tunnel; but whenever any portion of not less than three miles of said
road shall have been graded between Greenfield and Shelburne Falls, as
herein before provided, a portion of scrip, amounting to fifty thousand
dollars, shall be delivered to the treasurer of the said company; and in
case such payments shall have been previously made upon the road, the

thousand feet of tunnel shall be reduced to thirty thousand dollars for
each thousand feet of heading, and twenty thousand dollars for each
thousand feet of tunnel of the required dimensions; but no portion of
said scrip shall be delivered for any portion of said heading or tunnel,
until the corresponding portion of the road shall have been graded as is
herein before provided.
SECT. 3. Whenever the treasurer of said company shall receive any of
said scrip, he shall offer the scrip, 80 received, to the treasurer of
the Commonwealth for sale; and if the treasurer of the Commonwealth
shall so require, being thereunto authorized by law, the treasurer of
said company shall sell and dispose of the same to the treasurer of the
Commonwealth, at the fair market value thereof, to be determined by the
governor and council. If the treasurer of the Commonwealth shall decide
to buy as aforesaid, then the treasurer of the company shall forthwith
pay, to the commissioners of the sinking fund, ten per cent. on the
amount of the scrip so taken, as a sinking fund. If the treasurer of the
Commonwealth shall decide not to buy, as aforesaid, then the treasurer
of the company, within three months after the receipt of any of said

whole of said road is open for use, twenty-five thousand dollars
annually, shall be set apart from the income of said road, and paid to
said commissioners; and the whole thereof shall be added to said sinking
fund, and shall be managed; invested and appropriated, as is or shall be
provided by law in relation thereto.
