Clause 42

Whenever it appears to the President that any land is required for temporary occupation and use for a public purpose, he may direct the Collector to procure the occupation and use of such land for such term as may be determined, but such term shall not exceed three years from the commencement of such occupation.

The Collector shall thereupon give notice in writing to the persons interested in such land of the purpose for which the same is needed, and shall for the occupation and use thereof for such term as aforesaid and for the materials, if any, to be taken therefrom pay to them such compensation, either in a gross sum of money or by monthly or other periodical payments, as shall be agreed upon in writing between him and such persons respectively.

In case the Collector and the persons interested differ as to the sufficiency of the compensation or the apportionment thereof, the Collector shall refer such difference to the decision of the Board.
