(70 ILCS 705/1.02) (from Ch. 127 1/2, par. 21b)
Sec. 1.02.
When an election is held to organize a fire protection district
and the proposition fails, and the proposed district is wholly included
in, or is coterminous with, a municipality, the cost of conducting the election
shall be paid by the municipality. Where the proposed fire protection district
being voted upon in an election does not fall entirely within one municipality
and the proposition fails, the cost of conducting the election shall be
paid by the county, and where the district includes territory in more than
one county and the proposition fails, such costs shall be apportioned between
or among the counties according to the number of precincts within each county
which lie in the proposed district. Where the proposition prevails, the
fire protection district shall pay the cost of the election. The court
shall assess the cost of conducting the election and shall submit a bill
for payment to such fire protection district, municipality, county, or counties.
