ing
THE general scheme for the repatri-
alton of returned soldiers coutsmplates
placing them upon the land. At a re-
cent conference between the common
wealth and the state authorities, it
was decided that each state would
have to find the land, while the com
monweaith government would advance
up to s.. 1873 to improve the holding OF
each returned soldier and to procure
the necessary stock and implements.
In this state it was deemed that the
crown lands would prove too difficult
TO improve to attract returned sol
diers. and ii was decided to purchase
large estates and divide them up into
small farms and to use the money adj
vanced BY the commonwealth govern
nent for buildings, fences and tools.
The money expended by the state in
purchasing the land. as we'll as the
money advanced by the commonwealth
for tmpl 3vements, is q lien upon the
property aud must be repaid in small
annual payments. 1t was also decided
[ by the commonwealth to advance
