Section 66. How order published and served

The order must be published and
  served in the following manner:
    1. The petitioner must cause a copy  thereof  to  be  published  in  a
  newspaper,  designated  in the order, published in the county; and also,
  if one-fourth part of the  insolvent's  debts  accrued  or  are  due  to
  creditors  residing in the city of New York, in a newspaper published in
  that city, designated in the order. The  publication  must  be  made  at
  least once in each of four weeks, immediately preceding the day in which
  cause is to be shown.
    2.  The petitioner must also serve upon each creditor, residing within
  the United States, whose place of residence is known to him, a  copy  of
  the  order to show cause, either personally, at least twenty days before
  the day when cause is to be shown, or by depositing it, at  least  forty
  days  before  that  day,  in  the  post-office,  inclosed in a post-paid
  wrapper, addressed to the creditor at his usual place of residence.
    Where the state is a creditor of the petitioner, a copy of  the  order
  must  be  served upon the attorney-general, who must represent the state
  in the subsequent proceedings.
