Memphis Ceasel Becomes a New Municipal Entity
The article describes Memphis shifting to a taxing district within Shelby County and establishing a new government. It details a legislative council drawn from fire and police commissioners and a five member board of public works. The executive is a president earning 2000 dollars, with other board members paid modestly and serving four year terms. A health board is appointed by the council, and the system cannot independently handle city debts or taxes beyond legislature approved appropriations. The move aims to stabilize finances and pace reform, with the supreme court ruling that the change in name and form did not void obligations.
