any expense to be paid after the time limited by this section,

a like nature, and not by reason of want of good faith on
the part of the applicant, the Court may, after such notice
of the application and on production of such evidence of the
grounds stated in the application and of the good faith of
the applicant and otherwise as to the Court seems fit, make
such order for allowing the authorized excuse for the failure
to make such return and declaration, or for an error or false
statement in such return or declaration, as to the Court seems

excused by the order.
(9) The date of the order, or if conditions and terms
are to be complied with, the date at which the applicant
fully complies with them, is referred to in this Ordinance
as the date of the allowance of the excuse.,
(10) The return and declaration sent in pursuance of
this Ordinance to the clerk of the Council shall be kept at

twelve months next after they are received by him be open to
inspection by any person on payment of the fee of one dollar,
