Section 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That the treasurers of the several counties in this commonwealth, shall be, and they are hereby respectively authorized and directed, to commence on the second Monday in June, in the year one thousand eight hundred and sixteen, and at the expiration of every two years thereafter, and adjourn from day to day if it shall be found necessary so to do, and make public sale of the whole or any part of such tracts of unseated lands, situate in the proper county, as will pay the arrearages of the taxes, any part of which shall then have remained due and unpaid for the space of one year before, together with all costs necessarily accruing by reason of such delinquency, and to make and execute a deed or deeds, in fee simple, in the manner directed by the act to which this is a further supplement; and in one other newspaper in or nearest to the county where such lands lie, under the penalty of fifty dollars, in each and every case, to be recovered by the owner or owners of the land sold as aforesaid, as debts of like amount are by law recoverable, but the neglect of such treasurer to cause the said publications to be made, shall not, in any case, invalidate any sale made in pursuance of the provisions of this act.
