Any such deed shall contain a provision that, if such lights, buildings and apparatus are not erected thereon within five years from the date of such deed, or if the government of the United States of America abandons the use of such land for such purposes, title to such land shall revert to the state.
Jurisdiction of the state over any land deeded to the United States under the provisions of this section shall be ceded to the United States, provided the state shall retain concurrent jurisdiction with the United States for the sole purpose of serving and executing thereon civil and criminal process issued under any provision of the statutes.
