Such remnants of land brought about
by public improvements often remain
vacant for many years. They are eye
sores. a detriment to adjoining property
and affect values for blocks
THE creation of irregular parcels Of
land such as the one described above
cuts down materially on the revenues
the city can collect for the financing OF
public improvements. New streets,
street widenings. subways and sewers
enhance the value of abutting or near
by property, and modern municipalities
are empowered by the State to calculate
the benefits of such improvements in
dollars and cents and bill the property
owners in such areas. But leaving rem
nants between an improved street and
property that otherwise would abut on
the new thoroughfare operates to reduce
the amount the city can collect In the
form of such special benefit assessments
from neighboring property. A tract OF
land separated only few feet from
widened street cannot be assessed as
heavily for benefits as II 1t had 'front.'
age on the improved street. and the
remnant that causes all this trouble
usually Gas decided by the Illinois STU
preme Court cannot be assessed at all.
Now under the power of excess con-
demnation a city takes whatever land
it can show is necessary to use to pro-
vide proper setting for a public inn
provement, including such remnants.
Then the city rearranges such ground
in way that will best enhance the
improvement. puts on the area whatever
restrictions as to the character and cost
of future structures which will best
harmonic with the improvement or
carry out its purpose, and resells the
land When such proceedings are care
fully worked out. such transactions
show a profit, as the land is bought at
the market price before the improve
ment is made and sold at the market
price brought about by the improve
ment. The extension of this practice
should be of interest to property owners
throughout city, as all taxpayers foot
the bill for the difference between the
cost Of public improvements and what
the city can collect in benefit assess
ments in the improved area. No one
should object If the city. by engaging in
the real estate business temporarily, can
control the setting of its poulevards and
help defray their cost In excess of what
the ordinary benefit assessments will
bring in

| an inch more. This in cases of street
| improvements invariably creates irregu-
| lar parcels of land that are good for
nothing but the undignified structures
that rise upon them.
City Cannot Take More.
"For example, a new street Is to be
cut through an area of diversely owned
land A street is never the exact width
of SO many rows of lots. 1t may gobble
up two lines of lots entirely and then
require a half or quarters or just
small piece of the next adjoining line.
! If the city hasn't excess condemnation,
| it dare not take fraction more. but it
cannot take less, for the street must be
| just so wide To be sure the owners of
all the property taken are reimbursed
and often the courts hold that the
owners of land partially taken must be
paid for the entire plot, but what hap
pens to the pieces that are left? The
city can't have them and their owners
can't use them.
las an illustration, this is what hap
pened in the city of Chicago when its
Twelfth street was widened: The
project called for adding sufficient land
to the south side of the street to give
part of Twelfth street width of lib
feet This required the taking of land
on the south side of the street to a
depth of 60 feet. Between Wabash
avenue and an alley to the east was a
parcel of land with a frontage of II
| feet on Wabash avenue, extending 1866
feet along Twelfth street to the alley.
The action of the city in taking So feet
of this property left the owner a strip
of land 166 feet long and only three feet
deep.
Chicago now has the right of excess
condemnation, but at the time this
parcel of land was the subject of litiga-
ton between the owner and the city.
The Supreme Court of Illinois held that
the city not only could not assess bene-
fits for the widening project against
such a remnant. but that it should
compensate the owner for the full value
of the entire parcel, of which 1t took but
SO feet. But the city could not take
this strip of land, for which it had paid,
and it still remained remnant to lie
idle and form dumping place for
refuse or to be put to whatever use a
strip of land three feet wide would be
good for.

CITIES HELD TO NEED RIGHT
OF"EXCESS CONDEMNATION
National Real Estate Body Declares Mu-
inequalities Must Go Beyond Power
or Eminent Domain.

