Risks On Territory

Property

Owners Should Insure

The following advice to evacuees has been sent to us for publication. It is of great importance to property-owners.

THE Pacific Territories Association’s legal advisers are of the opinion that, where property in the Territories, owned by former residents, is now occu pied by members of the Australian Defence Forces, the responsibility for insurance of such property against War Damage and ordinary fire risk is still one resting on the owners of the pro perty.

Residents, therefore, if they have not done so already, should see that their property is covered under the War Dam age to Property Regulations, and also against ordinary fire risks, where this cover is obtainable.
