The county board of taxation shall, in each year, estimate the sum of money which the municipality would have derived during said year as tax revenue for local purposes from such lands, if the same were not exempt from taxation, as soon as practicable after the receipt of such certificate and shall forthwith certify such amount to the clerk of the municipality and to the State Department of Taxation and Finance and the State Department of Taxation and Finance shall transmit copies of said certificate to the Governor forthwith and to the chairmen of the Appropriation Committees of the Senate and General Assembly during the first week of the session of the Legislature held in the next ensuing calendar year, to the end that there may be appropriated by the Legislature to such municipality a sum to compensate such municipality for the loss of revenue occasioned by reason of the exemption from taxation of such lands.
