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 appli-
cation has been referred is of opinion that the land to which the
application relates is farm land suitable or adaptable for the settle-
ment of a discharged serviceman :

Crown had decided not to acquire or arrange for the acquisition

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 Farrington 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 31st day of July, 1944, as
