Such appraisers shall file their report in duplicate with the court, or any judge thereof, within thirty days from the date of their appointment, identifying each parcel listed in such petition by its serial number. The court, or any judge thereof, in its or his discretion, may grant a reasonable extension of said thirty-day period only upon due cause being shown. When their report has been returned to and accepted by the court, it, or any judge thereof, shall determine the compensation to be paid to each of them and, if more than one municipality has joined in the proceeding, the part of such compensation each shall pay. The clerk of the court shall certify the amounts of compensation to be paid by each municipality to its treasurer, who shall pay the same. The filing of such petition in the office of the clerk of the court shall constitute the beginning of an action for the foreclosure of the tax lien or liens upon each of the parcels of real estate described.
