J. MILLARD TAWES, Governor                         381

at least ten (10) days prior to the time so fixed, cause a notice of
such hearing to be published by one insertion in a newspaper of
general circulation published within the County. Copies of the notice
shall also be posted at least ten (10) days prior to the date fixed for
hearing in at least three (3) conspicuous places within that portion
of the district sought to be withdrawn and in at least three (3)
conspicuous places within the remaining portion of the district.

34-II.

Any person interested may appear at the hearing and object to the
withdrawal of said portion from the district or may object to the
continuance of the remaining territory as a district. The Commis-
sioners shall consider and pass upon all objections and if they find
that the portion of the district sought to be withdrawn will not be
benefited by remaining within the district and that the remaining
territory not sought to be withdrawn will be benefited by continuing
as a maintenance district, then they shall by ordinance order such
withdrawal and the continuance of the remaining territory as a
district.

34JJ.

Any district may be dissolved by the Commissioners. The Com-
missioners upon their own motion may adopt a resolution declaring
their intention to dissolve the district and may fix a time for a hear-
ing upon such dissolution. The time for such hearing shall be not
less than ten (10) nor more than thirty (30) days after the date of
adoption of such resolution, and the Administrative Assistant shall,
at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time so fixed, publish notice
of such hearing by one (1) insertion in the newspaper of general
circulation published within the County and cause printed copies
of such notice to be posted in at least three (3) conspicuous places
within the district.

34KK.

At the time appointed for such hearing, or at any time to which it
is adjourned, the Commissioners shall hear and pass upon the
question of dissolution and all objections and protests and may grant
or deny the same. Their decision thereon shall be final and conclusive.
If the Commissioners determine that the district shall be dissolved,
they shall, by ordinance, order the dissolution of the district and the
district shall thereupon be dissolved. The maintenance of the open
areas of such district may be continued thereafter until the funds
collected for the purpose of such maintenance have been expended for
that purpose or such funds may be returned in cash to the person
or persons who paid the next preceding annual assessment in the
proportion which each such assessment bears to the total assessment
levied that year.

34LL.

This subheading shall be liberally construed in order to effectuate
its purposes. If any provision hereof, or the application thereof to
any person, property or circumstances, is held invalid the remainder
of this ordinance, or the application of such provision to other
persons, property or circumstances, shall not be affected thereby.
