 have done. If the latter course is chosen, before the execution of the 
 order of the board is begun, it shall cause a citation to issue, and be 
 served upon the persons responsible, if residing within the jurisdiction 
 of the board, but if not, shall cause it to be mailed by registered letter 
 to such person, if the, address is known or can be found by ordinary 
 diligence. If the address cannot be found, the board shall cause the

 time, to furnish them, the board shall grant such time. If no promise 
 is made, or kept, the board shall furnish the material and labor, cause

 be paid as other taxes are paid. (R. S. Sec. 2124.)

 sonable but fixed time. A person failing to comply with such order,
