Crown Lands Amended Act Brings New Appraisal Rules
The Minister announces the Crown Lands Amendment Act in force from October 2 1931. It expands rights to reappraise capital values and rents for holdings under the Crown Lands Consolidation Act 1813 and related acts, abolishes periodic appraisements, and sets guidelines on land board valuations based on productive capacity and comparable sales. It also allows postponement of instalments on conditional purchases, raises the maximum area for special leases, enables instalment payment of survey fees, and permits sale of small tracts to religious bodies or public authorities. Local land boards gain extended powers to amend applications, and notices advise settlers to contact the Under Secretary, Lands Department, or district agents for details.

Horsey Auction Tales at Dungog Sale
A lively horse sale at Dungog drew a big crowd on Friday. Bede Carlton wielded the hammer as horses of all ages entered the square ring. Bidders included Jack Enright, Jack O’Donnell, Charlie Sellars, and Perce Smith, with tall tales from Tom Carlton about Toby the talkative horse. Roany drew tears when knocked down for £6, while the German bidder walked away at high prices for Toby, a bay gelding reputed to talk. Sea worthy, by Holdsworthy from L’Amour, linked to Maitland racing fame, was noted as a well-bred bay horse in the sale.
