January Ist, 1920, was submitted by Joseph H. Koke, Supervisor of

veloped that there were three or four known cases where names i^ad

liminary announcement be made, but that letter from the Recorder's
office giving all names of those who might have been omitted from the
census be sent to the census supervisor.
Mrs. Angie Purkerson and Mr. J, C. Liehl as repre
sentatives from the fair Board and Chamber of Commerce, appeared be
fore the Coincil and asked for permit to hole Fair in the city, prob
ably the second week of September. They also requested that the
Council do certain grading on Rainbow Plaza and the lower part of
"H" Street, so that this ground or a part of it could be seeded and
thereby improve appearance of that particular district. They also
asked that in event that any outside carnival or private show was ob
tained for the Fair, that the license ordinarily charged would be
refunded or turned over to the Fair Board, All requests were granted
by action taken on the part of the Council, It was understood, how
ever, that the Fair Board would be responsible for cleaning up the
area used after the fair had been held.
Some discussion followed regarding the present con
dition of the plank road down along Rainbow Plaza, and it was finally
ordered that this be torn up to the walk and the street be graded.
Mr. Liehl made a further report on recent survey

proximately 70 empty houses in the city. He urged that every possible
action be taken to induce or urge the employment of heads of families

their respective firms, fend that.every encouragement possible is being
given and will be given to the employment of married men or heads of
families•
City Recorder Chapin in conformity with action taken
at last regular meeting of the City Council, submitted a plan for
house-numbering as follows:
"Due to the fact that there is a duplication of names of streets
running north and south, from Schofield River east and Schofield
River west, Schofield River was to be designated as the zero or
dividing line between east and west for numbering houses facing
north and south; the first block up to First Street either way
to be numoered up to but not including 100, etc.
The extreme or southernmost street' to be the zero for numbering
houses facing east and west, and numbers to be built up at the
rate of 100 for each block, going north.
Houses or buildings facing south and facing west to use odd
numbers; north and east facings to use even numbers.
So far as possible each lot was to account for ten ntimbers."
After due consideration this plan was regularly adopted.
20
Some discussion followed regarding the necessity of posting street
signs with names of streets, ana it was indicated that these signs
should gradually be placed as fast as the city was financially able
to place them.

ing the former railroad crossing at 'iVinchester Avenue in lieu of the

'STANLEY L. CHAPII^
Recor der.
Mayor Buck, Councilman /Veidner and Street Commission
er Clarke called attention especially to the serious hazard which
existed particularly to automobile traffic going to and from the
railroad station and as it entered the new highway. Attention was
called to the fact that the agreement between the Southern Pacific
Company and the city, relative to the abondonment of the old cross
ing required that that old crossing be closed to public use. It
appeared however, that this would entirely block the public to
access to the railroad station by road. Consequently, it was order
ed that the Recorder take the matter up with the Southern i^acific
Company, calling attention to the hazard which existed and asking
that the city be relieved of any liability. Also that it advise the
City Council what its plans for improvement of that roadway were, and
how soon they contemplated starting the improvement.
Tfe Light Committee called attention to the neces
sity of purchasing 10 Series sockets for street lights which were
quoted by Mr. Lanielson at o5^ apiece. Lpon motion regularly made,
seconded and carried, purchase of these sockets was authorized.
The Recorder referred to previous action taken by
the Council toward exchange of Lot 7 Block 77 for Lot 11 in Block 80.
• It appeared that the excess of taxes on Lot 7 Block 77 over Lot 11
; Block 80 was approximately ^500. Inasmuch as the party who was con
sidering moving the dwelling was to pay excess in taxes, it was sug-
. gested that this amount be ordered paid direct to the city. The
Council ai'thorized also, acceptance of interest to date only on as®ssments
on Lgt 11 Block 80.
Reports of Treasurer Cairns and ^ity Recorder sett
ing out receipts and^disbursements to date, current obligations and
funds on hand, were submitted and ordered filed. Attention was called
to bond interest coupons for bancroft bonds which were coming due,
and the consequent necessity for some definite plan compelling payment
of assessments. It was ordered that immediate action be taken on the
Listrict ho, 9 assessment collections and indicated that some further
definite plan for collection of other delinquent assessments should be
acted upon.
The Recorder was authorized to send deeds on Lot 3,
Block 80, Lot 5 Block 80, Lot 5 Block 82, Lot 17 Block 77, and Lot 1
Block 78, to County Clerk for recording.

