12 LAND REFORM 



for the purposes named in the foregoing sections, and 

 the method of repayment and the provisions as to sub- 

 letting and subdividing are the same as in Part I 

 of the Bill. 



The Advisory Committees appointed by County 

 Councils and Councils of Non-County Boroughs 

 under the "Small Holdings Act, 1892," are to be 

 Advisory Committees to the Board, to give informa- 

 tion and assistance in respect of putting this part of 

 the Bill into operation. 



The sum to be advanced for the purposes of this 

 part of the Bill is limited to two millions sterling.^ 



1 In every rural district there are to be found men very suitable as 

 regards character and ability to be peasant proprietors but who have 

 not the sum required to be paid down at the time of purchase. To meet 

 such cases the Board of Agriculture, on the recommendation of the 

 local Advisory Committee, is enabled to advance the whole of the 

 purchase money. As far as young men are concerned, a real prospect 

 of getting land of their own would be enough to induce the best of them 

 to save money in order to become purchasers.
