To the Honorable Board of Supervisors: We, the undersigned Good Roads Committee appointed F2 The Supervisors' Proceedings. Pebruary 27th, 1907, and in accordance with a resolution of that date beg to submit for your consideration the following report together with such recommendation as we believe to be for the best interests of the County. - Prom such reports and records as are on file, we have com- piled the following financial report or all expenditures pertain- ing to this department. Total moneys available for all purposes -522,S05 42 Amount unexpended or on hand with County Tres. __ 3,100 84 Leaving total amount expended to date _-$19,704 58 The following unpaid bills which have been approved by former Committees for machinery and materials delivered: Olin Gas Engine Co. ----$657 20 Climax Road Machine Co. 350 00 ,„----------------- 135 00 " 15 00 Groton Bridge Co------------------------- 273 59 Cayuga Lake Cement Co. 200 0o Trmnan Ring S,Co------------------------ 1.5 00 C.

Presumably the former Committee was waiting until the work would be completed before distributing such items to the various contracts. Inasmuch as the expense was already incurred, we have included same in the above report as a proper charge to the work now completed. The amount of such items are as follows: Amount previously reported as a loss on work done $ 816 84 Account designated in ledger as general expense 1,346 78 Expense incurred in Sheehey Quarry 768y6(i Cost of all cement purchased and not accounted for 450 83 Difference between cost $2,500.00 and inventory price of $2,075.00 for crusher, bins, 5 'wagons and a sprinkler----------------------------- 425.00, Difference in cost $456.80 and inventory price of $360.00 for 5 Studebaker wagons------------- 96 80 Difference in cost $135.00 and inventory price of $100.00 for 1 screen ------------- 35 00 T¢ The Supervisors' Proceedings. The balance of the loss would indicate the de- preciation on machinery, tools and for machinery, tools and materials not otherwise accounted for or located by this Committee_ ------------- $1,481-84 Total loss as above reported------------------ $5,421 75 Your former Committee report a contraetwith the Monarch Road Roller Co. for one traction engine at a cost price of $1,400,00. As the engine has not been delivered and not been paid for we have not taken this item into account. The records on file show the amount paid for machinery and tools to date ---------------------- $10,129 33 Present inventory value of 9,429 50 Or a difference of------------------------------ $ 699 83 'which is included in above report. While the foregoing statement indicates a large loss to the County on work now completed, it. is proper to tale into ac- count the fact that considerable expense has been necessarily'in- curred by former Committees in the way of investigation and experiments that would not be necessary in the future, and therefore it might be that if your Committee were to continue the construction of Good Roads that it could be accomplished with a less per cent. of loss than is here sbated for work done. However it is the judgment of your Committee that if some private contractor will assume the unfinished portions of all contracts between this Board and the State without material loss to the County, and that all machinery, tools and materials can be disposed of to good advantage, that it would be for the best interests of the County to sell and discontinue the con- tracting business. All of which is respectfully submitted. WILLIAM H. PARKER, CEO. R. PECK, CHAS. H. BEACH, Committee.

We would also report the fixing id dampers in connection with the boiler. During the year your conuuittee had the windows in front of the Court Jlouse, which have attracted so 11111;1 attention, repaired and new glass inserted. The windows in the Granit Jury Room, as per orders of the Court, have IVO The .SupelJlso!s' Proceedings. also been changed sa that it is now possible to veukilate the room 1`eoun the top or the windows instead or at the bottom as formerly. We would also report the changing of the water supply in the Court House so that it is now possible to get drinking water in the antenoom or the court room direct from the city supply instead of from a water tank, as formerly. This change was made at the request of carious jurymen who claimed that the water from the drinking tank was not fit for use. We would also report in connection with the Supervisors' room, the changing of the locks on the Sup- ervisors' desks, as directed by the Board, also the placing of moulding around the baseboard or the room. IiUBR['[URI, UEPi\lUS, ETC. During the year 1906 a former building committee en- tered into a contract with Edward J. Curtis for the repaint- ing of the G'ourt House, at the cost of :$22430. The com- mittee in question reported to your Board that the contract called for two coats of paint over the entire surface of the building, when as a matuerof fact, the agreement was that the wood work of the building was to he painted two coats of paint, and the main portion of the building, which is plastered work, was to have the new spots touched up and Mien the entire plastered wort: painted one coat. 201er the contractor had complied with his contract, it became appar- ent to4he couunittoe that the paintapplied had not covered up the detects as intended, and the building had a mottled appearance. The couunittee in consequence was then forced to have another coat of paint applied to the plastered por- tion of the building, and the committee entered into an agreement with the above mentioned contractor to apply another coat of paint and to also at the same time paint the guttas and the roof of the tower which had not been taken into umsidmation by the first committee. For this work AN. Curtis asked the sum of $20100 00 and fir which he has rendered a bill to the County to be acted -upon b1- this Board.

