(Laws of Fla. ch. 7972 (1919), § 1)

Editor's note—

The above act references Lee County rather than Collier County because Collier County was not organized until 1923. See Laws of Fla. ch. 9362 (1923). The area incorporated into the district apparently embraces land that is now in Collier County. Laws of Fla. ch. 6458 (1913) (referenced in the above section) is not a special act; it is a general law that is now codified in F.S. ch. 298.
