upon any property of such delinquent he may find in the limits
of Delmar, and if personal property is levied upon, he shall pro-
ceed to sell the same after giving at least ten days' notice in
writing or by printed hand bills posted in said town, describ-
ing such personal property, and the time and place and hour
of sale. If real estate is levied upon, the collector shall give
notice of the time, place and hour of sale by advertisement in
some newspaper published in Wicomico County at least three
weeks prior to the time of sale. At the time of sale, as per
notice given, the collector shall attend in person or by author-
ized deputy, in writing, and proceed to make such sale. In
all cases the terms of sale shall be for cash. After the sale
the collector shall, in case of personal property, proceed to
distribute the proceeds of sale by retaining enough to pay all
costs and taxes, and then pay over to the proper person the
balance, if any, of the proceeds of sale. If real estate is sold,
he shall report his proceedings to the Circuit Court for
Wicomico County at the next term thereof, and the Circuit
Court may ratify or reject such report and order a new sale.
If report is ratified, the delinquent or owner of property sold
may redeem such property within six months from day of sale
by paying to the purchaser the amount paid the collector for
the property, with legal interest additional. If not so redeemed
within six months, the collector or his legal representative
shall give a deed to the purchaser, and such deed shall con-
vey all the title of the delinquent in such property so sold to
the purchaser.
