• 87 Ill. 72

Syllabus

<p>1. Sewerage tax—limitation as to amount. Cities under the general incorporation act, prior to the act of 1871, the former act not containing the limitation clause found in the latter as to the amount, to be raised for sewerage purposes, seem not to have been restricted in that regard, and the act of 1873 confers power to tax for such purpose, but contains no limitation clause as to amount.</p> <p>2. Taxes—notice of application—appearance. Any defect in the notice of an application for judgment against lands for taxes, or even the want of any notice, is obviated by the appearance of the tax-payer and contesting the tax on the merits.</p>
