SEC. 2. When a petition signed by a majority of the resident
qualified voters of any territory of a common school district adjacent
to this school district shall be filed with the president of
the school board of this district, requesting the said territory be
added to this district, such territory shall become a part of this
district provided a majority of the board of trustees approve
same.
If any person or persons who possess real estate in a common
school district which is adjacent to this district shall petition the
board of trustees for admission to this district, it shall be received
into the district upon the same terms and under the same
conditions as in the above paragraph.
SEC. 3. The added territory shall bear its pro rata part according
to taxable value of any school debt or debts that may be
owned or contracted for by said independent district to which it
shall have been annexed. The Westover Independent School District
shall assume that pro rata part of such indebtedness as may
be against any territory annexed out of the common school district.
SEC. 4. If any part of this bill is declared invalid it shall not
affect the remaining parts.
SEC. 5. The fact that it is important to the school patrons and
children of this district that the changes set out in this bill be
made at once in order that the best interests of said district may
be protected, creates an emergency and an imperative public necessity
that the constitutional rule requiring all bills to be read on
three several days in each House be suspended, and that this Act
take effect and be in force from and after its passage, and said
rule is hereby suspended, and it is so amended.

the House, yeas 102, nays 2; passed the Senate, yeas 27, nays 0.]