port to be used in connection with Case of the city with the Royal

ent situation. It was felt that request for information of this nature

tion would be lElcen in the matter- It waa the opinion of the Council
that some definite action was necessary for the protection of the
travelling public as well as'^relieve the city of possible liability
in event of serious accident. Upon motion of Councilman V/ei^ner,
seconded by Councilman J'oster, and regularly carried, it was ordered
that the Western end of the foimer road crossing leading from Winches
ter Avenue to the railroad track, be blocked; that posts be placed
parallel with the Roosevelt Highway;. It was considered that such

the East would be left open.

Minutes of the Regular August, 1930 Meeting of
the Common Council, of the City of Reedsport, held on
Monday, August 4th, 1930 at 8:00 P»M.
There were present. Mayor Buck and Councilmen
Bernhardt, Ford, Foster, V/eidner and V/est. Absent, Councilman
lillebo.
Minutes of the last regular and intervening
special meetings were read and approved.
Mr. Jack Diehl representing the Pair Board, ap
peared before the Council and urged the cooperation of the city
in providing for additional electric lighting facilities for pur
poses of city and fair advertising. LIr. C. M. Danielson of the
Peoples West Coast Hydro-Slectric Corporation v;as present and stat
ed that the company would cooperate to every possible extent and
would provide a few electric streamers which they had available.
Mayor Buck suggested that the matter be referred to the Li^t Com
mittee and assured Mr. Diehl of the city's cooperation so far as
possible. Some discussion also followed regarding advisability of
widening the graded portion on Rainbow Plaza, but no definite action
was taken in this matter.
Mr. Edward Cornell asked the Council if it was the Intent
to charge license fee as provided under Ordinance Ko. 209, which
taxed, licensed and regulated certain businesses, trades and occupa
tions, for a miniature golf course v^ich he mth certain associates
contemplated establishing in Reedsport# After due consideration,
upon motion regularly made, seconded and carried, the Council ruled
that there v/ould be no license fee charged in such case.
Mr. M. D. Wallace of the Reedsport Volunteer J'ire Depart
ment, asked for the Council's cooperation in the plan to provide
for an airport. The present plan contemplated certain clearing
and grading of that section of filled lard lying northward of the
school property, in Block 59. It appeared that most of this land
had been acquired by the City throu^ foreclosure of city liens.
Mr. \7allace stated that the plans of the Department would call for
use of the city grading equipment for a few evenings, and that the
firemen and other individuals v/ould give their time to the v;ork
gratis; that the prospective aii^ort would not be restricted to use i
of any particular planes or individuals, biit would be operated
entirely for the convenience and "benefit of the public and city*
Upon motion of Oouncilman V/eidner, seconded by Councilman 5'oster,
and unanimoualy carried, it was authorized that the Blocks 7, 37,
57, and 58, and the streets and alleys adjacent to those Blocks,
be set aside as a temporary municipal airport; that the city grad
ing eT|Uipraent and truck be made available, imder the supervision of
Street Commissioner Clarke, for such use as v/ould appear necessary
for conditioning the proposed airport, without ezpense to the
Volunteer Fire Department-
Some discussion follov/ed regarding the advisability of
purchase of an inexpensive chassis for mounting the chemical fire
carts. After due consideration, it was finally decided that an
appropriation of not to exceed |J50«00 be made fcxr the purpose of
this improvement.
Street Comrnissioner Clarke next brought up for considera
tion of the Council the urgent necessity of establishing certain
drains at various places, v;hich would be needed vri.th the approaching
rainy season in taking away the surface water from the streets and
flushing out the city sewer system. It was finally ordered that

