subsection (c) and not, as presently implied,
to all of "this section".
The last sentence of the first paragraph of
present §8(a), which expressly authorizes
condemnation by the "quick-take" procedures

(B) WHEN PROPERTY MAY BE ACQUIRED.

Present Art. 89B, §237(b), which provides that
the Administration may regulate the use of
rest areas, now appears with the general
rulemaking powers of the Administration in
