City Charter and of Chapter 106 of the Acts of the First Called Session of the
40th Legislature of the State of Texas, known and shown as Article 1105 —b of
Vernonts Annotated Civil Statutes of Texas; however, said City Secretary is further
directed in addition to the contents of the notice of said hearing as required by
law, which shall be for all purposes valid and 'sUfficient in itself,�to include
therein the list of the names of the,apparent owners, and the descriptions of
said abutting property as set out in said Director of Public Works* report, provided,
however, that the said list of apparent owners and property descriptions so
included in said Notice, shall merely be cumulative of and in addition to the require-

personal liability and charge against the real and true owners thereof. In levying
said assessments, if the name of the owner be unknown, it shall be sufficient to so
state the fact, and if said abutting property be owned by an estate or by any
firm or corporation, it shall be sufficient to so state the fact, and it shall not
be necessary to give the correct name of any such owner, and no error or mistake
in attempting to name any such owner or in describing any of said property shall
invalidate any assessment or certificate issued in evidence thereof, but nevertheless
_g:
k
the real and true owner of said abutting property shall be liable and the assess-
ment against said property shall be valid whether or not such owner be 'named'
or correctly named,for said property correctly described.
SECTION 6. The fact that Booty Street, within the limits above
defined, is badly in need at this time of permanent street improvements, and
the further fact that the present condition of said portion of said street is
dangerous to the health and public welfare of the inhabitants of the City of
Corpus Christi, due to the conditions and increase of traffic along said
portion of said street creates a public emergency and public imperative necessity
requiring the suspensions of the Charter rule that no ordinance or resolution
shall be passed finally on the date it is introduced and that such ordinance or
resolution shall be read at three several meetings of the City Council; and the
Mayor having declared that such public emergency and imperative necessity exist,
and having requested that such Charter rule be suspended, and that this ordinance
be passed finally on the date of its introduction and take effect and be in
full force and effect from and after its passage, IT IS ACCORDINGLY SO ORDAINED.
