2. Chapter 2 of the Acts of 1911-12 of The Town Act is further hereby amended by repealing in so far as the same applies to the municipality of the Town of Macleod, sections 324 to 335 both inclusive, and substituting therefor as to the said Town of Macleod the following sections:

"326. The said advertisement shall state also the day, time and place, where and when the said lands are to be sold and shall contain a notification that unless the arrears of taxes and costs are sooner paid the secretarytreasurer will proceed to sell the lands for taxes on the day and at the place mentioned in the advertisement.

"327. All the lots liable for sale in the municipality shall be included in the same statement and notice but any neglect or omission to include any land liable for sale in said list shall not be held to invalidate the sale or prevent the sale of such omitted land in any future occasion for all arrears of taxes that may be due thereon.

"328. The day of sale shall not be more than twenty days after the last publication as hereinbefore provided and the sale shall take place at such place in the municipality as the council shall from time to time by resolution appoint and in the absence of such appointment at such place in the municipality as the secretary-treasurer in his said notice shall name.
