26 THE SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS.
On motion of IIIc. I-iolden the report was accepted and the
committee discharged.
Olt motion of lir. Patterson the full report as follows was
ordered printed in the proceedings.
1 eport of 11.o Special Comtrtittec of Sulrcrvisoi, , Torupl:irrs County-, appoint-
ed to investigate the nccessil y for a County Hospital for the treatment
of both advanced and incipient cases of tuberculosis.
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors, Tompkins County:
.In pursuance of the resolution adopted by this .Board on December
13th, 19111, your committee has made thorough investigation of the tuber-
culosis problem .in Tompkins County in which we have compared the situa-
tion here with that of other counties and other localities in the: solution of
their problems.
We have consulted with experts qualified by years of devotion to the
anti -tuberculosis movement to advise us in this matter, have inspected in-
stitutions for the treatment of the disease that have been built, to meet
needs in alI respects similar to those of Tompkins County and we feel that
in rendering this report and in malting the recommendations herein made,
we do so with the best interests of the County at heart.
The campaign against tuberculosis in this State, which has fur its slo-
gan "No uncared for Tuberculosis in New York State in 1915", have been
in progress less than four years but already sixteen counties have definitely
authorized the building of county hospitals for the treatment of the disease
more than half of these counties having either completed their institutions
or having them well under way.
Realizing this fact, your committee naturally devoted most of its study
of the tuberculosis needs of Tompkins County to the County Hospital feat-
ure of the program of •prevention adopted by the White Plague Crusaders
of this State.
That there is wide spread interest in our County over the establishing
of a Tuberculosis Hospital is fully evidenced by the following resolutions
adopted bv,the Pomona Grange at a meeting held at Jacksonville on Oc-
tober 7th:
"Whereas, Tuberculosis, a disease recognized by medical profession in all
civilized countries to be communicable, curable in its early stages, and altogether
preventable, has been the cause of the death of three hundred citizens of Tomp-
kins County during th past ten years, orthe death of one person every twelve
days: and
"Whereas, the New York State Grange at Troy last February gave un-
qualified Indorsement to the movement for the establishment of county hospitals
THE SUPERVISORS', PROCEEDINGS
27
for tuberculosis, now being furthered by the State L--aritics Aid Association in
- co-operation with the State Department of Health; and
WHEREAS, many citizens, who having a keen appreciation of human life,
health and happiness have expressed a desire that- an institution for the care
treatment and care of persons suffering from from this disease be established
in this county; and
'WHEREAS, seventeen other counties in this State have already taken the
necessary steps for the establishment of similar hospitals, therefore be it
RESOLVED, that this body urgently request the Board of Supervisors to
take favorable action upon the establishment and maintenance of a tuberculosis
hospital in the county provided necessary funds are available, and be it. fur-
ther.
RESOLVED, That the Secretary of the Pomona Grange be instructed to ,
send a copy of these resolutions to all the local granges and request them to
pass similar resolutions and transmit them to the chairman of the Board of
Supervisors."
HOME CARE.
We have, however, taken up the only other suggestion for caring for
the disease, home care, and have endeavored. to learn the experience of
other committees that have endeavored to solve their tuberculosis problems
by this means. Our investigation of home care convinces us that it is in-
adequate. ZVhilc the visiting nurse is a valuable adjunct to hospital care,
her tivork, nevertheless, does not, in any considerable nurnber of cases, result
in impressing upon the patients or patients' families the need for that. care-
fulness in the Ylestruction of sputum 'and other excreta that is absolutely es-
sential if the spread of the disease is to be controlled.
Fortunately your committee is able to presoat conclusive facts and fig-
ures in this matter. The Visiting Nurses' Association of Baltimore after a
wide experience in the care of consumptives in their homes, has compiled
careful statistics as to the extent to which the nurses, after repeated visits
and careful and often repeated instructions, were able to secure an adequate
degree of carefulness on the part of advanced consumptives, or on the part
of their families in destroying the sputum and protecting their households in
other \vaye.
The study of the Baltimore Association covered 1,1 f 0 cases. Of this
number only 9 could be taught to be adequately careful, although every
aneans known to nursing practice to secure carefulness on the part of the
patients was used. One hundred and forty-three of the 1,1410 patients were
reported as fairly careful.
Two hundred and eighty-nine or 'i,'/n of the cases, after ;r11 instructions
and visits remained "grossly careless"; that is they were a continued menace
to the other members of their families and to the community at large.
Seven hundred and nineteen or 413% remained simply "careless". The re-
port does not state what distinction was made between "carelessness' and
28
THE SUPERv1SOftS' PROCEEDINGS.
