that, on or before the first day of February, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-nine, the Valuer
or Valuers appointed for or acting in each district
shall prepare, sign, and transmit to the Deputy Com-
missioner of such district a valuation list in the pre-
scribed form, setting forth to the best of his skill
and judgment the value of all lands in such district
liable to the duty by the Act now in recital imposed,
with the improvements thereon, and the value of
such lands without such improvements; together
with the names of the owners and occupiers thereof,
and the nature, situation, and extent of the property:

And whereas by section sixty-three of the said in
part recited Act it is also provided that, if any act or
thing by the said Act required to be done within a
fixed time is not done within the time appointed or
required, the Governor in Council may appoint a
further or other time for doing the same, although
the time within which the same ought to have been
done has elapsed or expired; and any act or thing
done within the time prescribed by such Order in
Council shall be as valid as if it had been done within
the time fixed by or under the said Act:

And whereas by an Order in Council dated the
fourth day of February, one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-nine, the time for making the valuation
under the said in part recited Act was extended to

said in part recited Act to be transmitted on or
before the twenty-eighth day of February, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-nine, have not
been prepared, signed, and transmitted on or before

to appoint a further time for doing the same:

Executive Council of the colony, and in pursuance
of the power and authority in me vested by "The
