The Act provides for land allotment to evacuees, land to be used for agricultural production, pasture, house-building: it entitles the evacuee to the right of using the allotted land and, in those cases when allotments were not conceded prior to the issuing of the present Act, it provides for granting them in those cases when claims are compliant with the law.