Minutes of the Hegular September, 1930 Meeting of
the Common Council of liie City of Reedsport, held on
Tuesday, September 2nd, 1930 at 8:00 P.M.
There were present, Llayor Back and Councilmen
Bemhardt, Ford, Foster and West- Absent, Gouncilmsn Weidner and
lillebo.
The minutes of the last regular meeting were read
and approved.
Mr. Leonard Tolman and Mr. Carlson of Winchester
Bay, appeared before the Council and urged the reduction of the base
rate for water rent charged users at V/inohester Bay to the same rate
v;hich is applied to Heedsport water users. It was maintained that,
due to the fact of closer proximity to the source of supply, that
rate at V/inchester Bay should be at least the same as at Reedsport.
Mayor Buok explained at length the city's financial status in connec
tion with the ten yearS* operation of the v;ater system, and had the
City Recotder read a report in which it pointed out that there was an
approximate deficit of §27,000.00 in the ten years' operations, the
cost of V;h;ch had been bo me by general fund tax levies aadpaid by
the tax payers of the City of Reedsport. The report also pointed out
the fact that the city had a water bond obligation of (^155,000.00 in
addition to the fact that the main line v/as already eleven years old
and would be subject, very probably, to heavy maintenance costs in
the near future. Also, it appeared that the bond maturities with
interest and operating expense would exceed more than the anticipated
income from water rentals for the year 1931 and subsequent years. In
view of all these circumstances it was the unanimous opinion of the
Council that it was no more than fair that water users outside of the
City of Reedsport be clBrged a base rate in excess of Reedsport water
users. It was pointed out, also, that the City of Kewport charged Is"
times the base rate to water users outside of its city- limits. It
was further shown that Portland and other cities did this under cer
tain conditions. It was also stated thst there was no charge being
made for service for water hydrants installed at V/inchester Bay.
Mr. V/m. Schneider, Mrs. Pearl Rogers, Mr. and Mrs.
J. A. Williams, and Mrs. McBride, representing the various hotels in
Reedsport, appeared before the Council urging reduction in their^
respective water rates. The Council referred to the report submitted
for the information of Winchester Bay Water users, and indicated that
the same reasons applied for maintaining water rates as established
by the present ordinance. It was suggested that water rates could be
reduced somevjhat by the elimination of certain fixtures, but other
31
than that, it did not feel that a reduction was justified for the best
interests of the city and water users as a whole*
The following residents and taxpayers were appointed
to meet with the Ocuncil on Monday evening, September 29th at 8:00
P.M. to compile City of Reedsport "budget for the year 1931:

Attention of the Council was called to the fact
that v/ater lines serving residence of Edward Cornell and four other
houses in that vicinity, on Schofield iM.ghts district north of Win
chester Avenue, were too small to give sufficient pressure for ordin
ary use. After due consideration it was authorised that the Water
Commissioner be instructed to purchase and lay approximately 360*
of 2" galvanized pipe for serving the homes in that vicinity.
Recorder Chapin called attention to the necessity
of the city investigating and arranging for a new garbage dump loca
tion. Councilmen Bemhardt, Ford and Foster were appointed as a
special committee to look into this matter and report at next meet
ing.
The Council *s attention v;as called to the fact
that there had been a number of fire permits issued several years
ago v/ithout limit to time of use. Upon motion regularly made,
seconded and carried, it was ordered that all fire permits issued
prior to January 1st, 1930 be revoked.
Some discussion followed regarding collection on
assessments and it was left to the Oity Recorder and City Treasurer
to continue the policy of collection as previously outlined.

P.M.
There were present. Mayor Buck, Councilmen Foster,
Ford, Weidner, and West; Coioraitteeraen W, Burdick, H, L, Chapin,
ii]. G. Dunn, Lloyd Knapp, and Karl R. 'Chapman. Absent, Councilmen
Bernliardt and Lillebo; Committeemen E. W. Franklin, and YiT. Chamber

and upon motion regularly made, seconded and carried, liayor Buck was
unanimously elected chairman, and City Recorder Chapin was elected
secretary.
Due consideration was given to reports which had
been sent previously to all members of the Committee by the City Re
corder, showing in detail expenditures and receipts for the year 1929*
for the first half of the year 1930> and the Budget estimates for
1930. Items were considered separately as they appeared on the
Budget data sheets.
Some discussion developed regarding the advisability
of retaining a City Attorney and after due consideration it was de
cided that no allov/ance be made for city attorney salary as such for
the year 1931> that an item of $1000 be allowed for special legal
and engineering services.
Considerable discussion follov/ed regarding the
salary for City Recorder. It was first decided.that the salary be
established as heretofore paid; that is, $900 per year from the
General Fund and $900 per year from the Water Fund. There v/as a
later reconsideration of this item, however, at which time it was
decided to propose a yearly salary of $1200 divided equally as before
between the"^General and Water Funds, but with the allowance of $300
in each fund for special clerical v/ork in connection with that office.
In the discussion regarding the office of Recorder, it v^as the
unanimous recommendation of the Budget Goroiriittee that this office be
made an appointive rather than an elective office, and that the city
charter be aramended to this effect. The recommendation was also
extended to include similar action with regard to the office of city
treasurer.
Special allowance for lights was increased to
$2200 for the year and there was an additional item included in the
Budget for oiling of"streets.
The following proposed Budget for the year 193^

