The provisions of this act do and shall be construed to provide a complete, additional and alternative method for doing the things authorized and shall be regarded as supplemental and additional to any other laws. Insofar as the provisions of this act are inconsistent with the provisions of any other law, general, specific or local, the provisions of this act shall be controlling.
