      name to any real property which may be  needed  or  convenient  for  the
      project or in connection therewith, including real property of municipal
      corporations, public utility corporations and railroad corporations. Any
      municipal  corporation may convey, with or without consideration, to the
      county any right,  title  or  interest  in  real  property  without  any
      election  or vote of the electors, taxpayers or freeholders. Payment for
      real property so acquired by the county may be made  by  the  authority.

      franchises  connected  with the operation of said bridge which it may be
      necessary or convenient for the authority to acquire. The  power  hereby
      conferred  upon  the county shall not limit or restrict the power of the
      authority itself to acquire real property in the name of the county.
