Sec. 5. Whenever the making of any part of an improvement or the locating
of a route or any part thereof under the provisions of this Act will

semi-public use be acquired, the board of park commissioners, in its name,
shall have the right and power to purchase the necessary property from the
owner thereof, or, if compensation therefor cannot be agreed upon, to
acquire and pay for said property together with any damage to land not
taken, in accordance with the provisions for the
exercise of the right of eminent domain under the Eminent Domain Act, provided, however, that the board of park commissioners shall not
