SPECIAL LAWS. 1689
to be raised in said road district and constituted the basis of
such taxation, and the assessment and levy of such taxes is hereby
legalized and said taxes in an amount sufficient to pay the
principal of and interest upon said bonds, now outstanding, shall
be annually levied and assessed by the county commissioners'
court of said county upon the value of taxable property in said
road district as fixed for State and county taxes, and the power
to levy such annual general ad valorem taxes is hereby expressly
delegated to said commissioners' court.
SEC. 6. That said orders, and all other orders adopted by
said county commissioners court in respect of said road district,
bonds and taxes, as the same appears upon the records
of said court, or copies thereof duly certified, are hereby
constituted legal evidence of such orders, and shall be
authority for said court to annually levy, assess and collect taxes
in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest
upon said bonds as the same mature and become due, such taxes
to be levied and assessed upon the value of taxable property in
said road district as fixed for State and county taxes, and that
any and all acts and proceedings had and taken by said court in
the construction of roads and turnpikes from the proceeds of
said bonds are hereby validated, approved and legalized.
SEC. 7. That the Legislature hereby exercises the authority
upon it conferred by Section 52, of Article 3, of the Texas Constitution,
and declares said defined district as a road district, as
above described, to have been legal and valid from the date of
the adoption of said order, defining its boundaries, and confirms
and ratifies said acts and proceedings of said court in
respect of said election, authorizing the issuance and sale of
said bonds, the levy of taxes to pay principal thereof and interest
thereon and the construction of roads and turnpikes with
the proceeds thereof with like effect as though at the time or
times said acts and proceedings were done or had, there existed
statutory authority for the doing thereof.
SEC. 8. Proof of publication of the constitutional notice required
in the enactment of Local and Special Laws has been
made in the manner and form provided by law.
SEC. 9. The public importance of the purposes herein contemplated
creates an emergency and an imperative public necessity
requiring the suspension of the constitutional rule requiring
bills to be read upon three several days in each House, and
the said rule is hereby suspended, and that this Act take effect
and be in force from and after its passage, and it is so enacted.
Approved October 18, 1926.
[NOTE.-The above and foregoing bill was approved by the Governor
on October 18, 1926, but it is shown that it was not signed by the President
of the Senate or the Speaker of the House, or was it certified by the
Secretary of the Senate or Chief Clerk of the House, and it is very doubtful,
in view of the constitutional provisions requiring all bills to be signed
by the presiding officers of each House in the presence of the House,
that this law is of any force and effect, but it is printed with the balance
of the laws, it having been filed as a part of the laws passed by the Legislature.]
