and appoint therein a manager or managers of said election,

with the general election laws of this State; provided that when

tax, or the issuance of such bonds shall write or print on their
ballots, "For the Tax" or "For the Bond and the Tax," as the case
may be; and those against the levying of such tax or the issuance
of such bonds shall write or print on their ballots "Against the
Tax" or "Against the Bonds and the Tax," as the case may be,

allow, not to exceed four per centum of the whole amount of taxes
received by him, and he shall give bond, to be approved by said
board of trustees in double the estimated amount of taxes coming

discharge of his duties, and the payment of the amount of
taxes received by him to the treasurer of said Willow Wells Independent

prefer to have the taxes of their district assessed by the
county assessor and collector by the county collector, the same

over to the treasurer of this said district for which such taxes
have been collected; provided that the property of this district,
when assessed by the county tax assessor shall not be assessed
at a greater valuation than that assessed for county and State

taxes of this district, they shall respectively receive one per
centum for assessing and collecting the same.
