Conveyance of a narrow strip of land to the City of Fredericksburg necessary for the widening of the
street known as Sunken Road which is the main entrance to the college.
At the meeting of the State Board of Education on August 28, 1943, the following resolution was adopted:
"Progress Report of Committee on Request of City of Fredericksburg for College to Convey
Strip of Land- Pursuant to a minute of the Board, recorded in current volume (Vol. 14)
page 50, further consideration was given to the request of the City of Fredericksburg
for the college to convey a strip of land on the east side of the campus, varying in
width from 16 ft. to 22 ft. and 192 ft. long, in order to enable the city to widen and
straighten the street known as Sunken Road. The Board suggested that President Combs
notify Mr. L. J. Houston, Jr., City Manager of the City of Fredericksburg, that the
Board will, at the proper time, recommend to the Legislature that the City of Fredericksburg
be given this piece of land. In this connection, the Board called attention to the
importance of having ample provision contained in the agreement between the city and the
college for the proper protection of the college."
See the Act of the General Assembly during session 1944 in reference to the matter.
Pursuant to the resolution of the State Board of Education, then the governing body of Mary Washington
College, and the subsequent Act by the General Assembly, it is recommended that the following action
be taken.
RESOLVED, by the Board of Visitors of the Rector and Visitors of the University

Virginia be and are hereby authorized to convey to the City of Fredericksburg a strip
of land varying in width from 16 ft. to 22 ft. and 192 ft. long, in order to widen
the street known as Sunken Road, which is the main entrance to the college campus.
