file in the office of the County Clerk of said County, said lot having
been sold for the unpaid taxes of 1908 under an assessment to one
Arthur Sweetland, and at an expense to the County of $11.74, and
OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 33
WHEREAS—The same property, being continuously carried on the as-
sessment rolls of the Town of Ithaca in the name of Arthur Sweetland
was successively sold to the county on December 9, 1912, at a cost of
$21.67, and on February 16, 1915, at a cost of $18.36, making a total cost
to the county for the three sales of $51.77, and
WHEREAS—A search of the records shows that Mrs. C. W. Harrington
was the' lawful owner of said Lot No. 128, covering the years mentioned
and has never sold or transferred title thereto to Arthur Sweetland
or any other person, and no record of such sale or transfer appears in
the County Clerk's office and the tax records show that she has con-
tinuously paid the taxes on said lot, and
WIIEREAS—The assessment rolls of the Town of Ithaca show that in
the years 1907, 1908, 1909, 1910, and 1911, said Lot No. 128 was assess-
ed to two different persons, namely, Mrs. C. W. Harrington and Arthur
Sweetland under their respective' names on the rolls and they also show
that during these years Arthur Sweetland never paid the tax on said
lot and that Mrs. C. .W. Harrington did pay such tax, and the rolls also
show that said lot has never been assessed to the county .nor dropped
from the rolls because of being county property, despite the fact that
the county has three deeds to it, each being recorded, the date of the
first deed being November 9, 1909, and
WHEREAS The records do show that Arthur Sweetland became the
owner of Lot No. 126 (not 128) in the year 1898 and that on the rolls
of 1907, 1908, 1909, 1910 and 1911 he was assessed with Lot 128 and
not with Lot 126, and from 1912 to 1916 inclusive Lot No. 126 was
assessed to him and that he paid no taxes thereon and that in April
1918 Lot No. 126 was sold to the county for the unpaid taxes of
1915, and
WHEREAS By reason of the errors of assessment recited herein, the
title to Lot No. 128 has been taken from its lawful owner, Mrs. C. W.
Harrington, and the county 'has been put to the unnecessary expense
in the initial sum of $51.77 and has lost the use of said sum. for the
tern of five years, therefore be it
Resolved—That ;the Committee in Charge of Lands acquired by the
County at tax sale be and is hereby empowered and directed to execute

WHEREAS—This Board of Supervisors did, on April 25, 1917, designate
for immediate improvement as a State and County Highway, the high-
way beginning at the macadam at the four corners in the Village of
Dryden, Tompkins County, N. Y., and running thence southeasterly on
the Harford road to the Cortland County line, a distance of 4.5 miles, and
WHEREAS—It now appears that this county's share of state money,
available for the improvement of State and County Highways, will not
be sufficient to more than construct the highways designated for im-
provement prior to the highway above mentioned, thus making the im-
provement of this highway impossible under the State and County
System, and -
WHEREAS—The improvement of this highway is of great importance
to the system of highways -in this State, being one of the main con-
necting links between Trunk Lines No. 4 at Owego and No. 6 at Auburn,
thus facilitating traffic between the cities and towns of the Southern

Resolved—That we, the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County,
New York, respectfully petition the State Commission of Highways and

Your Committee on Equalization reports that they have examined the
assessment rolls of the several tax districts in the County of Tompkins,
for the purpose of ascertaining whether the valuation in one tax district
bears a just relation to the valuations in all the tax districts in the
county; that in the opinion of the members of the committee such valua-
tions do not bear such just relations to the valuations in all the tax dis-
tricts of the county, and your committee would recommend that the valu-
ations of the several tax districts, in order that they may bear such just
relations, be increased or diminished according to the following state-
ments so as to make the aggregate equalized valuations as indicated in
the tabular statement above.
And your committee would also report that they have determined upon
proper inquiry and investigation the ratio or percentage which the asses-
sed value of the real property in each tax district bears to its full value
and would recommend that, based upon such determination of your com-
mittee that the board establish such ratios or percentages which are
determined and in the opinion of your committee are as follows:
68 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OI? SUPERVISORS
Caroline 97 Per Cent

