estate described in Section 1 of this act and for the conveyance 398
of the easements described in Sections 2, 3, and 4 of this act is 399

effective date. 430
Section 10. This act is hereby declared to be an emergency 432
measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the public 433
peace, health, and safety. The reason for the emergency is that 434
the conveyance of the real estate and the easements under this 435
act at the earliest possible time is crucial for the City of 436
Columbus to begin construction of water tanks and to avoid the 437
substantial costs that would be incurred by delaying this 438
project. Therefore, this act shall go into immediate effect. 439
