10    incorporated  cities or villages, and an aggregate population
11    of not less than 3,500 inhabitants, shall be so situate as to
12    be subject to overflow from any river or  tributary  thereof,
13    and  the maintenance of one or more levees for the protection
14    of the same against such overflow, and of a new  or  improved
15    outlet   for  the  drainage  thereof,  will  conduce  to  the
16    preservation of the public health and safety, the same may be
17    incorporated as a sanitary district, in the manner following:
18    Any three hundred legal voters resident within the limits  of
19    such  proposed  district,  may petition the circuit court for
20    the county in which the majority of such petitioners  reside,
21    to  cause the question to be submitted to the legal voters of
22    said proposed district,  whether  they  will  organize  as  a
23    sanitary district under this act. Such petition shall contain
24    the  name  of such proposed sanitary district, and a definite
25    description of the territory intended to be embraced therein:
26    Provided, no territory shall be included within more than one
27    sanitary district under this act.
