or to determine the manner in which taxes or assessments shall
be levied and collected, or to bring any district organized hereunder,
under the provisions of Section 59 of Article XVI of the Constitution
of Texas, or to authorize the issuance of bonds of any District

XVI of the Constitution, shall be and are hereby in all respects
ratified, validated, approved and confirmed, and such bonds may

SEC. 2. The fact that there are water improvement districts now
organized in this State urgently in need of funds to construct and
complete works necessary for the public benefit and the promotion
of agricultural interest, and that remedial legislation is necessary
therefor, constitute an imperative public necessity requiring the suspension
of the constitutional rule requiring bills to be read three
several days, and said rule is hereby suspended and this Act shall
take effect and be in force from and after its passage, and it is so
enacted.
