Election for tax--petition--duty of county commission.

137.565. Whenever ten or more voters residing in any general or special

road district in any county in this state shall petition the county

commission of the county in which such district is located, asking that such

commission submit the question in such district for the purpose of voting for

or against the levy of the tax provided for in the second sentence of the

first paragraph of Section 12 of Article X of the Constitution of Missouri,

it shall be the duty of the county commission, upon the filing of such

petition, to submit the question. The petition so filed shall set out the

duration of the tax to be levied in a period of one, two, three, or four

years and the ballot to be used for voting shall specify the number of years

duration of the tax levy, but in no event shall the duration of the tax levy

be for a period of more than four years. Such submission shall be made by an

order entered of record setting forth the date and the rate of tax the

commission will levy, which rate shall not exceed thirty-five cents on the

hundred dollars assessed valuation on all taxable real and tangible personal

property in the district.
