FIRST STEP IN PLAN
Land For Unemployed in Britain PROVIDING ALLOTMENTS (British Official Wireless.) (Received January 16, 5.5 p.m.) Rugby, January 15. The first step in the Government’s scheme for linking unemployed with the land is announced by the Commissioner for Special Areas. Mr. Malcolm Stewart, in a circular to all local authorities in Durham and Tyneside, South Wales and Monmouth, and Cumberland. The commissioner calls for prompt action in the provision of allotments until the demand for them is satisfied and wants at least 10,000 additional allotments to bo cultivated this year. This is tiie first case in which grants from the Commissioners Funds, provided by Parliament, are offered to local authorities, and under the present scheme they are helped to purchase or rent land in or around large centres of population where the expense could not possibly be met by the small rents paid by allotment holders. The allotment scheme is not to be confused with that for small holdings which, it is understood, is still under the consideration of the Government.
