The said park commissioners or jury, who shall assess the compensation to the owners for the ground taken, shall ascertain and make compensation for buildings as well as the ground taken; but all buildings and machinery and fixtures not required by the Park Commission shall be removed by the owners thereof whenever payment of the compensation awarded them shall be made or tendered to them, and upon such payment or tender the park commissioners shall forthwith take possession of the premises.
If any owner or lessee of ground taken cannot be found, notice of the taking and valuation of his land shall be given by advertisement in two daily papers published in Philadelphia six times, and in the Legal Intelligencer twice, and the amount awarded in such case to the owner or lessee shall remain in the City Treasury until such owner shall produce the decree of the court having jurisdiction in the premises, ordering the said moneys to be paid to him or his legal representatives. 1868, April 14, P.L. 1083, Sec. 9.
