contests shall be in writing and filed with said Commission.
When all parties have been heard the Commission shall close
the hearing and find the damages due owners, lienholders, or
others interested, for property taken or damaged, and shall in
their findings apportion between them the amounts payable to
each, and shall date and sign a report in writing, in duplicate,
one of which reports shall be filed with the clerk, secretary or
recording officer of the city, and one with the Clerk of the Court
by whose Judge the Commission was appointed.
All proceedings of the governing body with reference to such
condemnation, as well as all notices issued in connection therewith,
returns thereof, orders, reports, and other proceedings of
the Commission, and certified copies of all orders or proceedings
of any Judge or Court with reference thereto, may be
recorded in the Minutes of said governing body, and said record,
or certified copies, thereof, and the original shall be prima facie
evidence of the truth of all facts therein recited.
"(d) Any party affected by the decision of said Commission
who shall be dissatisfied therewith, shall, within ten days after
the filing of said report with said Judge, file in his Court in
opposition thereto, setting forth in writing the particular cause
or causes of objection, and thereupon the adverse party or
parties shall be cited and said cause shall be tried and decided
as other civil causes in said Court. If no objections are filed
with said Judge within said time, he shall cause the said report
to be entered in the Minutes of his Court and make the same
the judgment thereof, and may issue the necessary process to

upon the parties, their heirs, successors and assigns, and shall
not thereafter be questioned in any proceeding.

compensation not exceeding Ten ($10.00) Dollars for every day
employed by them in the performance of their duties."

force and effect for the purpose of carrying out and completing
any and all proceedings heretofore commenced or initiated
thereunder.
SEC. 3. The fact that the Revised Civil Statutes of the State
of Texas of 1925 undertook to condense all of Sections 6, 7, 8,
9 and 10 of Chapter 4 of the Acts of the Regular Session of the
38th Legislature into one short article embracing only about
five lines, thereby rendering the construction and meaning ambiguous
and uncertain, and the fact that many cities are now
anxious to immediately proceed in accordance with the provisions
of the said Act of the 38th Legislature, but are uncertain
as to the method and manner of proceeding occasioned by the
ambiguities and uncertainties in said Article, and are, therefore,
anxious to obtain the benefits of this Act, create an emergency
