The certificate of publication of the commissioner\u2019s notice of the assessment, is as follows:\n\u201c This certifies that the appended assessment notice has been published in the Chicago Republican, the corporation newspaper of the city of Chicago, county of Cook and State of Illinois, six days consecutively, (excepting Sundays and holidays,) commencing with September 24, 1868.\u201d\n\u201cGeo. Williston, Publisher.\u201d\nThe statute requires the certificate to state the number of times which the notice shall have been published, and the dates of the first and last papers containing the same. No particular language is requisite to a compliance with the statute, providing the certificate contain such dates and facts as that the court can determine from them the dates of the first and last papers containing the notice.\nIf we can determine by this certificate the date of the first paper, we certainly can not that of the last, because we can not know how many, or what days, the publisher regarded as holidays.\nThe questions as to what defenses may be made, upon an application for judgment upon the collector\u2019s report, are discussed and decided in the case of Creote v. The City of Chicago, 56 Ill. 422.\nThe judgment must be reversed and the cause remanded.\nJudgment reversed.",
