Sec. 3a.

The provisions of this act shall be deemed to extend to and include the right to acquire and take the fee to property; to acquire property adjacent to that required for public highway purposes for the purpose of exchanging it for the property required or for the purpose of replatting or re-arranging the property abutting on the highway after the taking so as to conform with the plan or arrangement in effect before the taking; and to acquire and to take the fee to a whole of a particular parcel of land whenever the acquisition of the portion thereof actually needed would destroy the practical value or utility of the remainder of such parcel, and the question as to whether or not such land is so taken shall be determined by the jury and incorporated in its findings:

Provided, however, That before any proceedings are taken under this act involving the taking of any property or property rights in any city or village for the changing, altering, opening or widening of any street or highway, the consent of the village or city council by resolution shall be first obtained.
