any city, village or |

| incorporated town interested in the collection of any tax
or |
| 23 |
| special assessment, may, in default of bidders, withdraw from |
| 24 |
| collection the

| 26 |
| incorporated town. In case of a withdrawal, there shall be
no |
| 27 |
| sale of that property on account of the delinquent special |
| 28 |
| assessment
thereon.
