now provided for by law. (c) The notice of the sale shall
state the time and place of sale, the name or names of persons
to whom each piece of property is assessed and the total
amount of taxes, penalties and costs due from such persons
computed to the day of sale; sub-divided property shall be
designated by lot, block and sub-division; property not sub-
dived shall be briefly described so as to identify the land to

week for three successive weeks in some newspaper pub-
lished in the town, if any such there be, and the last day of
publication shall be at least three days before the day of
sale; if there be no newspaper regularly published in the
town as often as once a week, or if the proposed charges for
publication shall be deemed excessive by the Council, then
notice shall be printed and posted up in at least five con-
spicuous places in the town for three weeks before the day
of sale, and no other notice shall be required. (e) The
treasurer shall continue to receive such taxes as are tendered

shall, at the time and place designated in his notice, offer
for sale by public auction to the highest bidder so much of
the real estate advertised or posted in the name of each
delinquent taxpayer as shall be necessary to pay the taxes,
penalties and costs due from him, and shall continue the
sale from day to day until all the taxes are paid or until
each piece of property has been sold; where the real estate
advertised or posted as aforesaid shall consist of more than
one parcel assessed to any one delinquent, such parcels,
where it is practicable to do so, shall be offered singly until
enough has been realized to pay the whole of the tax bill,
