Such corporate authorities may acquire by purchase, gift,
condemnation or otherwise all the real and personal property, rights of way
and easements within or without the district necessary for the construction
and maintenance of the works hereby authorized, and shall have the same
control and jurisdiction of the property without as of that within the
