SMALL FARMS ACT
USE OF COMPULSORY CLAUSES. (From Our Parliamentary Reporter.) Wellington, September 27. The possibility of the Government putting the compulsory clauses of the Small Farms Relief of Unemployment Act into operation was mentioned by the Minister of Lands, the Hon. E. A Ransom, when replying in the House of Representatives this afternoon to a question addressed to him by Mr T. D Burnett.
Mr Burnett asked, if in view of the growing demand in Canterbury for small holdings of from 20 to 50 acres, and the marked disinclination on the part of the landowners to lease areas under the Act, the Minister would make a statement as to the Government’s intention.
The Minister said that the Government would take into consideration the necessity of putting the compulsory clauses of the Act into operation and if necessary would purchase lands instead of proceeding by way of lease.