Enfield 97 Per Cent
Groton 99 Per Cent
Ithaca City 100 Per Cent

That your committee have, in accord with such percentage compiled,
and that the foregoing tables shows the aggregate valuations of each tax
district, as determined from the actual values of property fixed according
to the above ratios or percentages and the average rate of assessment of
real property in the county which your committee have determined ac-
cording to the rules laid down by Statute, to be .98796+ and that the table
shows by such valuations the several and aggregate valuations upon
which the taxes for the county, including the state taxes, should be
apportioned between the several tax districts of the county.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Mr. Fish offered the following resolution and moved its adoption:
WHEREAS—On the 1st day of December, 1919, the County of Tompkins
purchased at tax sale, for the unpaid taxes of 1916, alleged property in
.the 'Town of Ithaca assessed to Fred Stevens, and at a cost to the county
of $15.94, and
WHEREAS --This property was assessed as real estate, when, in fact, it
should not have been assessed at all, in view of the fact that when the
property was viewed' by the Assessor it consisted of a pile of lumber on
lands of the Remington Salt Co. Thu Assessor ascertained that this pile
of lumber was supposedly to be used in building a lake side cottage on
the land upon which it was piled, and, not ascertaining who owned this
land but presuming that a cottage would immediately be built at this .
location and that the land and cottage thereon would be owned by said
Fred Stevens, thereupon assessed said Fred Stevens with such property.
Fred Stevens, becoming aware of such assessment, removed the lumber
and did not build upon this land. A tax was levied against the property
that seemed to be covered by this assessment as it appeared upon the
assessment roll, was unpaid, and was returned to the County Treasurer,
who credited the Town of Ithaca with such tax and proceeded to collect
by tax sale. When the time for redemption expired and the County
Treasurer was about to deed to the county, it was discovered that no
such property existed, therefore be it
72 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Resolved—That the County Treasurer be, and he is hereby directed
to charge against the Town of Ithaca, the sum of $15.94, being the en-
tire amount of the cost to the county of this error of assessment, the
same to be included in the current annual budget of the Town of Ithaca
and levied upon and collected from its taxable property and paid to the
County Treasurer, to reimburse the county.
Seconded by Mr. St. John. Carried.

AFTERNOON SESSION
Roll call. All members present, except MM'Ir. Bishop.
Mr. Fish, of the Committee Having Charge of Lands Acquired by
the County at Tax Sale, to which was referred the petition of Lottie H.
Granger for a refund of taxes, rendered the following report of that
committee:
With reference to the petition of Lottie H. Granger for a return of
monies paid by her to redeem property sold at tax sale, your Committee
finds as follows:
That a State and County Tax of 50.35 was levied in 1917 against
Lot No. 72 in the City of Ithaca, assessed to Lottie H. Granger. That
the tax roll upon which this tax was extended was placed in the office
of the City Chamberlain for collection on the 22d. day of January, 1918.
That the. City Chamberlain settled with the County Treasurer for this
tax on the 20th. day of June, 1918, and that the tax 'levied against this
Lot No. 72 was unpaid at that time and was so returned, together with
all other unpaid taxes of that levy.
96 PROCEEDINGS OF TIIE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
That the City Chamberlain had no authority, to receive any State
and County Taxes for 1917 after June 20, 1918, and only the County
Treasurer had such authority.
That Lottie Granger or Oscar Granger paid a City Tax for 1918 and ,
received a receipt from the City Chamberlain therefor, dated February
6, 1919, and Lottie Granger apparently paid the same tax a second time
and received a receipt therefor, dated April 25, 1919.
This second payment, which she claims in her petition should have
been applied to the back State and County Tax, could not have been so
applied by the City Chamberlain to whom it was paid, because of the
fact that his authority to receive such tax terminated more than ten
months previously.
The County Treasurer advertised this property, among others, for
the unpaid taxes and it 'was purchased by the county on the 24th.. day
of October, 1918. It was advertised by him for redemption and was
then redeemed by Lottie H. Granger on September 2G, 1919, at a cost
to her of $15.48.
It is this amount which she asks to have returned to her by the
county, claiming the City Chamberlain was in error in not applying her
second payment of City Tax to the unpaid State and County `Pax.
Because of the facts above recited, your Committee would recommend
that her petition be not allowed.
Respectfully submitted, this 19th. day of December, 1919.
WILBER G. FISH,

