within the defined boundaries is administratively practicable and feasible
unless at least a majority of the votes cast in the referendum upon the
proposition of creation of the district shall have been cast in favor of the
creation of such district.

F. If the committee shall determine that the operation of the proposed
district within the defined boundaries is administratively practicable and
feasible, it shall appoint two (2) supervisors to act, with the three (3)
supervisors elected as provided hereinafter, as the governing body of the
district. Such district shall be a governmental sub-division of this State
and a public body corporate and politic, upon the taking of the following
proceedings:

The two appointed supervisors shall present to the secretary of state an
application signed by them, which shall set forth (and such application
need contain no detail other than the mere recitals); (1) that a petition
for the creation of the district was filed with the State soil conservation
committee pursuant to the provisions of this sub-title, and that the pro-
ceedings specified in this sub-title were taken pursuant to such petition;
that the application is being filed in order to complete the organization of
the district as a governmental subdivision and a public body, corporate and
politic, under this sub-title; and that the committee has appointed them as
supervisors; (2) the name and official residence of each of the supervisors,
together with a certified copy of the appointments evidencing their right to
office; (3) the term of office of each of the supervisors; (4) the name which
is proposed for the district; and (5) the location of the principal office of the
supervisors of the district. The application shall be subscribed and sworn
to by each of the said supervisors before an officer authorized by the laws
of this State to take and certify oaths, who shall certify upon the applica-
tion that he personally knows the supervisors and knows them to be the
officers as affirmed in the application, and that each has subscribed thereto
in the officer's presence. The application shall be accompanied by a state-
ment by the State soil conservation committee, which shall certify (and
such statement need contain no detail other than the mere recitals) that
a petition was filed, notice issued, and hearing held as aforesaid; that the
committee did duly determine that there is need, in the interest of the
public health, safety and welfare, for a soil conservation district to func-
tion in the proposed territory and did define the boundaries thereof; that
notice was given and a referendum held on the question of the creation
of such district, and that the result of such referendum showed a ma-
jority of the votes cast in such referendum to be in favor of the creation
of the districts; that thereafter the committee did duly determine that the
operation of the proposed district is administratively practicable and feas-
ible. The said statement shall set forth the boundaries of the district as
they have been defined by the committee.

The secretary of state shall examine the application and statement and
shall receive and file them and shall record them in an appropriate book
of record in his office. When the application and statement have been made,
filed, and recorded, as herein provided, the district shall constitute a gov-
ernmental sub-division of this State and a public body corporate and
politic. The secretary of state shall make and issue to the said super-
visors a certificate, under the seal of the State, of the due organization of
the said district, and shall record such certificate with the application and
statement. The boundaries of such district shall include the territory as
determined by the State soil conservation committee as aforesaid, but in