The electrical apparatus was repaired a number of times, also some cell doors, and the water used iu connection with the closers so arranged that the same can be shut off at the pleasure of the turnkey. COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE During the year the heater in this building has been taken apart and thoroughly overhauled and repaired and put in first-class condition, also some shelving rearranged as per request of the County Clerk, windows repaired, new stools purchased, and alta.irs repaired, also wash -bowl in the Surrogate's office repaired, and the electrical apparatus in the vault repaired. COUNTY ALMSHOUSE. Your committee would report the following repairs made at the a1mve mentioned building. The main barn has been newly shingled and the Moor in the horse barn taken up and a. now one substituted and various doings in the living po- tion of the almshouse have been changed at the request of Arr. Van Ostrand. During the year the laundry apparatus contracted for by a fernier committee at it total cost of x+508.00 has been installed. To cover this amount there was appropriated by a former Board the sum of 9588.25, thus leaving a shortage of :0.75, which was paid by the County Treasurer out ()['the general fund. The apparatus in question is now in hood working order, and your committee is advised that the county officials at the Almshouse are thoroughly satisfied with the same. The above mentioned contract also included a pinup for pumping water Air fire protection and other purposes. With the pump is included about two hundred feet of hese to he used in case of fire. Your committee is tuldsed that under the present arrangement, this part or the apparatus is of r¢z The Supervisors' Proreedings little value, from the fact that the water storage is so =_wall, the pump very quickly exhausts the supply of water. During the year the gas plant has been overhauled and placed in good condition, also the sower pipes cleaned and repaired and the pipes carrying the mato- Quit the spring to the windmill have On received attmliom and put in good condition.

Sour committee would also call ynur attention to the Not that a former committee of this toard in purchas- ing this property, permitted the late Ain Bostwick to retain the privilege of a right of way for a railroad switch across the property. This we consider to have been a very great concession considering the very liberal price paid for the property and one which would be very disadvantageous for the County were they to dispose of the property. eft curi- ous times during the rear, varhms members of the Baud or Supervisors have had applications from carious people want- ing to rent the hnilding on this property for storage purposes, but as it,, authority has been given tiny committee, or mem- ber of this Board to rent or lease ibc: property, it has lain unproductive for two years. Your couuuittee would respectfully recomuuemd that the Board or Supervisors take up the mutter of the disposal of this property of as advantageous a price as is yuossible to secure, or the placing of the property in good repair and to rent or lease the same, so that it may not remain a total loss The Suficrviso,T Proceedings.

While the child was originally sent to that institution front the town of Groton, we are reliably informed that after her parents had ceased to claim or have a residence in this county she was discharged from and taken front said institution by her parents and removed to the State of California, where she and they resided for over one year; that oil their return to the State of New York, they took up and acquired a residence in Broome County, N.

Ball case was stricken from claim No. 1.20, and said claim was audited in and I'or the sae of $13(1.00. Claims W 78 and 28 were brought to the attention of the Board, but no action was taken. The Chairman produced it communication received from rgo The Supervisors' Proceedings. Air. Noble, Attorney for the Board, eoncm•ning claim No. (16 and other stenographers' (Mints, and the same was ordered tiled and printed ill the minutes. The communication was as follows: Hon. Orlando White, Chairman Board of Supervisors: Dear sir:—I beg to submit the following suggestions, in con- nection with the so-called stenographers' bills (No. b5, 56, 57, 58 and ]Ol of H. L. O'Daniel and No. tib of J. Reed Smith, Esq.), in all aggregating $244.00, each of which has been submitted to tire, as the attorney and counsel of the Board, for my opinion as to whether it is a legal county charge. With. reference to each of these bills, after careful examina- tion of the law, I have submitted a written opinion showing that none of them contains any legal charge against the county, and that all of them should be disallowed. Indeed, I could not do otherwise, else I would'be amenable to those provisions of the Penal Code ( 165 and 166 ) which make it a felony for any one to assist or even connive at the audit, allowance or payment of a claim against the county which is false or fraudulent. It happens, however, that the services covered by each bill were requested by some officer of either the city or of the county, whose official dirties are exclusively confined to the administra- tion of the criminal law ( of whom two, at least, are lawyers and so are presumed to know something of the law ), and it also ap- pears that rather unusual efforts are being exerted to secure the allowance of these bills. But I cannot conceive that either our district attorney or the recorder of the city of Ithaca would for a moment advocate, or in any way try to secure the payment of such a bill, if he did not sincerely believe it to be a county charge, and therefore, as it seems au important question of law has arisen which ought to be settled, I make, therefore, the following suggestions: 1. If these bills are rejected the action of the Board of Supervisors in this regard will, in uty opinion, end the matter; for, after fully investigating the case for the purpose of a court The Supervisors' Proceedings. I91 proceeding, no lawyer will advise his client to take action in any court against the Board of Supervisors based upon a claitn that anything in any one of these bills is a county charge, and 2. If, however, the bills are disallowed and I atn mistaken in this prophecy, the question should be settled; and I make this proposition, viz, : I will defend to the end each and every pro. ceeding that may be brought against the county, or the Board of Supervisors, in consequence of the rejection of any or all of these bills, entirely free of expense to the County and Me Board of Supervisors. (reserving, however, to myself, such costs as I may actually recover from the opposing party): and, in case I am wrong in my judgment of the matter and an adverse final judg- ment shall be awarded, I will pay to each and every such final judgment for costs that may be entered against the County or the Board of Supervisors, and save each harmless therefrom—all this, however, with the understanding that S may defend each such case through all the courts into which it may be carried. In conclusion I will say that such a disposition of these un- lawful charges will test the sincerity of those who are urging the Board to allow them as county charges; and, if any claimant shall be "so venturesome as to submit his bill to the courts, an in- structive decision, without expense to the public, will be reached. And such a decision, doubtless, will be exceedingly useful to the Board of Supervisors in the future. Yours respectfully, WXI. NELSON NOBLE. On motion of N[r.

