such delinquent he may find in the limits of Delmar, and if personal
property is levied upon, he shall proceed to sell the same after giving at
least ten days' notice in writing or by printed hand bills posted in said
town, describing such personal property, and the time and place and hour
of sale. If real estate is levied upon, the collector shall give notice of the
time and place and hour of sale by advertisement in some newspaper pub-
lished in Wicomico County at least three weeks prior to the time of sale.
At the time of sale, as per notice given, the collector shall attend in person
or by authorized deputy, in writing, and proceed to make such sale. In
all cases the terms of sale shall be for cash. After the sale the collector
shall, in case of personal property, proceed to distribute the proceeds of
sale by retaining enough to pay all costs and taxes, and then pay over to
the proper person the balance, if any, of the proceeds of sale. If real
estate is sold, he shall report his proceedings to the Circuit Court for
Wicomico County at the next term thereof, and the Circuit Court may
ratify or reject such report and order a new sale. If report is ratified, the
delinquent or owner of property sold may redeem such property within
six months from day of sale by paying to the purchaser the amount paid
the collector for the property, with legal interest additional. If not so re-
deemed within six months, the collector or his legal representative shall
give a deed to the purchaser, and such deed shall convey all the title of
the delinquent in such property so sold to the purchaser.

The Commissioners may allow such commission or sum to the collector
for collecting taxes as they may deem right and proper, and on the amount
of sales of any property, the collector shall be entitled to charge a com-
mission of ten per centum on amount of taxes the property is sold for.

In addition to the remedy above provided for the enforcement of the
taxes so levied, the collector may, in the name of "The Commissioners of
Delmar," by suit and execution, enforce the payment and collection of
taxes in the manner and to the same extent as debts due and owning indi-
viduals are now or may hereafter be collected by process of law, and these
provisions shall apply to all taxes now levied and uncollected, and the same
be collected as herein provided.
