Provision of cottages, &c., for ex-service men under the Labourers (Ireland) Acts.

4.(1) The Local Government Board shall have power to make and carry out
schemes for the provision of cottages with or without plots or gardens for the
accommodation of men who have served as aforesaid, and who satisfy the Board
as to their fitness and suitability.

(2) A scheme under this section shall specify the land which the Board propose
to acquire for the purposes of the scheme whether by agreement or

twenty-one days) within which objections to the scheme must be sent to the
Board shall be given in the prescribed manner to the owners or reputed owners,
lessees or reputed lessees, and occupiers of the land.

(3) On the expiration of the time limited for sending objections the Board,
after considering any objections that may have been duly sent to them, may
make an order confirming the scheme with or without modifications, or may
reject the scheme.

(4) For the purpose of carrying out any scheme when so confirmed, the Local
Government Board, in addition to their other powers, shall have and may
exercise all the powers except powers of borrowing or causing a rate to be
levied that may be exercised by a rural district council under the Labourers
(Ireland) Acts, 1883 to 1919, for the purpose of carrying out an improvement
scheme when confirmed by a final order under section six of the Labourers
(Ireland) Act, 1906, including powers of acquiring land by agreement or
compulsorily, and, subject to such adaptations as may be made under this
section, those Acts and the Acts incorporated therein shall apply accordingly
with the following modifications, namely

(a)an order of the Board confirming a scheme under this section shall have the
like effect as if the scheme were an improvement scheme and the order were an
order made and confirmed under section six of the Labourers (Ireland) Act,
1906;

(b)two statute acres shall be substituted for one statute acre as the maximum
area of the plot or garden that may be provided;

(c)expenses incurred in making and carrying out schemes under this section
shall be defrayed in manner provided by this section; and

(d)the power of acquiring land shall not be exercised by the Board after the
expiration of three years from the passing of this Act.

(5) Any cottage, plot, or garden provided under this section which ceases to
be required for the accommodation of any such man as aforesaid may be let or
otherwise disposed of in such manner as the Board may, with the approval of
the Treasury, determine.

(6) The Local Government Board may make orders adapting the provisions of the
Labourers (Ireland) Acts, 1883 to 1919, and any enactments incorporated
therewith, in such manner as may appear to them to be necessary or expedient
in order to give full effect to the provisions of this section.

(7) The expenses incurred by the Local Government Board in making and carrying
out schemes under this section shall, to such extent as may be sanctioned by
the Treasury, be defrayed out of moneys provided by Parliament, and the
receipts of the Local Government Board in respect of cottages, plots, and
gardens provided under such schemes shall be paid into the Exchequer at such
times and in such manner as may be directed by the Treasury.

(8) The Local Government Board shall, in connexion with schemes under this
section, prepare an annual account in accordance with such directions as may
be given by the Treasury, and shall transmit the account to the Controller and
Auditor General, and the Controller and Auditor General shall certify and
report upon the same, and such account and report shall be laid before
Parliament as soon as may be after the report is made.
