The board of supervisors of Fresno *417 County, on September 6, 1890, changed the boundaries of Fresno City school district by excluding therefrom certain lands described in the complaint herein, and transferring the same to other districts. Prior to that date, the electors of the district had voted to raise the sum of six thousand dollars for the purpose of building a school-house, but the trustees of the district did not certify the fact to the supervisors until the 23d of September, 1890. Thereafter, on the first Monday of October, the supervisors, at the time of levying the county taxes, levied a tax sufficient to raise the sum thus voted upon all the property that was within the district at the time the vote was had, including the lands described in the complaint.
