date when they become due and payable, and between the 15th
day of January and the 1st day of February, the County
Treasurer may or may not in his discretion cause to be pub-
lished as an advertisement in two newspapers printed and
published in said County a list of such delinquents, together
with the amount of taxes due by each and the interest due
thereon and he shall deliver or mail to each of said delinquents
at their last known address between the 15th day of February
and the 1st day of March in each year an account of his assess-
ments and the taxes and interest due thereon, with a notice
of warning to such delinquents thereto attached that unless
payment be made in full on or before the 1st day of April
next the same will be collected by process of law; and if on said
first day of April next the said taxes, interest and penalties
are unpaid, he shall immediately thereafter make up for his
own use in enforcing collection of said taxes a list of all de-
linquents assessed with real estate, giving the name of the
person assessed, with a brief description of the property, the
District of its location, and such other references as will render
the same possible of identification, together with the amounts
of taxes due and in arrears thereon, including all taxes on
personalty due from the owner of said real estate, with in-
terest, costs and expenses accrued; and the said County Treas-
urer shall forthwith proceed to seize, levy upon, advertise
and sell the property of said delinquent, or so much thereof
as may be necessary to pay said taxes, interest, charges,
penalties and costs of sale, to the highest bidder for cash,
which said sale shall be made after said property has been
advertised at least three consecutive weeks in one or more news-
papers published in Caroline County prior, to the day of said
sale and said Treasurer is hereby required and directed to ad-
vertise and sell at one sale in the month of June all the prop-
erty sold in any one fiscal year and said sale shall continue
from day to day on each secular day, legal holidays excepted,
until all of said property so advertised is sold, it being the
intention and purpose of this Section that the Treasurer shall
include in one advertisement and embrace in one sale all the
real estate sold by him in any one fiscal year.

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act is hereby
declared to be an emergency law and necessary for the im-
mediate preservation of the public health and safety, and
having been passed by a yea and nay vote, supported by three-
fifths of all the members elected to each of the two Houses of
the General Assembly, the same shall take effect from the date
of its passage.
