a large and modern stadium on the tract of land in State Fair
Park owned by the city herein described; and that unless this
resolution can become effective immediately the Stadium Commission
will refuse to construct the stadium in the city and will locate
it in another city, as the result of which the city and its
inhabitants will be deprived of the stadium and its resulting
benefits. it is, therefore, declared that an emergency exists,
that this resolution is necessary for the imediate preservation
of the public peace, health and safety, and that this resolution
shall take effect and be in force from an after its passage.
