Krug Oil Revenue Plan Opposed by State Ownership Advocates
City Attorney Irving M. Smith states the Krug bill granting states a share of federal oil lease revenue conflicts with the National Association of Attorneys General stance favoring state ownership. The measure, introduced by 20 Senators and many Representatives, is pending in Congress. Smith notes the bill offers a small royalty and would not alter ownership, while warnings arise on potential federal seizure of Long Beach waterfront if the Supreme Court aligns with federal phrasing. The city would not share royalties, as title remains state-based. the 37 percent proposed to states would hinge on federal royalty, with other leases yielding higher and varied returns.
