any sale made for the non-payment of such assessment, and
any deed made pursuant to such sale shall be entitled to all the
presumptions as to validity that now or may hereafter attach
to sales and deeds made for default in payment of general taxes
due said town; and when any real property assessed as herein
provided for shall become liable to sale for any other assessment

if any sale made hereunder shall be set aside for failure to
comply with the terms hereof, that fact shall not bar the right
of said town to collect said assessment and enforce the lien there-
of by equitable suit as aforesaid.
