of the law as II had before then been
declared by the courts, and / think
It Is not to be presumed that the
legislature. and the people, while
permitting the formation of improve
ment districts. to include incorporat-
ed towns and cities, intended to dis
criminate against such municipalities
as might be included within created
districts, by depriving them, who'll
ly Of the benefits of the proceeds of
the special taxes imposed upon prop
erty within their limits, and by ex-
pending the funds raised by such
taxes, entirely in other portions OF
the district On the contrary, giving
effect to all the law upon the ques-
ton, and superior effect to the con-
stitutional provision and the legisla-
ton directly under, and authorized
by 1t. in my opinion, such streets of
an incorporated town or city which is
a part of defined road improvement
district, as may, properly form
portion of the road system OF the
particular road improvement dis
trict, may, and should, be improved
from the special road improvement
funds of the district to the same ex-
tent as roads in other portions Of the
district
The only question which, / think,
could properly arise would be wheth-
er the consent of the town, or city,
Iauthorities to the scheme of improve
ment proposed by the commissioners
court would be necessary and this |
lconsider unimportant because there
is, in my opinion, no reasonable prob
ability of any serious disagreement
between county and city authorities
upon such question.
Giving further effect, as nearly as
practicable, to all the relevant pro-
visions of law, | do not think that
Ieven the constitutional provision
land the legislation Under it, would
authorize commissioners court
from special road improvement
funds, to engage in any system OF
general street improvement in a city
or town which might be part of a
special road improvement district
but its powers and rights would, in
my opinion, be confined to such
Istreets and public places as might
lproperly form a portion of the road
system of the specially defined dis
trict. &. Z. GROCE.

MAY ENPENO FUNOS IN THE CITY
Those Streets Forming a Portion OF
Road System May Be Improved.

The question having arisen as to
whether or not Incorporated towns
may be included in special road dis
tricts the commissioners court OF
Ellis county asked Mr.. G. c. Groce
to investigate the matter and furnish
them with an opinion concerning
same Mr.. Groce complied with this
request and the opinion written by
him and submitted to the court is
as follows
To the Honorable Commissioners
Court of Ellis County, Texas:
At your request | have investigat-
ed whether if defined districts in
this county vote bonds for road I'M
provement you would be authorized
to expend funds arising from such
bond issue in improving highways
within the limits of Incorporated cit
les and towns included in such dis
tricts
All incorporated cities and towns
in this county are incorporated under
our general municipal incorporation
law, which, in terms, gives them eX-
elusive jurisdiction over the streets,
alleys and public places within their
limits,
Other general statutes give to the
commissioners courts of the several
counties jurisdiction over the public
roads and highways within the coun-
ties, but under the rule of construc-
ton that a special provision is SUI
perior to general one, it has been
held that a commissioners court has
no Jurisdiction to establish, or to re-
quire citizens to work upon public
road within the corporate limits of a
city or town which has an acting mu-
nicipal government.
With the law, and the decisions in
the condition above indicated, the
legislature, in 1908, submitted to the
people an amendment to the consti-
tuition which, among other things,
expressly authorized any defined dis
trict within a county, which might
or might not include towns, villages
or municipal corporations, upon the
vote of two-thirds majority of the
resident taX-paying voters of the
district, to issue bonds, or otherwise
lend its credit for the construction,
maintenance and operation of ma
cadamized, graveled or paved roads
and turnpikes, or in aid thereof
which amendment was adopted by
the people, and duly became a part
of the constitution.
1t is a rule of construction that al
the law upon given subject is to b'
considered in arriving at the legisla
tive intent, and effect must be given
as nearly as possible, to every pro
vision of law bearing upon the par
ticular question:; special provisions
are to be held superior to genera
ones. and a constitutional provision
and legislation specially authorized
by it are superior to contrary gener-
al legislative enactments.
1t is to be presumed that the leg
tslature in submitting the constitu
tional amendment of 1908 and the
people in adopting it, were mindful
