Sec. 4. The ballots to be used in such election shall be prepared as are ballots for other general elections, and shall contain the words "for the issue of bonds for public road improvement," and "against the issue of bonds for public road improvement"; and if upon the canvass of the ballots cast, it shall be found that a majority of those voting are in favor of such bond issue, the fact shall be so reported as are the results of other general elections, and the board of supervisors upon receipt of notice of such results shall proceed immediately to prepare, execute and negotiate such bonds accordingly; provided, however, that if one or more of the magisterial districts of the said county shall cast a majority vote in favor of such bond issue, and one or more shall vote negatively thereon, the said board shall issue such bonds, in such proportion of the said sum of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, only, as the road mileage of the districts or districts voting and in favor thereof shall bear to the aggregate road mileage of the said county, or as nearly as may reasonably be possible, the proceeds of such bonds so issued to be applied exclusively to road building in such magisterial districts.
