the county judge of Tyler County, who shall serve as trustees
of the said district until the time for the next succeeding election
of trustees of common school districts as is provided by
General Law; at which time three trustees, who shall be resident
citizens and qualified voters within said district, shall be
elected and serve in accordance with the provisions of this Act
and the General School Laws of the State.
SEC. 3. The said common school district, as created by this
Act, shall have and exercise and is hereby vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of common school districts
incorporated under the General Laws of this State, and the
board of trustees of the said district shall have and exercise
all the rights, powers, privileges and duties conferred and imposed
by the General Laws of Texas upon the trustees of the
common school districts incorporate under the General Laws
of the State.
SEC. 4. It is hereby expressly provided that all current contracts
for the maintenance of the schools of the territory herein
incorporated are hereby validated for the current scholastic
year in all respects.
It is hereby expressly provided that on some future date, an
election may be called for the purpose of submitting to the qualified
tax-paying voters of the districts the question as to the assumption
by the said district of any outstanding bonded indebtedness
of the territory hereby incorporated and the levy of a tax
to pay off said indebtedness in the manner provided by General
Law for such districts, the said election to be called and held
as provided by General Law for bond elections in Common
school districts. If at such an election a majority of the votes
cast favor the assumption and payment of such outstanding indebtedness,
then such indebtedness shall become the valid and

taxes may be annually levied for the payment of the same.
SEC. 5. All laws and parts of laws, general and special, in
direct conflict herewith are hereby repealed.

rule requiring bills to be read on three several days be suspended,
and the same is hereby suspended, and this Act shall
take effect and be in force from and after its passage and it is so
enacted.
