102 TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART II 



Improvements 



The Board did not attempt to make any extensive improvements 

 outside of completing the cattle barn and sale pavilion. There was 

 expended on this building during the past year, $31,109.05 and there 

 is still due about $3,700 on contracts. This brings the total cost of 

 the building up to $210,802, and to this should be added the value of 

 the two brick barns incorporated in and made a part of the completed 

 structure. The value of these two barns, based on cost less the 

 annual depreciation, is $9,608, making the total cost of the barn, as 

 it now stands $220,410. The other items of improvements are fully 

 set out in the statement and include additions or permanent improve- 

 ments to existing buildings. The total amount spent for additions 

 and permanent improvements during the past year was $54,909.74.
