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.
