provide for the housing of the children within said
district, and the further fact that the said Brenham Independent
School District, heretofore created and now existing, is now,

from the territory within the above limits at a great financial
loss to the tax payers of the said district as now existing,

Act take effect and be enforced from and after its passage, and
it is so enacted.