Moved by Mr. Fish, that the report of the Committee be accepted

the Fourth Brigade District, the Sixth Judicial District, or by law or

2. Salaries of officers and employees heretofore authorized by this
Board, as shown by the report of the Committee on County OfVeers and

ments to this Committee by the several auditing committees.

ensuing annual session, claims to be audited by the Superintendents of the
Poor, certificates of the County Clerk and other officers of the Court, and
OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 123

seems necessary and advisable to this committee.

ways now under contract, will amount to the sum of $72,600,00, thus re-
ducing the amount of State Funds available to Tompkins County to the
sum of $32,400.00, and
WHEREAS—There is a possibility that the State of New York may
reimburse, for the use of Tompkins County, this loss of $72,600.00 for
highway construction, therefore be it
Resolved—That it is the sense of this Board of Supervisors of Tomp-
kins County, N. Y., that it is to the best interests of Tompkins County
to complete the Mecklenburg Road, in the Town of Enfield, with the
best road possible with the money available, and the highway in the Town
of Lansing, -leading from South Lansing east and north through North
Lansing to the Cayuga County line, at as early a date as possible, and,
with that end in view, we respectfully petition the State Commission of
Highways as follows:
lst. That, if no other State Funds will be available to Tompkins
County than the sum of $32,400.00, above referred to, said Commission
construct said Mecklenburg Road, for its entire distance to the Schuyler
County line, of as well a constructed highway as is possible 'with the
State Funds available, with the addition of the 34% to be paid by Tomp-
kins County.
2nd. That, if the State shall reimburse the county for the loss of the
$72,600.00 above referred to, said Commission construct both the Meck-
lenburg Road and the highway leading from South Lansing east and
north through North Lansing to the Cayuga County line, for their en-
tire distance, of as well a constructed highway as is possible with the
State Funds available therefor, with the addition of the 34% to be paid
by Tompkins County, and be it further
Resolved That the Clerk of this Board be directed to transmit forth-
with a certified copy of this resolution to the State Commission of High-
ways.
Seconded by Mr. Begent.
Ayes -11. Noes—O. Carried.
There being no further business to come before the Board, the
Temporary Chairman declared the annual session for 1919 adjourned
without date.

the expenses, over and above the balance of poor funds in
the hands of the county treasurer, for the town and
county poor to be supported at the county home for the
ensuing year to be $ 4,500.00
For Outdoor relief and almshouse maintenance 4,200.00
For services of overseers of poor and superintendents'
expenses 450.00
For transportation 500.00
For physician and chaplain at county home 350.00
Total $10,000.00
During the year the following improvements have been made at the
county farm:
5000 feet of ditch has been excavated and drain tile laid and covered,'
entirely with help of the inmates and regular farm help.
44 rods of new woven wire fencing has been built.
About 1 1-2 acres of old orchard has been cleared of the old trees
and stumps and 100 rods of hedge and fence row cleared on the land
newly acquired.
A new concrete floor has been laid in one of the tool houses.
During the year a new roof has been put on the main barn, the corn
crib and tool sheds.
OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 197
RECOMMENDATIONS
First—That your Board appropriate for the year 1919-1920 for the
.upport of town and county poor and physician and chaplain at the
county home, and for outdoor relief, for services of overseers, for super-
intendents' expenses and transportation, the sum of $10,000.00 in excess
of the balance in the poor fund of Nov. 15, 1919.
Secmd—As in previous years, we again call to your attention the
inefficient and expensive lighting system now in use at the county home,
and suggest that the installation of an electric system at an early date be
favorably considered, both on account of safety and economy.
Third—In our report of last year we called to your attention the need
of hospital facilities in connection with the county home, at the same time
realizing the fact that the unsettled condition of labor problems and
prices of material which have prevailed since the war, it was desirable
to only include those items of expense which were indispensable to the
routine administration of the institution.
But, we would be recreant to an important duty were we to omit, re-
ferring to the necessity for the construction of an up-to-date county hos-
pital at the county home.
We have had during the year four cases which were taken from the
county home to the Ithaca City Hospital.
The county has had five cases; the City of Ithaca has had eight,
the Towns of Dryden, Caroline and Enfield have had two each; the Towns
of Lansing, Groton and Ulysses have had one each which should have
had hospital care.
Nearly every town has had several cases which they have been obliged
to take to the city hospital, which could have been cared for more satis-
factorily and economically in a county hospital.
On account of these conditions, the State Inspectors of the State
Board of Charities have insisted, that a suitable hospital building, with
all patients under the care and supervision of a competent nurse, is the
greatest need of this Institution. And further, quoting a recent com-
munication from State Superintendent Robert W. Hill, "It has been ap-
parent for years that the Tompkins County Almshouse needed better
hospital facilities for the care of sick inmates," and this matter has been
reported by inspectors so that the necessity is fully recognized by those
familiar with the almshouse.
We cannot refrain from calling your attention to, and commending
the manner in which the employees at the county home have performed
their several duties. The nature of the work is difficult in the best
circumstances.