Communications:
A letter from the Heeasport i^'ire Department ad
dressed to the Council, calling attention to a number of viola
tions of Ordinance ITo. 71 which regulates the storage of gasoline,
was read; and after due consideration, upon motion made, seconded,
and carried, it was ordered that the Chief of the Fire Department
make a check of the individiaal violators and report at next meet
ing.
The 5'ire Department also filed a report on what
as the Roth building on Lot 4, -Slock 49, Amended Plat of
Addition, calling attention -inos the fact that the building
has a stove, bedding, and litter in it, and
39
is known
Railroad
is open. IS a serious
fire hazard." It was ordered that Comtnissioner Clarke remove the
stove and clean up' the' building so as" to lessen the existing hazard
to fire, pending the further disposition of the property.
'./ater Commissioner "Clarke submitted his report
on meter readings on the Umpqua Cash Ivlarket and Reedsport X.ieat illarket.
The' report ^lov/ed that the UmpqUa Cash Ivlarket consumed 10,790
cubic feet during the period Hovember" 14th to i^ovember 21st, and
that the Reedsport Lleat Ivlar/s t consumed 20,250 cubic feet during
the" period Hovember 21st to ITovember ^Sth. Inasmuch as the Umpqua
Cash I^arket meter reading included v/a'ter consumption for residen
tial use, it was evident that the Ree'dsport Lleat llarket yias a" mar
ket consumed- over twice as much v;ater as the Umpqua Cash liarket.
It was also noted that if both markets were metered the rates would
run approximately five times that of 'the existing rate charged. In
view of all the data submitted, it was decided that no change be
made in the existing rates, and that the Reedsport Lieat iiarket be
written to that effect, and that an outline of the findings be in40
eluded in the letter to them.
The claim of the Umpqua 10.11 s & Timber Company for pro
rata reduction in rate on account of five days operation was next
considered by the Council. Gouncilnian Lillebo, who had just conie
in to the meeting, recommended as Chairman of the Water Committee,
that no adjustiiient be made in view of the fact that the Ordinance
prescribed a base rate of $200 and that such a rate should be
charged in oraer to maintain the proper income for meeting obliga
tions of the city water system, 'i'he committee and the Council also
were of the opinion that no adjustment should be made in view of the
fact that the mill rates as they existed under the present ordin
ance were low in proportion to the probable amount of water consum
ed. ¥he Recorder v/as ordered to advise the Umpqua Hills Timber
Company of the decision of the Council in this riiatter._
Considerable discussion followed regarding the
financial status of tirie city with roepect to ti^e 3a,ncroft Bond
assessment collections. It was pointed out by,the City Recorder
and the Treasurer, that for some time it had been necesisary to
use principal and interest collected on assessments to i^ay tlie
interest coupons on the outstanding Bancroft Bonds as they cajae
due; that up till the present time there had been just about enough
money collected to i-ay these interest coupons, but at the present
time the street improvement fund v/as beginning to shov/ an actual
deficit. Although it was generally felt that the city had been
making as good a shovdng in this connection as possible, some con
cern was expressed as to the possible liability of the Council as
individuals in permitting this condition 1to continue. Umpon mo
tion of Councilman iToster, seconded by Councilman V/est, it was
ordered that Councilman './eidner and City Attorney Benson meet with
the ^tate Treasurer or Deputy otate Treasurer, for the purpose of
presenting the present situation regarding the Bancroft Bonds, and
requesting any suggestions and advice as to the best and proper
procedure.
Some discussion follov/ed regaraing the advisa
bility of auditing the city books, but no definite action was taken
in this matter.
Upon motion regularly made, seconded and carried,
it was ordered that the Street Commissioner arrange for the gravel
ling of 13th lij-treet between "H" and "L" btreets.
The financial reports were submitted by City
Treasurer and City Recorder, were duly accepted and ordered filed.

