all the rights, powers, privileges and duties conferred and imposed
by general Laws of Texas upon the trustees of independent
school districts incorporated 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 said Tell Independent
School District in all respects, and it is also expressly provided
that on some future date to be designated by the board of trusttees
of said Tell district, an election may be called for the purpose
of submitting to the qualified tax-paying voters of the district
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 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 necessary taxes may be annually levied for the payment of
the same.
SEC. 5. The crowded condition of the calendar and the inadequate

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.
