Emergency Preamble

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to allow an underground fiber optic cable system to be installed in the city of Lynn by way of a permanent easement, which is immediately necessary to carry out to accomplish important public purposes for which there is no feasible alternative, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
