Any such county, city, village or town is further authorized to condemn or acquire by purchase or gift, the right to unobstructed use of such portion of the air space within three thousand feet of such airport, landing field or seaplane harbor or within such greater distance as may be certified to be necessary in the manner heretofore provided in this section so that nothing will interfere with the ascent or the descent of any aircraft at a gliding angle of one foot in height to every thirty feet of horizontal distance from the nearest point of such airport, landing field or seaplane harbor or at such other angles as may be declared by the Federal Civil Aeronautics Administration, or its successor, as necessary for the approach and turning zones with respect to any particular airport, landing field or seaplane harbor. Any such county, city, village or town is further authorized to condemn, or acquire by purchase or gift, for a term of years or perpetually, the right to place and maintain, obstruction markers and/or lights upon any structure, building, tower, pole, wire, tree, or other thing located within three thousand feet of such airport, landing field or seaplane harbor or within such greater distance as may be certified to be necessary in the manner heretofore provided in this section, which the governing body of such county, city, village or town shall determine to constitute a menace to aerial navigation to or from said airport, landing field or seaplane harbor, including the right to lay and maintain conduits and wires to such obstruction markers and/or lights.
