Whereas , The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to authorize forthwith the designation of a certain state highway in the town of Stoughton, 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:

That portion of state highway route 138 beginning in the town of Stoughton at the intersection of Walnut street and extending to the town line of the town of Easton shall be designated and known as the Veterans of Foreign Wars Memorial Highway. The department of highways shall erect and maintain suitable markers bearing the designation in compliance with the standards of said department.
