Districts consolidated prior to 1903, continued. Wherever prior to October nineteenth, one thousand nine hundred and three, any township, incorporated town or borough school district had been consolidated with an adjoining township, incorporated town, or borough school district, by an election of the legal voters of the township, incorporated town, or borough school district, so that on that date the same formed one combined or consolidated school district, and the legal voters of such district have not, since that time, rejected a proposition to confirm or continue the consolidation at an election called for that purpose, and the district has been, since that date, maintained and governed as one consolidated school district, such district shall continue to exist as a consolidated school district in the same manner as though the consolidated school district had been established by an election of the legal voters of the district held pursuant to section 18:5-14 of this title.
