SALE OR LEASE OF ARMORIES (§ 44-136)

When the Adjutant General shall receive information from the Governor of the
disbandment of an organization of the National Guard occupying or using an
armory provided by the Commonwealth under the direction of the Adjutant General,
he shall determine whether such armory shall be sold or not, and if it is
determined that such armory be sold after due publication as prescribed by the
laws of the Commonwealth for the sale of real estate under a deed of trust, it
shall be sold at public auction for the highest price to be paid for same, and
upon such terms and conditions as may seem best to the Adjutant General. The
proceeds of such sale shall be divided between the Commonwealth, county, city or
individual, as their interest may appear.
		In case an armory becomes vacant by any reason mentioned in this section, the
Adjutant General may lease such armory for a period not to exceed one year, or,
when duly authorized by the Governor, may lease the same for a period of years,
the proceeds due the Commonwealth therefrom in either case to be turned into the
state treasury to be credited to the Armory Fund. Should there be other owner or
owners than the Commonwealth then the balance of the proceeds shall be equitably
turned over to them as their interest may appear. During the time that the
troops quartered in an armory are absent from their home station, in federal
service, the armory may be leased as above provided, but not sold.
