The director may, with the approval of the commissioner, sell any personal property in the possession of the State which is perishable in character and from which no revenue is derived, at public sale, after the same shall have been advertised at least ten days in a newspaper published in the city of Trenton and all persons claiming any lien or interest in such property shall take notice of the same at their peril. If any person shall thereafter establish a claim to any interest in the goods so sold according to law, the fund received from such sale shall be liable for the space of one year from the date of the sale for such interest or claim. All claims and interest in such property, other than that provided in this section, shall be forever barred. The sum realized from the sale shall, after the expiration of the period of one year, be covered into the State treasury.
