cases where there is no town col

shall proceed to collect the taxes

there be. stating when and where
he will be prepared to receive such,
at one or more places in each town
ship, which said notice shall be pun
lished at the first publication of such
newspaper after the delivery to sucb
collector of the tax books, and I'M
mediately upon the receipt of such
tax books, the said collector snail
cause to be posted in one or more
of the most public places in each
township in counties under town
ship organization and in each pre-
cinct in counties not under township
