in effect19-19. Sale to City.
When at any sale of real or personal estate for taxes any parcel shall be struck off in the name of the city for want of other bidders, as provided in s. 19-25, the city treasurer, instead of issuing a tax certificate immediately after such sale in the name of the city, shall record the date and amount of such sale of each parcel struck off in the name of the city, and the fact that such parcel was struck off in the name of the city, in the volumes or other records kept by the city treasurer evidencing outstanding and unredeemed tax sales; and such entry so made shall have the same force and effect for the purpose of evidencing the sale of such land to the city as a certificate issued immediately after the said sale of said parcel. Whenever any parcel shall be redeemed from such sale, an entry stating the fact of such redemption shall be plainly marked in the record opposite the description.
