This is a companion case to the case of J. M. Dickson et al. v. Navarro County Levee Improvement District No. 3, 139 S.W.2d 257, this day decided. The opinion of the Court of Civil Appeals is reported in 124 S.W.2d 946.

Civ.St. art. 8017, as the suit was abated by reason of such repeal, the judgments of the Court of Civil Appeals and of the district court are reversed, and the cause is dismissed.

Opinion adopted by the Supreme Court.
