paid, liens on the real estate in respect to which they are
levied from the date they became or become payable.
94. (Collection) If such taxes, charges and assess-
ments have not been paid within two months after the
same have become overdue and in arrears, the Tax Col-
lector may proceed to enforce collection from the prop-
erty of the delinquent for the payment of the taxes,
charges and assessments thereon, by first publishing
within thirty days thereafter as an advertisement in one
newspaper published in the Town (or having a general
circulation in said Town, if there be no newspaper pub-
lished in the Town) a list of all delinquents, together with
the amount of taxes, charges and assessments due by each,
and the interest and penalty due thereon with a notice of
warning to such delinquent thereto attached that unless
payment be made in full on or before a day four (4)
months after the same may have become overdue and in
arrears, the same will be collected by process of law; and
if on the last mentioned day the said taxes, charges,
interest and penalty and advertising costs are unpaid, the
Tax Collector may proceed to sell the property of the
delinquent by complying with any of the Public General
Laws of the State of Maryland relating to the sale of
property for the non-payment of taxes. Whenever the
word "Collector" or "Treasurer of Queen Anne's County"
appears in such laws, the same shall be taken to mean
the "Collector of Taxes of the Town of Centreville", and
whenever the word "County Commissioners" appears in
such laws, the same shall be taken to mean "The Town
Commissioners of Centreville" whenever the context
thereof so requires.
95. (Additional Method of Collection) (a) In addi-
tion to the methods now relating to the sale of property
for the non-payment of taxes, whenever it shall be neces-
sary to enforce the payment of taxes levied upon personal
property, the Tax Collector may proceed in the same
manner as an owner of real estate enforcing collection of
past due rent by way of distress.
(b) The warrant of distress shall be executed by any
police officer of the Town or any constable of Queen Anne's
County, who shall proceed in the same manner now pro-
vided for the execution of a warrant of distress, except
that any notice of sale shall be by ten days previous notice
by advertisement inserted in a newspaper published in
Queen Anne's County.
