The next question which must be considered is, "Why is the cost of production more at a certain station one year than it is another?'' A careful look at Tables 1 and 2 will reveal that a considerable increase in cost occurred at the Bluewater Station in 1954. As a result of ex- pansion at this station in order to use the water supply available to produce legal-size fish, new living quarters were constructed for added personnel. In addition to this, replacement of outlet drains for the raceways was completed in 1954. Large capital expenditures, such as this, were not charged off at a percentage of total cost, based on depreciation rates, since such a breakdown would require services of an accountant and would not add one fish to total production. The cost of producing fish by the pound also increased greatly at Anaconda during 1955 and was high in 1954. In 1954, septic tanks were installed and a new garage w'as constructed. This cost, of course, increased the "all other expenses" category for this station. The repair and replace- ment of the water supply pipeline at this station in 1955 explains tlie increase in production cost in jiart. Also production at Anaconda Typical of Montana's fish hatchery instal- lations, is the Anaconda Station. of necessity, intcrrui)te(I in order tliat work could progress on the pipeline; all fish had to lie jilanted out before they reached the period of maximum summer growtli and the cost per pound greatly increased in 1955 over 1954. The cost of production at Big Timber also was much higher in 1954 than in 1955 as a result of repairs on hatchery buildings and re- placement of pipelines. .\ similar situation is noted for the Great Falls station and was partly a result of the construction of a water tank in 1954. Also, the cost of production at Poison was sl
