In the afternoon, Dr. Chapin and Steward Gilbert tendered their services to the Board, in conducting them through the various stores, meat market, laundry, .dining -rooms, and kitchen connected with the asylum., giving the Board an opportunity, which they embraced, of making a personal examination of the methods employed by the authorities in the care and maintenance of the patients. Later on in the afternoon the visit was further extended to the farm, farm buildings, and the different kinds of stock, and in every instance a detailed .explanation was given by Dr: Chapin of the workings of every department visited. Returning to the Superin- tendent's apartments, tea was served, after which, and when the Board had assembled together, Mr. Boise, Chairman of the Conf- mittee on State. Charitable Institutions, moved that the Chairman of the Board, Hon. David Crocker, call upon Mr. Hodson to thank Dr. Chapin and his assistants, for the manner in which the Board had been received and entertained by them: Mr. Hodson then addressed- Dr. Chapin, and after expressing the thanks of the Board for the genial hospitality and. uniform tour-, tesy extended to them during the day, said: It has been the sentiment of all' the members of this Board of b Supervisors, many times expressed during the day, that the respon- sibility of this great institution, with all its different departments and varied interests, rests most worthily upon the present Superin- tendent. And this Board will return home to -night with the feel- ing that the unfortunate insane from Tompkins County are in kind "and. good hands, and with the knowledge that their treatment and maintenance is in every respect excellent." Dr. Chapin responded in a few well chosen remarks, in which he said: "I do not appropriate to myself any credit for attention shown you during the day; I have only done what I believe to be my'duty as an officer of this institution, and I feel amply repaid for all that I have done for you, by your showing such a marked interest.in the affairs of the asylum, and: so thoroughly investigating the meth- .1 SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS. 89 ods employed in the care and support of the patients. This has been done by you to a greater exte t-than by any other Board of Supervisors that has visited the asylum."

SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS. 75 Afternoon Session. Board met pursuant to adjournment,.,-� Roll Call —Full Board. Mr. Beers off ered-tlie following preamble and resolution, which as, on motion o Mr. Crozier, adopted-. lte eas, It has become frequent for officers and persons, who have no au- ority in such matters, to order medical examinations in lunacy cases; now, erefore, Resolved, Tuat the Board of Supervisors will not audit the bill of, any phy- ician for such examination, unless such bill distinctly shows on its face that e same was authorized by the proper officer, as designated to chapter 446, ws of 1874.

David Crocker, for the efficient and impartial manner with which be has presided over our deliberations during the present'seasion. On the adoption of the above resolution, Chairman Crocker ad- jdressed the Board as follows: Gentlemen: —It is unnecessary for me to say, that I feel grateful for this vote of thanks. If I have performed the duties of presiding officer acceptably during this session, it is, in•a measure, owing to your forbearance and courtesy. I felt at the time you selected me to preside over your delibera- tions, that you had extended to me an unmerited compliment. I have endeavored, to the best of my. ability, to maintain with a P 76 SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS. Strict impartiality the dignity of the chair, and the. observance order, and am happy to believe that in. so doing no sting has be left behind. The course which you have pursued to carry.out much need reforms, and to obliterate old party precedents, will, I believe, w a plaudit greater than,I can give.them; the approval of a majori of your constituents; and all efforts of interested parties to crea an adverse sentiment will prove unavailing. It is a matter of congratulation to you, as a Board, that notwitl standing the State tax for this county is upwards of $13,000 mor than last year, yet by your care and economy the county expense have been correspondingly decreased the present year. Again, gentlemen, I thank- you for the past, and crave your bes wishes for the future, and if there be no further business we wi] listen to the reading of the minutes of the day's proceedings; pre paratory to the final adjournment of the Board. There being no further business, the minutes of the day's pre ceedings were accordingly read and approved,,when, on motion, th Board adjourned without day. DEVOE P. HODSON, Clerk.
