Mayor, City of Bay t.Louis

Dear Mayor Franckiewicz:
Attorney General Pittman has received your letter
of request and has assigned it to me for research and
reply. Your letter states:
The city desires to dispose of a parcel of
property fronting 20 feet on a public street by
189 feet deep. This property was conveyed to the
a  city on June 12, 1970 for street purposes for use
of the general public. A copy of the deed along
with a map is attached.
The property in question is still vacant, and
has never been developed as a street. The owner of
Lot 350B (see attached map) indicates that he has,
on occasion, used the strip of property to gain
access to the rear of his lot. Other than this,
we know of no public use of the property.
We are refraining from selling this property
pending resolution of the following issues on which
we request your opinion:
1.   May the city council dispose of this pro-
perty simply by declaring its surplus and
advertising for bids as we would any other
