 9 provided for shall specify the place at which the qualified voters of

 11 wise scheduled general election day, designated as such by the state
 12 board of elections, and, if no other election is occurring on such date,
 13 shall remain open for at least six consecutive hours between eight
 14 o'clock in the forenoon and eight o'clock in the evening. The voting
 15 upon a proposition shall be by ballot and each proposition submitted
 16 shall be separately stated and numbered thereon. The town clerk shall
 17 give notice of such special town election at the expense of the town by
 18 the publication of a notice in a newspaper published in said town, if

 20 county having general circulation in the town, specifying the time when
 21 and place or places where such election will be held, the hours during
 22 which the polls will remain open for the purpose of receiving ballots,
 23 and setting forth in full all propositions to be voted upon. The first
 24 publication of such notice shall be at least ten days prior to the time
 25 of such special election. In addition, the town clerk shall post or
 26 cause to be posted a copy of such notice on the sign-board of the town
 27 maintained pursuant to subdivision six of section thirty of this chapter
 28 at least ten days prior to such election. In the event that any such
