clerk’s office and jail and the residue planted with trees and kept as
a place for the people of the county or city to meet and confer together;
provided that any portion of said lands not occupied with such buildings
or structures may be used as a parking area with or without parking
meters to promote the orderly parking of vehicles and flow of traffic;
provided, * further, that any portion of said lands owned by a county
and located within a city or town, and not actually occupiea by the court-
house, clerk’s office or jail, may be sold or exchanged and conveyed to
the said city or town to be used for street or other public purposes. Any
such sale or exchange by the board of supervisors of a county shall be
made in accordance with the provisions of § 15-692. The requirement
of two acres shall not apply as to any tract consisting of at least one
acre which may be conveyed to a county by a city for use as a courthouse
