published notice. No piece of such forfeited real estate offered
for sale as aforesaid shall be sold for less than the total of
the taxes, interest, penalties and costs of sale, including such
tax or taxes, interest and penalties as would have been levied

of the whole purchase money for any parcel of forfeited real
estate sold as aforesaid, and not before, to said County Treas-

of sale due and accrued to date on account of, upon and
against such parcel of real estate, including such tax or taxes,
interest and penalties as would have been levied upon it had

or owners shall become revested of his, her or their former
right, title, claim, interest and demand at law or in equity
of in and to such parcel of real estate. The right of redemp-
tion hereby given shall apply to any and all forfeitures and
forfeitures and sales of real estate, whether heretofore occurred
or hereafter to occur, and any and all such redemptions here-
