462 AGRICULTURAL APPROPRIATION BILL, 1924. 



Mr. Kitchen. Twentv-five thousand dollars. 



Mr. Magee. That would make S155,000 plus $25,000. 



Mr. Kitchen. Which would be SI 80,000, subtracted from $210,000 

 would leave SGO.OOO. 



Mr. Magke. The interest is how much? 



Mr. Kitchen. Forty-eight thousand dollars. 



Mr. Magee. You figure that at 5 per cent? 



Mr. Kitchen. Five per cent on S960,000 would be $48,000. Sub- 

 tracting that from 860,000, leaves SI 2,000. 



Mr. Magee. Do you know what your insurance would be ? 



Mr. Kitchen. No; but it certainly would not be more than that. 

 We will check that item up, though, to make Sure. 



Note. — As nearly as can be ascertained, the amount of the fire insurance premium 

 paid in the past on' the Center Market property was approximately $5,000 per annum. 



Mr. Tenny. I want to make one statement about that $11,000 

 increase. If we have anything to do with the market we are going 

 to get that baked goods stufi' under cover and 



Mr. Anderson (interposing). That what? 



Mr. Tenny. Baked goods, pies, cakes, that is now handled out in 

 the open market. That has got to go under glass cases, and we are 

 very anxious to have an increase to take care of the amount of im- 

 provements necessary. 



Mr. Anderson. How much would be involved in that? 



Mr. Tenny. Mr. Kitchen, can you give an estimate i 



Mr. Kitchen. We have not prepared an estimate on that. Stands 

 already built have cost us about $1,000 apiece. 



Mr. Magee. How much? 



Mr. Kitchen. About $1,000 apiece. 



Mr. Anderson. You said that you increased the rent 20 per cent 

 when you made improvements. Twenty per cent on what? 



Mr. Kitchen. Over what it is now, to reimburse us for the im- 

 provements. I fed that it is only proper if we improve a man's 

 facilities to let him pay a little more. It is only fair if we improve 

 a man's facilties that we should be reimbursed gradually for those 

 improvements. 



Mr. Anderson. Are there any further questions? If not, we will 

 take up the next item. 



Mr. fJuMP. Doctor Ball and Doctor Langworthy are here to present 

 the estimates of tlie Bureau of Home Economics.
