Dominion Lands Act revisited on homesteads and 160 acre entry
In the North West Legislative Assembly Mr. Davidson discusses the 1884 85 Dominion Lands Act rules restricting cancelled homesteads to 80 acres and 80 acre pre emption. Regulations were revoked allowing 160 acre entries on payment for improvements. Settlers claim injustice as newer entrants gain patents for 160 acres while they pay $200 for 80 acres. He urges ministerial action for equal justice and mentions plebiscite ideas on prohibition using popular will.
