by HIGH LIVING COST
Per Capita Maintenance Jumps
From $53.98 to $64.27 in
Past Year.

High cost Of living has made a
perceptible difference in the cost OF
maintaining the Soldiers Home in

ment, made public today, along with

soners of the Soldiers Home.
The average cost of maintenance
per capita during the fiscal year 1919.

average cost per man per year for the
fiscal year 1920 was $77l.2l or S64.27
per month.
The average cost of subsistence per
man per day also increased slightly.
The inspector general reports con-
ditions at the Soldiers Home, under
the administration of General Taskcr
Ii. Bliss, generally satisfactory.
Secretary Baker extends his con.
gratulations to General Bliss and to
all concerned in the management OF
the home, on the excellence of con-
ditions.
In the course of the report of the
board Of commissioners of the home,
attention is directed. among other
things, to the progress of additional
construction to increase hospital
facilities. One new ward building
and other improvements are being
constructed, the contract price being
$G64 39S. The work was 16la per cent
done on juno 80 and will be com
pleted rapidly. The improvements Is
will add about 1s0 beds TO the hos
