<br />( iielcr �cncr;il authont\ to condemn fr,r a public use, it is settled that prop
<br />crtS d01,tcd to one public use mad- be condcnuted for another which is of
<br />•,,p erior r:liik in respect of public ncccssity, or which mad be exercised con-
<br />,i,tcntl� s;ith the use first attaching." C;encrall\, where it is the public through
<br />►�,. of its entities that seeks to condemn property already devoted to a
<br />I,t,blic use, and public ownership is thercb\• abstituted, the property is said to
<br />I,c clevoted to a "higher use" and the change is therefore regarded as for a
<br />public• use -is
<br />of course, where lands are necessar,• to a public use, and are devoted
<br />thereto, the\' cannot be condemned for a lesser public use. For example, the
<br />,,instruction of a levee for the reclam-tion of land from the floodwater of a
<br />,;�t•I will not, although it is for a public use, be permitted to destroy a portion
<br />,,f ttic water supply system of a municipal corpoiation.1°
<br />Federal takings.
<br />I he application to takings by the United States of property of a state or
<br />.,,I,division or agency thereof, of the concept that property devoted to a
<br />I,,,I,lic• lise may be taken for another public use which involves a greater
<br />,1,-Qrce of public necessity' than the first, but may not be taken for a
<br />,,.,,,lld use which involves a lesser degree of such necessity, is somewhat
<br />,I) , tire. While obitcr lanruage may be found in the decisions indicat-
<br />,I,,; that particular uses to which the United States proposes to devote
<br />pr„perti, previously held ,or a public use, by a state or subdivision thereof,
<br />.,ry of greater public necessity than the use involved in the state's owner -
<br />.hip or occupancy," and vice versa,' or even that the sues of the Federal
<br />t;,wernment are automatically superior to any uses to w:iich the state may have
<br />Irvt,ted the property,t application of the doctrine in question so as to affect
<br />'In, .1cttt;ll holding of a case has occurred only rarely.'
