CHAPTER 572
HOUSE BILL 759

AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF PAMLICO COUNTY TO EXECUTE A DEED FOR THE FLORENCE WHITE SCHOOL SITE TO THE FLORENCE CAMP NO. 449 OF THE WOODMEN OF THE WORLD.

WHEREAS, the Board of Education of Pamlico County conveyed the Florence White School site to the Florence Camp No. 449 of the Woodmen of the World by deed dated February 5, 1958, and recorded in Book 122 at page 567 in the office of the Register of Deeds of Pamlico County, and this deed was executed pursuant to Chapter 94 of the Session Laws of 1957; and
WHEREAS, said deed, made pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Education of Pamlico County and said Local Act, contained a provision that said land was conveyed in trust, to be maintained as a community building, with a proviso or condition that if said property should not be maintained as a community building, then title thereto would revert to the Board of Education of Pamlico County; and
WHEREAS, this condition in said deed prohibits and prevents the said Florence Camp No. 449 of the Woodmen of the World from obtaining loans to improve and remodel the old building on said land, which is in a bad state of repair, and, further, it is to the best interest of said community that said building be renovated and improved: Now, therefore,
