In all incorporated cities and towns having a population of two
hundred and ninety thousand (290,000) or more, according to the
preceding Federal Census, the governing body of such city or town is
hereby authorized to formulate and devise a pension plan for the

Before said pension plan as devised and formulated by the governing
body of such city or town shall become effective, said entire
pension plan shall be submitted in ordinance form by said governing
body to the qualified electors of such city or town and be approved
by said qualified electors at an election duly held. Said ordinance
containing said pension plan when submitted to the qualified
electors for approval, shall be so worded as to authorize the
governing body of such city or town to either appropriate yearly out
of the general revenue of such city or town a sufficient sum to
carry out said pension plan, or to levy yearly a general ad valorem
tax sufficient to provide for said pension plan, said sum to be
appropriated yearly or to be raised by taxation, to be in addition
to whatever sum, if any, to be contributed by the employees of such
city or town to the pension fund of said pension plan.
Sec. 2. Any pension plan devised or formulated by any such
city or town which provides that all employees participating
therein shall contribute a portion of their weekly, monthly or
yearly salary, shall not be compulsory for the employees of such
city or town, but shall apply only to those employees of such city
or town who signify their willingness in writing to participate
therein, and to have deducted from their weekly, monthly or yearly
salaries, the sum as specified in said pension plan.
Sec. 3. This Act shall not repeal Articles 6229 to 6243, both
numbers inclusive, of the Revised Civil Statutes of Texas, 1925, as
amended by Acts of 1933, Forty-third Legislature, page 206, Chapter
