Michigan Law Review

On November 13, 1941, plaintiff entered into a lease with defendant granting defendant the exclusive right to mine and remove coal from plaintiff's mine for twenty years.

Pooling And Unitization Of Oil And Gas Leases, A. Allen King Jan 1948

Pooling And Unitization Of Oil And Gas Leases, A. Allen King

Michigan Law Review

Not so many years ago the oil industry faced utter collapse and ruin, a situation brought on by operations under legal rules developed in the early days of the industry when knowledge of the physical characteristics of oil and gas and their underground reservoirs was limited as compared with present day knowledge. In the late 1920's and early 1930's discoveries of great new oil fields that were developed and operated under the Rule of Capture and the Offset Drilling Rule caused a flood of oil on a market unable to absorb it. This not only had an adverse effect upon …

Taxation-Income Tax-Depletion-Lessor's Share In Net Income As Subject To Depletion, William H. Buchanan S.Ed. Apr 1946

Taxation-Income Tax-Depletion-Lessor's Share In Net Income As Subject To Depletion, William H. Buchanan S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Taxpayer which owned certain lands leased the same to companies for production of oil and other minerals for a cash bonus, a royalty in the usual form, and an agreement that lessor should receive a percentage of the net money profits realized by the lessees from their operation under the lease. Lessor claimed a right to deduct depletion allowance from the receipts which were a percentage of the net income arising from operating the properties. Held, lessor had a right to depletion deduction in respect to the percentage of net income because it had an "economic interest" in the …


The Demise Of Fair Value, Robert W. Harbeson Jun 1944

The Demise Of Fair Value, Robert W. Harbeson

Michigan Law Review

Two years ago, in discussing the Natural Gas Pipeline Company case, the writer ventured the opinion that "while it cannot be stated with certainty that the decision marks the demise of that hardy perennial--fair value--since the majority opinion did not explicitly repudiate that doctrine," there was language which indicated that such would nevertheless be the result of the decision. This prophecy now appears to be substantiated by the decision of the Supreme Court on January 3, 1944, in Federal Power Commission v. Hope Natural Gas Company. In the Pipeline Company case Chief Justice Stone stated significantly that "the Constitution …

Public Utilities - Federal Power Commission- Just And Reasonable Rate - Rate Base - Going Value - Original Investment As Amortization Base, Michigan Law Review May 1942

Public Utilities - Federal Power Commission- Just And Reasonable Rate - Rate Base - Going Value - Original Investment As Amortization Base, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Smyth v. Ames, source of the elusive principle that has pestered courts and public utility commissions since 1898, is still not a dead letter. Doubtless the only reason its doctrine stands at this late date is that no recent case has forced the Court to reconsider the "fair value" rule. However, in Federal Power Commission v. Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America, decided by the Court on March 16, 1942, three justices took occasion to "lay the ghost" of the 1898 decision once and for all and to declare that the case "erases much which has been written …

Administrative Law - Judicial Review - Status Of Captive Mines Under The National Bituminous Coal Act -, Eric Stein

Michigan Law Review

Petitioner railroad company held a renewable short-term lease of a coal mine, and engaged an independent contractor to extract the coal for its exclusive use. The lease and the agreement with the contractor were coextensive in time, the railroad having an option to terminate the agreement whenever the contractor failed to meet the prevailing market price. Petitioner applied for an exemption of the coal thus obtained from the provisions of the National Bituminous Coal Act, relying upon the section which excludes coal consumed by the "producer" ("captive coal") from the Coal Code regulations. Held, the order of the commission …


Oil And Gas - Interpretation Of Lease Containing Royalty Provisions, Brooks F. Crabtree Mar 1942

Oil And Gas - Interpretation Of Lease Containing Royalty Provisions, Brooks F. Crabtree

Michigan Law Review

Several of the plaintiffs owned oil-producing land in Oklahoma and had leased it to one Briggs. The lease ran for a fixed term and "so long thereafter as oil or gas may be produced therefrom by the lessee." It provided for a royalty payment to the lessor of one-eighth of the oil or gas produced, and gave the lessee the right "at any time" to remove all machinery and equipment placed on the premises, including the right to draw and remove the casing. Briggs sold the equipment thereon to defendant and later sold the lease itself to one of the …

Principal And Surety - Discharge Of Surety For A Lessee By Assignment Of The Lease, H. Martin Peckover

Michigan Law Review

Lands set aside by statute as common property of the Chickasaw and Choctaw Indian tribes were, pursuant to an act of Congress, leased to one Gunther by mining trustees of the tribes. The lease contained covenants to pay "stipulated annual advance royalties," and also provided that no assignment should be made without the consent of the trustees "subject to the approval of the Secretary of the Interior." Defendant surety company executed a bond for the faithful performance of the terms of the lease, and the same was duly approved. Then Gunther, with the consent of the trustees, but not the …

Deeds - Construction - Effect Of Words Showing Purpose Of Grant, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff sought to enjoin defendants from drilling for oil and gas on a strip of land which defendants claimed through a "right of way deed" conveying and warranting the strip to a railroad company "as and for its right of way'' and describing the land as "across and upon" a certain quarter-section. The deed recited as consideration $250 and the benefits accruing to the grantor through the construction and operation of a railroad on the land. Tracks were never laid on the strip, but the railroad company continued to pay taxes thereon. Held, that under Illinois law a fee …
