tisement once a week for three successive weeks in at least one
newspaper published in the county and by printed hand bills
publicly posted at the Court House door and at least ten places
in the district where the property is located, one of such notices
to be placed upon the premises. Any advertised notice of sale
in the counties shall be deemed sufficient if it contains the
house and place, the year or years for which taxes are due, to
whom assessed, the district where located, the quantity of land,
if there be recorded evidence thereof and a reference to the
book or folio where the deed for said property may be found,
and the date of the deed. In Baltimore City, the advertisement
shall give the name and street number, if any, of the real estate
and with substantial accuracy the frontage and depth of the
lot, to whom last assessed, the year or years for which taxes
are due and the amount thereof. In no case shall a description
by metes and bounds be necessary nor shall a greater amount
than four dollars be paid for any newspaper advertisement as
to each piece of property advertised. In the counties, when-
ever real estate is susceptible of division so that a part thereof
will sell for enough to pay the taxes due, interest, penalties and
all costs, the Collector may, in his discretion, employ a sur-
veyor to divide the same and tax as a part of the costs such
compensation for the surveyor's services as may be just, not
exceeding the sum of five dollars, and in Baltimore City, when-
ever it shall be necessary to properly describe property, the
City Collector shall procure a description from the land records
and no survey shall be made unless a proper description cannot
be obtained from the Land Records, and when a survey is
necessary the City Collector shall direct the City Surveyor to
make a proper survey, furnish a description and plat to the
Collector for a charge not exceeding three dollars, the same to
be taxed as part of the costs. The power under this section
to sell real estate of a delinquent taxpayer for non-payment
of taxes, State, county or city, shall exist notwithstanding the
existence of personal property of the delinquent. The require-
ment of newspaper advertising in this section shall be the min-
imum requirement, and wherever local laws in the counties re-
quire additional and/or different newspaper advertising, such-
provisions shall also be complied with.

73. When any parcel or parcels of ground, improved or
unimproved, shall be chargeable with payment of taxes and
such parcel or parcels of ground be subject to a ground rent
or lease for a term of years, renewable forever, it shall be the
