Supreme Court Affirms Canal Title Ownership Case
The court upholds that the appellee owns the canal portion from Lafayette to the Ohio line through a U S circuit court decree, with the state’s fee or easement status debated. The opinion finds the state acquired the fee upon appropriation, or through deed, but the dissent questions whether the appellee holds a fee simple, noting the canal remains a public work and the title may be an easement rather than full ownership.
