Charges shall be made and collected for deposit into the treasury of the State.

From time to time the governor shall pay from the general fund to each company whose property has been appropriated just compensation for the appropriation and use of its property. If any company is unwilling to accept the amount determined by the governor as full and complete compensation for appropriation and use, the company shall be paid fifty per cent of the amount so determined by the governor and shall be entitled to sue the State, in the manner provided in chapter 661 for such additional sum as, when added to the sum already received by the company, shall constitute just compensation for the appropriation and use of its property; provided that the suit shall be instituted within three months after the termination of the appropriation and use.
