Compiler's Notes:
This act seems to have been intended to supercede Act 115 of 1891, on same subject. The only essential difference between the two acts is that this act provides for contracts for furnishing light as well as construction of works by municipality. In section 1, clause “or to contract for the furnishing thereof,” is inserted. In section 2, clause “or when such common council shall deem it expedient to contract for the lighting of such cities and villages, with electric or other lights,” is inserted, and all after first proviso added. In section 3, vote required of electors is made “a majority,” instead of “two-thirds,” and proviso added. The title of this act however, does not mention “inhabitants,” as does Act 115, 1891. But see MCL 123.101.
2023 Michigan Compiled Laws › Chapter 123 - Local Government › Act 186 of 1891 - Lighting of Public Places (123.91 - 123.94) › Section 123.92 - Expediency Resolution of Council; Contracts, Time Limit; Submission of Purchase, Construction to Electors; Governing Rules.

Whenever 2 or more cities in Michigan determine to extend and improve their municipally owned water systems through the acquisition of an additional source of water supply consisting of a water supply line from one of the great lakes, bays thereof, and connecting waters between, together with related pumping station or stations, intake, meters, valves, rights of way, real estate and appurtenant apparatus and equipment (all of which are hereinafter referred to as the "source of supply"), such cities may jointly acquire, own and operate such source of supply, or any part thereof, and each such city may finance all or part of its agreed share of the cost thereof through the issuance of its water revenue bonds under the provisions of Act No. 94 of the Public Acts of 1933, as such act now exists or may hereafter be amended. The governing bodies of such cities are hereby empowered to enter into such agreements for the acquisition, operation, control, management and improvement of such source of supply (any which agreement may run for a term of years) as they may in their discretion see fit, including, but without limitation, agreements with each other, with water customers and with any board, agency or commission in which may be imposed the operation of the source of supply.
