The objection is that under section 56 of the Road and Bridge act (Smith\u2019s Stat. 1923, p. 1796,) it was necessary that the meeting of the board of town auditors be held and its written consent signed before the first Tuesday in September, 1923. For the reasons given in People v. Illinois Central Railroad Co. 314 Ill. 339, the objection should have been overruled.\nThe judgment is reversed and the cause is remanded to the county court of Lee county, with directions to sustain the tax.\nReversed and remanded, with directions.",
