Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to immediately authorize the solemnization of a certain marriage, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives
in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same,
as follows:
Notwithstanding the provisions of section thirty-nine of chapter two hundred and seven of the General Laws or any other general or special law to the contrary, the state secretary may authorize in the manner set forth under said section thirty-nine the solemnization of a marriage by Richard P. Dana, as he is a registered notary public in the state of Maine, in the town of Orleans on June second, nineteen hundred and ninety between Ann Foster of the town of Orleans and Peter Van Dyke of the town of Harwich, and the state secretary shall issue to said Richard P. Dana in his capacity as aforesaid a certificate of such authorization.
