Sec. 1.
When any park district organized
under the provisions of any general law of this state and which park
district shall lie wholly within the limits of any city within this
state, shall have acquired any lands for park purposes, and the board of
commissioners of such park district shall find such park district unable
to maintain or improve such lands or any part thereof, or that it is
inadvisable so to do, it shall be competent for the board of
commissioners of such park district to convey the said lands, or any
part thereof, to such city, to be held and maintained by such city for
park, playground and neighborhood center purposes. Before such
conveyance shall be made the board shall certify the proposition to the
proper election officials who shall submit the proposition at an election
in accordance with the general election law, and if a majority of
the legal voters of such park district who shall vote on such
proposition shall vote in favor thereof such conveyance for such
purposes shall be made by said commissioners, provided the city council
of said city shall by ordinance passed within ninety days after such
referendum agree to accept such conveyance of said lands for such
purposes.
