32:16-6.  Entry upon lands in advance of condemnation;  interest on award from date of entry
    When the lands or rights in lands which the Palisades Interstate Park Commission seeks to obtain for the parkway cannot be acquired by agreement with  the owner thereof, because of a disagreement as to the price to be paid, the  legal incapacity or absence of the owner, or his inability to convey valid  title thereto, or for any other cause, the commission may enter upon and take  any of such property in advance of making compensation therefor.  In any such  case, the commission, upon exercising this right and entering upon and taking  lands shall proceed without undue delay to condemn the lands so entered upon in  the manner prescribed by section 32:16-5 of this Title;  and, in any such case  the amount of the judgment in the action shall bear interest from the date of  the entry by the commission to the date of the payment of the award to the  owner or into the court, as the case may be.

     Amended by L.1939, c. 191, p. 567, s. 39;  L.1953, c. 31, p. 569, s. 18.
