SALE OF WHARF PROPERTY BY FIRST CLASS CITIES
                  Act of May 11, 1901, P.L. 183, No. 149              Cl. 11
                                  AN ACT

     To authorize the sale of property acquired or held for public
        landings by cities of the first class, where the same or
        portions thereof are not required for the purpose originally
        intended.

        Whereas, There is land in cities of the first class,
     originally acquired for public landings, on which wharves or
     piers have been constructed, and which, on account of changes in
     methods of business, are no longer used for the purposes
     originally intended, and, on account of changes of wharf and
     harbor lines, cannot be adapted to wharf purposes without
     extension and improvement:

        Section 1.  Be it enacted, &c., That cities of the first
     class are hereby authorized and empowered to sell at public sale
     and convey all their right, title and interest in and to any and
     all real estate, acquired and held as such public landings, or
     any parts thereof, whenever such landings or parts thereof are
     not required for the purposes originally intended, subject
     however to such trusts as were originally charged upon such
     lands as public landings; and the mayor of such cities is
     authorized to execute the necessary deeds and other writings to
     carry out the purposes of this act: Provided, all such sale or
     sales and conveyances shall first be authorized by ordinance of
     council.
