Carson v. Great Lakes Pipe Line Co.

M. S. Ling in 1931 granted Great Lakes Pipe Line Company, appellant, an easement over his land, for construction of a pipe line. Two instruments were executed; a right-of-way agreement and a receipt and release, and which, by their terms, constitute one agreement.
