The ballots to be used at the election shall have printed thereon, in addition to the other matters required by law, separate propositions as to each class of public utilities as to which the municipal corporation may retain its powers of control and as to which it is desired to vote. As to each of such classes of public utilities, and in addition to the other matters required by law to be printed thereon, a proposition shall be printed on the ballot to be used at the election in substantially the following form: “Shall ______ (name of municipal corporation) surrender its powers of control over ______ (here insert class of public utility) to the Public Utilities Commission?”
Opposite each such proposition to be voted upon, and to the right thereof, the words “Yes” and “No” shall be printed on separate lines, with voting squares. Any elector desiring to vote to surrender the powers of control of the municipal corporation over any class of public utility specified on the ballot, shall stamp a cross (×) in the voting square opposite the printed word “Yes,” after the proposition as to such class and any elector desiring to vote not to surrender the powers of control of such municipal corporation over such class of public utility, shall stamp a cross (×) in the voting square opposite the printed word “No” after the proposition as to such class.
