Prom an examination of the record we think the statute has been substantially' complied with. We see no reason why the legislative ratification is not substantially sufficient. Board of Education v. Comrs., 183 N. C., p. 302; Construction Co. v. Brockenbrough, 187 N. C., p. 77; Storm v. Wrightsville Beach, 189 N. C., at p. 683.

We can find no prejudicial or reversible error. The judgment below is

Affirmed.
