8. The Governor in Council may—
(1) fix any other day as the day before which (or as soon thereafter as may be) the valuation shall be finished; and
(2) adopt any valuation at any time existing, either wholly or in part, as the valuation for the ensuing year or any part thereof; and shall cause notice of such adoption, and of the extent thereof, to be published in the Gazette. Any existing valuation so adopted shall, for the purposes of appeal, be considered a new valuation.

10. The Assessor shall make and subscribe, in the presence of the Colonial Secretary, a declaration to the effect that the list contains a true account of all valuations made by him and that the same is, to the best of his knowledge and belief, complete and correct in every respect, and the Colonial Secretary shall deliver the list to the Accountant-General.
11.-(1) After the list has been so declared and delivered no alteration shall be made in it, except as provided by sections 23 and 25 or to correct merely clerical errors.
(2) Such errors shall be declared by the Assessor before a justice of the peace in Form No. 3 in the Schedule, which shall be submitted to the Colonial Secretary, who may approve any such correction and without whose written sanction no such correction shall be made.
