notation upon the books and records of the county treasurer that all

delinquent taxes assessed and charged against the lands, and all tax

certificates and tax deeds based upon delinquent taxes, are canceled

proper county treasurer, shall ipso facto cancel all delinquent

taxes on the real estate involved, and shall likewise cancel all
