stitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction it shall not
affect the remaining section of this Act.
SEC. 7. If a petition signed by a majority of the qualified
resident voters of any territory of a common school district
adjacent to this district, shall be filed with the board of trustees
of said district, requesting that said territory be added to this
district, such territory shall become a part of this district, provided
a majority of the trustees of same shall approve same. If
any person who possesses real estate in a common school district,
which is adjacent to this district, shall petition said board
for admission to said district, they shall be received upon the
same terms and under the same conditions as in above paragraph.
This is without respect to the limitation of area. The
territory added shall bear its prorata part according to taxable
value of any school debt or debts that may be owed or contracted
for by said independent district to which it shall have been
added. The Megargel County Line Independent School District
shall be liable for that prorata part of bonded or other indebtedness
which may be owned by any district from which territory
is annexed. The fact that it is important to the school patrons
and children that it be definitely determined what land shall
compose this district, and in order that the affairs of the school
may be duly facilitated, creates an emergency and an imperative
public necessity that the constitutional rule requiring bills
to be read on three several days in each House be suspended,
and that this Act shall take effect and be in force from and after
its passage, and said rule is hereby suspended, and it is so
enacted.
[NOTE.-The enrolled bill shows that the foregoing Act passed
the House, 109 yeas, 0 nays; passed the Senate, 29 yeas, 0 nays.]
Approved March 19, 1925.
