at least three weeks before the day of sale, the name of the party in which
the property is assessed, if known, the amount of taxes, with interests and
costs, and also a description of the property sufficient to identify the same.
Said sale shall be held at some public place in said town named in said
advertisement and shall commence at ten o'clock A. M., and shall con-
tinue until all property advertised shall be sold. The terms of each sale
shall be cash. All purchase money for said property not paid on day of
sale shall bear interest at the rate of twelve per cent, per annum from the
day of sale until paid.

In taxing the costs of said sales there shall be included the cost of adver-
tisement and a commission to the bailiff for collecting the taxes of ten
per cent, on the gross tax and a fee of one dollar.

All property which may be sold for taxes may be redeemed by the owner
within one year and one day from day of sale upon the payment by the
owner of the taxes due at time of sale, costs of sale, and interest from
day of sale at the rate of fifteen per cent, annum.

If the property so sold shall not be redeemed as above set forth, the
bailiff of the town shall, when required and upon full payment of the
purchase money and all costs and interest, execute a deed for the same
to the purchaser.

The power to convey hereby given is hereby also conferred upon the
successor or successors in office of the bailiff making the sale. Where taxes
on both real and personal property are in arrear and said real and per-
sonal property are owned by the same person, the real property shall be
sold for taxes due by said owner on his personal property as well as on
his real property.

Power is hereby given the bailiff to levy upon any personal property
upon which taxes may be due and in arrears.

Whenever there shall be default in the payment of taxes on personal
property, and the bailiff shall have levied upon the same for non-payment
of said taxes, the bailiff is authorized to sell said property at public sale
after he shall have given notice by advertisement published once a week
for two succesive weeks prior to the day of sale, in some newspaper pub-
lished in Queen Anne's County. The advertisement and costs of sale shall
be same as provided for the sale of real estate for taxes. All sales of per-
sonal property for non-payment of taxes thereon shall be made on or before
the second Saturday of February next succeeding the year for which said
taxes shall be due.
