REST HOMES HERE
TO Be CHECKED UP
Inspectors to Determine if
Places Are Private
Hospitals.

Inspectors of the Health Department
have been ordered by Health Officer
William C. Fowler to make a check-up
on so-called "rest homes" in the Dis
trict OF see whether they do not come
under the classification of private hos
pitfalls.
Rest homes do not have to be licensed
by the Commissioners, but hospitals,
whether for humans or animals, must
get license which is issued only after
investigation by the Fire Department,
the Building Inspectors Office and the
rest homes in the District and "a
licensed hospitals. An additional re-
quirement which the hospitals must
meet is that If they do not own the
real estate on which the hospital is
located. bond of SIS 900 must be filed
with the Commissioners.
May Make Test Case.
It was called to DR.. Fowler's atten-
ton recently that there might be some
doubt as to whether some of the rest
homes should properly come under the
classification of private hospitals. I'm
fortunately, DR.. Fowler said, i'll the law
providing for the licensing of private
hospitals, there was no definition of the
word hospital" The problem that con-
fronts him, therefore, is to decide upon
a definition and try to make it stand
up in court, should the matter be con-
tested.
The investigation at present. how
ever, has only reached the stage Of
sending the inspectors into the field to
see exactly what the physical condi-
tons are at the rest homes in ques-
ton. After all the reports are filed, DR..
Fowler will endeaver to decide which,
if any, have crossed the borderline and
become private hospitals. He will re-
quire these to take out licenses, and
should this step be resisted, or should
the Commissioners refuse to grant the
licenses on the basis of the reports
submitted, then the matter will be
taken to court for decision.

WHEAT RELIEF HELD
PROBABLE NEXT YEAR
McKelvie Expects Sales Agency Of
Co-operatives Will Be Ready
to Function.
BY the Associated Press.


Samuel r. McKelvie, wheat represent
tative on the Federal Farm Board, said
today the board proposed to have a
national sales agency Of co-operatives
set up in time to handle at least 40 per
cent of next years wheat crop. He
added if this intention could not be ac-
complished in that way some other
means would be found.
The Nebraskan wrote Senator Fess.
Republican, of Ohio, he had expressed
this view in recent testimony before the
Senate agriculture committee, and was
calling attention to it because he had
been quoted by Senator Smith, Demo-
crat, of South Carolina, as having said
wheat growers could not expect any re-
lief from the new Government agency
for about five years. McKelvie said he
had not made such statement.

ENABLING ACT UP
TO ILLINOIS HOUSE
State wide Right of Excess
Condemnation Is Sought
in Measure.

A statewide enabling act which
would empower municipalities through
out Illinois to take by right of eminent
domain, or excess condemna ton, more
property than is actually necessary for
the creation of public improvements
and, subsequently, to sell or lease this
property in order to defray the ex-
penses of the improvements, has passed
the State Senate and is now before the
House.
Such a power would relieve the tax
payers from the burden of levies for
improvements from which they may be
remote and receive little or no benefit.
The Illinois Legislature two years ago
passed bill giving the city of Chicago
the power of excess condemnation. The
bill had a referendum clause attached
and was submitted to the voters OF
Chicago recently and adopted by sub
stantiaf majority. At the suggestion of
the Illinois Association of Real Estate
Boards, a copy of the act passed two
years ago and changed to make 1t
wide in its application, has been
brought before the Legislature, now in
session.
According to a check of existing
legislation on excess condemnation,
several States have already by con-
stitutional amendments given their
municipalities some power of excess
condemnation States included in this
list are: Massachusetts,. Ohio, New
York. Rhode Island, Michigan, Cali
fornia and Wisconsin.
In five additional States some legis-
lation providing for excess condemna-
ton has been enacted. These States
are: New Jersey, Illinois, Virginia,
Connecticut and Maryland.
