• 82 Ill. 119

Syllabus

<p>1. Township organization—changing towns and forming a new one. The proviso in the statute giving the board of supervisors power to form new toxvns, and to divide or enlarge towns, requiring a vote in case an incorporated town is to be divided, refers to incorporated towns and villages, and not to towns under the township organization law; and where no such incorporated town or village is to be divided, by any change of boundaries or the formation of a new town, no vote is required.</p> <p>2. Injunction—holding of an election. The power to hold an election is political and not judicial, and a court of equity has no jurisdiction to restrain officers from the exercise of such powers.</p>
