The proposition must contain the proposed new name, and be accompanied by written notice to the United States Postal Service of such change. If the proposition be adopted a certificate thereof, attested by the mayor and clerk of the village, shall, within ten days after the election, be filed in the office of such clerk, in the office of the county clerk of each county in which any part of the village is situated, and also in the office of the secretary of state. The change of name takes effect upon the filing of the certificate in the office of the village clerk.
