pany the account shall be audited by the public service commission, which shall by order fix and determine the amount to be paid by the railroad company, which amount shall bear interest from the date of such order. § 118. Amount to be assessed and levied if not paid. If such amount shall not be paid by the railroad company the municipality shall assess and levy the same upon the taxable property of the railroad company situate within its tax district, in the next tax levy, and the same shall be collected as are other taxes upon said property. § 119. May be paid in installments in certain cases. In case the amount to be paid by the railroad company exceeds the sum of five thousand dollars, the company may elect to pay the same in equal annual installments, not exceeding ten in number, with interest. Such election shall be evidenced by a resolution of its board of directors, a certified copy of which shall be filed with the municipality. The amount due from the railroad company shall thereupon become a lien upon the property of the company to the same extent as a tax actually levied and assessed, and the installments, together with interest upon the whole amount, shall be inserted in the tax-roll each year for collection. § 119-a.
