may discontinue it by a referendum initiated by a petition signed
by not less than 5% of the registered voters in each of at least 2/3 of the
townships or road districts within the county. The proposition shall be in
substantially the following form:

NO---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If a majority of the votes cast upon the proposition are for the

the affairs of the county tuberculosis sanitarium. After the payment of
all obligations the money in the tuberculosis sanitarium fund shall
become a part of the general funds in the county treasury and the county
board shall take over all property and equipment in the custody and
under the control of the board of directors. The county board may sell
such property or make such other disposition as is for the best
interests of the county.
The terms of the board of directors shall terminate when their duties
in connection with closing up the affairs of the tuberculosis sanitarium
have ended.
