ducting of any proceedings in or out of court, and to be the legal adviser
of the navigation and canal commissioners on such terms and for such
fees as may be agreed upon by them, and such commissioners shall have
the authority to draw warrant or warrants in payment of such legal
services and for.the salary of the engineer, his assistant or any other
employees and for all expense incident and pertaining to the navigation
district.
SEC. 40. Neither the county judge nor any county commissioner,
nor member of the navigation board, nor the navigation and canal commissioners
or engineer shall be directly or indirectly interested for themselves
or as agents for anyone else in the contract for the construction of
any work to be performed by such navigation district, and if said officers
or either of them shall, directly or indirectly, become interested in any
contract for such work, or in any fee paid by such navigation district
whereby he or others shall receive any money consideration or other thing
of value, except in payment of services as in this Act provided, he shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be punished
by imprisonment in the county jail for not less than six months nor
more than one year.
SEC. 41. All navigation districts established under this Act may, by
and through the navigation and canal commissioners, sue and be sued in
all courts of this State in the name of such navigation district, and all
courts of this State shall take judicial notice of the establishment of all
such districts.
SEC. 43. All laws and parts of laws in conflict herewith are hereby
repealed.
SEC. 44. The fact that many counties and districts of Texas are
anxious to organize navigation districts for the improvement of rivers,
creeks, bays, and streams, and the construction and maintenance of
canals and waterways and there is now no law under which such districts
can be properly formed, constitutes an emergency and an imperative
public necessity that the Constitutional rule requiring bills to be read
on three several day be suspended, and also that this Act take effect from
and after its passage, and it is so enacted.
Approved February 20, 1909.
Takes effect ninety days after adjournment.
