Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

All books, records, papers, vouchers, and documents which shall be in the possession of any officer, committee, or board of officers of the town, and which are not needed elsewhere by them in the discharge of official duty, shall be deposited in the office of the town clerk, and shall be there kept and preserved by him as public records of the town. Provided that, if the office of the clerk is not equipped for the safe keeping of the said public records, the clerk may, with the approval of the selectmen, deposit such records in some other safe and suitable place.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
