If the electors of the district, equal in number to forty percent (40%) of the electors of the district voting at the last general state election, file written objections to the proposed issuance of the bonds with the clerk of the board of trustees within twenty (20) days after the first publication of notice, the board of trustees shall submit the proposition of issuing the bonds to the electors of the district at an election on a date as determined by the board of county commissioners and authorized under W.S. 22-21-103, notice of which shall be given by publication in a legal newspaper published or of general circulation in the district three (3) consecutive weeks. If a majority of the qualified electors of the district, voting upon the proposition, vote in favor of issuing bonds, the board of trustees may issue and sell bonds and, if revenue bonds are issued, pledge for the payment of same the revenues and earnings of the improvements as proposed in the notice, and enter into contracts in connection therewith as may be necessary or proper. The bonds shall draw interest from and after the date of the issuance thereof, at a rate determined by the board. In the event the electors fail to approve the proposition by majority vote, the proposition shall not be again submitted to the electors for their consideration until five (5) months have elapsed from the date of the election.
