  (b)  It  is  hereby  further found and determined that:  (1) each such
bond resolution  was  adopted  taking  effect  immediately  and  thereby
requiring  repayment  over  five  years from the date of the first obli-
gation issued therefor; (2) various violations of the local finance  law
occurred  with  the  bond  resolutions and issuance of notes pursuant to
such bond resolutions in that the bond resolutions indicated a period of
probable usefulness in excess of five years but no permissive referendum
process was followed and principal payments made  did  not  satisfy  the
requirements  for  amortizing  the obligations over five years since the
bond resolutions, to take effect without  permissive  referendum,  would
have  to  so limit the financing timeframe; and (3) in certain instances
bond anticipation renewal notes were issued after the fifth  year  anni-
versary of the first bond anticipation note issued therefor.
  S 2. Notwithstanding the defects described in section one of this act,
the  bond  anticipation  notes issued by the village pursuant to each of
the bond resolutions identified in section one  of  this  act,  and  all
resolutions, acts and proceedings adopted or taken by the board of trus-
tees  and the village treasurer of such village in relation thereto, are
hereby validated, ratified and confirmed. The village is hereby  author-
ized  to  issue  bonds  or  bond  anticipation renewal notes to continue
financing the objects and purposes authorized pursuant to the  aforesaid
bond  resolutions  over the period of probable usefulness thereof as set
forth in section 11.00 of the local finance law.
  S 3. Except as otherwise provided in this act, any obligations  issued
pursuant  to  this act shall be issued in accordance with the provisions
of the local finance law.
  S 4. If any clause, sentence, subdivision, paragraph, section or  part
of  this  act  be  adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, such judgment  shall  not  affect,  impair  or  invalidate  the
remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause,
sentence,  subdivision,  paragraph,  section  or  part  thereof directly
involved in the controversy in  which  such  judgment  shall  have  been
rendered.
  S 5. This act shall take effect immediately.
