§ 38-84. Same—Issuance of call for election; voter lists; ballots; required vote.

Not less than ten days after the receipt of the aforesaid resolution, the ordinary [now probate judge] of Cobb County shall issue the call for an election for the purpose of determining whether taxes shall be levied in the sewage district for sewage disposal purposes. The date of the election shall be set for a day not less than 20 nor more than 30 days after the date of the issuance of the call. The date and purpose of the election shall be published once a week for two weeks immediately preceding the date thereof in the official organ of Cobb County. It shall be the duty of the ordinary [now probate judge] to compile a list of voters for each sewage district established as aforesaid, and only those voters who are registered for the general election and who reside in said district shall be qualified. The ballot shall have printed thereon the words: "For the levy of taxes not to exceed five mills for sewage disposal purposes." "Against the levy of taxes not to exceed five mills for sewage disposal purposes."

If a majority of those persons voting in such election in each district vote for the levying of such taxes, then the governing authority of Cobb County shall be authorized to levy such taxes in that district. If a majority of those persons voting in such election do not vote for the levying of such taxes, then no such taxes shall be levied in that district. The votes in each sewage district shall determine whether such taxes shall be levied in each particular district.
