Syllabus

<p>District School Tax—Assessment Boll—Evidence. — Though the assessment roll may he prima facie evidence of its contents, it is not conclusive in a proceeding directly based upon its correctness. Held, accordingly, in an action to recover a district school tax, that it was error to exclude evidence offered by defendant to show that the assessment roll was simply copied from the assessment roll of the county, and that no assessment was in fact made.</p> <p>Id. — Notice — Public Places — Definition.— Notices of election were posted at a store and two saloons, occupying three of the corners formed by two roads crossing each other, and within a circumference of eighty feet; and the Court found that the notices were posted in three of the most public places in the district. Held, that the finding was justified by the evidence.</p>