EDNVAED J. DIONL, Clerk. 1qs The Supervisors' Proceedings. REPORT OF GOOD ROADS c6MR11T'TEE To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County: Your construction committee on Good Roads would respect- fully report as follows: For the information of new members of the Board, your com- mittee think it advisable to start at the beginning of Tompkins County's advent into the contracting business. On August 21st, 1906, there was appointed under a resolu- tion of this Board a committee, composed of A. N. Miller, Dr. W. C.•Gallagher, J. J. Hanshaw, H. B. Pearsall, and Berkley Simpson, to go to Albany and to there bid off, if possible, a cer- tain number of contracts for road construction, which were at the time being advertised for bids, designated as No. 454, :336, 338, 483 and 455, consisting in all of five separate contracts. The committee proceeded to Albany as directed, successfully bidding off above mentioned roads and proceeded under above named resolution to purchase the necessary machinery and started work op the contracts. After purchasing approximately $1.2,5i:3._ 08 worth of machinery, tool, supplies, etc., work was started on road No. 454 and about $:333.:39 of the work done. There was also let by this committee a sub contract to P. R. Kiley to grade section 2 of the Catskill 'Turnpike. Mr. Kiley did $;1,011.50 grading on his contract and before time to resume work this spring, packed up his tools and abandoned his contract. This committee also sublet a contract to W. J. Troy to grade road No. '336, Cayuga Heights. Mr. 'Troy did $930.00 work at which time he was released by your Board from his contract. After the committee had been in office about six weeks, or to be exact, on Oct. 6th, there was passed by this Board a certain resolution which is of record, whereby above mentioned Commit- tee was succeeded by a new committee, composed of R. N. Mount, The Suiervisors', Proceedivigs• f99 Dr. W. C. Gallagherand Charles Beach whocontinued eoustruction until Dec. 1st, 1906, at which time work was discontinued for the winter. At this time the various contracts, as far as completion was concerned, were as follows: No. 454, 7 per cent. $2,326.71; No. 386, 4 per cent. $1,327.25; No. 338, 17 per cent. $2,228.87; No. 455, no work. No. 453, no work. Above mentioned com- ntittee continued in charge of construction until Feb. 27th, at which time, Owing to the retirement front the Board of Supervisors of Messrs. Mount and Gallagher, it was necessary to again name a new committee, which your Board did, nauning William H. Park- er, Geo. R. Peck and Charles H. Beach, wlticll eouunittee is still in existence, and who would respectfully report that oil March 27th, your committee entered into five separate contracts with Bailey, Johnson and Saunders whereby the connuittee sub -let above mentioned contracts, forthe following sums: No. 454, $:;0,912.04; No. 433, $35,655.25; No. 335, $10,882.13; No. 3:36, $31,854.72; No. 455,$3,851.25, reserving on 454, 8:36 and oil :3:35, $5S8.28, 10 per cent, oil all work by foruner committees. Your committee also sold to the above mentioned firm, all Tile machinery, tools and supplies owned by the County at that time purchased for construc- tion purposes on above mentioned contracts. Above mentioned contractors started work on or about April l.st on road 454 and also did some work on 338, continuing up to Sept. 9th, at which time they discontinued work owing to the fact that the, State Engineering Dept. held up payments. At the time of discontinuing work, they served various notices and legal papers oil the County through your committee and various officials looking to their being relieved front contracts and reimbursed for losses claimed by them. , . After some very lengthy conferences and propositions of va- rious kinds passing, with which your Board is fairly familiar, through reports and ratifications of acts of your committee, the above mentioned company after certain concessions were made, which will appear farther oil in this report, again resumed opera- tions and continued until on or about Nov. 14th, at which time they sublet sections two and three of Catskill 'Turnpike to Ogden & Nve, of Rochester, N. V., together with the privilege of using all machinery purchased liy Bailey, Johnson & Saunders front the County. At the same time Bailey, Johnson & Saunders also entered 200 The Supervisors' Proceedings. into all agreement with the Standard Construction Company of Wilkesbarre, Pa., to complete the Wyckoff Road No. 465 and the Cayuga Heights Road No. 336, thus leaving Bailer, John- son and Saunders the little remaining work to be done o❑ No. 424 to be performed by their