CONVEYANCE OF PROPERTY TO STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT

The State Highway Department wishes to widen Route Number 3 extending west from Fredericksburg
to Orange. The College owns property adjacent to this highway. For the purpose of widening
this road, it will be necessary for the Highway Department to acquire from the College a strip of
land approximately 592 feet in length and about 25 feet in width consisting of 32/100 of an acre.
The Highway Department proposes to compensate the College for this strip of land in the amount of
$1,200. Dr. Combs stated that the College officials thought this offer was fair. The following
resolution was then adopted.

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that Mary Washington College be and is hereby authorized to convey to the State Highway
Department, subject to the approval of the State Legislature, that parcel of land extending approximately
592 feet adjacent to Route 3 and approximately 25 feet deep as shown on Highway blue print,
State Project Number 3388-02, Sheet 4 and Sheet 5, for the sum of $1,200.
