THE RESUI^TS OF INTERIOR COLONIZATION IN FINI.AND 93 



Thence it appears that the vahie of the capital in soil in the smaller hold- 

 ings, those of less than 5 hectares, is relatively greater than it is in the larger 

 farms ; a circumstance due, according to the author, to the fact that on 

 the smaller holdings live stock is relatively more numerous than on the large

c) Capital in buildings. When the 85 lots which were investigated were 

 taken over the value of the capital in buildings was as follows : 



Buildings appurtenant to the lots 17,660 Finnish marks 



Buildings taken over with the land 39, 801 



Taxable value of sites of premises and of roads . . 630 



Total . . . 58,091 



On I July 1912 the value of such capital had risen as follows : 



Buildings 187,867 Finnish marks 



Taxable value of sites of premises and of roads 1,299 " " 



Total . . . 189,166 



Thus the total increase in value was 131,075 Finnish marks. If the 

 average for a single lot be calculated it is found to be as follows : 



When the lots were taken over. — 



Buildings appurtenant to them 208 Finnish marks 



Buildings taken over with the land 468 



Taxable value of sites of premises and of roads. . 7 



Total ... 683 



On I July 1912. 



Buildings 2,210 Finnish marks 



Taxable value of sites of premises and roads . . 15 " " 



Total . . . 2,225 



The average increase in value on a lot is therefore 1,542 Finnish marks. 



These figures are to be regarded as representing the addition made to 



the value of the capital in buildings solely by the colonists' activity in farm-
