Said question may be submitted at a special election called for that purpose, or at a general election, but said special election may be held at the same time as the city election, in which event a special ballot upon such question shall be provided for the voters at such election. Such question shall appear upon the ballot as follows:
For the "detention home" or juvenile farm ☐
Against the "detention home" or juvenile farm ☐
And if a majority of the votes cast for and against such proposition shall be in favor of such establishment, the board of county commissioners shall proceed to establish and maintain the same as herein provided.
