words "For a special assessment of not to exceed Ten cents
on each $100. 00 of real and personal property to be paid
to some volunteer fire company, or companies, for fire pro-
tection" with a blank square opposite at the right of said
words; and immediately thereunder shall be the following
words: "Against a special assessment of not to exceed Ten
cents on each $100. 00 of real and personal property to be
paid to some volunteer fire company, or companies, for fire
protection" with a blank square opposite at the right of
said words.

In the event that said election shall be held at the same
time that the regular town election is held, said words and
blank squares shall be printed on the regular ballot for said
election, and the officials in charge of said regular election
shall act as officials for this election, and said votes shall
be canvassed at the same time and in the same manner as
are the votes for the regular election.

In the event that said election shall be held at some other
time than a regular election, then the Mayor and Town
Council shall appoint the necessary officers to conduct said
election, and said election and the count and canvass of said
ballots shall be conducted as provided in the Town Charter
for all general town elections.

The poll books showing the registered voters of said
town last registered shall be used.

In the event that at such election the majority of votes
cast for and against such special assessment shall be in
favor of allowing such assessment, then this Act shall be
in full force and effect; but in the event that the majority
of votes so cast shall be against such special assessment,
then the Mayor and Town Council may submit the same
question in the same manner and under this Act to the
qualified voters of said Town at the general Town election
to be held in July, 1934, in the same method and manner as
hereinbefore provided, and if a majority of the votes cast
at said second election upon said question shall be in favor
of such special assessment then this Act shall be in full
force and effect; but if a majority of the votes cast upon
said question at such second election shall be against such
special assessment then this Act shall be void and of no
effect.
