The Servicemen's Settlement and Land Sales Act, 1943.--
Notice declaring Land taken for the Settlement of a
Discharged Serviceman

WHEREAS an application has been made for the consent
of the Land Sales Court to a transaction which relates
to the land described in the Schedule hereto and to which
Part III of the Servicemen's Settlement and Land Sales Act,
1943, applies:

And whereas the Land Sales Committee to which the
application has been referred is of opinion that the land to
which the application relates is farm land suitable or
adaptable for the settlement of a discharged serviceman:

And whereas the said Committee, not being satisfied that
the Crown had decided not to acquire or arrange for the
acquisition of the land, did on the 10th day of May, 1944,
make an order determining the basic value of the land and
no appeal from the said order was made within the time
prescribed by the said Act or within any further time
allowed by the Court:

And whereas the said land is not the land of any
serviceman who is for the time being serving outside New
Zealand in any of His Majesty's Forces or in any British
ship:

Now, therefore, I, Clarence Farringdon Skinner, Minister
of Lands, acting in pursuance of section 51 of the said Act,
do hereby declare that the said land is taken for the settlement
of a discharged serviceman, and I hereby specify the
lst day of July, 1944, as the date on which the said land
shall be deemed to be vested in His Majesty the King.
