The within statement does not show that injustice has been done to the applicant but leaves the renting of the land a question of fact; neither does the asst: S.A.C. express his approval of the application. No case in which fact as a part from law, the chief question should be forwarded to these Head Quarers without the express opinion of the local officer upon its merits.
