| to be increased
above the statutory limits for the purchase of | 11 |

otherwise authorized in | 12 |
| subsection (a) shall be taken unless a petition signed
by at | 13 |

| proposition shall be voted upon.
The notice shall set forth the | 22 |
| proposition and shall be given by publication in

| township. Notice also shall be
given by posting notices in at | 27 |
| least 5 public places at least 10 days before

| (d) Before the township makes a lease or sale of township | 5 |
| or road

| adopt a resolution
