4070 ARTICLE 17.

The said Commission shall at the same time certify to the Board of
Supervisors of Elections for said County that a vote is desired on the
question. They shall also submit to said Board the proposition, to be
printed on the ballot, and file with them maps and descriptions of the dis-
trict or area. It shall thereupon be the duty of the Board of Supervisors
to approve the date for said election and issue a call for the same by pub-
lication, at least once a week for a period of three consecutive weeks in all
County newspapers published within the County; provided, however, that
if the date fixed for said special election is not that of the next County,
State or general election, said date shall be one at least six months in
advance of the date on which any one of the above elections is to be held.

The voting lists, on the question of an issue of sewerage and drainage
bonds in any district or area, shall be composed of:

(a) The qualified voters from the last general registers of election of
those entitled to vote at the last County, State or general election, residing
in or paying taxes on property within the district or area;

(b) Resident taxpayers, not qualified voters therein;

(c) Non-resident taxpayers;

(d) Provided, however, that a person paying a dog tax shall not be

construed a taxpayer for the purposes of this Act.

The Board of Election Supervisors shall prepare a list of those qualified
to vote on the question, whose names are found on the general register.

taxpayers' lists any name found on the list prepared from the election
registers.

The said Commission shall have forwarded to each resident taxpayer

face of which has been printed or written the words "Resident Taxpayers'
Ballot" and "Non-resident Taxpayer's Ballot," respectively. If such tax-
payer desires to vote on the question, the proper mark shall be made there-
in, in the presence of a notary, whose acknowledgment shall be endorsed,
and whose seal affixed to said ballot, the same then being forwarded in a

sealed registered package to the said Commission, who shall deliver it
unopened to the Clerk of the Election, before the close of the polls, and the
said ballot shall be counted as a yea or nay vote on the question of the
bond issue.

The Board of Election Supervisors shall designate one or more polling
places within the district or area and shall hold an election, appointing
judges and clerks for each polling place, who shall be the same in number
and receive the same compensation as that received in a County, State or

general election, provided, however, that they may in case of a separate
