Buildings for Small Holders. 



[Aug., 



These three 50-acre holdings will be equipped at a cost of about 

 £3,000, or £1,000 each, including roads, water supply and 

 fencing, and will be a very considerable saving over entirely 

 new equipment. 



The foregoing applies more or less to most small holding 

 adaptations, and the secret of success lies undoubtedly in a 

 careful study and survey of existing buildings. In many cases 

 it is impossible to grasp the situation properly without getting 

 the whole of the existing property carefully plotted to scale. It 

 will then be possible to consider many suggestions before finally 

 deciding upon the best means of carrying out the adaptation. 

 In this way, therefore, indifferent buildings may be converted 

 to modern requirements and serve a most useful purpose in the 

 Land Settlement Scheme.
