accepted for filing if it is not accompanied by the economic

filed at the same time.
  ' (2) Within 10 days after the date a petition is offered for
filing, the county clerk or district secretary, as the case may

by the requisite number of qualified signers. In the case of a
petition required or permitted to be signed by landowners, within
10 days after the date a petition is offered for filing, the
county assessor shall examine the petition and determine whether
it is signed by the requisite number of qualified landowners. If
the requisite number of qualified signers have signed the
petition, the county clerk or district secretary shall file the
petition. If the requisite number have not signed, the county
clerk or district secretary shall so notify the chief petitioners
and may return the petition to the petitioners.
  ' (3) A petition shall not be filed unless the certificate of
the county clerk or the district secretary is attached thereto
certifying that the county clerk or district secretary has
compared the signatures of the signers with the appropriate
records, that the county clerk or district secretary has
ascertained therefrom the number of qualified signers appearing
on the petition, and that the petition is signed by the requisite