company. INSURANCE 1 Ir. Ogden, of Ogden & Nye, reports to your committee that he has had the machinery and tools insured as follows: $3,500.00 on all machinery, etc., o❑ Catskill Turnpike. $2,000.00 oil all machinery, tools, etc., stored at. County Building, West State Street. This firm also reports the careful housing of all machinery where possible, and the careful placing of all tools in safety for the winter, and report all machinery, tools, etc., in fair condition; and while their inventory is not yet completed so that your com- urittee can check the same up with inventories belonging to the County, the feel safe in saying the plant is intact, as per a former report. CONCESSIONS AS PER A FORMER REPORT These consist of the return to the County of one 20-H. P. traction engine, the release from payment of indebetedness of former committees in securing contracts and purchasing machin- ery and the release from interest charges on plant as originally purchased. RIGHT OF WAY In the matter of rights of way acquired by County for these contracts, tinder County Treasurer Benjamin, he held that such rights of way were County charges, and for those acquired dar- ing his administration, payments for same were made by him out of unexpended balances of County funds in his hands. Under County Treasurer Robinson, all payments of rights of way and condemnation proceedings have been paid for by him out of the proceeds of Bond Issues, issued expressly for the cost of construe - tion. Our former clerk held that these rights of way were to be The Sufiervisors' Proceerdhvg's. zor paid for jointly, one-halfby the State and one-half by the County, and that lie was to make out the necessary papers to forward to Albany, that the County might be reimbursed for the State's share; but to the knowledge of this committee, no such report was ever made. We are advised by judge Blood that there is but little question but these are State and County charges jointly on these improvements, and your committee, through the Clerk of this Board, will take this matter up for settlement with the Counp- troller at an early date. These rights of way have cost the - County $2,128.33, not including committee work. MATTER OF PAYMENT, BAILEY, JOHNSON & SAUNDERS. When $2,000.00 note is finally liquidated, out of the way, there will still be due the County the sunt of $8,410.27, payments for which are provided for in au agreementdrawn by the Attorney for the Board and Bailey, Johnson & Saunders, which provides ,. as follows: final 10010 on Catskill Turnpike, section 3, also Cayuga Heights and Wyckoff Road, respectively, which final payment will liquidate the debt of Bailey, Johnson & Saunders to the County, or will leave it so infinitesimally small that Bailey, Johnson & Saunders or their successors will liquidate any balance to release their property from our chattel mortgage. BAILEY, JOHNSON & SAUNDERS NOTE. As explained in a former report to your Board, your Conn mittee under direction of the Attorney for this Board, took a note of Bailey, Johnson & Saunders for $2,500.00, to apply on pur- chase -price of machinery or plant sold this firm. This note, by direction of the Attorney, was discontinued at the First National Batik and a certificate of deposit taken on which the County will receive interest at 3 per cent. since date of issue, there has been applied oil this note $194.00 and there is in the County Treasurer's hands an item of $270.00 that belongs to Bailey, Johnson & Saunders, to also apply oil note, but through an unfortunate ex- change of checks at last settlement had with Bailey, Johnson & Saunders, instead of making above mentioned amount payable to C. W. Gay, Cashier, to apply on note, check was trade payable to the County Treasurer, and your Committee tip to the present zoz The Supervisors' Poceed£ag.s. time has not regained possession of this suer or been able to have it applied properly. Payments of this note are secured by au assignment of Bailey, Johnson & Saunders, interest in excavation and gradin.- contract radingcontract sublet to Standard Construction Co., on No. 336 Cayuga Heights, and '1.0 per cent. No. 338 Catskill Turnpike. Work is now practically completed for the year and progress as reported by the State is as follows to Nov. 1st, 1.907: No. 454, !)2 per cent. completed; No. :3:38, 38 percent. com- pleted; No. 48:3, 70 per cent, completed; No. 3:36, 25 per cent. conn pleted; No. 4.55, no estimate, Your committee would respectfully report the payment of in- terest oil bonds for 6 mos_. 1907 out of construction funds, amount $500.00, which we contend should be returned to the fund and paid out of the General County foods.
