Constitutional And Legislative Limitations Of The Home Rule Charter In Minnesota, Charles P. Hall
Constitutional And Legislative Limitations Of The Home Rule Charter In Minnesota, Charles P. Hall
Michigan Law Review
I regret exceedingly that I am not able, in the scope of these observations, to include all the states of the American Union, where the home-rule charters have been permitted as a method of city government; but unfortunately my vision has not passed beyond the horizon of my own state, and the workings of the homerule system in other states must be left as a subject for future study and comparison. With pardonable pride, however, it may be said that the State of Minnesota, while she has erred with her sister commonwealths in experimental over-legislation, has nevertheless recently placed upon …
Effect Of Foreign Chattel Mortages Upon The Rights Of Subsequent Purchasers And Creditors, Marion Griffin
Effect Of Foreign Chattel Mortages Upon The Rights Of Subsequent Purchasers And Creditors, Marion Griffin
Michigan Law Review
Should the title or lien of a foreign mortgagee be protected against the claims of creditors and innocent purchasers in the state to which the mortgaged property is removed? It is sometimes said that the chattel mortgage creates a mere lien by the law of the state where made, which is not entitled to recognition in any other state. The weight of authority is otherwise. It is a transfer of the, property itself as a security for the debt. There are some states in which a mortgage of personal property creates no title in the mortgagee, but a mere lien; …
The Evasion Of State Laws By Mail Order Insurance Companies, John G. Park
The Evasion Of State Laws By Mail Order Insurance Companies, John G. Park
Michigan Law Review
One of the commercial phenomena of this age has been the unprecedented development of the mail order industry. Mammoth mercantile establishments have arisen which never see their customers face to face, have no soliciting agents, and sell goods exclusively by means of the modest "catalogue," the postage stamp and the unwearied effort of the Post Office Department. Whether the story of the genial citizen who is said to have acquired a mail order wife be true or false, the popularity of the mail order scheme cannot be gainsaid.

Liability Of Water Companies For Fire Losses, Edson R. Sunderland
Liability Of Water Companies For Fire Losses, Edson R. Sunderland
Articles
In two recent articles published'in this Review, the question of the liability of water companies for fire losses was somewhat exhaustively discussed. The majority of the actions wherein it has been sought to hold water companies liable for fire losses suffered by private property owners, have been brought for breach of contract. In a few cases the theory adopted was that the water company owed a duty to all property owners, by reason of the public character of its service; and the fact that it was under contract with the city to furnish an adequate water supply and pressure for …
