day set for the election, provided, that if no newspaper is published
in such City or Town, notice of said election shall be given
by posting notice thereof in each of the voting precincts of such
City or Town and one at the City Hall. The notice of election
shall state the date upon which the same shall be held, and shall
state the proposition to be voted upon in such form as the governing
body shall prescribe, but the notice need not set out the
contract at length, or detail its provisions. For ten days next,
preceding the election the proposed contract shall be on file in
the office of the City Secretary and may be examined by any
person. The governing body of the City shall prescribe the form
of the ballots.
SEC. 4. Except as otherwise provided in this Act, said election
shall be conducted according to the general election law.
Only qualified electors who own taxable property in the City and
who have duly rendered the same for taxation, shall be qualified
to vote. Returns of said election shall be made to the governing
body of the city.
SEC. 5. The governing body shall canvass the returns of said
election as soon as practicable. If a majority of the votes cast
at such election are in favor of approving the contract, the contract
shall at once become binding and effective; if a majority of
the votes are against the contract, the contract shall not become
effective.

and equip, such canals, reservoirs, basins, pipelines, conduits,

and supplies, and may acquire by purchase, eminent domain, or
otherwise all such property as is necessary or convenient for
the purpose of supplying water to a city as provided herein.
SEC. 7. Any such District may issue warrants, notes or bonds
to provide for the acquisition of the facilities necessary or convenient
for supplying water to such city or town, and to secure
such warrants, notes or bonds by a pledge of the revenues to be
derived under any such contract then in existence or thereafter
to be made for supplying water to such city or town. Where
tax supported bonds hereafter are voted for such purpose, such
bonds may be issued, secured by the pledge of such tax levy and

In instances where tax supported bonds have been voted heretofore
in any such district but all or part thereof have not yet
been sold, such unsold bonds may be issued and sold and the
proceeds or any part thereof may be used for such purpose without
the necessity of another election, and in such instances the
District may secure such bonds by a levy of such taxes and by,
a pledge of the revenues to be derived under any such contract
for supplying water either then in existence or thereafter to be
made, or may secure said bonds by either of such methods. Bonds
