Hired houses with land that have been specially regis- 

 tered may be acquired as housemen's holdings after the 

 passing of this law, when the hirer fulfils the conditions 

 made in the said law. In addition to the sum mentioned 

 in 11, up to 250,000 kroner may be spent yearly for that 

 purpose.

The owner of a houseman's holding established accord- 

 ing to the Acts of March 24, 1899, or April 22, 3904, 

 may, if he sends in his petition before April 1, 1914, 

 receive an additional loan to defray the expenses of 

 acquiring land for the extension of the holding, and of 

 erecting the buildings necessary to that purpose. The 

 additional loan is to be reckoned at T V (nine-tenths) of 

 the amount by which the loan value of the houseman's 

 holding has been augmented (compare 7), but the addi- 

 tional loan must not, however, exceed 2100 kroner if the 

 holding has been established under the Act of March 24, 

 1899, and 1400 kroner if it has been established under 

 the Act of April 22, 1904. In those cases where the 

 original loan, owing to the exceptionally high prices of 

 land in the said district, respectively exceeds 3600 kroner 

 or 4500 kroner, the total sum of the original loan and 

 the additional loan must not, however, exceed ^ (nine- 

 tenths) of 8000 kroner. 



An additional loan may further be granted to the 

 owner of a houseman's holding established under the 

 Acts of March 24, 1899, or April 22, 1904, or under the 

 present Act, when, after the making of the original valua- 

 tion, he has cultivated waste land belonging to the original 

 lands of the holding, or has made such thorough improve- 

 ments of the land, such as by draining, as have visibly 

 increased the value of the property. The amount of the 

 additional loan is in such cases to be fixed partly with 

 regard to the increase in value produced by the said im-
