offices. The Commission shall forthwith pay to the property owners,
whose property is to be taken as shown on the aforementioned plats
or maps or into the circuit court of the county or the Superior Court
of Baltimore City, as the case may be, in whichever jurisdiction the
property is located, such amount as the Commission has theretofore
determined to represent the fair value of said property accompanied
by a petition stating the name or names and addresses of the prop-
erty owners, the location of the property and the fair market value
of the land and property rights to be obtained as determined by the
Commission, Upon the payment of said amount into court or to the
property owner and the recording of the plats or maps as aforesaid,
the Commission may thereupon take possession of the property
designated on the above mentioned plats or maps for the purpose
of proceeding with the contemplated highway construction, and
said construction shall proceed without any delay caused by the
property owner. Any privately or publicly owned utility company
or commission may, with the permission of and under the super-
vision of the Commission, install its utility facilities in the area being
acquired IN FEE SIMPLE by the Commission as shown on such
plats or maps. However, if a dwelling house or commercial establish-
ment is required to be taken the resident or occupant thereof shall
not be required to vacate said building until said property has been
condemned in the appropriate court and an inquisition returned by
the jury as provided by law, unless the Commission and the owner
otherwise agree.

When said sum is so paid into court the property owner upon
written request to the clerk of the said court shall be entitled to re-
ceive the said sum without prejudice to any of said property owner's
rights if the said property owner agrees to pay back to the Com-
mission the difference between the said sum and the final award, if
said final award be less than the sum paid into court; such payment
to the property owner or into court, however, shall in no wise limit
the amount to be allowed under subsequent condemnation proceed-
ings hereinafter provided, and the Commission shall make payment
to the owner or owners of said land and property rights, from any
funds in its possession or under its control, any further sum that
may subsequently be finally awarded in subsequent condemnation
proceedings, including interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per
