(70 ILCS 1505/2) (from Ch. 105, par. 333.2)
Sec. 2.
The question of the adoption of this Act shall be submitted at the
election held on the second Tuesday in April, 1934. Such question shall be
submitted to the electors of the entire district upon a ballot
substantially in the following form:
-------------------------------------------------------------- For the adoption of "An Actin relation to the creation, YESmaintenance, operation and -------------------------improvement of the Chicago Park NODistrict."--------------------------------------------------------------
Notice of the submission of such question at the election to be held on
the second Tuesday in April, 1934, or of any resubmission of such question
provided for in this act shall be given by the same officer or board whose
duty it is to give notice of the general primary election or other election
to be held on the second Tuesday in April, 1934, or of any election or
elections at which such question may be submitted or resubmitted. The time
for giving such notice shall be the same as that required for the primary
or other election at which such proposition may be submitted or
resubmitted. The ballots upon which such question is submitted or
resubmitted shall be furnished and distributed, received, returned and
canvassed in the same manner and by the same officers as are authorized by
law to perform these duties at any election or elections within the
boundaries of the proposed Chicago park district, at which such question
may be submitted or resubmitted.
If a majority of the legal voters voting on such proposition vote for
the adoption of this Act it shall immediately take effect and upon the
appointment of the commissioners, as hereinafter provided, the offices of
commissioners in such existing park districts shall cease to exist and all
powers and duties vested in or exercised by such commissioners shall be
vested in and exercised by the Chicago Park District or the commissioners
thereof.
If this Act should fail to be adopted, it may again be resubmitted in
like manner to the legal voters thereof by petition of 25,000 of the legal
voters within such proposed district, such petition of the voters to be
presented or made to the county clerk not less than thirty days before the
general or special election at which the question is to be submitted. If a
majority of those voting thereon at any such election shall vote "yes" it
shall thereupon be adopted and shall immediately take effect.
If, at any election, this Act shall be adopted, the proposed Chicago
Park District shall reimburse the county of Cook and the city of Chicago
for all additional expenses necessarily incurred at such election in
submitting the Act to the voters of the proposed Chicago Park District; if,
at any election, the Act should fail of adoption, each established park
district located within the proposed Chicago Park District, shall pay its
proportionate part of such additional expenses necessarily incurred by the
county of Cook and the city of Chicago in submitting or resubmitting the
Act to the voters of the proposed Chicago Park District, said proportionate
share of expense to be arrived at by taking the number of votes cast in
each established park district as against the whole number of votes cast in
the proposed Chicago Park District.
