Dominion,  2 June 1920: SOLDIERS' SETTLEMENTS BALLOT FOR SECTIONS. Timaru, June 1. Result for farm settlements  (the number of applicants being placed in parentheses)

Lambrook (Gillingham's): No. 1 - 236 acres (28), James Murphy, Fairlie; No. 2 - 333 acres, homestead lot. reserved for A. H. Gillingham, returned soldier; No. 3 - 125 acres (15), Charles Sim

3 Jun 1920 - SECTION RESERVED COMPLAINT BY SOLDIER SETTLERS. At the ballot yesterday for sections in the Lambrook settlement. Objection were taken when the Commissioner of Crown Lands announced that the homestead block section 2, of 333 acres) had been reserved for a son of the previous owner of the estate. The son is a returned soldier, but the applicants said that could be said of all of them, and that they should all be placed on the same level in the ballot. Immediately following the ballot, a number of applicants who had not drawn sections held a meeting of protest in the Municipal Chambers, when they expressed themselves strongly concerning the disposal of the homestead block. Some of the applicants applied lor this block only, including; three who had come specially from Christchurch to go in for it, and all contended that if it had been arranged to withhold tho section from ballot, all the applicants should have been informed of the fact, so that they might have been saved the time and cost of going in for it. As an outcome of the meeting, tho following was drawn up and signed by the men who were present:— "We, the undersigned applicants, wish to emphatically protest against the allotment of section 2 (homestead block), Lambrook settlement, to Mr A. H. Gillingham without going to the ballot. The majority of the applicants have lost time and money in balloting lor this section, and the matter will be put before tho Returned Soldiers' Association and the Press."

A copy of the above was handed to the Commissioner of Crown Lands by those who formulated it, for the.Minister of Lands. The Commissioner said the position was that when Mr . Gillinghum offered Lambrook to the Government, he said that he wished to reserve the homestead for his son, Mr A. H. Gillingham, who had left with the Main Body, and was then still at the war. The sale went through without the homestead being so reserved by the Land Purchase Board, who, however, have complied with such requests on other cases. The Land Board have discretionary power under tho Act to do what they think proper in the interests of closer settlement, and when Mr Gillingham, sen., represented to them that his son had done four years' war service, and that on this account and for sentimental, reasons he would like him to get the homestead, the Board considered it would be a fair thing to grant the request, especially as Mr Gillingham, jn., knew the land well (having been born and brought up on it), and under such circumstances they thought he would probably be able to give useful hints to the holders of other sections on the settlement who might be strangers to the district. The Board considered that under such circumstances it would be in tho interests of closer settlement to comply with the request, and they exercised their power to do this. The reason that the section was not withdrawn from the list of those to he ballotted for was that the resolution allotting section. 2 to Mr Gillingham's son was not passed till this morning.
