Conclusion of Law III should be modified by striking out the figures 17,139.10 after the dollar sign and substituting therefor the figures 29,639.10. The judgment should be modified by striking out the figures 17,139.10 appearing therein and substituting therefor the figures 29,639.10. As so modified the findings and judgments are affirmed.
