in the area present at said second meeting shall vote on the
question of whether the area shall be a sanitary district
and what utilities the Commission is authorized to install.
The vote of a majority of owners of property in the area
present at said meeting shall constitute final and affirma-

the second meeting shall not have any power to approve
anything not approved by the first meeting, but on the
other hand, may limit, define and restrict any action of the
first meeting. The area described in the petition shall then
be and become a sanitary district for the service or services
approved by both meetings and the Commission shall cause

its chief engineer, showing the proposed water, sewerage
or drainage systems, one copy of which plat shall be filed
in the office of the Commission, one in the office of the
County Commissioners and one in a plat book indexed

by the County Commissioners of said County and the Com-

and the same is hereby designated and constituted for the
purpose of this sub-title to be a separate sanitary district,
and shall be given by the Commission a distinctive name
and shall be subject to all the provisions of this sub-title,

the public of such action of the Commission. For the pur-
pose of providing for the organization and preliminary ex-

County Commissioners shall furnish the Commission with
