Whereas, On the 2nd Day of November 1888 by order of the Common Council of the City of Seattle, a special election was ordered to be held on the 19th day of November 1888, in order that the voters of said City might at said election vote for or against the erection of such certain water works as were described in the proclamation of the Mayor of said city calling for such election; and whereas, said special election was ordered to be held under the provisions of Section 12 of the amended charter of the City of Seattle , as complied and published by order of the Common Council thereof; and Whereas it now appears that said Section 12 of the said City Charter so compiled and issued is not a correct copy of said section as printed and published in the session laws of 1885-6 in this That whereas section12 of said compiled charter provides that the said question may be submitted to the voters of Seattle as "A General or Special Election"
