The Board of Public Works shall, within sixty (60) days after the date of such delinquency, begin the publication of a Notice of Sale of the property upon which the assessment have not been paid, which publication shall be made by two insertions in a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the City of Los Angeles. The date fixed for the sale of the property upon which assessments have not been paid, shall be not less than twenty (20) days from the date of the first publication of said Notice of Sale. The Notice of Sale so published shall constitute the delinquent list and contain a description of each lot or parcel of land delinquent, and opposite each description the name of its owner, if known, otherwise designating him as unknown, and the amount of the assessment, penalties and costs due, including the cost of advertisement. Said Board shall append to and publish with said delinquent list, a notice that unless each assessment delinquent, together with the penalties and costs thereon, is paid, the property upon which each assessment is a lien, will be sold at public auction, at a time and place to be specified in said notice.
At any time after such delinquency and prior to the sale of any parcels of land assessed and delinquent, any person may pay the assessment thereon, together with the penalties and costs due thereon, including the cost of advertising, if such payment is made after the publication of Notice of Sale.
At the time and place fixed in said notice, the Board of Public Works shall proceed with such sale, commencing at the head of the list of lands contained in such notice and continuing in the numerical order thereof, until all property is sold; provided, that said Board may postpone, or continue, the sale from day to day until the sale is completed. The Board of Public Works shall separately sell each parcel of land described in said notices, or so much thereof as shall be necessary to realize the amount assessed against the same, including the penalties and costs aforesaid and $7.00 for a Certificate of Sale. In case there is no other purchaser, the same shall be struck off to the City as purchaser, or the City may bid thereon in the interests of the property owners, to the exclusion of all other bidders.
