§ 14.
A district organized under this Act may be dissolved and discontinued upon like petition, hearing and election as is provided in this Act for the organization of a district. If a majority of the votes cast on the question at the election are in favor of dissolution, the court shall enter an order of record in the court dissolving the district. The trustees of the district shall immediately proceed to wind up the affairs of the district and shall have the same powers as before dissolution to levy taxes for the purpose of paying the debts, obligations and liabilities of the district outstanding on the date of dissolution and the necessary expenses of closing up the affairs of the district. All property of the district shall be sold and, in case any excess remains after all liabilities of the district are paid, the excess shall be paid to the various common school districts located in the district ratably in the proportion that the taxable value of all the property in each of the school districts bears to the taxable value of all the property in the emergency services district.
