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.
