Sec.  211.21  Evidence to be submitted by claimant.



    (a) All claims must be substantiated by competent evidence. If the 

claim is for rent or other payment the claimant should furnish evidence 

as to the value of the property, income from the property if previously 

rented, or rental value of similar property in the vicinity. If the 

property is under a formal lease to the Government, the claimant should 

identify the lease and state the covenants of the lease upon which he 

predicates his claim. Where the claim is for damage to the property 

which has been or can be economically repaired the claimant should 

submit in triplicate an itemized signed statement or estimate of the 

cost of repairs and copies of itemized receipts, evidencing payment for 

any expenditures made in relation to the property for which 

reimbursement is claimed.

    (b) In support of claims for damage to crops the claimant should 

submit a statement showing the number of acres, or other unit measure of 

crops damaged, the normal yield per unit, the gross amount which would 

have been realized from normal yield, and an estimate of the further 

cost of cultivation, harvesting and marketing; if the crops are one 

which need not be planted each year, the diminution in value of the land 

beyond the damage to the current year's crop should also be stated. All 

such statements or estimates should, if possible, be by disinterested 

competent witnesses, preferably responsible dealers of the type of 

property damaged.
