CHAPTER 1 85.
A further additional supplement to an act, entitled, An act
for the more effectual collection of the county charges in
Allegany county.
Whereas the act to which this is a supplement, has been found
by experience to be insufficient to secure to purchasers of land sold
by the collectors for the payment of taxes in Allegany county;
therefore,
Sec. 1. Be it enacted, by the General Assembly of Maryland, That
in all cases where purchases have been made under the law to
which this is a supplement, and where decisions have not been had
in the county court, or where suits are now pending, if the pur-
chasers, their heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, do and
shall advertise in some one of the newspapers of Frederick town,
Baltimore, and the Eastern shore, as the commissioners of the tax
for Allegany count; shall direct, (in the same manner, and for the
same time, as the collectors have heretofore advertised the same,)
fully describing the land and the owners name, where it is known,
and the time of purchase, with the amount they have paid for the
same, the title acquired from the collector shall be as good and
available in law as if the sale had been made by its original and
real owner, unless the person or persons having such original and
real title shall, within two years from the date of the publication,
pay or tender to be paid to the purchaser or purchasers, his or their
assigns, the amount of the original purchase money, and all taxes
paid thereon, with ten percent, per annum; and where improve-
ments have been made thereon, the amount of the costs of such im-
provements, with six per cent, per annum, the value of such im-
provements, where the parties cannot agree, to be ascertained by
two persons chosen by said parties; each to name one man, no wise
related to him, which said two persons may choose an umpire in
case, of any difference of opinion, the award of whom shall be bind-
ing upon both parties, and effectual in law; and such purchaser or
purchasers, so advertising as aforesaid, shall lodge with the clerk
of Allegany county, notification or advertisement as aforesaid, to-
gether with the affidavit of the printers, whose duty it shall be to
record the same, which said record shall be good and sufficient
evidence that the provisions of this law have been complied with.
