10 incorporated cities or villages, and an aggregate population

13 and the maintenance of one or more levees for the protection
14 of the same against such overflow, and of a new or improved

17 incorporated as a sanitary district, in the manner following:
18 Any three hundred legal voters resident within the limits of
19 such proposed district, may petition the circuit court for

21 to cause the question to be submitted to the legal voters of
22 said proposed district, whether they will organize as a
23 sanitary district under this act. Such petition shall contain
24 the name of such proposed sanitary district, and a definite
25 description of the territory intended to be embraced therein:
26 Provided, no territory shall be included within more than one
27 sanitary district under this act.
