Compiler's notes. — This article, which was identical with Article 7 of Chapter 22 of the 1915 Code, was not reenacted by its inclusion in that codification, but was compiled for convenience only.
The 1997 amendment, effective June 20, 1997, added the section heading, substituted "five trustees" for "three trustees" and "elected biennially" for "elected annually", and made minor stylistic changes.
