Practice question: Patrimonial Property

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A city public promenade remains actively devoted to public use. A kiosk there pays lawful concession fees. Do fees alone necessarily make the whole promenade patrimonial?
  1. Every fee automatically privatizes the entire promenade.
  2. Only the kiosk operator can classify public property.
  3. The promenade necessarily belongs personally to the cashier.
  4. The city must transfer title to every visitor.
  5. No; the actual statutory public-use character is not defeated solely by that income fact.
