Missouri Revised Statutes Title XV. Lands, Levees, Drainage, Sewers and Public Water Supply § 246.190. Court to appoint guardian ad litem

In all proceedings for the formation and administration of drainage and levee districts in Missouri under the provisions of any existing, future or special statute, the court shall appoint some reputable attorney as guardian ad litem to represent all infants and incapacitated persons interested in the organization or administration of such district. In case the interests of such infants or incapacitated persons shall appear to the court to be adverse to each other, then and in such case the court shall appoint as many different persons as guardians ad litem as the circumstances of the case may require. The persons so appointed shall appear for and represent their wards in all matters connected with the proceedings, and shall be paid such sum as the court may fix upon, out of the moneys in the funds of the districts, for their services.
