4000 - Construction.

 
    §  4000. Construction. This chapter shall not be considered a new act,
  but a reenactment and a continuation of the  several  acts  consolidated
  herein; nor shall this chapter affect or impair any right, power or duty
  conferred  or imposed by any such act or any liability or right incurred
  or action or proceeding taken thereunder.
    Whenever the terms "condemnation" or "appropriation" or any other term
  which refers to the taking of real property by exercise of the power  of
  eminent  domain  are  used in this chapter such terms shall be deemed to
  mean "acquisition" as such term is defined in section one hundred  three
  of the eminent domain procedure law.
    Whenever  the  power  to  acquire  real  property  by  eminent  domain
  proceedings has been given to any public authority under this chapter or
  any of its instrumentalities, such acquisition shall be pursuant to  the
  provisions  of  the  eminent  domain  procedure  law, and the provisions
  contained herein relating to such power shall be given  full  force  and
  effect to the extent that they are consistent with the provisions of the
  eminent  domain  procedure  law  and  to  the  extent  that  any of such
  provisions are  inconsistent  with  the  provisions  of  such  law,  the
  provisions  of  the  eminent  domain procedure law shall be deemed to be
  controlling.
