Where in accordance with this Part a local authority has itself abated or removed a nuisance or done what is necessary to prevent a recurrence thereof, and no owner or occupier of the premises appears or pays the expenses thereby incurred or can be found within six months after the completion of the abatement or removal of the nuisance, the Court of a Magistrate of the First Class may order the premises upon which the work shall have been done, or any part thereof, or any movable property found thereon, to be sold by public auction, and the amount realized by such sale shall be applied in defraying the expenses, and the balance (if any) paid over to the owner or occupier if he shall establish his claim thereto within two years after the date of such sale, failing which such balance shall become part of the revenue of the local authority.