"gross carelessness but from the figures above quoted it may be safely as-
sumed that home care and the repeated instruction that goes with repeated
visits of the nurse failed to protect the well members of the family or the
other members of the community in ono thousand and eight cases out of the
one thousand one hundred. sixty cases, n percentage' of safety that makes
home care as a substitute for .hospital wire unworthy- of consideration. -
it must be remembered also that the study above quoted was made in a
city where frequent visits by the nurse were comparatively easy. In a rural
community such as :Tompkins County home care would fall still further
short of solving the problem.
Therefore it is the belief of your committee that hospital care, the only
other plan, is the only effective means of solving this county's tuberculosis
problem.
:THE JUDGMENT OF EXPERTS.
We are basing this judgment not Only upon the above reported figures
but upon the opinions of many experts who have given years of study to
this disease and the means of controlling it.
Chief among these experts is Dr. Arthur Newsholme, Chief Medical Offi-
cer of the Local Government Board of England. Dr. Newsholme is con-
sidered by many the foremost English speaking authority on vital statistics.
Upon the completion of an elaborate study he announced that his study
demonstrated the practicability of hospital caro in the control of infectious
and contagious diseases. He shows that all those contagious diseases tti,hich
have thus fur been brought under control have been conquered by, giving
hospital care to those having the disease in order that the spread of the,in-
fection could be prevented.
Further than this he showed that cities. and countries haying large hos-
pital provision for tuberculosis enjoy a rapidly decreasing- death rate from
that disease. On the other hand, he found that cities and countries having
little hospital provision show little or no reduction in the mortality from it.
These findings by so eminent an authority, would, we believe, be con-
clusive in themselves. But fortunately we do not have to, rely upon one wit-
ness. Dr. Eugene H. Porter, State Commissioner of Health, Dr. Livingston
Farrand, Secretary of the National Association for the study and prevention
of tuberculosis, Dr. S. Adolphus Knopf, Professor of phthisitheray of New
York Past Graduate Hospital, the late Dr. Kocli of Berlin, discoverer of the
Tubercle I;aecillus, Dr. Simon Flexner, Director of the Rockefeller Institute
of Medical Research and other men high in authority are unanimous in the
opinion that hospital care for persons suffering from tuberculosis is ab-
solutely necessary if we are to hope ever to control,this preventable disease
which causes such terrible annual drain upon our people.
• THE SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS. 29
TUE LOSS IN TOMPK1NS COUNTY.
Upon consulting the mortality records we find that Tompkins County
suffers, on the average, loss of thirty- lives from thi s preventable disease
yearly. '.['hose who have given years of study to this.problem estimate that
there arc at least Live living eases of the disease to each reported death.
There probably are many more because physicians frequently fail to report
eases of the disease treated by them. Nov there mny be more than thirty
deaths from the disease each year in this county but certainly there cannot
•be less. We will take the lowest possible estimate of living cases and we
find that there are no less than one hundred and fifty living cases of the
disease in this county at the present time. If we are to believe the testi-
mony of the world famous experts named above we are 'absolutely certain
that this number will continue to increase and the burden upon the taxpay-
ers of the county which it entails will likewise continue to increase unless
immediate steps are taken to stop the spread of the disease.
Professor Wilcox of Cornell, one of the foremost Statisticians of this
country estimates that the value Of a human life to the community may be
conservatively placed at $5,000. This means that with an annual loss of
thirty lives from a preventable disease Tompkins County sufl:ers a prevent-
able loss of $150,000 each year. When it is realized that these thirty deaths
are due to a disease that is curable in ,its early stages this tremenduous
drain is truly appalling.
TUBERCULOSIS AND PAUPERISM.
Aside from the misery caused directly by tuberculosis and aside from
the fact that uncontrolled tuberculosis is a continuing menace to the health
•and happiness of the community,' the disease has an important bearing on
another county problem. Close students of tuberculosis in its social aspects
are unanimously of the opinion that the disease is one of the•greaatest single
known causes of pauperism. A study of the problem of orphanage is Ren-
selear County points conclusively to this fact. It was discovered that 53%
of the inmates in the orphan asylums of Rensselear County were orphans
and therefore burdens upon the taxpayers of the County because at least one
of their parents died of tuberculosis. The committee regrets that it did not
have the time to study the problems of pauperism and orphanism in Tomp-
kins County. We believe, however, that our situation differs in no way from
that' in Eensselear County and that the same appalling situation would be
revealed here• With the results of the investigation that have been made in
other parts of the country and especially in this State at our cpmmand we
are fortunately relieved of the necessity of making so elaborate an investi-
gation of this phase of the problem, as'that which produced the above fig-
ures.
