33-12-8. Disposition of unsuitable property--Public auction or private sale--Procedure--Accounting. Any military property of the state which, after a proper inspection, is found unsuitable for the use of the state shall, under direction of the Governor, be disposed of by the quartermaster general at public auction or private sale. The sale shall be advertised at least once each week for two successive weeks, in at least one legal newspaper published in the first or second class municipality or county where the sale is to take place, if so ordered by the Governor. The quartermaster general shall bid in the property or suspend the sale if, in the quartermaster general's opinion, better prices may or should be obtained. The quartermaster general shall periodically render to the Governor an accurate account of the sales so made and deposit the proceeds with the state treasurer to the credit of the special militia fund.
