SEC. 15 (c). The said Town Clerk and Treasurer, at the
time fixed in the advertisement of tax sale hereinabove re-
ferred to, shall attend at a place named in the advertisement
in the Town of Cheverly and offer for sale all real estate so
advertised to the highest bidder, commencing with the first

it is liable. If such a bid for the same be not made, it shall
be considered and recorded as sold to the Mayor and Town
Council of Cheverly for the total amount thereof. In such
case it shall remain on the assessment books of the Mayor and
Town Council of Cheverly and be taxed as other property
thereon, but not resold at the succeeding annual tax sale. A