HOW TO MEET THE SITUATION.
Your committee. believes that the facts above set forth prove con-
clusively that Tompkins County needs a County Hospital for the treatment
$0

of both advanced and incipient cases and we furthermore believe that this
Board will be derelict in its duty to the people if it fails to proceed im-
mediately to establish the institution which is so conclusively shown to be
necessary.
THE COUNTY HOSPITAL LAW.
Your Committee finds on the statute books a law giving this Board au-
thority- to establish a tuberculosis hospital. The Law is Chapter 1S of the
Laws of 1909, and, in brief, states that the Board of Supervisors of any
County shall have power by re. majority vote to establish a County Hospital
for the care and treatment of persons suffering from tuberculosis; that they
may purchase or lease real property or acquire such property by condemna-
tion, may erect all necessary buildings and cause to be assessed, levied and
collected such sums as -it shall deem necessary; may appopint a Board of
Managers for said hospital and may accept and hold in trust any bequest of
money or lands for such purpose. It is unnecessary- at this point to give a
futher summary of the law, suffice it t.o say that sixteen counties either have
built or arc building hospitals under its terms and that the law, carefully
drawn as it was by those familiar with the needs of the situation, provides
ample safeguards against legal difficulties.
KIND OF INSTITU'I'IO\.
There are three plans suggested as possibilities for meeting the needs
of the County, these are: 1. An institution on the County Farm to be run
as an adjunct to the Almshouse. 2. A hospital built from the ground up
on ]and at present barren of buildings. 3. Buying a farm with good build-
ings upon it and converting the buildings to hospital uses.
1:—A 11 Alnnsliouse Iospital.
The cojiimittec deems the Almshouse Hospital out of the question.
Placing the institution on the County Farm would practically restrict its
use to the County's dependents. This would nullify, to 'a great extent, the
good work that the tuberculosis hospitals would otherwise do. The chief
use of these hospitals is the prevention of the spread of the infection. This
is especially valuable lo the community is farnilies of workers, self-respect-
ing and self-supporting citizens. Rivalling in importance the prevention of
infection is the work the hospital docs' in ,curing those suffering from the
disease in its early stages. The fundamental purposes of the anti -tuber-
culosis movement, as we see theist, arc: prevention of the spread of the in-
fection and the return to lives of productivity and economic independence
those persons who, before they became sick, had been self-supporting citi-
zens. Restricting the use of the institutions to the County's dependents as
to all intents and purposes placing it in the Almshouse property would do,
would be a most uneconomical expenditure of the County's money and
would be the heighth of cruelty to those who could not avail themselves of
its benefits without loss of that self respect which makes even a hint of
pauperism bitterly abhorrent.
THE SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS.
2.=lfospitul Built L cont the Ground Up.
31
Your committee inspected several properties which will be reported on
in a separate report, offered to the county as sites for a County Hospital. We
have also examined many institutions and have coine to the conclusion that
a hospital built from the ground up would be needlessly expensive.
We, therefore., recommend proposition No. 3, the establishment of a
hospital on a site near the center of population of the county, that is at
present equipped with buildings that, with a relatively 'small expenditure
may be converted into a County Hospital.
INSTITUTIONS VISITED.
1. .Bon Air. One of the institutions visited by your committee in its
quest for information on this subject is Tion Air Sanitarium located about
midway between Olean, N. }:., and Bradford, Pa., just over the line in the
State of Pennsylvania. As an example of what may be done in establishing
a Sanitarium that can do a tremendous amount of good work on a relative-
'ly small outlay for plant and maintenance, Bon Air is in a Class by itself.
The administration building of the institution is a remodelled farm house,
this contains the office of the superintendent and physicians, quarters for
the nurses and dining room and kitchen, The institution is on the cottage
plan. It is composed of the Administration Building and some twelve or
fifteen shacks, housing from two to four 'patients each.
One of the most impressive features of Bon Air Sanitarium was the in-
expensiveness of the construction prevailing throughout the institution. The
shacks have been built for from $125 to $175 per bed. A shack, 22x12, re-
markably attractive both inside and out, has been constructed for $350. This
shack provides for two patients. It has a dressing room, a bath and a toilet,
It was built by the Knights of Columbus of Bradford and is considered by
Superintendent Melvin to be an ideal shack in every respect. The interior
is sealed with compo boards. The interior trim is of a poor grade of pine
lumber but has been stained in such a way as to make it exceedingly attrac-,
tive. The price of the shack includes the plumbing and all the fittings, ex-
cept the beds and movable furniture.
