Municipal Corporations—Organization—Compliance with Statute —Sufficiency of Petition.—The organization of a municipal corporation is sufficiently established, where upon the face of the record of the incorporation proceedings there appears to have been a literal compliance with every statutory requirement, and the petition states everything required by the statute. The petition is not defective in omitting a statement not required that there is a “town” within the proposed boundaries.

Id.—Election upon Holiday.—Under the statute forbidding merely the transaction of certain “judicial business” on certain holidays, including Admission Day, the ordering of an election in the “proposed corporation for the purpose of determining whether the same shall become incorporated,” to be held on Admission Day, and which was held on that day, does not invalidate the election, which is not included within the statutory prohibition.

Id.—Boundaries Inclusive op Farming Land—Power op Supervisors ■—Final Determination.—Under the provisions of the Municipal Incorporation Act, that “any portion of a county containing not less than five hundred inhabitants” may become incorporated, a newly proposed municipal incorporation, including, in addition to a village containing less than five hundred inhabitants, about fifty square miles of farming land, with a total population of seven hundred, was within the power of the supervisors, who may finally determine the question whether the territory proposed to be included, should be brought within municipal control.

Id.—Posting Notices op Election—Error in Order—Compliance with Law.—Where the law only requires four notices of election to be posted within the boundaries of the municipal corporation, an error in the order of the supervisors in requiring the posting of a fifth notice at a place which was afterwards discovered to be outside of the boundaries, does not vitiate it, it appearing that a literal compliance with the order resulted in a compliance with the law.

Id.—Qualification op Signers of Petition — Number op Inhabitants—Conclusive Determination op Supervisors.—The determination of the supervisors as to qualifications of the signers of the petition as resident within the proposed boundaries, and as to the number of inhabitants therein, is final and conclusive upon those questions of fact; and their decision could only be vacated upon such a showing of extrinsic or collateral fraud as would justify the vacation of the judgment of a court of record.

Id.—Illegal Votes not Affecting Result — Mistake in Polling-Place.—Where, owing to a misconception as to the precise location of a boundary-line of the proposed corporation, five non-residents of the territory actually included voted at the election, without fraud, and the rejection of their votes as illegal would not affect the result of the election, such mistake is immaterial.

Id.—Burden op Proof—Finding as to Illegal Votes.—The burden was upon the appellant to show that other illegal votes were cast; and in the absence of such proof a finding that there were no other illegal votes than those so cast will not be disturbed.

Id.—Quo Warranto—Evidence—Mistake of Supervisors.—In an action of quo warranto to determine the validity of the municipal corporation, evidence that the supervisors mistakenly thought that the polling-place finally shown to be outside of the boundaries was within them when they heard the petition for incorporation and determined the eligibility of the signers, was properly rejected as immaterial.
