heretofore voted by the qualified voters of said Ropes Independent
School District No. 6, in Hockley County, Texas, and now
in force therein, are hereby validated and contained in the Independent

majority of the qualified property tax paying voters of said
district shall see proper to increase, diminish, or abolish the
same, as provided under the General Statutes of this State.
SEC. 16. The title to all property of every kind and wherever
situated now owned and vested in said Ropes Independent
School District No. 1, Hockley County, Texas, that is within the
territory, or the metes and bounds, of the said Clauene Independent

shall not impair any of the remaining sections or provisions
of this Act.
SEC. 21. The fact that the educational facilities of the territory
comprising the Clauene Independent School District are insufficient

maintain the schools, creates an emergency and an imperative
public necessity, and the Constitutional Rule requiring bills to
be read on three several days in each House be suspended, and
also creates an emergency requiring that this Act shall take
effect and be in full force from and after its passage, and it is
so enacted.
