Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This was an action by several taxpayers in the Shawnee and
Mission townships Turkey Creek main sewer district No. 1 to
enjoin the district and the officers thereof from levying a
proposed tax on their property. From an order of the trial court
sustaining defendants' demurrer, plaintiffs appeal. Plaintiffs' petition alleged that in a special election called
by defendants on May 27, 1958, the question of authorizing
construction of a main trunk sewer system and issuance of bonds
of the sewer district to pay for the same was submitted to the
electors of the sewer district and was carried by 107 votes out
of 4799 votes cast, and that as a result of the election
defendants intended and were taking action to authorize
construction of the sewer system, issuance of notes and bonds for
the cost thereof, and levy of taxes on the property owners in the
district. Plaintiffs further alleged that the special bond
election and the proposed tax levy were illegal and void (1)
because the sewer district was unlawfully organized, and (2)
because of irregularities in the special bond election.
