with a warrant under the hand of said Treasurer thereto affixed, commanding me to proceed
and collect the several sums of money therein expressed of the persons and estates liable
therefore; and

interest in said estate appearing on the records of said town of Charlestown, which notices
were duly served twenty days previous to said date of sale; and
WHEREAS, no person appearing to redeem said estate or to pay said tax, I, in my
capacity as Collector as aforesaid, did on the 5th day of October, A. D. 1935, at two o'clock,
P. M. in the Town Clerk's office in said town of Charlestown, pursuant to said notices and
