belief a bona fide resident, a qualified voter within the District,
and a tax-payer therein." Petitions which are identical in all
respects, save as to the names subscribed thereto, shall be considered
as one petition: Such petitions may be filed at any time
up to a day not less than twenty (20) days prior to the day set
for the election to be held hereunder.
In canvassing the returns of the election hereunder, the vote
in the District as a whole (without regard to the boundaries of
any other political corporate creature of the State) shall be
totaled for and against the proposition submitted, and if the
voters approving the creation of the District exceed in number
the contrary votes, this District immediately shall be entitled to
exercise the powers by this Act conferred. The nine (9) persons
who in numerical order receive more votes than are received
by other persons proposed for directors (to the end that
there will be nine (9) directors so chosen, all to be residents of
the District) shall be declared to have been elected and said
directors shall serve for two (2) years from the date of their
election, or until their successors shall have been elected and
qualified. The succeeding elections of directors, during the preliminary
period of this District shall be at intervals of two (2)
years in such manner that a new Board may be qualified to serve
by the expiration of the term of the prior Board. The election

period the entire Board of Directors shall be elected. and such
elections shall conform to the time herein provided. Further,

the preliminary period fixed in this Act shall terminate with the

preliminary period, the election of directors, insofar as applicable,
shall conform to the provisions of said Chapter 25. If at
such election a majority of the electors voting therein vote "For
Dissolution of the District", it shall be so.

6 hereof shall deposit with the County Clerk of Bexar
County Two Thousand ($2,000.00) Dollars which shall be paid
out by said clerk if the District be dissolved upon vouchers approved
by a majority of the said pre-election directors for the
expenses incident to the election, any money not so paid out to
be returnable to the said Directors."
