comply with the provisions of this Act, said sale shall be set
aside, and said town clerk shall at once proceed to make a new
sale of the property. Upon the ratification of a tax sale under
this Act the town clerk shall convey to the purchaser the
property purchased by him upon the payment of the costs of
such deed by the purchaser; and the bond of the town clerk
shall be liable for the purchase money paid by the purchaser
with interest thereon if the sale be not ratified, and for all
costs and expenses accruing from said sale. The town clerk
shall retain out of the proceeds of the sale, when ratified,
the amount of taxes and interest thereon, and all costs
incurred in advertising, making, reporting and ratifying such
sale, and shall pay over the excess to the owner of the
property thus sold; and no sale under this Act shall be set
aside if the provisions thereof relating to sales shall appear
to have been substantially complied with, and the burden of
proof to show any non-compliance with said provisions shall
be on the exceptant thereto; when any sale shall have been
finally ratified by the court, as herein provided, the order of
ratification shall be conclusive as to the regularity of the
town clerk's proceedings therein of said sale, and shall not
be open to inquiry, except in case of collusion in said pro-
ceedings and sale between the town clerk and the purchaser,
or of fraud on the part of either of them.