All modern cities need what the
courts call the right of excess condem-
nation" or the power to take more land
for public improvements, so that set
tings for such developments may be
properly planned. it is pointed out today
by the National Association of Real
Estate Boards In Its weekly article on
real estate subjects.
A city must have legal power TO make
public places beautiful. and this power
Is lacking in IS of the States, the asso-
citation says.
Bad" spots in many of American
communities are so often near new
streets or other public places, and are
particularly Objectionable because they
form such contracts, the statement
adds, and city can do nothing about
the unsightly remnants that line its new
boulevards unless the law gives it "ex-
cess condemnation"
Henry G. Zander of Chicago. former
president of the national realtors or
ganization. who during his term Of
Office last year advocated that all
municipalities secure the right of excess
condemnation, is quoted by the associa-
ton on the subject.
Is States Amend Laws.
Thirteen States. most of them large
ones III the East, nave either dfilBIlUEU
their constitutions to permit excess con-
domination or have enacted legislation
to permit it, says Mr.. Zander. But
even where this power has been given it
is not always used, principally because
the public is not acquainted with the
advantages of this practice, and officials
therefore hesitate to inaugurate it.
1T all starts with the right of emf
fent domain recognized as necessary
power of the State by notable iurists for
hundreds of years. This is the power IN
a city, granted by the State, to take pri-
vate property for uses that will promote
the public welfare, at the same time
recompensing the owners of such prop
erty for their losses. The term public
welfare has been interpreted to mean
also public safety, necessity or conven-
fence. Thus the opening of new street
or the widening of a too narrow exist
ing one can be required for public neces
sity or convenience.
And no one is troubled by this
ancient right of eminent domain. 1t
has been exercised since the beginning
of organized government, but eminent
domain does not go far enough.
IN the very phrasing of the Ameri-
can laws that give municipalities the
right of eminent domain lies cur
tailment of power that is practically
bound to bring the family wash to the
edge of the beautiful new boulevard.
For the laws in IS States provide that
cities may take land shown to be neces-
eary for public improvements but not

HEFLIN WILL RUN ' DESPITE DECISION
Alabama Committee Will Face Primary Contests

Montgomery, Ala, Dec. 17.-tP)- The state executive committee. which excluded Senator J. Thomas Heflin from the 1880 democratic primary by barring the candidates of those who did not support the party's presidential nominee last year,, today was confronted with tho prospect of combating independent campaigns by lIcflin and others ar- fcCtcd.
 Hcfliu to Run Anyway
 The senior senator from Alabama said he still would seek reelection when informed in Washington of the decision. Likewise John A. LoCkc Birmingham attorney, who has an nouncod for governor and also was counted out of the primary by the committee ruling, said he would con- | tinuo the race.
 In statement Locke described the 21 members of the committee who were outyoted 2 to T in bal iotinS on the ruling yesterday as z progressive democrats" Continuing he said:
 "A conference of these progressive democrats who attended the meeting ! of the eXcutive committee has called Il state wide meeting in Birmingham, December 20"
 Locke declared plans for his race would be completed at that time. Excluded by Ballot
 All candidates for federal state district or circuit offices, who bolt ed" the presidential ticket were cN- cluded by the committee from the primary next August, but the matter of determining upon the qualifica- lions of those seeking county offices a was left to county committees.
 The committee. however, invited all voters who believe in the prin- ciples of the democratic party to cast , their votes in the August primary the only requirement being that they support the pary's nominees in tn, general election.

DANGER LIES IN
 REDUCING DIETS
Unless They Have Bulk, Con- stipation is Inevitable

Today thousands of young wo- men and girls are wondering why they are so miserable as they diet to reduce.
 The trouble is that many of the new diets lack roughaGe which IS necessary to clean the intestinal system. The symptoms are head I aches, "gone" feelings and bad com plexions. If allowed to continue constipation with it's evils occurs.
 By including Kellogg's ALL-BRAN in a reducing diet, you keep tlt as you take off weight because you prevent constipation.
 ALL-BRAN does not add fat to ;, ihe body. It just sweeps the lntes- tines clean of poisonous wastes. No pills nor drugs can play the part ot ALL-BRAN in a reducing diet. Ihelr dose has to be constantly increased 2 and harmful results often follow.
 You will like the appetizing, nut sweet flavor. of ALL-BRAN. Eat 1t in soups. On salads. Soaked in orange, prune or fruit juice. As a cereal with milk or cream. Delicious with honey added. Just eat two tablespoonfuls daily - in chronic cases with every meal.
