shall be made, which said special election shall be held under
the provisions of law governing elections in said town; pro-

purpose of said special election, and for the purpose of taking
the vote at said election there shall be printed on the ballot to
be used at said election in one column the words, "For the
Bond Issue," and in another column the words, "Against the
Bond Issue," and if a majority of the legally qualified voters
shall vote in favor of said bond issue, the Commissioners of
Church Hill shall issue said bonds and provide for the improve-
ment of said roads, but if a majority of the legally qualified
voters of the said town shall vote against the issue of said
bonds, then this Act shall be null and void. The judges of
said election shall, at the close of the polls on said election
day, count up the votes and make a certificate of the same in
the usual form and forward said certificate to the treasurer of
the said corporation, who shall at once record said certificate,
together with a copy of the notice of said election, in the
