Upon filing of the proof by the secretary, the notice shall be conclusively deemed sufficient and legal notice of publication thereof. At the day set each landowner may cast one vote for each acre or fraction thereof owned by him for or against the proposition of issuing the warrants as set out in the notice. If two-thirds of the acres in the district are voted for the proposition, then the tellers shall so certify to the board, and the board shall make an order to the secretary to duly enter the results in the records of the district. Thereafter the board shall proceed to issue the authorized tax anticipation warrants as authorized.
