Court orders private enterprise ban for Williamsburg Township
District Judge Floyd Coffman issued a permanent order Friday barring Williamsburg Township from engaging in private enterprise such as gravel sales and terrace and silo pit work. County Attorney Donald White said the action, filed April 13, targets direct competition with private contractors and cites a Kansas Supreme Court rule limiting municipal powers to those delegated by statute. Township attorney John B. Pierson declined comment, noting no tax burden from the work and explaining funds support county expenses. White noted a prior similar dispute was settled by removing the township from an approved soil conservation contractors list.
