1Opinion of the CourtJustice Carter

This appeal is brought to reverse the judgment of the county court whereby appellant’s objection to judgment against its land for a delinquent road and bridge tax of the town of Lancaster was overruled and judgment and order of sale entered. Said objection, filed in writing, as required by the statute, stated that the levy of the tax in question was void and the tax uncollectible “for the reason that the tax levy certificate is not signed by the commissioners of highways of said town, as is required by section 119 of the Road and Bridge law, said town being under the labor system.”
