reduced from 4 to 3 mills, and the
amount which county courts may de-
signate for county purposes was in

make the tax on real estate lien upon

lector by the County Court, and the
collector shall make to the county a
certificate similar to that given to other
purchasers, and shall. be deemed q sale
20 the county, and shall have the same
effect as sale made to an individual.

act Zone year,. the County Court shall
sell the same. and pay the proceeds of
