§ 25. Propositions for the submission of local laws. A proposition for
the submission of a local law to the approval of the electors pursuant
to this chapter shall contain the title of such local law. The clerk,
with the advice of the corporation counsel, municipal attorney or other
principal law officer shall prepare an abstract of such local law
concisely stating the title, purpose and effect thereof, and forthwith
shall transmit such proposition and such abstract to the election
officers charged with the duty of publishing the notice of and
furnishing the supplies for such election. A sufficient number of copies
of such abstract shall be printed and made available at the time of
registration or otherwise in advance of the election to such electors as
desire them, and shall also be delivered with the other election
supplies and distributed to the electors at the election. If there be
more than one such proposition to be voted upon at such election, such
propositions shall be separately and consecutively numbered.
