The county auditor is authorized to draw his warrant upon such funds whenever there is any amount to the credit of such cities, towns, villages and independent school districts, without an order of the Board of County Commissioners, and such warrants shall be payable to the

treasurers of such cities, towns, villages and independent school districts, for the taxes, costs and penalties for which any property included in such certificate was sold, according to their several interests, together with the interest thereon that may be due, and deliver the same; charging the treasurers therewith in such several funds.

In all cases where real estate has been or may hereafter be sold for delinquent taxes, and the county has become the purchaser and a tax deed has issued to the county, and the time for redemption, as herein before provided, has passed and the county has not disposed of such real estate, the person whose estate has been or may hereafter be sold or his heirs, executors, administrators, or other successors in interest, at any time after the time of purchase thereof by the county, and before the county has disposed of the same, has the right to redeem such real estate by paying to the county treasurer of the county wherein the real estate is situated the amount of taxes due thereon at the time of said sale, with interest thereon at the rate of ten per cent per annum; and also all taxes that were a lien upon said real estate at the time said taxes became delinquent; and also for each year since the sale for which taxes on said land have not been paid, an amount equal to the percentage of state and county tax for that year, upon the value of said real estate to be assessed at time of redemption by the assessor and collector for each year subsequent to the year of sale, with interest from the first day of January of each of said years respectively, at the same rate; and also all costs and expenses, which may have accrued by reason of such delinquency and sale, and the costs and expenses of such redemption, as hereinafter specified.

Whenever property sold to the county, pursuant to the pro
