the purpose of taking the sense of the district upon the question of
issuing such bonds, naming in the proclamation of such election the
amount of bonds to be voted on and the purpose for which they are to
be issued; and it shall cause to be published in a newspaper of
general circulation in said district the time and place of such
election, such notices to be given at least ten (10) days before
such election. In all instances where proclamations for elections
for boards of education are required by statute of the mayor of a
city, and in all instances where elections for boards of education

hereby declared to be free and independent of cities in all matters
relating to school elections legally called upon all school matters,

shall be called on the same proposition within four (4) months after
such proposition has been defeated at an election by the school
district electors. The provisions of this act as to the waiting
