Newspapers Defined. Section 375, Code of Iowa, as amended, provides as follows: "Each municipality shall file with the secretary or clerk thereof the estimates required to be made in the five preceding sections at least twenty (20) days before the date fixed by law for certify. ing the same to the levying board and shall fordiwith fix a date for a hearing thereon, and shall publish such estimates with a notice of the time when and the place where such hearing shall be held at least ten (10) days before the hearing. For a county, such publication shall be in the official newspapers thereof. For any other municipality such publication shall be in a newspaper published therein, if any, if not, then in a newspaper of general circulation therein. Levies Void Unless Notice Is Publislied.
