26 GENERAL AND SPECIAL LAWS.
Act. It is the intention of this Act to make two (2) several,
separate, and distinct appropriations of funds from the County
and Road District Highway Fund, each of which will be entirely
independent of the other. First, an appropriation, as hereinbefore
made, to pay the principal, interest, and sinking fund
on all eligible obligations maturing on and from January 1st,
1933, to September 1st, 1933, the end of the current statutory
fiscal year. Second, an appropriation, as hereinbefore made, to
pay the principal, interest and sinking fund on all eligible obligations
maturing on and from September 1st, 1933, to December
31st, 1933, inclusive. No part of said County and Road District
Highway Fund shall be used after December 31st, 1933, unless
the Legislature shall hereafter make a specific appropriation in
accordance with the provisions of Section 6, Article 8 of the
Constitution, it being the legislative intent to confine the appropriation
for use within the Constitutional limit of two (2) years.
If either one of the two appropriations herein made should be
held to be invalid, nevertheless the other appropriation will be
administered as herein provided.
SEC. 9. If succeeding Legislatures shall carry out the policy
herein defined by authorizing a similar appropriation of County
and Road District Highway Funds, from time to time, then whenever
the interest and principal necessary to retire the outstanding
bond indebtedness owing for designated State Highways shall
have been fully paid as herein provided, for any county or defined
road district according to the provisions of this Act, then
and in that event, the title and possession of all roads, roadbeds,
bridges and culverts, in such county or defined road district
which are included in the system of designated State Highways,
shall automatically vest in fee simple in the State of Texas, and
in the event of any subsequent physical change therein, such
title and possession shall extend to any such change so made;
provided that when the right of way, or any part thereof, has
been abandoned because of the abandonment of such road for
all public road purposes, and such right of way, or any part
thereof, was donated by the owner of the land for right of way
purposes, then and in that event the fee simple title shall vest
in said owner, his heirs or assigns; provided, however, that
nothing in this Act shall prevent the State Highway Commission
from changing or abandoning any State Highway or part
thereof; but, in the event the State Highway Commission shall
change or abandon any State Highway in any county, the Commissioners
Court of such county shall have the right to assume
jurisdiction over such portion of such highway so abandoned
by the State Highway Commission.
SEC. 10. If any provision, part, section, sub-section, sentence,
clause, phrase or paragraph of this Act be declared invalid or
unconstitutional, the same shall not affect any other portion or
provision hereof, and all other provisions shall remain valid
and unaffected by any invalid provision, if any.
