States in which excess condemnation is expressly permitted through a con- stitutional amendment are: Massachu- setts, Ohio, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, New York, Michigan and California. In five additional States, according to a recent check of existing legislation CONDEMNATION RIGHT| on excess condemnation made by the | National Association of Real Estate | Boards, legislation providing for ex- | cess condemnation has now been enact- | ed without a preliminary constitutional | amendment expressly permitting it. | These States are: Illinois, New Jersey, Virginia, Connecticut and Maryland. An approval on the part of Chicago voters of the excess condemnation measure was urged by the Chicago Plan Commission as a provision which will allow the city to consolidate and make way for the improvement of many small remnants of property fronting on widened streets.
