• 79 Ill. 11

Syllabus

<p>1. Taxes—assesswnis valid, though not returned by the day fixed by law. Athough, under the statute, it is the duty of the town assessor to make return of the assessment books to the county clerk on or before the first day of July, of the year for which the assessments are made, yet a failure to make the return within the time limited does not render the assessment invalid.</p> <p>2. Same—-formal objections not favored. This court is not inclined to entertain merely formal objections to taxes levied by municipalities, where the irregularities complained of do not affect unjustly the rights of the citizen.</p>
