The title to all property with all improvements and equipment acquired for park,
airport or aviation field purposes, subject to any existing leases thereof, shall
be held by the city in strict and inviolable trust for such public purposes, free
from all taxation, imposts or assessments by state, county, district, municipal,
or other governmental subdivision; but the city may use any portion of such
property as is necessary and proper for the construction, extension, or
widening of streets, boulevards, thoroughfares or other public ways, and may
enter into contracts or agreements, with reference to properties acquired for
airport or aviation field purposes, for the use of the field and airport for aviation
purposes, with the United States government or any agency thereof, or any
state government or any agency thereof, or any board of aviation established
under any act of the General Assembly of this Commonwealth, or of any other
commonwealth or state, or any individual, firm or corporation. However, it shall
at no time and in no way enter into any contract or agreement that prevents its
carrying out the main purpose of the establishment and maintenance of a
public municipal aviation field and airport, for the general use of the citizens of
the city as a park purpose.
Such park property as consists of all connecting parkways and roads or drives
between public parks, and all avenues, roads, ways, drives, walks, outside of
or on the boundaries of public parks which were or are acquired for park
purposes, shall be under the direction, control, maintenance and management
of the department of public works of the city, and any such property may be
declared by resolution of the board of aldermen to be a part of the public ways
of the city.
