Hon. W.H. Turner, Gounty Attorney, Page 8

_ En view of the holding of the Supreme Court

in the wan ne of HARRIS GOUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT
140 S.W. (24) 1096, it is our opinion that
the Meindine g embodied in Section 5 are conclusive.
Up to tne f pregent time no grant of eid toa county or
eountics hasbeen sustained by the courte. This grant
will operate to transfer sums of money out ofthe stete
ad valores tax fund into the county road and bridge
fund, doze thing which ordinarily would be prohibited
by artiele 8 eetion 9, of the State Constitution.
CARROLL ¥. WILL TAME » BOR 3.W. 504, However, in ARAN~
SAS Pass Ve KEELING, 247 5.4%. 618, the Sup Supren Court
held that « seawall grent under article 11, Section 5,
af the Gonstisusion, was nob subject te Article 8,
Section 6, of the Stete Gonstiverton, and it was alse
held by the Supreue Ccurt in BRAZOS RIVER, eto. DIS~
TRIGT +. MoORAW 91 Se. (£4) 665, that a evant nade
under the calanity oleuse of Article %, Section 51,
of the Gonstitution, was not subject to suoh apprepri-
ation Provision « We alse think thet the courts rould
hold that. a grant unier authority of the calanity clause
or Article &, Seotion 51, of the Constitubteur, would
be sub: oot to the restriétions ageing y Siz

ter He os from the: state ad valorem und to a
‘gounty fund, whieh otherwise might ‘be implied from Are
ticle G, Ssoticn 9.

It ie our opinion thet the Act in question is
consti tationel and valid.

Years very truly
