Power to dispose of permanently closed street

When a public street is permanently closed under section 253, the municipal council may, with the sanction of the Government, dispose of the site or of so much thereof as is no longer required, in such manner as may be approved by the Government, provided that compensation is made to any person injured by such closing.

1. (2) In determining such compensation, allowance shall be made for any benefit accruing to the same premises or any adjacent premises belonging to the same owner from the construction or improvement of any other public street at or about the same time that the public street on account of which the compensation is paid, is closed.
