Francis Wins Royalty Rights Over Railroad Right of Way
In Francis Oklahoma, a long legal battle over oil and gas leases near the Frisco Railroad ended with the town awarded mineral rights beneath the railroad right of way. The 1957 federal ruling by Judge Rice, upheld on appeal, grants Francis ownership of subsurface rights spanning 28 acres, with annual royalties around 250 dollars and initial payments beginning last February. Funds are slated for the town’s general fund and water system improvements.
