Latin-American Land Reform: The Uses Of Confiscation, Kenneth L. Karst Dec 1964

Latin-American Land Reform: The Uses Of Confiscation, Kenneth L. Karst

Michigan Law Review

This article examines the legislative techniques for taking land, showing their confiscatory operation. For many lawyers, the analysis would then be easily completed: confiscation is wrongful and must be condemned. Rejecting the implicit absolutism of that conclusion, this article inquires into the justifications that can be pleaded on behalf of selective confiscation as an aid in solving some of Latin America's economic and social ills.


Land Use Planning For Industrial Development, Peter J. Winders Oct 1964

Land Use Planning For Industrial Development, Peter J. Winders

Vanderbilt Law Review

For many reasons, a political unit may decide to undertake a program of encouraging the establishment of industry within its borders. This may be effectively done by informing entrepreneurs of the locational advantages which sites within the jurisdiction offer and by increasing the attractiveness of the sites. Research necessary to provide industry with information about possible plant sites and resources will provide part of the data from which projections may be made as to future development of the area. When such projections indicate that an area is one which will in the future be a desirable location for industry, steps …


North Coast Area Investigation. Preliminary Edition, California Department Of Water Resources Sep 1964

North Coast Area Investigation. Preliminary Edition, California Department Of Water Resources

California Agencies

With this report, the Department of Water Resources concludes a seven-year reconnaissance investigation of the North Coastal area. This investigation has been part of the department's traditional and continuing activities in planning for statewide water development. The objective of the reconnaissance program was to formulate plans by which the water resources of the region can be integrated with the State's expanding economy through orderly, staged development. The planning emphasis has been directed towards major water conservation projects; however, all aspects of water control and utilization have been considered. The planning framework presented herein is thus multiple-purpose in nature; it provides …


New Values Under Old Oil And Gas Leases: Helium, Who Owns It?, C. Douglas Kranwinkle May 1964

New Values Under Old Oil And Gas Leases: Helium, Who Owns It?, C. Douglas Kranwinkle

Michigan Law Review

It is a well known maxim among oil and gas lawyers that "a producing well always clouds a title and a dry hole cures it." A variation of that maxim might be applied to producing wells which may or may not include, as by-products of the primary mineral, other substances that are extractible and valuable. Of course, once production of by-products begins, conveyancers give special attention to these resources, but many instruments executed before such development may be phrased in general terms without specific mention of substances unimportant when the conveyance was made. Even a recent instrument may lack specificity …

Eminent Domain-Urban Renewal-Broader Powers To Take Private Property For Public Use, Roger L. Mcmanus Apr 1964

Eminent Domain-Urban Renewal-Broader Powers To Take Private Property For Public Use, Roger L. Mcmanus

Michigan Law Review

Defendant city instituted a comprehensive urban redevelopment plan under which condemnation and purchase of blighted property would be followed by extensive demolition and clearance. This land was then to be sold subject to certain use restrictions to private developers, chiefly for light industry. Plaintiff, an owner of real estate described as "improved and enhanced with . . . a good, sound, sanitary, modem and well-kept building," brought an action in a lower state court seeking a declaratory judgment against the constitutionality of the Washington Urban Renewal Law, and an injunction to prevent defendant city from condemning his property under the …


The Municipal Corporation And Conflicts Over Extraterritorial Acquisitions: The Need For Land Planning, Robert Phay Mar 1964

The Municipal Corporation And Conflicts Over Extraterritorial Acquisitions: The Need For Land Planning, Robert Phay

Vanderbilt Law Review

The conflicts which arise between different governmental units involve questions of power, loss of revenue, inconsistent zoning statutes,and actions challenged as arbitrary. However, basic to all these conflicts is the problem of conflicting desires for land use. In other words,any challenge made to a proposed taking is one in which the political unit affected by the taking objects because of supposed injury to its own development, interests, or present governmental functions. The problem can thus be seen as actually concerning the proper allocation of land-a study in land planning, the ultimate objective being, ac-cording to McDougal and Rotival, "the creation …

Change Of Neighborhood In Nuisance Cases, Martin A. Levitin Jan 1964

Change Of Neighborhood In Nuisance Cases, Martin A. Levitin

Cleveland State Law Review

The law of nuisance lies somewhere between the legal principle that each person may use his property as he sees fit, and the contradictory principle that he must so use it as not to injure the property or rights of his neighbors. With the growth of our nation, and its changing balance between rural and urban populations, the established principles of tort law as applied to nuisances evidence the "elastic adaptability" of the common law.