Councilman V/eidner reported on the results of a
of City Attorney Benson and himself to the State Treasurer's
, during v^ich conference they secured the following recornmendast:
Although a mistake to use principal collected from
assessments, in payment of bond interest coupons,
it appeared tlriat this was the common practice follow
ed in practically every city of this state, and it
seemed to be the only procedure to follow insofar as
the City of Reedsport was concerned for the time being.
2nd: Hecoimnended tl-iat no transfer oi funds other tiian from
General Fund be made in order to pay Bancroft interest
coupons.
3rd: Recom.tended that the City maice every effort to pay
interest coupons as they corne due in order to avoid
default. It was sugge^ited that some remedial legis-
-lation benefitting cities which liad issued bancroft
oonds, and subsequently had been forced to foreclose
and take property, might be made; for instance, one
bill will provide for a postponement at least, of ac-'
tion on the part of the counties to enforce payment
of taxes on such land foreclosed, until it can be sold
or disposed of by the respective cities instituting
the foreclosure proceedings.
4th: Recommended that V/ater bonds be paid off monthly,
thereby affecting a saving in interest charges.
liayor Buck made a brief report of the results
of recent trip to Hoseburg with Chairmen of the School Boards,
regarding present tax situation, and stated that there would be
every possible cooperation given by the county in connection with
the collection of personal taxes.
After due consideration, upon motion by Gouncilnian
n'eidner, seconded by Councilirian Foster and regularly carried,
previous action of the council authorizing transfer from oev/er
42
i^'und to Street Improvernent Fund for the purpose of paying street
intere^-t coupons, was rescinded.
Upon motion of Councilman .Veidner, regularly sec
onded and carried, it was ordered tlmt the «Vinchester Bay Water Fund
be transferred to the -^eeial V/ater ^'und as of Deceraber 31st, 1930.
It -was further ordered, upon motion regularly niade,
seconded, and carried, that the City Treasurer, when funds were avail
able, be authorized to transfer -#500 bade to the water Fund from the
, Hoad and street Fund. I'his action was taicen to repay loan which was •
made to l^oad and otreet Pund from '..'inchester Bay V/ater Fund as of
I'larch 3rd, 1930.
Upon motion regularly made, seconded and carried,
payment of ^250.00 from General Fund to ^^treet Iiiiprovement District
Ijo, 4 v/as authorized, in accordance with the provisions of V/arrant
7r4446 authorized at special meeting of i^eptember 10th, 19ia9, Upon
motion regularly made, seconded and carried, loan of .^1750 was author
ized from general Fund to the Street Improvement Interest Fuud.
Upon motion of Councilman "-/eidner, seconded by
Councilman Lillebo, and regularly carried, it was ordered to pay off
.;)3000 first'issue water bonds which were due Hoveiaber 1st, 1931. Con
siderable discussion followed regarding the advisability of authorizing
a city audit, and finally, upon motion of Councilman Lillebo, and
seconded and carried, the Finance Committee v/as •authorized to arrange
for an audit, the total cost of v/hich to the City was to be limited
to 5^350.00.
Mr. Franklin appeared before the Council and urged,
payment of former bill for gravel which he had presented at meeting
of i^ecember 4th, 1928, in the amount of #361.50, but which had been .
disallowed at that time. Lr. ^'ranklin contended that at the time
it had been his understanding tliat the City Council would not re
cognize any request for street improvement v/hich was in the nature
of new v/orlc, and on the basis of such a policy, he had undertaicen
personally to arrange financing for certain gravelling, T^articularly
along 15th street and also 14th and "II" btreets. He fui'ther stated
that the Council had refused payment of several gravel accounts at
that time.^but later^had authorized payment of two different accounts.
After considerable discussion and consideration. Councilman weidner
moved that the bill be disallov/ed. Ilotion was seconded by Councilman
ijoster, and upon the poll of the vote, as ordered by the liiayor, the
motion was lost as follows:
Councilman Lillebo - Ho
Foster - Yes
V/eidner - Yes
Ford - 17o
V/est - Ko
Ho further action was talcen in this matter, and the bill reinained on
the table for later consideration.
Bills of Councilman 'iVeidner and '-'ity Attorney Benson
for expenses for trip to Salem in the amounts of ^10^00 and .,p32.b0
respectively, were ordered paid. ' •/
Councilman './eidner further reported on visit v/i th
the Public bervice Commission , at which time he secured copy of
v/est Coast Power Company valiiations, and submitted a report for files
of the city. It was suggested that the ^ity write a letter to
secretary of the Fublic Service Commission, outlining the number of
service interruptions, the probable loss to consumers, with the view
to securing the Commissions recoromendations as to advisable action to
talce regarding standby service.

