Election Of Remedies - Deficiency Decree As Bar To Subsequent Suit On Debt, Donald H. Larmee
Michigan Law Review
After foreclosure in Florida of a purchase money mortgage on Florida land, the mortgagee filed a claim for the deficiency against the estate of one of the co-mortgagors, who was a permanent resident of Michigan, and who had been served only by publication in the foreclosure suit. In the foreclosure proceedings the mortgagee had prayed for a deficiency decree, and the Florida court had retained jurisdiction for that purpose, after ordering the sale. The mortgagee had taken no further steps in that proceeding. Held, the Florida law was controlling, and that by Florida statutes, as construed by the courts …

Taxation - Exemptions - Municipally-Owned Property
Michigan Law Review

The city thereafter rented the offices to tenants operating private businesses. The county in which the building was located subjected it to an ad valorem tax. Contesting the right to its collection, the city failed to pay the assessed taxes, for a period of four years. Held, the property, although municipally-owned, not being held or used for any governmental or …
Constitutional Law - Race Segregation Ordinance - Effect Of Military Order Of Governor Issued For Same Purpose
Michigan Law Review
A "segregation ordinance" of Oklahoma City, prospective in nature, made it unlawful for any negro to occupy as a residence any house or building located in a block wherein a majority of the buildings used were occupied by white persons. The initial step in the segregation of races in the city occurred when the Governor issued a military order for the separation of the races, because it appeared that riot and bloodshed were imminent; such order to remain in effect until an ordinance was passed in lieu of the order. Held, the ordinance was an invalid exercise of the …

Michigan Law Review
A New York statute set up a public corporation with power to investigate and study housing conditions in the city, and to plan and carry out projects for the clearance of slums and the providing of housing accommodations for persons of low income. The corporation sought to condemn certain property owned by the defendant, who resisted the proceeding on the ground that the taking was not for a public use and therefore violative of the Fourteenth Amendment and a similar provision in the state constitution. Held, that the taking was for a public benefit and that therefore the constitutional …

Future Interests-Remainder To A Class As A Vested Remainder
Michigan Law Review
Testator left to his daughter certain real estate "as her sole and separate property during her natural life and at her death to her children absolutely." One of the children mortgaged his interest in the remainder to plaintiff and died, the life tenant surviving him; and thereafter the plaintiff brought suit for foreclosure. Held, this was a remainder to uncertain persons which did not vest in anyone during the life of the life tenant; and therefore the mortgage was a nullity. Deener v. Watkins, 191 Ark. 776, 87 S. W. (2d) 994 (1935).

Simes On Future Interests, Charles C. White
Simes On Future Interests, Charles C. White
Michigan Law Review
It is encouraging that the law teachers are turning their talents to the writing of treatises. Recent examples are Professor Bogert's monumental work on Trusts and Professor Griswold's volume on Spendthrift Trusts. And now comes this comprehensive work on Future Interests, about which little has heretofore been written with an especial appeal to the average practitioner. Too much of the law teacher's energy has. gone into editing case books and writing law review articles. And case books and law review articles are not read by lawyers in general.

Specific Performance--Damages--Action At Law By Vendor Of Land For The Full Purchase Price
Specific Performance--Damages--Action At Law By Vendor Of Land For The Full Purchase Price
Michigan Law Review
In an action at law by a vendor of land for breach of contract by the purchaser, the title not having passed, the traditional measure of damages is the difference between the contract price and the value of the land at the time the vendor's conveyance was due. But where a conveyance is not yet due from the vendor a majority of jurisdictions allow recovery of all but the last installment of the purchase money, on the ground that in that case the promise to pay is independent of the vendor's promise to convey. Even where a conveyance is due …

Quasi Contracts-Liability Of Landowner For Repairs Furnished Without Request
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff furnished labor and materials for repairs to a farm house owned by defendant.

Plaintiff sued to foreclose a materialman's lien, but the lien was disallowed because not filed in time. It was held, nevertheless, that even though plaintiff was unable to prove either a contract with defendant or an agency relationship between defendant and his brother, plaintiff could still recover the reasonable value of the benefits furnished to …

Oliver Iron Mining Co., 273 Mich. 27,262 N. W. 728 (1935).
Eminent Domain-Validity Of State Statute
Eminent Domain-Validity Of State Statute
Michigan Law Review
As upon certiorari, the New Mexico Supreme Court considered the question, whether it is "within legislative competence to declare a public use in the industry of coal mining, so as to permit taking private property in aid of it." Plaintiff had obtained a judgment of condemnation, and defendant attacked it as offensive to the New Mexico constitutional provision: "Private property shall not be taken or damaged for public use without just compensation." The opinion recognized the existence of an "orthodox" and a "liberal" doctrine of construing "public use." While the court found that, unlike Nevada's or Utah's, New Mexico's well-being …

Michigan Law Review

The Taxation Of Real Estate Subject To Mortgage And Other Incumbrances, Robert C. Brown
The Taxation Of Real Estate Subject To Mortgage And Other Incumbrances, Robert C. Brown
Articles by Maurer Faculty
The purpose of this paper is to examine the method of taxing real estate which is affected by incumbrances-either physical or legal. In particular, it is desired to consider the situation where the incumbrance is a mortgage or otherwise purely for security. And particular consideration is to be given to the propriety of taxing as real estate the interest of a non-resident mortgagee or similar incumbrancer in land within the jurisdiction.
Assignments -Validity Of Gratuitous Written Assignment
Assignments -Validity Of Gratuitous Written Assignment
Michigan Law Review
Deceased took defendant, his son, to a notary and there made and acknowledged written assignments of three mortgages he owned. He handed these assignments to defendant, saying "I give you these. Put them in the safety-deposit box." Defendant went away with the assignments which reappear only after the father's death; they were found in an envelope, marked with defendant's name in deceased's hand, in a safety-deposit box owned jointly by deceased and defendant. Deceased always retained possession and enjoyment of the actual mortgage instruments. Plaintiff, another son, claims these mortgages should be part of deceased's estate. The court held that …

Landlord And Tenant-Liability Of Lessee For Breach Of Contract- Measure Of Damages
Landlord And Tenant-Liability Of Lessee For Breach Of Contract- Measure Of Damages
Michigan Law Review
Defendant, lessee under a contract providing for payment of rents monthly in advance, moved out before expiration of the term and gave notice of refusal to comply further with the terms of the lease. Plaintiff, lessor, elected to treat the failure to pay the installment then due as a present breach of the contract and sued for damages. Defendant claimed that the contract had become unilateral after plaintiff's performance in conveying the leasehold which would give grounds for an anticipatory breach which defendant claimed was the theory of plaintiff's action. On defendant's demurrer to the complaint, it was held that …
Municipal Corporations-Regulation Of Gas Stations-Delegation To Property Owners Of Power To Modify Zoning Restrictions
Michigan Law Review
A city ordinance prohibited the installation of gasoline filling stations within the city except after obtaining the written consent of 51 per cent of the property owners within a radius of six hundred feet from the site. Relator, without obtaining the required consent, asked for a writ of mandamus, which was refused. The court held the regulation not arbitrary but substantially relating to the public safety and welfare, and not a delegation of legislative powers. State ex rel. Standard Oil Co. v. Combs, 129 Ohio St. 251, 194 N. E. 875 (1935).
