The March 1, 1913, value of the dam in question was $12,000, and it should be depreciated on the basis of the useful life, as determined, down to March 1, 1920, to determine the residual value of the dam on that date. One-fourth of the residual value of the dam on March 1, 1920, should be allowed as a loss and depreciation computed for the calendar year 1920 on the useful life as determined for the three-fourths of the old dam remaining and depreciation allowed based upon the useful life for the new part of the dam, construction of which was completed on July 1, 1920, and from which date depreciation should be allowed.
