As soon as practicable after the valuations are made, being in no case later than 6 months before the end of the term, the Public Trustee shall cause a copy to be served upon the lessee.

Within 7 days after receipt of such copy the lessee shall, by notice in writing delivered to the Public Trustee, elect whether he will accept a fresh lease of the land for a further term equal in duration to that granted by, and (except as to the rent to be paid thereunder) upon the same terms, and subject to the same provisoes, powers, covenants, and conditions, as are contained and implied in, the lease then existing together with the right of further renewal and all other rights thereby conferred, and so from time to time at the expiration of each further or renewed term on the same terms and conditions on which the original lease may have been granted hereunder or thereunder, but subject nevertheless to the fixing as herein provided at the end of each term of the rent payable during such further or renewed term; such further term to commence on the expiration of the then existing term, and the annual rental to be equal to $5 per centum on the gross value of the land after deducting therefrom the value of the substantial improvements of a permanent character as fixed by the respective valuations aforesaid.
(4)
If the lessee does not duly elect to accept a fresh lease as above mentioned, or if, having duly elected to accept the same, he fails, refuses, or neglects to execute the fresh lease within 7 days after receiving notice in writing from the Public Trustee so to do, then a new lease of the land shall, not later than 1 month before the end of the term for which the terminating lease was granted, be put up for sale by public auction by the Public Trustee.

(7)
When the day arrives on which the terminating lease expires, or thereafter, if the Public Trustee is satisfied that the outgoing lessee has let the new lessee into quiet possession of the land, and that none of the improvements which were thereon when the valuation mentioned in this section was made have been destroyed or appreciably damaged, the Public Trustee shall pay over to the outgoing lessee the amount received by him from the incoming lessee as aforesaid.
(8)
If any of the said improvements have been destroyed or appreciably damaged as aforesaid, then the value of the improvements so destroyed, or the cost of repairing such damage, shall be decided by the Public Trustee or some person appointed by him, and the amount so fixed, with the costs attending such decision, shall be deducted from the amount payable as aforesaid to the outgoing lessee, and, save the amount deducted for costs, shall be returned to the incoming lessee.
(9)
Should no purchaser be found at such auction, then the Public Trustee may, at any time within 12 months thereafter, sell the new lease by private treaty; and if he fails to sell the same by public auction or private treaty for the space of 1 year, he may let the land for such term, at such rent, and upon such conditions as to him may seem reasonable.
