and platted in a suitable manner and to cause to be submitted to the registered
electors of such county at the general election next after the filing of such petition
and plat with them the question of whether such portion of the territory of their
county shall be so stricken off. The board of county commissioners shall also
require the county clerk and recorder, in giving the notice required by law of the
general election then next ensuing, to insert therein a notice to said registered
electors that the question of striking off such territory from their county,
particularly describing such territory by metes and bounds as shown by said survey,
will be submitted to them for their approval or rejection and that they should
designate on their ballots their approval thereof, which shall be expressed by the
words for the new county line, or their dissent thereto, expressed by the words
against the new county line. The board of county commissioners of the county to
which such territory has been annexed may, in their discretion, pay the necessary
expenses of such survey and plat by warrant on the treasury as in other cases.
