On motion of Mr. Cornell, Mr.'Bailey was ad-

Mr. Cornell, from the committee on Treasurer's
accounts,'presented the following report,• which,
on motion, was adopted, and ordered entered on
the minutes, and the committee discharged.
The undersigned, your Committee on Treasu-
rer's accounts, respectfully report, that after a
thorough examination of his Books and Vouch-
ers, they find the Treasurer's account, as render-
ed, correct, 'From this it appears that the
amount received by the County Treasurer dur-
ing the current year, was—
out, $741,58 00
The amount
paid716,758 78
I3alanen. $224,609 22
State Bonhds on hand $220,000 00
Cash on hand, 4,600 22
$221,000 22
Notwithstanding the above balance in the
Treasury, there is, (owing principally to the great
increase of- the amount of money required by
the Superintendents of the Poor during the past
year, and the large amount of returned taxes,)
a real deficiency, as will appear from the•follow-
ing statement.
The Board at its last session provided means
to pay the interest on the first issue of County
Bonds, and the principal and interest of -the sec-
ond issue.. But three Bonds of the first issue
have not been presented by their holders, and
the interest on them, ($4.5 00,) is yet unpaid.—
Also six Bonds of the second issue, amounting;
principal and interest, to $2,090 C9, have not
been presented for redemption.
In settling with the State authorities, the
Treasurer received $31,300 cash. The balance
net expended for the redemption of County Bonds
is $2,508 16. Ho has also received from the
State about $3,000 for interest on State Bonds,
$65 02 of which has not been expended in pay-
ing interest on County Bonds redeemed. A more
full statement of these transactions may be found
in the report of the committee on County Indebt-
edness.
The sum of the above stated items is $4, 708,-
03, which is in excess of the balance in the Trea-
sury $99 71, as will appear by the follov 1iig
statement :
Tnterest unpaid on three County Bonds,

Four committee are of opinion that the Boun-
ty Fund should be kopt separate and distinct
from monies raised for the ordinary expenses of
the County. if this is not done, complications
would be likely to arise, which might become dif-
ficult to explain or arrange. They would there-
fore recommend for adoption the following reso-
lution:
Jtesotccd, That from the balance in the Treasu-
ry, there be re -appropriated the sum of $•15 011 to
pay interest on three County Bonds of first is-
sue; the further sum of $2,090 60 to pay principal
anal nterent on six County Bonds of the second
issue ; and that there be levied and assessed up-
on the taxable property of the County, tie sum
of 899 71 to make good the bounty fund,fhrsnon-
es drawn therefrom for ordinary purposes,

To The Honorable, The President and Board of
Supervisors of the County of Tompkins,
G.t sviai :
Permit me in behalf of the lata Merchants'
& Farmers' Bank, respectfully, to call your at-
tention to the proper adjustment of the claim of
said lank, for amount of Taxes over charged
and over paid in the year's 1863 and 1864—as will
more fully appear by the papers hereto attached.
By;amisciinceptioii of the law or the construction
thereof, it will be observed that the amount of
tax erroneously levied and collected of said
Bank. in the year 1503 upon United States Secu-
rities which were not legally taxable, amounted
to the sum of 3731 39, and the sum in like man-
ner unlawfully levied and collected in the year
is64,:aniounted to $2311 80, which sums with the
interest thereon as per statement hereto attach-
ed, is claimed as legally and justly due and
should he refunded to said Bank; as.I am advis-
ed has already been done to Banks in the cities
of New York, Albany and other localities where
similar errors were committed.
Your early attention to the subject is respect-
fully solict.ed.
I have the honor to be, very Respectfully, your
obedient Servant,

Kr. Griswold from the Committe on County
Claims to whom was referred the petition of Rev.
Sylvester Minter to have certain taxes claimed to
have been erroneously assessed upon him, for
the year 1864, refunded, presented the follow
ing report and the -same was adopted.
Your Coram ittee to whom was referred. the ap-
plication for relief of the Rev. Sylvester i1inier
from on alleged erroneous assessment on the
part of the Assessors of the Town of Lansing sing in
the year 1863, would respectfully report as fol-
lows:
The applicant for relief is a Methodist. itiner-
ant minister who for the last two years has been
a resident of Cayuga County, but who, owns a
farm in Lansing iar this county. The amount of
the tax paid by the applicant on account of. this
alleged error is $45. This he asks the Board to
refund. . • •
The whole question at issue in this case is the
proper construction of the Statute relative to ex-
emptions, the language of which is as follows:
"flue following property shall be exempt from
taxation * * The real estate of every minis-
ter of the gospel, when occupied i`w him, to the
amount of fifteen hundred dollars."
It is clear that lrr order to • be entitled to the
benefit conferred by the Statute, the claimant
must occupy the real- estate on which the ex-
emption from taxation is asked. In the case be-
fore us the point to be decided is this: "Is the
Rev. Mr. Minicr an rcc'uI)ant of his farm in Lan-
sing, Tompkins County, while his residence is
in Cayuga County ?"
After a careful examination of authorities, and
consultation with able lawyers, your Committee
have conic to the conclusion that the applica-
tion should be denied.
In the opinion at your Committee the words of
the Statute " when occupied 8y him," are without
meaning, unless the legislature intended by
there to restrict the•henefits of the exemption to
cases of actual residence upon the premises by
A
the person who claims these benefits. Neither
on nersl i i p nor enjoyment of the avails of a farm
can of tiacmelyes constitute .an islets victual at»
occupant. of such fariii, either in the legal or ordi-
nary sense. But actual residence upon a farm,
constitutes an individual an occupant thereof,
though, rr.R ira this case, such farm may lie owned
rind its fruits enjoyed by a person residing else-
where.
All which is respectfully submitted.

William It. Hopkins, November 9, 1803.
The earliest action taken by the Board of Su-
pervisors in regard to the payment of Bounties.
was on the 2nd day of December, 1863, which was
for "each volunteer who may hereafter enlist."
From this it appears that these parties were not
induced to enlist by any promise or inducement
of bounty offered by the Board of Supervisors or
any of the Towns.
Your committee have given th ie matter a most
careful consideration, havtuq great sympathy
for the soldiers, to whom we should be glad to
nee the bounties paid, and regret.ing that we are
obliged to consider and decide the case on its le-
gal merits. Respectfully submitted.
