In the event that at such election, whether special or
regular town election, the majority of votes cast for and
against this Act allowing an issue of bonds or certificates
of indebtedness shall be in favor of allowing said issue of
bonds or certificates of indebtedness, then this Act shall be

cast upon said question shall be against an issue of bonds
or certificates of indebtedness for the purpose stated, then
this act shall be void and of no effect.

hereby declared to be an emergency law and necessary for
the immediate preservation of the public health and safety,
and being passed upon a yea and nay vote supported by

fect from the date of its passage.
