Tho Colleweort Rural igh School District, al-
though attally aoataina more than one handred square ailes of
territory, was not former upon a vote of a majority or the
agifie voters of that district as required by Aktiole 298 .*
this 4 eoft nA the formation thereof was poured by a
valdlatag at passed by the Lesgilature in 195 and modified
in Tenoa s Ano-atated Civil Statutes as Artleo 8158-3. It
is our opinion that this validating st validates the College
port Rral High School Di trio as a distrot including more
than one handed square miles of territory.
Since Article S994a, supra, weas anaoted soIW five
years subsequent to Article 298e, supra, it follows that
as to any eonalists therein, the provisions of Article
24a, supra will eontrl. Further, we wish to poimt
out that SectIon 4 of Article S774a, supra, was enacted by
the Legislature before the Collegeport Rural High school
District was ormeG.
