Upon the filing of such certificate the corporation shall be dissolved and all its rights and franchises shall be ended. Thereupon the directors shall, as trustees for the creditors and stockholders, sell and convert into cash all its property and assets and apply the proceeds thereof to the debts of the company and the necessary expenses of the trustees and distribute any balance among the shareholders. The State Treasurer shall pay to the trustees any money of the company deposited with him when the certificate of incorporation or survey of route was filed, upon the production of a copy of the certificate of dissolution and the filing with him of an affidavit of the president, secretary and treasurer of the company that all its debts have been paid.
