Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Excess Condemnation There are several angles from which the subject of excess condemnation may be approached. To the city planner it offers a possible means for controlling the physical development of a city; to students of municipal finance it presents a method of paying for public improvements; for the constitutional lawyer it raises interesting and difficult problems in the law of eminent domain. As a result excess condemnation has attracted, in the main, only the casual attention of those interested primarily in other questions. In the following chapters an attempt h: as been made to present a well rounded and independent study of excess condemnation which does not ignore the many problems with which it is intimately connected and which also affords a broad view of the purposes for which it may be used and the numerous questions connected with its theory and practice. It ought to be said that excess condemnation is here treated from the standpoint of the American city. Such a limitation in the scope of the study seemed, in the first place, wise because of the great length to which the discussion must otherwise have been extended; but also it seemed necessary because the first-hand investigation in Europe which would be essential for any adequate treatment of its operation in foreign cities was interrupted by the outbreak of the European war. Such discussion of the experience of European cities with the policy of excess condemnation as appears in the following chapters does not purport to be an exhaustive study.
