Map" referred to therein be changed and amended, as follows :
( a) All districts in the City of Wichita Falls, Wichita
County, Texas, other than those hereinafter specified, now
designated as "District All or "First Dwelling House Districts"
be, and are hereby, changed from "District A" or "First Dwelling
House District" to "District B11 or "Second Dwelling House District".
Districts which remain in "District A" or "First Dwelling House

of Floral Heights Addition lying South of Tenth Street, North of

lot, or lots which are restricted as such by agreements, trust
agreements, reservations, restrictions, covenants, or conditions
contained in the deeds, dedications, restrictions, or otherwise
in the title to said property; it being the intention of the
Board of Aldermen, that nothing contained in this ordinance shall
be construed as nullifying, changing, altering, or affecting any
provision of any deed, plat, dedication, or contract in any
district, addition, subdivision, tract, lot, or lots within
this City in force and effect at the effective date hereof, or
hereafter provided by the owners of such property.
SECTION 2 : The City Secretary of the City of Wichita

said "Zoning District Map" so as to conform to the terms of
this amendment and the changes and redistricting contained
herein only, otherwise said Ordinance No. 1452 to remain in
full force and effect.

Charter, Ordinances or State Law, are hereby authorized, ratified,
confirmed, and approved.
SECTIOiv 6 : The fact that this ordinance regulates the
kind and character of buildings and the location thereof, that
there is a great shortage of houses and housing facilities in
this City, aggravated by the reopening of Sheppard Field and
the rapid expansion of the City, and that the delay in passing
said ordinance may jeopardize the rights of property owners within
the City and the opportunity for creating proper housing facilities
within the City creates an emergency and an imperative public
necessity, and this ordinance is hereby declared an emergency
measure on the grounds of urgent public need for the preservation
of property rights, peace, health and safety of the citizen-
ship, and the rule requiring the reading of ordinances on three
several days is hereby suspended and this ordinance shall take
effect from and after its passage and proval.
