Section 14. Collector may remove buildings, & c. at the cost of the owners, in case they neglect to do so themselves

If, on the expiration of the above stated period, the houses, lints, or other buildings shall have not been previously removed, the Collector shall cause the same to be removed or levelled; and if any expense be incurred in removing or levelling the same, the Collector may sell the materials at public auction in order to defray the charge, delivering any surplus that may remain to the owner.
