		Municipal Corporations 121 (NCI4th)-- annexation -- challenge -- burden of proof Where the record of annexation proceedings shows substantial compliance with the requirements of Chapter 160A, the burden is on petitioners to prove failure to meet those requirements or an irregularity in the proceedings which materially prejudiced their substantive rights.
		Municipal Corporations 58 (NCI4th)-- annexation -- urban use of annexed property -- time of calculation The superior court did not err in an annexation challenge by concluding that the City appropriately found that the area to be annexed was developed for urban purposes where the finding was not made on the date of annexation.
		Municipal Corporations 96 (NCI4th)-- annexation -- water and sewer services -- FmHA funds An annexation was not prohibited by the fact that the annexed area consumes the majority of a water and sewer district which recently constructed water and sewer facilities using funds borrowed from the Farmers Home Administration.

	OSCN Found Document:OKLAHOMA CITY v. DISTRICT COURT OF THIRTEENTH JUDICIAL DIST.
		The words "a corporation created by the Laws of this state" in section 112, O. 1931, must be construed in connection with the words "may be brought in the county in which it is situated" therein, and when so construed they are applicable to municipal corporations.

	Bricker & Eckler LLP: Ohio Supreme Court Allows for Municipal Taxation of Distributive Shares from Subchapter S ...
		Municipal corporations, on the other hand, have taken the position that subchapter S corporations, like partnerships, are ignored.
		Shareholders of subchapter S corporations that operate solely in Ohio will continue to be subject to municipal income tax on their entire distributive share of net profits (to the extent the net profits do not represent intangible income to the corporation, of course).
		Under existing R.C. 718.14(D), municipal corporations were required to elect, by January 1, 2003, whether to impose their income tax on the net profits of pass-through entities, such as partnerships, subchapter S corporations, and limited liability companies, at either the entity level or the ownership level.

	Royal Commission on Municipal Corporations (1835)
		The Corporations look upon themselves, and are considered by the inhabitants, as separate and exclusive bodies; they have powers and privileges within the towns and cities from which they are named, but in most places all identity of interest between the Corporation and the inhabitants has disappeared.
		Since the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts, and the removal of the civil disabilities of the Catholics, very few instances occur in which either Catholics or Dissenters, who often form a numerous, respectable and wealthy portion of the inhabitants, have been chosen into the governing body of the corporation.
		In general, the corporate funds are but partially applied to municipal purposes, such as the preservation of the peace by an efficient police, or in watching or lighting the town, andc.; but they are frequently expended in feasting, and in paying the salaries of unimportant officers.

	OSCN Found Document:SUBLETT v. CITY OF TULSA
		MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS -- Governmental character of public ports, piers, wharves, etc. The governmental character of public ports, piers, wharves, etc., as well as rights in navigable waters and landing places is a matter upon which the sovereign is free to legislate.
		Where the Constitution and state laws exempt all property of municipal corporations within the State from taxation, such property is exempt therefrom without regard to the character of the use, and the fact that certain property may be used by private corporations does not abrogate Const., Art.
		This conclusion is predicated upon decisions which hold that powers of a municipal corporation must be construed strictly, and a city has only the powers granted, those impliedly (granted) and fairly incident to those expressly granted, or powers essential to the declared object of the municipality.

	AGO_1984_No_010 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A municipal corporation, in its strict and proper sense, is a body politic established by law partly as an agency of the state to assist in the civil government of the country but chiefly to regulate and administer the local and internal affairs of the city, town or district which is incorporated.
		Sometimes the term municipal corporation is used in a broader sense and includes public quasicorporations, the principal purpose of whose creation is an instrumentality of the state, but not for the regulation of local and special affairs of a compact community.
		As the term is used herein, what is meant is a corporation created or authorized by the legislature which is merely a public agency endowed with such of the attributes of a municipality as may be necessary in the performance of its limited objective.
