PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY. 4011

adopted by newspaper editors of Prince George's County for similar adver-
tising, then in a newspaper published in Prince George's County which
has a circulation in the town of Mt. Rainier, which notice shall state the
name of the party in whom the property is assessed, if any, the amount
of taxes due, with interest and costs, also, a description of the property
sufficient to identify the same. To such list shall be appended a notice that
on a certain day, to be named therein, said Town Clerk and Treasurer

of Mt. Rainier will at some public place in said town named in said
notice, commencing at ten o'clock A. M., proceed to offer for sale, at pub-
lic auction, to the highest bidder for cash, each of the said forfeited parcels

of real estate as the property of the Mayor and Common Council of Mt.
Rainier, Maryland, beginning with the first parcel on said list and con-
tinuing on in the order of said list from day to day, if necessary, from 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 Town Clerk
and Treasurer shall proceed to make sale in conformity with his said
public 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, pen-
alties and costs of sale, for which it is then liable; and if no such bid for
the same be made, it shall be withdrawn from public sale; thereafter said
Mayor and Common Council of Mt. Rainier, Maryland, 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 Town Clerk and Treasurer for the time being, he shall

execute to the purchaser thereof a deed in fee simple thereof. But the
owner or owners of any parcel of real estate forfeited, or forfeitued and

sold, as hereinbefore provided, may, at any time prior to the actual pay-
ment of the purchase money for such parcel of real estate by the pur-

chaser, pay to the said Town Clerk and 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, 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 heretofore made are
hereby ratified and confirmed, and whenever said Town Clerk and Treas-
urer has heretofore received and receipted for the taxes, interest, penalties
and costs due upon any piece or parcel of ground heretofore sold to the
Mayor and Common Council of Mt. Rainier, Maryland, for want of a
satisfactory bid, the forfeiture of said property shall thereupon cease as
fully as if said property had not been sold to the Mayor and Common
Council of Mt. Rainier, Maryland. Upon such redemption said Town
Clerk and Treasurer, for the time being, shall enter upon the proper
