CROCKETT, Justice
(concurring).
I concur and offer these further observations : in a contract of this character where something is to be done in connection with planned future activities, as was the conveyance of these lots, and specification of a definite time is omitted, the law will imply that it is to be done within some such reasonable time as it must sensibly be supposed was contemplated by the parties. What the reasonable time is is to be determined by looking at all of the facts and circumstances. That is what should be done here. The instant situation does not appeal to me as being in any way related to the too-long-delayed vesting of estates in land which the rule against perpetuities is purposed to prevent.
