Soldier settlement plans outlined by Senator Millon
Citizens committees may handle large spending with care. Senator Millon forecasts up to 40,000 soldiers entering land settlement, backed by a Commonwealth program to create primary producers and ease wartime burdens. Financing details touch £60,000,000 total holdings and £1,500 per soldier, with market guarantees and cooperative aims to market small holdings. The plan seeks rapid, profitable settlement for experienced and inexperienced soldiers alike, emphasizing suitability to capital and acquired skills. Local notes report heavy rainfall, rail transfers, hospital funding, fire brigade needs, and public notices amid ongoing provincial developments.
