of War, shall have power to enter into contracts with the
Government of the United States, and with any one or more
of such navigation districts interested in such common project,

such common project.

district shall be approved by resolution of the governing
bodies of such districts and shall be executed by the presiding
officer of such governing body, duly attested by the corporate
seal of the navigation district.
Sec. 3. It is the purpose and intent of this Act to confer
upon navigation districts incorporated under the laws of this

States, either by Act of Congress, or Act of the Secretary of
War, the fullest possible power of contract with regard to such
navigation project of common interest.
Sec. 4. The near approach of the end of the session and the
great importance of this Act to inhabitants of counties situated
on the Gulf of Mexico, creates an emergency and imperative
public necessity that the Constitutional Rule requiring bills to
be read on three several days be suspended, and this Act take
effect from and after its passage; and it is so ordered.
Approved August 12, 1931.
Effective August 12, 1931.
