18510. The board of trustees of any union high school library
district may, when in its judgment it is deemed advisable, and shall
upon a petition of 50 or more taxpayers and residents of the library
district, call an election and submit to the electors of the district
the proposition of whether the bonds of the district shall be issued
and sold for the purpose of raising money for any or all of the
following purposes:
(a) The purchase of suitable lots.
(b) Procuring plans and specifications and erecting a suitable
building.
(c) Furnishing and equipping the building and fencing and
ornamenting the grounds, for the accommodation of the union high
school library.
(d) Any or all of the purposes of this chapter.
(e) Liquidating any indebtedness incurred for the purposes.
(f) Refunding any outstanding valid indebtedness evidenced by
bonds or warrants of the district.

18511. In determining the amount of bonds to be issued and sold,
the board of trustees may include:
(a) Legal or other fees incidental to or connected with the
authorization, issuance and sale of the bonds.
(b) The costs of printing the bonds and other costs and expenses
incidental to or connected with the authorization, issuance and sale
of the bonds.
If such a determination is made, the proceeds of the sale of the
bonds may be used to pay such costs and fees.

18513. Voting shall be by ballot, without reference to the general
election law in regard to form of ballot or manner of voting, except
that the words to appear on the ballot shall be "Bonds--Yes" and
"Bonds--No." Persons voting at the bond election shall put a cross
(+) upon their ballot with pencil or ink, after the words "Bonds--Yes"
or "Bonds--No," as the case may be, to indicate whether they have
voted for or against the issuance of the bonds. The ballot shall be
handed by the elector voting to the inspector, who shall then, in his
presence, deposit it in the ballot box, and the judges shall enter
the elector's name on the poll list.

18515. If it appears that two-thirds of the votes cast at the
election are in favor of issuing the bonds, the board shall cause an
entry of the fact to be made upon its minutes and shall certify to
the board of supervisors of the county all the proceedings had in the
premises.

18518. No error, irregularity, or omission which does not affect
the substantial rights of the taxpayers within the district or the
electors voting at any election at which bonds of any district are
authorized to be issued shall invalidate the election or any bonds
authorized by such election.
