Humboldt the Debt Case and a Tangled Municipal Web
A Kansas town Humboldt is described as an extinct municipal corporation facing old debt from 1870 bonds for rail lines. Officials never qualified, courts can’t compel payment, and governance runs by volunteer funds with a mayor and council acting as citizens’ committee.
