within the province of the municipal council, then the submission to the
Planning Commission shall be by the board, commission or body having
such jurisdiction, and the Planning Commission's disapproval, may be
overruled by said board, commission or body by a vote of not less than two-

19. (Right of Eminent Domain.). That whenever it shall be deemed
necessary by the Commission to take or acquire any lands, water rights,
structures or buildings either in fee or as an easement for parks, parkways,
forests, roads, streets, boulevards or highways, grounds or spaces, the
Commission may purchase same from the owner or Owners, or, failing
to agree with the owner or owners thereof, may condemn the same by
proceedings in the circuit court for the county in which said land, water
rights, structures or buildings are located, as now provided for condem-
nation of land by public service corporations in Article 33A of the
Public General Laws of Maryland; and said Commission may at the
same time condemn the interest of any tenant, lessee or other person
having an interest in said land or other property. At any time after ten
days after the return and 'recordation of the verdict or award in said pro-
ceeding, the Commission may enter and take possession of said property
so condemned upon first paying to the clerk of the court the amount of
said award and all costs, taxed to date, notwithstanding any appeal or fur-
ther proceeding on the part of the defendant. At the time of said pay-
ment, however, it shall give its corporate undertaking to abide by and
fulfill any judgment on such appeal or further proceeding if there be an
appeal.

1933, ch. 599, sec. 11.

20. (Miscellaneous Powers and Duties of Commission.) The Commis-
sion shall, have power to promote public interest in and understanding of
the plan. The Commission shall, from time to time, recommend to the
appropriate public officials programs for public structures and improve-
ments and for the financing thereof. It shall be part of its duties to con-
sult and advise with public officials and agencies, public utility companies,
civic, educational, professional and other organizations, and with citizens
with relation to the protecting or carrying out of the plan. The Commis-
sion shall have the right to accept and use gifts for the exercise, of its
functions. All public officials shall, upon request, furnish to the Com-
mission within a reasonable time such available information as it may
require for its work. The Commission, its members, officers and em-
ployees, in the performance of their functions, may enter upon any
land and make examinations and surveys and place and maintain neces-
sary monuments and marks thereon. In general, the Commission shall
have such powers as may be necessary to enable it to fulfill its functions,
