council of the city of Danville shall not sell, lease, or on any terms
grant and convey the electric, gas or water works or plants with their
distributing systems and their necessarily appurtenant franchises and
rights, which are the property of said city, unless at a special election
held after the proposal to sell said electric, gas or water works plant
or plants, as the case may be, and franchise or franchises, shall have
