be prescribed and regulated by the Mayor and Common Council, to hold

173. The treasurer immediately upon receiving the assessment and
rate of taxes shall give notice, posted in not less than three public places
in the town and by two weekly insertions in at least one or not more than
two town or county newspapers, as the Mayor shall designate, of the time
and place where he will collect and receive the same; and after he has
given the notice as directed by this section then, as to all those who fail
to pay their taxes on or before the same are in arrears as prescribed in
this Act, it shall only be necessary for him, after obtaining an order from
the Mayor and Common Council so authorizing him, to sell real or per-
sonal property for the payment of any taxes then remaining due and un-
paid, it being the intent and meaning of this section to require all per-
sons, body politic and corporate, owing taxes to the town to pay the same
to the treasurer at such place and time as he may designate in said town.
