The secretary shall, within six months after the date on which he takes possession of any institution as receiver, determine whether or not to liquidate the business and property and distribute the assets of the institution. If he shall determine to liquidate, he shall forthwith, under the seal of the department, prepare, in duplicate, a supplement to the certificate of possession, setting forth this fact. He shall file the original supplement in his office in Harrisburg and the duplicate in the office of the prothonotary. He shall then proceed to liquidate the affairs of the institution with as much dispatch as shall appear to be expedient under the circumstances.
