The Port Commission shall have the right and power to construct or place any part or parts of any of its undertakings across, in, over, under, through or along any street, public highway, or any lands which are now or may hereafter be the property of the Commonwealth Government or the municipality of Ponce, upon obtaining the necessary permits therefor pursuant to § 22 of Act No. 213 of 1942.
