COMMISSIONERS COURTS
the issuance of refunding bonds by counties and without the necessity of
an election or of any notice or of any right to referendum vote. The pro-
visions of Section 1 hereof relating to maturities of original bonds and
their execution shall apply to refunding bonds issued hereunder.
Sec. 3. Any and all bonds heretofore authorized for the purposes men-
tioned in Section 1 hereof by a majority of the duly qualified resident elec-
tors of the county who owned taxable property within such county and
who had duly rendered the same for taxation, voting at an election called
and held for such purpose, and the election proceedings relating to such
bonds, are hereby in all things validated; and the Commissioners Court
may issue any such bonds in the manner herein provided. It is expressly
provided, however, that the validation provisions of this Section 3 shall
not apply to litigation pending upon the effective date of this Act.
Sec. 4.. If any word, phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or
other part of this Act or the application thereof shall be held by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional to any person
or circumstance, the remainder of the Act and the application of such word,
phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or part to other provisions
or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.
Sec. 5. The fact that the provisions of this Act are urgently needed
by those counties covered hereby and that this Act will provide an efficient
method of financing the acquisition, construction and equipment of county
workhouses and county farms, as set forth in this Act, by such counties,
which method is immediately for the public benefit, creates an emergency

Rule is hereby suspended; and that this Act shall take effect and be in
force from and after its passage, and it is so enacted.