The fact that the Knights of Columbus built this shack and furnished
it suggested the possibility of a similar plan being adopted in Tompkins
County.
Your committee believes that if fraternal organizations, the churches,
the lodges and possibly the factories of Tompkins County were to put up
shacks on the proposed county hospital site similar to that of the Knights
of Columbus at Bon Air, the success of the institution would be practically
assured from the start.
Your commitee visited other shacks put up by various organizations at
Bon Air and found that the patients were most willing to accept hospital
32
THE SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS.
treatment if they got shacks which were devoted entirely to the use of the
members of their own church or their own fraternity.
A shack for four patients had .been put up by the Larkin Soap Com-
pany of Buffalo for the use of the workers in the Larkin stores.
A four -patient shack with toilet and bath conveniences bad been con-
structed for $545. Other shacks for two patients, without bath, had been
built for $ 198. A lean-to with dressing room, bath and other conveniences
had been constructed for five patients for $600. Altogether, there were 42
patients in the institution. They carne from Bradford and Olean chiefly, but
two or three were there from Buffalo.
your committee was deeply impressed with the hopeful spirit of the
institution. not only among the employees of the place, most of whom are
cured cases of tuberculosis, but. among the patients tlremselres. We failed to
note any depression among the patients. Those who have claimed that a
gathering 'together of many people suffering from the same disease would
result disastrously for many of them, are entirely contraverted by the at-
mosphere at Tion Air and the other institutions visited by your committee.
2. Ontario County Hospital.' The first county to build a Counts- Hos-
pital under the law above described was Ontario. Your committee made a
thorough inspection of this institution and believe that with the exception
of some mistakes in construction which would not have been made if the in-
stitution had not been a pioneer, the example of Ontario County could
profitably be followed by Tompkins County. Unfortunately for Ontario
County, it chose a site upon which there were no buildings which could be
adapted to hospital uses. This greatly increased the cost of construction.
Oakmount Sanitarium, as the Ontario County Hospital is called. proves
conclusively that those who claim that patients will not' go to a eounty hos-
pital are wrong. The institution has been 111 operation scarcely eight
months. ft originally provided for sixteen patients.. The demands
upon the' institution had increased. however in the six months it had been
in operation, so that in the August meeting of the Board of Miinagers. the
Board decided to ask the Board of Supervisors on Ontario County for an ap-
propriation to build an eight -patient shack increasing the institution to one
of twenty beds. There. was at that time a waiting list of ien, in less than a
month, however, the waiting list had increased to sixteen and the institu-
tion may web consider itself successful in the point of view of patrons. We
found that Oakmount cost $1,040 for site and buildings, $12,000 of this
sum was put in a building for patients. The cost of this construction ivas
considerably increased by the fact that great difficulty in locating an ade-
quate water supply was experienced. The equipment cost $2,800,
The building is two stories high, the main building; being 55 ft. x. 36
ft. with a wing 48 ft. x. 24 ft. The first floor of the main building is used
entirely- for the dispensary, offices: kitchens and dining room. separate kitch-

for both the patients and the necessary help.
The first floor of the wing is used for sle,eping rooms of the patients,
the same arrangement being carried out on the second floor, which is de-
voted to sleeping rooms, linen closets, etc. There are five hath rooms with
all necessary fixtures. As a matter of interest only, we mention the salaries
paid to the officers, nurses and help employed at the institution.

One-half of all their patients are self-supporting.
Among other institutions visited were some of the more preteutioils
Sainitariunis in the Adirondacks.
Ray Brook located at Ray Brook, N. Y., maintained by the State of
New York. This eventually will be a fine institution. The buildings are
brick and being added to each year. There are now something like four
hundred patients in the institution.
Adirondaek Cottage Sanitarium located at Saranac Lake, N. Y. This
is Dr. Truilean's fustitution and certainly the most complete place of its
kind in this State. It comprises a colIectioh of- beautiful cottages, adminis-
tration buildings, places to do light work if patients 'desire. There are here.
about 100 patients.
Sanitorium Gabriels located at Gabriels, N. Y. This sanitarium con-
ducted by the Sisters of Mercy has been in operation about fifteen years.
Here there is in operation the cottage plan, dormitories and also a novel
so-called "shack plan" for the mild weather. This latter plan consists of
using discarded "Street Cars". 'L'hey are secured, dismantled, located on
the ground nicely furnished with bed, chiffonier, chair, etc., electric -lighted
and make a model sleeping room.
One of these cars is fitted with bath, toilet and all conveniences of a
modern bath room. They have ten of these cars in use and are considered
by the patients the most desirable sleeping apartments there. This institu-
tion cares for about 75 patients.
