SOLDIER PARTNERSHIPS.
DISSOLUTION AND STAMP DUTY. Mr S. G. Smith (Taranaki) has suggested to the Minister of Lands that the Department should pay the stamp duty upon the dissolution of „ soldier partnerships in land under the D.S'S. Act, and should give the soldier remaining on the form a .long period in which to reimburse the*; Department. He reminded the Minister that in the early stages of the operation of the Act, soldiers who could not pay their stamp duty had the amount capitalised and were allowed to de-' fer payment.
The Minister (Mr Guthrie) said that he was aware of the difficulties in which soldiers found themselves when partnerships were, dissolved. The Department must be careful, however, not to over-capitalise the land. He was always anxious to assist returned soldiers when they had difficulty in paying stamp duty. If they applied to the Commissioner and explained their position provision would be made for capitalisation or. for some other form of relief.
