Kansas City Franchise Fight Shapes Municipal Control
A Kansas City plea on a street railway franchise reveals a battle over control of the city’s transit. The plan shifts eight per cent gross receipts tax to a lenient scheme, risking forfeiture only through lengthy default, while permitting bonds to cover vast property value.

The analysis cites Dr. Wilcox’s Municipal Franchise as a guide to safeguard public rights against corporate maneuvering.
