eighty-one; and, with the like advice and consent, do
hereby order that such valuation list shall be de-
posited, lie open for inspection, public notice be

valuation list and take copies thereof, and make
objections thereto, as provided by the said Act, from
the twenty-ninth day of January, one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-one, to the first day of March,

do hereby, with the like advice and consent, extend
the time accordingly.
