                                  AN ACT

     Making valid elections heretofore held in any certified township
        of this Commonwealth, for the election of trustees for the
        proprietors of the public lands thereof.

        Section 1.  Be it enacted, &c., That in any case in which the

     subdivisions of such certified township, including any borough
     or boroughs that have been erected within the original
     boundaries, of this Commonwealth, being the owners of land
     within the same, are authorized by law to meet at the place of
     holding elections in such township and elect trustees for the
     proprietors of public lands therein, and, being so authorized,
     have heretofore met at a place for holding general elections in
     such township and have elected trustees for the proprietors of
     public lands therein, such election shall be and is hereby
     declared to be valid; and the trustees so elected are declared
     to be the legal trustees for the proprietors, of such certified
     township, notwithstanding the fact that such township has been
     divided, or that a borough or boroughs have been erected within
     the original boundaries thereof, or that the number of places
     for holding general elections therein has been increased since
     the enactment of the law authorizing the election of such
     trustees: Provided, That such election or elections, hereby
     validated, shall have been held at a place of holding general
     elections located within the original boundaries of such
     certified township, and that notice of the holding thereof shall
     have been given in substantial compliance with the law
     authorizing such elections.
