Any cemetery district organized under the provisions of K.S.A. 17-1330,
17-1330a, 17-1331 to 17-1334
and 17-1335, and acts amendatory thereof, and adjacent or

Whenever a petition describing the territory of the district
requesting disorganization and annexation, and signed by not less than
fifty-one percent (51%) of the qualified electors of the district, as
determined by an enumeration taken and verified for this purpose by some
qualified elector of the district requesting annexation, is presented to
the board of county commissioners of the county in which the cemetery
districts lie, it shall be the duty of the board of county commissioners
at its next regular meeting to examine the petition, and if it finds
that the two districts are adjacent, that the petition is signed by the
requisite number of qualified electors, and that the district directors
of the district to which it is proposed to annex the petitioning
district have approved such annexation, the board shall enter an order
in its proceedings disorganizing the petitioning district and annexing
such district to the adjacent or contiguous district.
