the right and power to levy taxes and issue bonds of said
district and provide for transportation of children, to the extent,
for the purposes and subject to the provisions, limitations

embraced within the said Rotan Independent School District
are inadeqaute to meet the demand and public free school

bills to be read on three several days be suspended, and the said
rule is so suspended, and that this Act take effect and be in
force from and after its passage, and it is so enacted.
