by K.S.A. 17-1302, 17-1311, 17-1312, 17-1319, 17-1320 and 17-1321, and

(b) The board of directors of such district is hereby authorized to
issue general obligation bonds of the district for the purpose of acquiring
additional land for cemetery purposes in the manner herein provided. Before
any such bonds shall be issued, the board shall adopt a resolution
declaring its intention to issue such bonds, stating the purpose for which
the bonds are to be issued and the amount thereof. Such resolution shall be
published once each week for three consecutive weeks in the official county
newspaper. If within 30 days following the date of the last publication of
such resolution a petition signed by not less than 5% of the qualified
electors of the district is filed in the office of the county election
officer requesting an election on the proposition to issue such bonds, no
bonds shall be issued without such proposition having been approved by a
majority of the electors of the district voting at an election called and
held thereon. All such elections shall be noticed, called and held in the
manner prescribed for the giving of notice, calling and the conduct of
elections under the general bond law. If no sufficient petition is filed
within the time prescribed or if such proposition is approved by a majority
of the qualified electors
of the district voting at an election held thereon, bonds of the district
may be issued in an amount not to exceed the amount specified in the
original resolution of the board.
