county taxes, general municipal taxes, and prior improvement taxes, and shall not

be defeated or postponed by any private or judicial sale, by any mortgage, or by any

property from the lien for the improvement assessment, or from payment thereof, or

from the penalties or interest thereon, as herein provided.
