Any city so providing for terms for the trial of jury cases and having a justice court clerk who acts as clerk for all of the justices of the peace in such city, may by an ordinance passed by a 3/4 vote of the legislative body of said city, adopt the provisions of this act as the method of the selection of jurors for the trial of jury cases.
