Collector shall thereupon give notice in writing to the person 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 there from, 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.

the Collector and the persons interested differ as to the sufficiency of the
compensation or apportionment thereof, the Collector shall refer such
