Daily News, 25 March 1947, page 3
Asking for £412 compensation for loss of income and plant and equipment, a man appeared before the Compensation Board of the Western Command in the Local Court today. He is Alexander Dickenson Maru, of Walter Street, East Fremantle. Maru said that on March 25, 1942, he was renting a service station in Fremantle. He had rented the service station to build up a business for his son. The son was being instructed by a qualified mechanic, who, in return, was allowed the use of a workshop attached to the service station rent free.
On March 25, 1942, an Army officer told him that the service station was wanted to house Americans who were arriving and that he would have to get out, Maru added. The officer called again the next day and said he would send down a valuator. That evening another officer saw him and told him the Americans would be moving in the next morning. They did so. Because he was unable to get his equipment out in time, Maru said he asked the Americans if he could leave it where it was. The Americans said it would be all right and might be useful to them. He agreed. Maru said he was not advised by the Hirings Department when the Americans left. The Australian Army then moved in. When he asked the Australians about his plant, Maru said he was told there was nothing there but an air-compressor. Later he was not advised when the Australians left. The key had been returned to the owner, who had let the garage to another man.
Through legal proceedings, Maru said he regained tenancy of the garage. Maru is now appealing for compensation of £2 a week between March, 1942, and early in 1945. He is also asking for £100 to cover the loss of plant.
1949 Engagement. Mr. and Mrs. H.J. Carter, of 8 Chamberlain-street, Cottesloe, have much pleasure in announcing the engagement of their only daughter, Shirley Lillian, to Alexander Ray (Lal), only son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Maru, of 28 Walter-street, East Fremantle. (reference)
