(a) whenever the value of tenement is affected by the value of another tenement contiguous to it or separated only by a roadway, and both tenements are owned by the same person, the two tenements may be valued together; and

(b) when two or more tenements are so built that their floors overlap or are intermixed, they may be valued as one tenement, the rates being charged against any one of the owners, who may be required to adjust their respective shares of payment of such rates amongst themselves.

6. Any owner of a tenement occupied by himself for which no rent passes, or any owner of more than ten tenements, may, within ten days from the service on him of the requisition in the prescribed form as provided by section 4, apply in writing to the Commissioner for an extension of the time allowed for returning such form, stating his reasons for the application, and the Commissioner may grant such extension of time, not exceeding an additional twenty-eight days, as to him may appear reasonable.

7. The Commissioner shall make in each year, before the 31st day of January or soon thereafter as may be, a valuation of the tenements in the Colony, or of such part thereof as the Governor in Council may by order signified in the Gazette direct.

8. The Governor in Council may-

(a) by order signified in the Gazette fix any other day as the day before which (or as soon thereafter as may be) the valuation shall be finished; and

(b) 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.

9. As soon as the said valuation is completed the Commissioner shall make out a list of the several tenements assessed and of their respective valuations and shall deliver the same to the Colonial Secretary.
