Honorable Mayor and Council.
City of Wyandottc.
| Dear Sirs:
In pursuance to your request OF
December 10. 1910, AS To the opinion
in regards to bid of Mr.. Max Mig
doll Of $6OOO0.OO for the purchase of
ahe property known as the Library
dOtte.
The City of WyandOtte, by charter
provision, may sell real property be
longing To the city if sold for proper
| consideration The only other reStric
ton placed on the governing body of
the city is that of the Home Rule
act of 1909 as amended, which places
further restriction il sold for price
in excess of 500 per capita head az
cording to the last Federal census, il
then requires vote Of the people.
The unofficial population of Wyan-
dotte. as of April l, 1910. was @.'Hl
Therefore. the maximum bid without
| ,Oing to the vote of the people would
he SCI 90 somewhat over the bid
of S6O.OOOOO offered by Mr. MigdOll III
his formal bid Of November o. 1910.
The courts Of this country have con
sistently held that the census To he eS-
| tabIiShed il of the date set by thu
| United States code named On April l.
1910. Mr.. Migdoll'S fo! NAL bid for the
| Dropc' ty was for the sum VI S6O,OOO.U
and gave the City of WyandOtte the
| privilege of removing the building now
occupying the property. ut its own ex-
Il
highest of two bids received ana was
for S6n.WNW for the property in Its
entirety.
| III is my opinion that the formal al
fer made. by Mr. MigdOll was for SGD.
DOOIW and included the entire piece OF
propci ". including the building. and
| This price is lower than the statutory
/ restrictions of the Home Rule act
and would not require the vote OF the
Demlt in order to consImmate the
transaction Therefore, the City oil
WyandOtte. by proper resolution OF the
Council may legally sell and convey
>aid property.
Respectfully submitted.
