said second election held under the provisions of this Act shall
vote "Against the Bond Issue, " than "For the Bond Issue, "

the provisions of law now governing elections in said town
are hereby made applicable to said elections under the pro-

books of said town.

certificate and return the ballots to the Clerk of the Court
for Washington County, and upon receipt by said Clerk of
the said certificate and ballots he shall make proclamation of
the result by publication in one or more newspapers (not
