1    Sec. 17. When it shall be necessary in making any
2improvements which any district is authorized by this Act to
3make, to enter upon any public property or property held for
4public use, such district shall have the power so to do and may

10cost, and shall thereupon become the property of such
11municipality, and be maintained in good order for public travel
12by such municipality: And, provided, further, however, that if
13any land of such district or other land acquired by purchase,
14condemnation or otherwise is necessarily taken to form a part
15of a street or roadway leading to any such bridge, which land
16lies wholly within such municipality, or if such district shall
17enter into a contract with any such municipality for the
18dedication of the right of way for a street across or over any
19lands of such district adjoining such main channel for an
20approach, or roadway leading to any such bridge lying wholly
