said list from day to day if necessary, from half-past ten o'clock A. M,
to three o'clock P. M., Sundays and legal holidays excepted, until all have
been offered for sale; and on said day of sale, said County Treasurer shall
proceed to make sale in conformity with his said published notice. No
piece of such forfeited real estate offered for sale as aforesaid shall be
sold for less than the total of the taxes, interest, penalties and costs of
sale, including such tax or taxes, interest and penalties as would have
been levied upon it had it remained on said county assessment books, for
which it is then liable; and if no such bid for the same be made, it shall
be withdrawn from such public sale; thereafter said County Commis-
sioners of Prince George's County are authorized and empowered to sell
the same, at public or private sale, for such price as they may deem
advisable, and upon payment of the whole purchase money for any parcel
of forfeited real estate sold as aforesaid, and not before, to said County
Treasurer for the time being, he shall execute to the purchaser thereof
a good deed in fee simple thereof. But the owner or owners of any parcel
of real estate forfeited, or forfeited, and sold, as hereinbefore provided,
may at any time, prior to the actual payment of the purchase money for
such parcel of real estate by the purchaser, pay to said County Treasurer
for the time being, the total of all taxes, interest, penalties, and costs of
sale due and accrued to date on account of, upon and against such parcel
of real estate, including such tax or taxes, interest and penalties as would
have been levied upon it had it remained on said County assessment
books, and thereupon such forfeiture or forfeiture and sale shall cease to
be of any force and effect and become null and void; and such owner or
owners shall become revested of his, her or their former right, title, claim,
interest and demand at law or in equity of in and to such parcel of real
estate. The right of redemption hereby given shall apply to any and all
forfeitures and forfeitures and sales of real estate, whether heretofore
occurred or hereafter to occur, and any and all such redemptions hereto
fore made are hereby, ratified and confirmed; and whenever said County
Treasurer acting under a formal order in writing of said County Com-
missioners has heretofore received and receipted, for the taxes, interest,
penalties and costs due upon any piece or parcel of ground heretofore sold
to the County Commissioners, for want of a satisfactory bid, the for-
feiture of said property shall thereupon cease as fully as if said property
had not been so sold to the said County Commissioners. Upon such redemp-
tion said County Treasurer for the time being, shall enter upon the proper
books of his office and upon the report of sale relating to such parcel of
real estate redeemed, the date and fact of such redemption. Said County
Commissioners of Prince George's County are also authorized to refund
to any delinquent taxpayer or taxpayers the residue of the proceeds of
sale of his, her or their parcel of real estate heretofore or hereafter for-
feited, and sold by them as aforesaid, after deducting therefrom taxes,
interest, penalties and costs of sale due and accrued on account of, upon
and against such parcel at the time of the sale thereof by them. The
County Commissioners of Prince George's County are further authorized
to sell at public or private sale for such sum as they may deem advisable
