Section 1. The governing body of any incorporated town in Burke County is hereby authorized, in its discretion, to extend water, sewer, and electrical facilities to industrial site areas outside the corporate limits when, in the opinion of any such governing body, it appears probable that such area is likely to be included within the corporate limits at some future time, and to expend funds therefor.

The board of county commissioners is authorized to expend funds for the above referred to purpose.

Neither the board of county commissioners nor the governing body of an incorporated town shall expend any ad valorem tax funds or levy any ad valorem taxes for the purposes of this Act, unless the same is approved at an election thereon in the governmental unit proposing to levy ad valorem taxes therefor, which election shall be called and conducted as nearly as possible in conformity with the procedure set forth in Sections 153-92 through 153-100 of the General Statutes when a county election is required and G. S. 160-387 when a municipal election is required.
