## Opinion text

Mr. Justice Cooke, dissenting:
I am of the opinion that the present Road and Bridge act nowhere requires the clerk to keep a record of all the official acts and proceedings of the commissioners of highways, and that in the absence of such statutory requirement, under the authority of Town of Old Town v. Dooley, 81 Ill. 255 , the commissioners are not required to keep a record of their acts and the proceedings of the commissioners may be proved by parol.
