Any public body is hereby authorized and empowered to acquire

by purchase, transfer or exchange any real property owned by any

other public body, and any public body is hereby authorized and

empowered to dispose of by sale, transfer or exchange to or with

any other public body any real property owned by it, any such

acquisition or disposition to be upon such terms and conditions as

may be agreed upon by and between the public bodies, taking into

consideration (1) the lack of need for such property by the public

body holding title thereto; (2) the need for such property by the

public body desiring to acquire title thereto; and (3) the benefits

to be derived by the public as a result of such acquisition or

disposition: Provided, That any acquisition or disposition by the

state, or any agency, department, board or commission thereof, must

first be approved in writing by the board of public works. All

conveyances of any such real property shall be by deed or deeds, as
