  " (2.) No person who executes an instrument, whereby such a right-of-way as is referred to in subsection (1) is created, shall be liable for any breach of any covenant contained in the instrument after he has ceased to be owner of the land.
  " (3.) This section shall be retroactive in its application and shall apply to all instruments of the nature described in subsection (1) registered before as well as after the enactment of this section."
