Fifteen Thousand ($15,000) Dollars be appropriated for improving and equipping the 11-Ieany property as a• Tuberculosis Hospital. There was appropriated, however, the sum of -,Five Thousand ($5000) Dollars, wh ch together with the generous gift of Mr. R. H. Trerihan, made a total of Seven Thousand ($7000) Dollars for the improving and- establishing the Tuberculosis Hospital. This Committee thereupon -made `some original estimates, which were as follows: For water supply • $1000.00 Heating plant . . 600.00 Plumbing for entire building 600.00 Electric wiring and fixtures ' 300.00 Remodeling main building, building parches, • ete. 3000.00 Disposal of sewerage 750.00 Basement partially excavated 500.00 Miiscellaneous . 250.00 Total . $7000.00 This Committee was authorized by the Board to make -Lhe necessary im- provements and changes, and.in doing so to .confer with the Board of Man- agers of the Hospital, and the improvements -and changes made have all 1 16 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS been done with _the approval of the said Board, and many of them at its -request and suggestion. . This Committee .in its original estimate intended to wire the' .building and connect with the electric power plant at Taughannock Falls at an estimat- ed cast of from $250 to $300. • This Board, however, decided and authorized this Committee to purchase a- Colt. acetylene generator, which' has -Meant an additional expense of $500. " The Committee,: under th'e appropriation made { by the Board, did not plan to excavate the entire -basement, but after the Board made a personal visit to .the hospital' and -expressed the opinion that the entire cellar should be excavated, the Committee went ahead with .such excavation at an additional cost. of $577 over the original' estimate .of the Committee. In the original estimate, no thought, was taken of the painting and decorating, but the Committee found it absolutely necessary for the pro, tection of the new work on the outside, as well as- for the looks of the in- side walls, to have this work done at an expense of $743.40: The estimate on the water system was $1000. The final cost, however,has been $1272 ,61, which includes the fire protection in the building, hose in the cellar and one on each floor.- This shows an. expenditure of $272.61 above the original es- timate. For the heating and plumbing of the building, the original estimate was $1100, while the actual expense .of installing such fixtures has been "r $1383.59, or, a cost of $283.59 above the original estimate. The original estimate for the septic tank and the necessary drainage tile was $750, which shows an additional 'expense incurred of $175 above the original estimate. • In making the necessary improvements and changes, the Committee has also incurred various'expenses which were not listed in our original estimates, several of which are as follows: Architect's fees, $245.05, necessity of hav- ing a watchman to protect the buildings -at night and Sundays, at a cost of $130. The Committee also deemed it •advisable to rebuild 'the "outlook at a cost of from $50 to $75, together with making the necessary survey and ad- ditional other expenses In regard to the question of water supply. The Committee did not screen the porches and windows, as recommended by the State Board of Charities, and this Committee hereby recommends that in raising funds for the payment of the unpaid.accounts, that a sufficient" sum be raised for the purp,kise of screening the building. The Committee hereby recommends that the Board 'of Supervisors authorize the County Treasurer to borrow the sum of Three Thousand ($3000) Dollars in anticipation of- the. collection of taxes for the year.19141, for the purpose of paying the unsettled claims against the Tuberculosis Hos- pital, and for the pui•pose of screening the porches ,and windows, •as" above stated. The Committee, ih summing up this report, •begs to state drat we have done the best that we could to construct and "equip the Hospital and in do- OIC TOMPKINS, COUNTY, NEW YORK 17 ing so have had the interests of the people of Tompkins County in view at all times. _ Respectfully submitted, R.

Y., December 15, t9] 3., 1 Chairman Board of Supervisors, Tompkins Co., Ithaca, N. Y. • 104 PROCEEDINGS OF THE' BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Dear Sir: , There seems to be a misunderstanding in regard to blue prints of ri#ht- of-way which have been sent out by this department. Owing to the fact that. the construction or so many highways has been delayed after the contract has been awarded by reason of the failure 'of the Board of Supervisors to obtain the necessary right of way, the Highway De- partment has been sending out 'these right of way maps some time in ad- vance of the advertising for contracts wherever possible. This has, in a measure, relieved the situation. It appears, however, that in some counties the Highway Committee has pirchased outright these, parcels of right of way and have actually paid the money to the individuals, whose property has been acquired. This is entirely •wrong, as slight modifications might possibly be: made to these plans previous to letting, and in •some cases construction might be delayed a year or two, then a succeeding Board of Supervisors might so change the system as to make it impossible to ever construct, therefore, no property should be purchased until such time as it would seem the con- tract was likely to•be awarded. Properly executed releases would answer the same purpose and would save the county from any unnecessary expense. Iiindly ignore any previous instructions or request in relation to this matter. Very truly yours, R. K. FULLER, Secretary. l'doved, seconded and carried that the Board adjourn. TWENTY-SECOND DAY Thursday, December, 18, 1913. Morning Session. Ron- call. . All members present.
