Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Plaintiff brought this action under our declaratory judgment statute (G.S. 1949, 60-3127 et seq.) seeking a binding adjudication and consequential relief respecting a contract between the parties. Defendant answered denying the interpretation of the contract alleged by plaintiff and that plaintiff was entitled to the relief sought, and prayed that the action be dismissed. It also filed a cross petition for a money judgment, and issues were joined upon the cross petition. A trial by the court resulted in judgment for plaintiff and defendant has appealed. Plaintiff, hereinafter referred to as Northern, is a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware and authorized to do business in Kansas. It is a Natural Gas Company, as that term is defined in the Act of Congress called the Natural Gas Act, 15 U.S.C.A. 717. Its business is to purchase or produce natural gas in one or more states and convey the same into other states for distribution and sale to ultimate consumers. Its pipe lines begin in the gas fields of Texas, extend north through the Hugoton gas fields in Kansas, and north into Nebraska and eastward to Omaha and to areas north and east of Omaha.
