(2) When any open spare for purposes of ventilation or recreation has been provided by the Board to executing any housing scheme, the Board may at its option by resolution transfer such open space to the local authority concerned on completion of the scheme and thereupon such open space shall vest in and be maintained at the expense of the local authority: Provided that the local authority may require the Board before any such open space is so transferred to enclose, level, turf, drain and lay-out such space and provide foot-paths therein, and if necessary, to provide lamps and other apparatus for lighting it. (3) If any difference of opinion arises between the Board and local authorities in respect of any matter referred to in the foregoing provisions of this section, the matter shall be referred to the State Government whose decision thereon shall be final.
