                         MILITIA AND MILITARY AFFAIRS
                                  CHAPTER 7
                        ARMORIES AND MILITARY PROPERTY
    46-720.  AGREEMENTS NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH UNITED STATES STATUTES FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF ARMORIES AUTHORIZED. It is the sense of the legislature that
the defense of the country and the general welfare of its people is the joint
responsibility of the government of the United States and the several states
thereof including the state of Idaho and its cities, villages and counties. In
fulfilling this obligation and to promote volunteer organizations and to
afford them effectual encouragement, it is necessary for the state of Idaho to
provide the national guard with armories for training personnel and housing
equipment. The state of Idaho desires to avail itself of the provisions of
existing federal statutes, and any statutes that may be enacted hereafter
relating to the construction of armories and to provide, in addition to
military use, that such armories shall be available for use in event of
emergencies or disasters and for community use. To permit cities and villages,
cities or villages and counties, and counties to participate with the state of
Idaho in the acquisition of armories and sites for armories, and to accomplish
the purposes of this act, it is hereby found and declared necessary to
authorize cities and villages, cities or villages and counties, and counties
to levy taxes, to donate funds and property to the state of Idaho, and to
enter into such agreements as may be necessary for the purpose of complying
with the statutes of the United States relating to the construction of
armories.
