12/5/1912- correspondence between the county and state about claims for prison labor....
"I have been in telephonic communication".... love it.....
My little berg has a dance hall that was owned by a church.?ÿ The church deeded it to the city for one dollar with a clause that no alcohol would ever be consumed on the property.?ÿ I'm not sure of the date, maybe about 1940's.?ÿ Anyway lots of dances there, I was a member of a rock band that played there many times.?ÿ Don't know how much alcohol was consumed there but plenty already consumed came through the door.?ÿ I think the country music dances were even worse.?ÿ So there has been a bit of controversy over it.?ÿ One night they turned the power off on us for playing to LOUD! About 5 years ago they got a grant from one of Utah's richest families (wife from our little town).?ÿ They spent over 2 million renovating the "dance hall" it now is one of the best facilities in town/area. They kept the original dance floor in place. Still no alcohol can be served there.?ÿ ?ÿDances are really not a thing these days compared to the late sixties - early seventies when there was one in the area every weekend, maybe more than one.?ÿ Young folk's have other things they do these days.
I think the first Deed is a Fee Simple Determinable meaning it automatically returns to the Grantor if alcohol is ever served on the premises.
The other type is Fee Simple subject to condition subsequent where the Grantor has to take action to recover the property. If the Grantor does not retake possession within the statutory period then the Grantee takes title by adverse possession. In cases where the language is ambiguous the law favors Fee Simple subject to condition subsequent because the law abhors a forfeiture. (See Krier on Property-Gilbert Law Summaries, pages 73 to 77)
Grantor's name is Bland.
I think so.?ÿ
I have been witness to dozens of declarations that were legally made to set properties into designed situations from timber management to alcohol restrictions that were totally ignored by everyone that bore profit from their greed that allowed the rape and pillage of vast amounts of natural resources that were intended to last families and communities centuries.
