Land Board Aims at 21 Acre Surrender for 60 Acre Exchange

The Local Land Board debated Martin Arthur Dunn's plan to surrender 21 acres of freehold for about 60 acres of T.S.R. 21864 in Forbes. Witnesses valued the surrender land at £8 per acre and the acquired land at £3 per acre with £4 to fence, noting access to the river and grazing potential. The board favored a modified deal: surrender 21 acres for about 28 acres of equal value, with Dunn to acquire the remaining 32 acres and pay £144 difference.
