Sec. 21-21.
Excess condemnation.
In any case brought under the statutes of the State of Illinois for
the acquirement of property through the exercise of the right of eminent
domain, whether the same is done in connection with a local improvement
or otherwise, it shall be lawful for the city of Chicago to take a fee
simple and to hold, lease or sell more land than is needed for public
improvement whenever the court in which the proceedings have been
instituted finds that such excess land is required to protect, preserve
or aid the improvement and is reasonable in quantity therefor.
