DAMAGE TO FARMS
MILTARY MANOEUVRES
QUESTION OF COMPENSATION
At last executive meeting of the Auckland Farmers' Union the matter of compensation to farmers foe damage done to their properties by military forces during manoeuvres was under consideration. It was stated thai in some cases where farming was intense, the loss of a few acres of pasture was a serious matter. The issues involved were not only the effect on capital value, but also the possible reduction immediately in incomc. It was decided that a committee comprising the president, Captain H. M. Rushworth, Mr A. G. A. Sexton and the secretary be asked to handle the matter, and that the following recommendations be made: (1) That before any property is taken over by the Army a valuation should be placed upon it; (2) That a rental payment should be made for the duration of the war or until full compensation is made; (3) That full compensation and/or restoration should be made as soon as is practicable.
