LONDON, May 25
Lord Dudley’s Commission on Congestion. in Ireland has presented a report that is. nominally unanimous, but with numerous reservations, especially on. the .part of Sir Antony MacDonell. , . . , Tho report suggests the wholesale compulsory acquisition ..of land for the purpose of migrating tenants of uneconomic holdings to better farms. It advises that , tho whole of Connaught, Donegal, Kerry, and possibly Clare, and one-fifth of. Cork be scheduled as congested districts under control of the -Board, which should posses exclusive control of management of land purchase within the district, where all direct sales from landlord to tenant should be forbidden. The work of relieving congestion outside this area should be entrusted to tho Land Commission and Department of Agriculture. , Tho prico to bo payablo for land taken compulsorily is recommended to bo a sum yielding the landlord his average net profit income.
