1929, ch. 556, sec. 39.

840. Whenever any real estate shall have been bought in, as herein
provided, by the Mayor and City Council of North Brentwood, at any
tax and/or assessment sale made under the provisions of this Act and
the same shall not have been redeemed within the time provided for the
redemption thereof, and not set aside by the Court for defects in the
levying of such taxes, or the making of such assessments, the said Mayor
and City Council, as an additional and cumulative means of enforcing the
payment of taxes and/or special assessments, interest, penalties and costs
against real estate, which have accrued prior to the date of this Act, or
which shall thereafter accrue, and in no wise in derogation of the remedy
hereby given, may, within six months after the time of redemption has
expired, file a plenary proceeding in equity in the Circuit Court for Prince
George's County, Maryland, to reaffirm and finally establish a lien upon
said respective pieces of real estate so sold to it, for the taxes and/or assess-
ments, interest, penalties and costs so assessed, and charged against the-
same and to obtain a decree for the enforcement thereof. The owner or
owners of each piece of real estate upon which such taxes and/or assess-
ments, interest, penalties, and costs are sought to be enforced, shall be
made parties defendant in said suit, and, if residents of the State of
Maryland, shall be personally served with process, and if non-residents,
shall be served with process by publication, as is provided by law.

The said Court is hereby given jurisdiction to hear and determine such
causes, establish such liens and decree the enforcement thereof. If said
Court shall determine that said taxes and/or assessments were legally
levied or made by said Mayor and City Council, any defect or irregularity
in the tax and/or assessment sale or in the proceeding upon the report
thereof, shall not be a defense to any of such suits. All such decrees shall
be enforced in the same manner as decrees of said Court are authorized
to be enforced by law.
