Monday in April of each year real estate is advertised to be
sold for such taxes. Each piece of real estate so advertised
for sale shall bear a charge of Twenty-five Cents ($.25) to
cover the costs of verifying the name or names, or the owner
or owners, of such real estate, provided that where more
than two pieces of real estate are owned by the same owners,
there shall be one charge of Seventy Cents ($.70), and when
real estate has been sold under this Act and has not been
redeemed before the issuance of the order of publication here-
inafter provided, there shall be an additional Seventy Cents
($.70) charged to each piece of real estate so sold and un-
redeemed, provided, that where two or more pieces of real
estate are owned by same owner or owners, there shall be
but one charge of Seventy Cents ($.70) upon such pieces of
real estate, and these charges shall be included in the report
of sale of the Treasurer of the Town of Hillside as a charge
upon such real estate.

The said Treasurer, at the time fixed in the advertisement
of tax sale hereinabove referred to, shall attend at such place
in the said Town of Hillside, as may be designated by the
Hillside Commission, and offer for sale all real estate so
advertised to the highest bidder, commencing with the first
piece of real estate listed in said advertisement and contin-
uing to conduct said sale until all of the real estate so adver-
tised shall have been offered for sale. Said sale shall com-
mence at ten o'clock A. M. on the first Monday in April of
each year and continue until three o'clock P. M., from day
to day, Sundays and legal holidays excepted, until all the
real estate so advertised to be sold shall have been offered
for sale.

No piece of real estate offered at tax sale by said Treasurer
shall be sold for less than the total of the taxes, interest,
penalties and costs of sale for which it is liable. If such a
bid for the same be not made, it shall be considered recorded
as sold to the Hillside Commission for the total amount
thereof. In such case, it shall remain on the assessment
books of the Hillside Commission and be taxed as other prop-
erty thereon, but not resold at the succeeding annual tax
