WANTS SPEEDING UP
LAND SETTLEMENT UNION REPRESENT AT lONS “That this meeting deplores the seemingly unnecessary delay occasioned after land valuation has taken place” was a remit forwarded by the Northern Thames Sub-Province and considered at last Executive meeting of the N.Z. Farmers’ Union (Auckland Province). The remit was strongly supported. Mr S. E. Hall mentioned a case where a delay of eight months had taken place. The Chairman Captain H. M. Rushworth, said it was evident that the work of land settlement through the Rehabilitation Department needed to be Speeded, up. Another delegate quoted the. case of a young man who volunteered for the war and left his farm at Otorohanga. During liis absence the farm went to rack and ruin and an estimate for replacement was £l3lOO. He
went to the Rehabilitation Department lor a loan of £3OOO and was refused, the reason being that he had. a bullet in his hip arid might drop dead at any moment. He thejn went to the Bank and received an advance of £SOOO. Other striking instances were quoted and the remit was carried.
