Opinion by
SHARP, C.
This case presents error from the district, court of Wagoner county. On September 25, 1909, the demurrer theretofore filed by the defendant city of AVagoner to the plaintiffs’ petition was overruled and exceptions saved, whereupon said defendant elected to stand on its demurrer. - Thereupon the court ordered the defendant J. E. Hildt to forthwith proceed to extend on its tax books all the property situated in that part of the city of Wagoner described in plaintiffs’ petition, and to certify the same to the defendant city of Wagoner, that the taxes might be collected on said property. Defendant city of Wagoner prayed an appeal, and was given fifteen days’ time in which to prepare and serve a case-made.
A purported case-made was prepared by counsel for defendant, but was not signed until the 15th day of October, 1909, and after the expiration of the fifteen, days’ time fixed by the former order of the court. The certificate of the trial judge contains the statement that the case-made was duly served in due time; but this is not sufficient, as a certificate of the trial judge to the case-made imports only the truthfulness of the pre-ceeding statement in the case-made. In the absence of any order of the court extending the time in which plaintiffs in error could serve a case-made, the trial court was confined to the time previously fixed within which to sign and allow the same, and the failure to serve within that time renders the case-made void, and this court is without jurisdiction to review any question attempted to be presented by the case-made.

It does not appear that any additional extension of time was granted, and this was indispensable to the authority of the court in signing the case-made on October 15th.
The error complained of is one arising upon the face of the record proper, which could have been considered had the appeal been brought by a transcript or had the case-made contained a certificate of the clerk as required by rule 16 of this court ( 20 Okla. x , 95 Pac. vii ). But there is a total failure of any certificate, but instead merely the attestation to the trial judge’s certificate. This is not sufficient, and we can therefore not consider the case as a transcript of the record of the court below.
