A. F. HOWARD, Chairman Board of Assessors. The Clerk read the following report of the Committee on County Luildings, which on motion of Mr. Simpson was re- ceived and ordered printed: The building committee of 1904 wishes to make -the fol- lowing report: The County Clerk's Office has been thoroughly overhauled and new equipment has been installed in place of the old wood cases. The steam plant has been overhauled, thus making a saving of at least io% in fuel. The steam and water pipes in the vault that were open and liable to burst and clestroy valuable papers, have been placed under a new concrete floor, thus insuring perfect safety of hundreds of valuable papers. -A, conservative estimate is that the horizontal roller book cases will save at, least $200.00 each year in book binding. Before the new equipment was installed the office was crowded beyond its capacity ; this new equipment has increased the capacity of the Clerk's Office about 25%. Valuable papers that were exposed to tl,e public and fire are now under lock and are safe from fire. At the Court House: A new set of tubes has been put in the boiler and other valuable improvements have been added to it. New tilting windows have been placed in the Super- visors' Room to insure good ventilation. 54 The Supervisors' Proceedings. A new cement walk has been laid in front of the jail and Court House; the old walk had been complained of and was in very bad condition. On the west side of the Court House there is a thorough- fare that is used as much as any street in the city. Through this place pedestrians crossing the park have to pass. Nearly one-half of the drainage from the park ran through this thor- oughfare. As it was, the water constantly washed it full of holes, often running close to the walls of the Court House; the water was constantly running through the walls into the base- ment of the Court House. This had caused the wall to sett: - and in a -short time would have ruined the foundation entirely. To prevent this, a concrete road bed was laid from the park to the street. This road bed is from eight to sixteen inches thick and is a thorough protection to the walls of the Court House. Last winter \4iss Reed fell and broke her hip in this place on account of the rough condition of the ground. Now it is level and can be easily cleaned. Tf Miss Reed sues the Countv. which I understand she threatens to do, it will cost many times what this walk has. At the Alms House, a new generator has been put in place of the old one, at no additional cost to the County. The acety- lene plant is now in first class condition. The wind mill is in good condition and Eas furnished plenty of water for domes- tic purposes during 19o5. A new roof has been placed on the keeper's part, thus leaving the buildings in good condition. Recommendations i. A water tower for fire. protection. 2. A steam latindre.

The buildings are of brick, except the frame two-story building occupied by the Superintendent and by the women inmates. The men's bnild- ing has two stories and a cellar. The service building con- nected with both the others by corridors, has dining rooms and kitchen on the main floor, and laundry, and cellars in the basement. This building has but one story above the base- ment. All the buildings are in good repair. Recent Improvements: An acetylene gas plant has been employed. New tank for the hotwater heater. New shingling, ,on Superintendent's part of frame building. The improvement in lighting was recommended by the State Board of Charities. Contemplated Improvements: Power pump for water service, to supplement the windmill. Heating: By steam. The low pressure boiler is in the basement of the service, building. , Lighting: By acetylene. The generator (carbide feed) is in a ceiled chamher in the basement of the service building. Ventilation: By doors and windows and by fireplaces in the men's building. The cellar of the men's building is ,poorly ventilated. Water Supply: The supply is of good quality, but defect- ive in service and pressure. A covered reservoir of spring water furnishes the supply which is pumped from a receiving cistern by windmill to two tanks in the attic. The supply is not dependable. , Rain water cisterns are also used. Bathing Facilities: Iron tubs are provided for each sex. ITot and cold water connections. Laundry Appliances: Hand appliances only. The lawn- dr_v room is below the kitchen. A steam laundry is needed. Drainage: by .5-incli cementjoint tile to a cesspool about 3o rods in the rear of the almshouse. Precautions Against Fire: One-half inch rubber hose is attached to standpipes depending for pressure on attic tanks. Dry and liquid chemical extinguishers are used. Fire pails, . filled, and baud grenades are well distributed. The water supply should be bettered as to pressure for fire purposes. 252 The Supcivisbrs' .Proceedings Means of Escape in the Event of fire: By interior stairs, and from the uvonien's building by outside wooden stairs from a veranda.

" The dormitory rooms were found in good order and beds well made, covered with white spreads, clean and free from -vermin. The inmates appear to -be properly cared for. They say they are well fed. The food supplies were of good quality. 'The assistant matron oversees the preperation of the food. The bread is excellent. The detention room in the basement of the men's building is suitable for the purpose for which it was built. Its present use as a voluntary sleeping room by a male inmate who has an offensive fever sore, should not be continued. Among the inmates are a man named Cavanaugh, aged -48, who is insane, and should be committed to the State Hos- pital. His son, Clarence Cavanaugh, aged 21, is an idiot, who should be sent to Rome. lie has lost the use of his legs, appar- ently through inaction, as he could walk quite well when he came to the almshouse about three years ago. Since then he has sat constantly in a chair opposite his father, beside the "same bed. The father walks about a little but will not exercise nor permit his sou to be removed from his presence. He says he and his son both have large fishes in their stomachs. The two epileptics, Cook, aged 28, and Williams, aged 35, "should go to Sonvea. The most pressing need is for better water service. A reservoir of,sufficient elevation to give good pressure, should -Le provided. This would be far cheaper than rebuilding.alms- house buildings which now have inadequate protection from fire. The improvements needed are: t. A reservoir of water delivered upder good pressure -with outside hydrants, hose and interior standpipes with hose attached. 2. Hospital equipment for isolation cases. 3. A steam laundry plant. The Supervisors' Proceedings 255 4. Removal of horse barn from its present site. 5. New ice house and cold storage room. 6. Shower baths. Respectfully submitted, WM. C. ROGERS, Dated, November 1, 1905. Inspector. REPORT OF INSPECTION OF TOMPKINS COUNTY JAIL. Located at Ithaca. Inspected by the Secretary October 6, 1905. The number of inmates on the day of inspection was 5, all men. One of these was a court prisoner, and 4 were serving sentences. The highest number at any one time during the past year was 28; the average 17. During the year there were 30 women committed. The most women at any one time was 6. There were also during the year 6 witnesses and 1 civil prisoner. The jail contains on the first floor four, single and four double cells. On one side of the second floor there are two cells and a room for court prisoners, and the same for women on the other side. Hence the jail has only three departments. There is no place provided for the separate custody of wit- nesses, civil prisoners and juveniles. Failure to provide for the separate housing of these classes of prisoners is not only unwise, but it is a distinct violation of the County_ Law. The interior of the jail is very (lark, especially the cells on the first floor. The side walls are very thick, and the window openings small. These small openings are so obstructed with double sets of wide iron bars as to render them almost useless for the admission of light. These windows should be enlarged, and be furnished with a single set of round tool -proof steel bars. The jail is heated with steam and lighted with electricity. 256 The Supervisors' Proceedings Employment: The prisoners are employed in highway improvement on the roads in the township of Ithaca, outside the city. In the winter they are employed in the stone shed. The number employed varies from three to eleven. The usual number is from five to seven. The jail is kept scrupulously clean,_and the beds have woven wire mattresses and blankets for bedding. The office of sheriff is a salaried one. The cost of board- ing the prisoners last year was forty-three cents a day per capita. . ' JUSTICES OF THE PEACE.
