The Act of 1922 is based apparently on the contention that this interference with private interests is justified by the national importance of providing garden plots for the dwellers in urban districts, and it is obvious that a knowledge of the statutes governing the tenure of land let as allotments or allotment gardens is necessary to the management of urban property which is awaiting development for building, etc.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
