3. ““It should also be borne in mind that this court, like other courts, has definitely distinguished between statutes which provide that an act is to be done within a specified number of days and statutes which provide that at least a certain number of days should intervene between dates or acts. In the last class of cases the words “at least” have been interpreted to mean clear days. Clear days are not intended where the word “within” is used . . .” (p. 712.)”
