but transformed into model farms, and pass into the hands of the
State or of the community, according to their size and importance.
Buildings, communal lands and villages with their private gardens and
their orchards remain in the hands of their present owners; the
dimensions of these plots and the rate of taxes for their use shall
be fixed by law.
4. All studs, governmental and private cattle-breeding and
bird-breeding establishments, and others, are confiscated and become

All questions of compensation for the above are within the competence
of the Constituent Assembly.

machinery and live-stock, are transferred without compensation to
the State or the community, according to their quantity and
importance.
The confiscation of such machinery or live-stock shall not apply to
