LAWS OF MARYLAND.

	CHAP. 100	annum, the treasurer shall give to such person a certificate similar to the certificate given to a purchaser at the tax sale, which shall entitle him to the same rights and privileges as if he had purchased the property at the tax sale." "(h) The said treasurer shall, within thirty (30) days after the close of the sales made and hereinafter provided for,
	Report to be made.	make a full report to the circuit courts of Montgomery and Prince George's counties, of the sales made by him of the property located in each respective county, setting forth his proceedings in the premises in detail, and showing to whom, and at what price such several parcels were severally sold, the amount of tax, the interest accrued, proportional cost of advertising such sale, and the cost and expenses of making and reporting said sales, including a reasonable counsel fee, and of the surplus fund in each instance; with such report he shall also file a copy of the printed and posted list afore- said. The said courts shall examine the said proceedings, and if the same appear to be regular and the provisions of the law in relation thereto have been substantially complied with, shall order notice to be given by advestisement in such newspaper or newspapers as the court may direct, warning all persons interested in the property sold to be and appear in said court by a certain day to be named in said order, to show cause, if any they have, why said sale or sales should not be ratified and confirmed; and in those cases where no cause, or an insufficient cause be shown against such ratifi- cation, the court shall, in one order, ratify and confirm the sale or sales so made, and the purchaser or purchasers
	Clear title given.	shall, on payment of the purchase money, have a good title to the property sold; but if good cause, in the judgment of the court, be shown in the premises in relation to any parcel of said land sold, the said sale shall be set aside as to said parcel, in which case the treasurer of said town shall, within thirty (30) days, proceed to a new sale of the property and bring the proceeds into court, out of which the purchaser shall be paid the purchase money paid by him to the treas- urer on said rejected sale, and all taxes assessed on said real estate and paid by the purchaser subsequent to said sale, and costs and expenses properly incurred in said court, with interest on such sums from the time of payment, and all sums expended by such purchaser for the necessary insurance, repair and preservation of the property so sold ;
