 conveyance to be received by the forest commission, and executed in pursuance 

 or under the authority of this Act, shall be made to the people of the State of 

 New York as grantee, and shall be recorded in the proper county or counties, and

 upon the certificate of the forest commission and the audit of the comptroller
