Dead Birminham Drainage District issues notice of meeting.
Mormon Church Representatives to hold meeting to set drainage tax rates for people living
within the City limits of Kansas City., specifically for the companies it sold property too and
neighbors of the Church. Mr. Kester works in Kansas, Lives in Grandview and claims to have
been appointed by the Church.
The meeting notice was published in a small outlying newspaper far from the people the
notice was supposed to inform, if it had been a legal public corporation. This corporation died
December 22, 1963. The Missouri Constitution prohibited it from being reorganized within
the Kansas City limits on a petition by land owners. A 1923 Missouri Supreme Court upheld
Kansas City's sole authority over drainage and levees within the City limits. A key point was
that only land owners with one acre of land would have a vote on business matters.
