758 ARTICLE 3.

upon the property, value the same and lay off and have surveyed so much
thereof as in their judgment shall be sufficient to pay said assessment,
together with the costs of the examiner or examiners and the costs of the
appraisement and survey aforesaid, as well as the costs attending said
sale; but before said appraisers shall act in the matter they shall take
an oath before some justice of the peace of Baltimore County that they
will act fairly and justly in the discharge of their duties as such appraisers
(and for their services as appraisers they shall receive two dollars per
day), but if the amount of said assessment and all the costs incurred by
the examiner or examiners or surveyor and appraisers be paid before the
time fixed for the sale, then further proceedings shall cease. When any
real estate shall be sold under the provisions of this section, the sale shall
be for cash and shall be reported to the Circuit Court for Baltimore Coun-
ty or the Baltimore City Court, upon which report there shall be a brief
order nisi published as in cases of judicial sale by trustees, and if the

court shall find that the provisions of this section have been complied with,
the sale shall be ratified; and in all cases of the sale of real estate under
this subtitle of this Article, the owner thereof may redeem the same at
any time within two years from day of sale by repayment to the pur-
chaser thereof the amount paid by him with the interest thereon at a
rate of 10 per centum from the day of sale. And all assessments for bene-
fits that shall not have been paid within ninety days from the ratification
of the proceedings in the matter shall bear interest from the expiration of
said ninety days until paid and shall be collected by said examiner or
examiners with the amount assessed; and in the event of the purchaser
failing forthwith to comply with the terms of said sale, the examiner or
examiners shall resell the same at the risk of the former purchaser, giving
not less than ten days' notice in one or more newspapers published in
Baltimore County; and when the examiner or examiners shall receive
the full amount of the purchase money on such sale, the said examiner or
examiners shall execute a deed of conveyance in favor of the purchaser,
which deed shall convey a fee simple or leasehold estate in and to such
property; and after deducting the amount of assessment or such portion
of the same as may be due and unpaid, the cost of sales, advertising and
other necessary expenses, the balance shall be paid or tendered to be paid
to the person legally entitled to receive the same, and if such balance
should not be demanded of the examiner or examiners within sixty days
after the receipt of same, the said examiner or examiners shall make
application in the usual manner to have said balance deposited in the
Circuit Court for Baltimore County and all expenses of such proceeding
shall be paid out of the said balance; provided, that nothing in this sec-
tion contained shall prevent the examiner or examiners from receiving

such amount as may be assessed in different sums and installments, where
the said sums are paid voluntarily, and the said examiner or examiners

shall deem it advisable to receive such installments, but if any portion of
the amount of assessment should be paid and the person who is legally

entitled to pay the assessment should refuse to pay the balance, then said
