said day of sale said Town Clerk and Treasurer shall proceed
to make sale in conformity with his said public notice. No
piece of such forfeited real estate offered for sale as afore-
said shall be sold for less than the total of the taxes, interest,
penalties and costs of sale, for which it is then liable; and if
no such bid for the same be made, it shall be withdrawn from
public sale; thereafter said Mayor and Common Council of
Mt. Rainier, Maryland, are authorized and empowered to sell
the same, at public or private sale, for such price as they may
deem advisable, and upon payment of the whole purchase
money for any parcel of forfeited real estate, sold as aforesaid,
and not before, to said Town Clerk and Treasurer for the
time being, he shall execute to the purchaser thereof a deed in
fee simple thereof. But the owner or owners of any parcel
of real estate forfeited, or forfeited and sold, as hereinbefore
provided, may, at any time prior to the actual payment of the
purchase money for such parcel of real estate by the pur-
chaser, pay to the said Town Clerk and Treasurer, for the
time being, the total of all taxes, interest, penalties and costs
of sale due and accrued to date on account of, upon and against
such parcel of real estate, and thereupon such forfeiture or
forfeiture and sale shall cease to be of any force and effect
and become null and void; and such owner 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 redemption hereby given
shall apply to any and all forfeitures and forfeitures and sales
of real estate whether heretofore occurred or hereafter to occur,,

ratified and confirmed, and whenever said Town Clerk and
Treasurer has heretofore received and receipted for the taxes,
interest, penalties and costs due upon any piece or parcel of
ground heretofore sold to the Mayor and Common Council of
Mt. Rainier, Maryland, for want of a satisfactory bid, the
forfeiture of said property shall thereupon cease as fully as
if said property, had not been sold to the Mayor and Common
Council of Mt. Rainier, Maryland. Upon such redemption
said Town Clerk and Treasurer, for the time being, shall enter
upon the proper books of his office, the date and fact of such
redemption, and shall also prepare a proper order setting
