A county board has no authority to direct the local treasurer as to the method he must use to collect delinquent taxes. The board may require the treasurer to continue his collection efforts after the expiration of the initial statutory one-year period, but the treasurer has the responsibility for collection, and he may adopt any lawful method which appears to him most suitable.
