(a)
At all elections held by and in the city subsequent to this date, December 14, 1970, for the purpose of electing city councilmen, the rule of law providing for the election of councilmen by place shall be in effect.
(b)
Whereas, state law governing cities and towns, requires that for an ordinance providing for the election of councilmen by place, said ordinance must be legally adopted at least 60 days prior to the election, and whereas, the next such election in Lorenzo is more than 60 days from this date; therefore, it is hereby ordered that such provision for the election of councilmen by place shall be effective at the next and subsequent such elections.
