consideration; and

Whereas, the said County Commissioners properly advertised
their intentions to convey said land as aforesaid, in accordance with
Section 22-A of Article 23 of the Code of Public Local Laws of
the State of Maryland (1930 Edition), as amended by Chapter 376
of the Acts of 1945, and no protest was filed thereto; and

Whereas, the said land has been and is currently being used as an
outdoor recreation field by the general public, therefore making it
impossible for said County Commissioners to declare said land no
longer needed for the general use of the public; and

Whereas, the County Commissioners have been able to make
available to the general public another tract of land owned by the
Board of Education of Wicomico County to serve in the place and
stead of said land hereinafter described; and

Whereas, the County Commissioners of Wicomico County deem it
to the best interest of the general public of said County to convey the
fee simple title in the hereinafter described land unto the said Wico-
mico War Memorial Builders, Inc., its successors and assigns; now,
therefore
