California Supreme Court · decided 1881-07-15

Brundage, J. The resolution of the Board of Trustees was that an election should be called to submit to the electors of said school district the question whether a tax of two thousand five hundred dollars shall be raised for maintaining the school for the remainder of the term of the present school year, and for the purchasing and inclosing the school grounds, and completion of school buildings in said district, and the notice of the election was substantially to the same…

Decided 1881-07-15

The Court:

¶1This appeal is from a judgment entered against the appellant for a delinquent school tax amounting to two dollars and forty-eight cents.

¶2The validity of the tax is disputed on the ground that the trustees of the school district did not, in calling the election, posting notices, and equalizing the assessments, comply with the law. From an examination of the record before us we have arrived at the conclusion that there was a substantial compliance with the law by the Board of Trustees in the matters brought to our attention by the appellant, and that the judgment should be affirmed.

¶3Judgment affirmed.
