If the proper authority of the state, or a municipal or other subdivision thereof, applying for a grant of lands under section 12:3-33 of this title, shall be unable or unwilling to pay the price fixed by the board for such lands, the board may grant to such authority a revocable lease of or permit to use the lands for a public park, place, street or highway or dock purpose for a nominal consideration until such time as the board shall decide to make a grant in fee of the lands to such proper authority, or to other grantees, for such consideration as the board may determine to be adequate compensation for such lands.

The revocable lease or permit may contain a provision that if the same shall be revoked and the lands in question granted to a grantee other than such proper authority, the new grantee shall pay, as a condition of his grant, the cost of any improvement that may have been constructed upon the lands which were the subject of the revocable lease or permit.
