In case the sum tendered under section 60-06-03 is not accepted and the parties cannot agree upon the amount to pay for such right, privilege, and easement, the same shall be ascertained, assessed, and determined by proceedings in the district court of the county in which the station or siding at which the right, privilege, and easement sought is situated. Such court at all times shall be deemed open and in session for the purposes of this chapter. Any person, firm, corporation, or limited liability company to whom application is made for the right to erect and maintain an elevator or warehouse under the provisions of this chapter, within ten days after the receipt of the application, shall notify the applicant in writing of the acceptance or rejection of the amount offered as compensation for the right, privilege, and easement sought to be acquired. Failure to notify the applicant within such time shall be deemed an acceptance of said amount but whether it is accepted or not, the applicant for the site shall be deemed to have acquired the right, privilege, and easement asked for.
