Section 31-4-16

Sale or lease of armories.

When the State Armory Commission shall receive information from the Governor of the disbandment of an organization of the National Guard or Naval Militia of Alabama occupying or using an armory provided under the direction of the armory commission, it shall be the duty of said commission to determine whether such armory shall be sold or not. If it is determined that such armory shall be sold, the same shall be sold to the highest bidder after publication of advertisement for bids, and the proceeds of such sale shall be divided between the state, county and city as their interest may appear; provided that in case an armory becomes vacant by reason mentioned in this section, the Armory Commission for the state 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 therefrom in either case to be turned into the Armory Fund.
