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 applica-
tion has been referred is of opinion that the land to which the
application relates is farm land suitable 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 23rd day of January, 1946, 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, the Minister of Lands, acting in pursuance
of section 51 of the said Act, doth hereby declare that the said land
is taken for the settlement of a discharged serviceman, and hereby
specifies the 12th day of March, 1946, as the date on which the said
