You will perceive that the fourth
section of the chapter authorizes the
lists and notice to be advertised III
some cDarenieRt newspaper, when or
dered by he court OF the county oi
corporation in which such real estat.
lies. The expense OF advertising iSt"
be apportioned by you among the
delinquruts according to the amour.
OF taxes due by them respectively.
The law does not authorize the Al
ditor of Public Accounts to furnish.
the blank forms for the treasurers Il.
make the copies of the lists required
to te made hy them by said section.
The owners OF delinquent lan,i>
generally reside beyond the limits ..
the county wherein the lands ar,
situated, SO that :, copy OF the lisi
''set ups at the front door Of th
courthouse of the comfy. and at two
ether most public places in the
county, is not very well calculated 70
give notice to those who would re-
deem the land. or hecome comI,e itor>
at the sale. ] would recommend that
you bring the matter to the atten
ton of your court, that the proprietN
of publishing the lists and notice in
some eoRren,e nt Newspaper may be
considered.
In the list sent you is contained ali
the real estate returned delinquent

it. You will also strike OFT all lands
which may be redeemed b, paynen,
to ,uu before the day OF sale.
AS the act OF Assembly directing
the sale OF these lands was passed al
a late day, April ?, the lists conld
not be prepared and sent out sooner,
and consequently | do not suppose,
that any sale can be had before De-
eemt~r court.
