FILE - In this Dec. 20, 2018, file photo the 1935 statue of Robert E. Lee, right, and a young soldier by sculptor Alexander Phimister, sit in storage at Hensley Field, the former Naval Air Station on the west side of Mountain Creek Lake in Dallas. Dallas City Council on Wednesday, May 22, 2019 declared the statue surplus property and offered to sell it for a minimum $450,000, what it cost to move the bronze artwork from public view. The statue was removed from a park in September 2017 and put in storage and has been appraised at $950,000, which Dallas authorities say could pay for removal of the city's Confederate War Memorial.
