be made; but if at any time thereafter any person shall pay to
the town the amount of the taxes, penalties and costs to date,
together with all taxes, general and special, which may have
become due thereon after the date of the sale, with interest at
ten (10) per centum per annum, the clerk shall give to such
person a certificate similar to the certificate given to a pur-
chaser at the tax sale, which shall entitle him to the same rights
and privileges as if he had purchased the property at the tax

close of the sales made and herein provided for make a full
report to the Circuit Court of Montgomery County of the sale
made by him of the property located in said county and town,
setting forth his proceedings in the premises in detail, and

showing to whom and at what price such several parcels were
severally sold, the amount of tax, the penalty, interest accrued,
proportional cost of advertising such sale, and the cost and

expense of making and reporting said sale, including a reason-
able counsel fee, and of the surplus fund in each instance; and
with such report he shall also file a copy of the printed and
advertised list aforesaid. The said court shall examine the said
proceedings and if the same appear to be regular and the pro-
visions of law in relation thereto have been substantially com-
plied with, shall order notice to be given by advertisement in
such newspaper or newspapers as the court may direct, warning
all persons interested in the property sold to be and appear in
said court by a certain day to be named in said order, to show
cause, if any they have, why said sale or sales should not be
ratified and confirmed; and in those cases where no cause or an
insufficient cause be shown against such ratification the court
shall, in one order, ratify and confirm the sale or sales so made,
and the purchaser or purchasers shall, on payment of the pur-
chase money, have a good title to the property sold; but if good
cause, in the judgment of 'the court, be shown in the premises
in relation to any parcel of said land, the said sale shall be set
aside as to the said parcel, in which case the clerk of said town
shall, within thirty (30) days, proceed to a new sale of the
property and bring the proceeds into court, out of which the
purchaser shall be paid the purchase money paid by him to the
clerk on the said sale rejected, and all taxes assessed on said
real estate and paid by the purchaser subsequent to said sale
and cost and expenses properly incurred in said court, with
interest on such sums from the time of payment, and all sums
