The land - cost the county 129,678.40 and was se lected by the county commissi oners, af ter examining scores of farms that were offered for sale. The site was bought In August of 1909, and a short time later the work : of building the structures -which now house the county's poor was started. . ' .-,..- O , , Total Cost 9181,500. These buildings "consist of the main . building, a power house, a sanitarium for tubercular patients, the superlnten--: dent's cottage and two barns, all erected at a cost of U37.66L These, taken With the purchase price of .' the f arm ' and money expended in general improve ments, bring the total cost of the farm to (181,600 in round figures. ''But this Is not the sum that the new farm cost the county, provided the con tracts made with the purchasers of the . old "Hillside farm" holds good. Under this conUactrtBTfTglmiFsTleTirtHe" Jefferson street road, sold for $1 50.000. Of this sum $30,000 has been paid al ready. If the contract la fulfilled, the county will receive about $165,000 for ' the farm, on an original investment of . 14000; which was the price paid, when It .was purchased half a century ago. , - The difference represents what econo- mistr tall the nneamed tncremencm ts the value given the land through the fact that. Ihe presence and development of a community surrounding it has made It more desirable. Its value belongs to the community, which made it, and for - - this reason the new county farm ts prac-- tlcaliy a gift of the community to the i county. In other words, the unearned "value, plus approximately IIS.OOO,, gives to the people a modern, up-to-the-minute . ' place,1 worth at the lowest estimate $181,800. Location Is Ideal.