Foresters' Sanitarium located at Rainbow Lake, N. Y., is an institution
maintained by the Order of Foresters and has about 60 patients.

COST OF CONSTRUCTION.
Judging by the experience of other counties and taking into considera-
tion the relative death rate from the disease your committee estimates that
an institution providing for twenty advanced cases would be adequate to
meet the needs of Tompkins County. The cost of constructing such a hos-
pital from the ground up has been shown to be approximately $500 per bed,
bringing the total cost of the institution up to approximately $10,000. Your
committee, however, is of the opinion that this could be considerably re-
duced by following the plan adopted at Bon Air, above described, and
Loomis Sanitarium, Liberty, N. Y., both of which are built around remodel- ,
-
led buildings. The cost of maintenance is estimated at from $1 to $1,25 per
day per patient. Upon the estimate of a hospital for twenty patients, the
annual cost of maintenance would be approximately $9,000 per year, which
would be largely met by a per cliern charge for the care of patients. While
your committee has no hope of such an institution being entirely self-sup-
porting. the maintenance can be largely met by the income derived from
paid patients. The experience of other counties and of institutions sirnii,ir
to the 011P Tompkins county will be called upon to build shows that th_s cost

of maintenance can be considerably reduced by establishing the institution
on a farm Iarge enough to, supply the hospital the year round with milk
and eggs and in the summer with the garden vegetables. •
ACCESSIBILITY.
In considering sites for a county hospital your committee has taken the
advice of experts who have had a long experience in dealing 'with tuber-
culosis hospital problems. This advice has all been alike in urging as a
prime consideration, accessibility. We believe that this Board will agree
with us that it would be folly to spend the county's money to establish a
hospital so far removed from available lines of transportation that persons
who need it would not go to it. Experts declare with one voico that while
good drainage, good soil, southern and south-eastern exposure, protection
from the prevailing winds of winter and enough altitude to take the institu-
tion as much as possible out of valley fogs zine all important, the most im-
portant point is to have the institution near enough to the point from which
the largest number of patients will come to avoid the danger of homesick-
ness. The Tompkins County Hospital, in our opinion, should be located
,either on the railroad or street ear line or within a mile or mile and a
quarter of one.
The State Charities Aid Association stands ready to give the Board of
Supervisors the expert advice of Dr. Thomas S. Carrington, consulting expert
of hospital conditions of New York department of Health, and the Assistant
Secretary of the National Association for the study and prevention of Tuber-
culosis, and in charge of its Bureau of Construction, the only expense at-
tached thereto is his travelling and living expenses for one or two days while
engaged in the work, and your committee earnestly recommend that Dr.
Carrington be invited to examine the several available sites ere one is loca-
ted.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
Your committee recommends that this Board proceed immediately to
acquire a site upon which are buildings that may be remodelled in order that
the County may at the earliest possible moment be in a position to meet its
tuberculosis needs and in order that the cost of meeting those needs may be
reduced to a minimum.

To the Board of Supervisors:
The Good Roads Co'nmittee, to whom was referred .the /tatter of the
- action instituted by Bailey, Johnson & Saunders against the County of
Tompkins, submit the following\ report:
The action was brought in June, 1911, through Daniel Crowley, Esq,,
and your Board answered through its attorney, Bert T. Baker.
The action was brought to recover alleged balances due plaintiffs on
the various contracts with the County for the construction of various roads
in the County amounting to $578.28, and interest thereon from April 1, 1909.
The County answered admitting $99.24 due on Road No. 338 and
0.32,74 due on Roads Nos. 336. and 455, but alleged as an offset and counter-
claim payment of an order for $100, No. 56: $105 due the county for rent
of the stone yard building: $100 paid William Nelson Noble, Esq., March
19, 1910, by the Good Roads Construction Committee for services; and
$300 advanced by the Board of Supervisors to William Nelson Noble. Esq.,
in•December, 1910.
We have found through the efforts of your attorney that said order
No. 56 for $100 was not paid and is not a proper offset. We are advised
by your attorney that the $300 paid to William Nelson Noble, Esq., in De-
THE SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS
71
cember, 1910, is not a proper offset, and accordingly we find that there is
due the plaintiff, Bailey,,Johnson and Saunders from the County as follows:
Balance due on Road No. 338 $ 99.24
Balance due on Roads Nos. 336 and CI 132.74
Order No. 56 not paid 100.00

Through the efforts of your attorney, Mr. Crowley, the plaintiff's At-

ment to him of the sun of $147.27 without costs, and your committee
recommend such settlement.