On this basis 1st year wo-uld have to pay interest an,d principal
$ 11,660.00
On this basis 2nd year would have to pay interest and principal
I 11,660.00
For the 28 years after would iave to pay yearly on interest and
principal ^ 17,160.00
Of course after the bonds are started to be paid off the yearly
interest will drop.
Taking our present yearly revenues into consideration, which is
$ 19,200.00 on a 1600.00 per month average, deducting our present
average monthly expense of operation v/hich is ^3,000.00 per year,
we find v/e have 16,200.00 left to apply on interest and principal
which would leave us a sinking fund on the first two years of:'
^ 4,540.00 per year or for the 2 years | 9,080.00, and after the
1st two years bonds and interest are paid we v/ould Just come out
even on our system, but times are bound to change, and if our
revenue comes back to normal of ^24,000.00 a year revenue, we
will have ^ 3,840.00 a year over all expenses.
At present our yearly outgoing expense is $21,640.00 on our
present finance plan, so the above proposed plan is $4,480.00
a year less, so this would show that there would be no increased
water rates to our users, and in fact would give us a chance to
reduce rates, when things are again normal.

the Mayor on the 27thday of August 1934,
The said ordinance directs me to perform certain
mandatory duties. As Recorder, I am directed to post said
ordinance in three public places in accordance with the pro
visions of section 38 (4) of the charter of the City of
Reedsport, and directed to cause to be published a notice
inviting proposals for the purchase and sale of the re
funding water bonds authorized to be issued and sold by
said ordinance No, 231 ,
I hereby notify you that I refuse to perform
any of the mandatory duties imposed upon my by said
ordinance, I particularly refuse to post said ordinance
in three public places and make a return of such posting
and file the same, and I particularly refuse to prepare
and cause to be published a notice inviting proposals for
the purchase and sale of said water refunding bonds author
ized to be issued by said Ordinance No, 231 • I particularly
refuse to countersign the bonds or permit a facsimile of my
signature to be engraved on the coupons of said bonds.
My reasons for refusing to perform such mandatory
duties are as follows:
1, The.authority under which said ordinance is
purported to be enacted, namely. Chapter 156 Oregon Laws
1933, is in conflict with section 2 of Article XI of the
Constitution of Oregon, and section 1-a of Article IV of
the Constitution of Oregon,. The issuance and sale of
refunding bonds is entirely a local matter, purely
municipal, with which the people of the state at large
have no concern, and under the Constitution it is settled
that as to matters purely municipal, the legislature cannot
interfere by either general or special legislation,
(1)
I£l-r'
% I
2. Under the Constitution of Oregon, the power
to issue refunding bonds must be conferred on the Council
by the charter#
3. While the legislature may grant general authority
to cities to issue and sell refunding water bonds matured,
or authority to refund unmatured water bonds with the
consent of the holders thereof, the cities can avail them
selves of that authority only by incorporating the power
granted by the legislature in their charters.
4. The charter of the City of Reedsport, Oregon,
does not confer upon the Council the power to issue and
sell the refunding water bonds provided by the Ordinance
Ho. S51 there is no implied power conferred on
the Council by the charter so to do.
5. l/Vhere the charter expressly provides that no
bonds shall be issued or sold by the Council unless approved
by a vote of the people at a general or special election at
which the question shall be submitted as other measures are
submitted under the initiative and referendum, the Council
is bound by that provision of the charter and the legis
lature cannot by a general statute authorize the Council
to issue and sell refunding bonds without a vote of the
people on the question, because the charter is supren^
over the statute. Chapter 156 Oregon Laws 1933 cannot
amend or supersede such a charter provision.
6. In the absence of any charter provision author
izing the Council to generally issue refunding bonds, the
legislature cannot by a general act authorize the Council
of a municipality to issue refunding bonds. Tlmt power
must be conferred by a direct vote of the people at a
general or special election at which the question shall
be submitted.
