    §  5-344  Amendment  of  improvement  proceeding to include or exclude
  excess lands. After the institution of a proceeding for an  improvement,
  the  mayor  may  amend  the proceeding by authorizing the acquisition of
  lands additional to those required for the  improvement,  provided  that
  title  shall  not have vested in the city to any parcel of real property
  to be acquired for the improvement within  the  block,  between  legally
  existing  public  streets,  embracing  the additional lands sought to be
  acquired.  The mayor may also amend any proceeding so as to exclude  any
  or all additional lands being acquired in the proceeding, provided title
  to  such  additional lands shall not have vested in the city. Thereafter
  the proceeding  shall  be  conducted  in  the  same  manner  as  if  the
  additional lands included or excluded by the amendment had been included
  or  had  not  been  included  in  the  proceeding  at  the  time  of the
  institution thereof.
