Marshall v. Standard Oil Co.

This cause is before us upon an appeal from the judgment of the trial court perpetually enjoining and restraining the City of Huntington Beach and its lessee, Carr Oil Corporation, from carrying on drilling and oil production operations on and within a portion of that public street or highway known as “Ocean Avenue”. The action was begun by A. D. Marshall, a citizen and taxpayer of the City of Huntington Beach, to restrain such operations. Respondents Huntington Beach Company and Pacific Electric Railway Company each filed cross-complaints against the city and its lessee, Carr Oil Corporation.
