Greenhouse Construction

Our earlier decisions concerned greenhouses which ware stated to be temporary in nature, the greenhouses constructed in recent years such as that involved in the hearings on the 1954 Agriculture appropriation bill, presumably, are little, if any different than the greenhouses now questioned in the memorandum. Furthermore, the Congress in making specific exceptions for the construction of "headhouses connecting greenhouses" without specifically exempting greenhouses must be presumed as having recognized the fact that the construction of such headhouses was made necessary primarily because of the construction of new greenhouses. Those greenhouses have been described in recent hearings as being of substantial size and the amounts involved indicate the cost thereof to be in excess of $10,000, the maximum authorized for buildings in the currant departmental appropriation act.
