extend the school tax for the said high school district covered by the certificate. Lawrence v. Traner, 136 Ill. 474; St. Louis, Rock Island and Chicago Railroad Co. v. People, 177 id. 78; Chicago and Northwestern Railway Co. v. People, 184 id. 240. Second-The second objection urged against the tax is that it does not appear from the record that the high school district had legally decided to build a school house in the district, and it is said for that reason the tax for building purposes was illegal. The specific objection made is, that the record of the board of education does not show that the notices of the election at which the district voted to build a school house in the district were properly posted. It was shown by the record that the election was properly called and the clerk of the board was directed to give the statutory notice of the election. It also was shown by the record that the election was held and carried by a vote of 230 for and 5 against the erection of a high school building in the district. A copy of the notices of the election, which were posted in six of the most public places in the district, was introduced in evidence, and it was clearly established by parol that the notice introduced in evidence was a true copy of the notices that were posted in six public places in the township, and that a copy of such notices, duly certified by the clerk of the board to have been posted, was at one time on file in the clerk's office, but that it had been removed to be used in evidence in some of the cases which had been tried relative to the establishment of the school district and which finally reached this court, and had not been returned to the files in the clerk's office but had been lost. The evidence, we think, was therefore ample to establish the fact, if parol evidence can be introduced for that purpose, that due notice, by posting, was given of the election at which the district voted to build a school house. It is said, however, that the fact that the notices of the election were duly posted can only be established by the rec ord of the board. This we do not think is the law. (Chicago and Northwestern Railway Co. v. People, 193 Ill. 539.) There is no express statutory provision requiring the board of education to preserve record evidence of the posting of the notices of the election, (Southworth v. Board of Education, 238 Ill. 190,) and the fact that the notice and the certificate that it had been posted were on file in the clerk's office but had been removed from his office might be shown by parol. St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute Railroad Co. v. People, 225 Ill. 418; Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway Co. v. People, 212 id. 551; Forsyth v. Vehmeyer, 176 id. 359; King v. Lamon, 193 id. 537; Felix v. Caldwell, 235 id. 159. Finding no reversible error in this record the judgment of the county court will be affirmed. Judgment affirmed. INDEX. ABSTRACTS OF TITLE.
