same territory.

In case any district or districts are being organized within or

partly within and partly without, the same territory in which some

other district or districts have been or are being organized, then

one district judge of each judicial district in which said

conservancy districts have been or are being organized shall confer

at the earliest convenient moment after they ascertain the

possibility of a conflict in jurisdiction, the sitting to be had in

the county having the largest assessed valuation in the proposed

district or districts.

At such conference the several judges shall determine to what

extent the several districts should be consolidated or to what

extent the boundaries should be adjusted in order to most fully

carry out the purposes of this act, and they shall by suitable

orders make such determination effective. In the event notices have

been issued or jurisdiction acquired in any proceedings concerning

territory which is transferred to the district court of another

county, such notice shall not become void and jurisdiction so

acquired shall not be lost, but in each case the court acquiring

jurisdiction over such transferred territory shall hold the same

without further notice, as if originally embraced in said district.

At such conferences the decision of the majority of the judges

shall be necessary for the determination of any matter, and from

such decision or from a failure to decide, appeal may be taken.

The provisions of this and the preceding section shall not

operate to delay or to interrupt any proceedings under this act

until the question of jurisdiction has been fully determined by the

court or courts.
