In larger amounts as the membership
increases. For your information and
more directly challenging your atten-
ton, let me ask and answer for YOU
how these appropriations have been
expended in the past and how and for
what they will be expended in the
future.
The annual payroll of all classes will
amount to about 500, 600 per annum.
Most OF the employees are men with
families and large per centum of their
wages is spent with you and the farm
ers in the vicinity of the Branch. The
remainder of the appropriation is used
in the purchase of the supplies required
in maintaining the several departments
OF the Branch. Johnson City is in the
midst of wheat-growing section, we
will use the flour from about 10000
bushels of wheat this year. Grass is
indigenous to your soil, your farmers
are shippers of cattle to the Eastern
markets, while we are forced to 60 to

johnson City is in fhe center of the

of the State, and we are allowed-shall
l say for want of enterprise on your
part?-to go elsewhere for %, 900 pounds
of dried fruit per annum. A few years
ago, your farmers brought potatoes to
this market and they event begging
at twenty five to fifty cents per bushel.
We consume from seven to ten thou.
sand bushels per annum and have had
to go as far as Michigan for some oi

Every business man is aware of a
nearby market for what he has to sell.
However much you may produce, what
ever you may manufacture, any and all
things you may store on your shelves
and in your warehouse, is but dead
capital until you find purchaser.
"The Home" or more accurately,
The Mountain Branch, National Home
for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, the
next-door neighbor to Johnson City,
has grown up gradually in your midst,
in the past few years, and few Of you
realize that from commercial stand
point, it is a great n-producing, cash
buying consumer of an almost endless
variety of the products of farm and fac
tory, of what you produce here, and
what you gather from other sections.
The Congressional appropriations, on
construction account, to this time,
amount to the sum of $1,S29, 500, and
with the donation for library, by Mr..
Andrew Carnegie, to 81, 1854, 500.
1t is fact that nonresident con-
tractors secured the contracts for
the erection of the buildings for
the reason that johnson City
was not prepared to compete for
the business but fully one half of the
amount was paid out here for the
material and labor you did furnish, and
the laoorers in turn, spent their part in
your stores, so that you were the ulti-
mate benefciaries. But the work of
construction is about completed, and
you may be indulging in mental
inquiries as to what you may expect
iii the future.
The Branch was opened for the
admission of members on the 10Th of
October 1908, little more than two
years ago. Today it has membership
of 1911. Previous Congressional ap-
propriations on maintenance account
amount in the aggregate to 1907, 500.
For next year, on this account, Con-
gress will be asked to appropriate more
than $500, 900, and annually thereafter,

Several years since the Board of Edu-