REPORT OF
BOARD OF MANAGERS
OF TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors:
Gentlemen:—
In accordance with Section 47, Article 7, of County Laws, we have
the honor to submit herewith •the 7th annual report of the. Board of
Managers of the Tompkins County Tuberculosis Hospital for the year
ending Nov. 1st, 1919.
During the year, 60 patients were admitted, and 55 discharged; of
these discharged, 17 died. 3' patients died within 36 hours after ad-
mission.
There were 14 patients discharged improved, and 24 unimproved.
During the year 15 patients were admitted from out of county. The
average daily population was 21 and the total days of treatment 8004.
IMPROVEMENTS
The hospital has been wired for electric lights, these have been in
use since May 7th. During the summer the entire outside and tin roof
of the buildings were painted, also inside of dining room.
An incinerator was purchased to more effectively destroy the sputum.
New bedding and dishes were purchased. New fly screen and a new
chimney put on the night nurse's house.
MAINTENANCE
The appropriation for maintenance for the past year was $16,000.
With strictest. economy this was riot sufficient for the operation of the
hospital during that period.
The total expenditures for the year were $20,654.39. After deducting
county nurse's pay and permanent improvements totaling $2,484.11, this
leaves $18,170.28 as the actual cost of maintaining the hospital and with
the total days treatment of 8004 makes our per capita cost $2.27, Onon-
daga County was $2.66 and Monroe County $2.30. This increase in cost
does not represent any increase in the amount of supplies used, but is
simply due to the increase in cost of materials purchased. The ex-
penditures were as follows:

It might be �f interest for future reference to include in this report,
some of the prices we are now paying for foodstuffs at wholesale:
Eggs, 75c a doz.; Milk, 9c a qt.; Butter, 74c a lb.; Beef by the quarter,
27c; Coffee, 41e; Apples, $1.75 a bu.; Bread, 15c a loaf; sugar, 11e a lb.
APPROPRIATION REQUESTED
An appropriation for Maintenance of $19,000 will be needed for the
coming year. This small increase over the last year's cost will be needed,
owing to the still higher prices demanded for food, material, wages, and
emergency repairs.
In addition, we request $1,200.00 to enclose the west women's porch,
and add two rooms at the back for very ill patients, and an examining
MOM.
OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 201 .
THE FOLLOWING IS NEEDED
$60.00 for bedside tables.
$36.00 for periodicals.
$1,000.00 for road repair.
$200.00 to enlarge pump -house so as to install electric pump.
$50.00 for steel filing case for case records.
$35.00 for a safe.
This makes a total of $21,571.00 requested.
It is fitting that we should add to this report mention of the death
of Mr. Utter, one of our Board of Managers; Mr. Utter was always
interested in the hospital and in keeping its reputation above reproach;
he attended -Board meetings regularly, and gave without recompense a
great deal of his time to the interest and betterment of the institution.
We have suffered a great loss in his death, and hope that due care will
be exercised in the appointment of his successor.
During the year •the hospital has been visited four times by repre-
sentatives of the State Board of Charities.
Your Honorable Board of Supervisors met at the hospital in Novem-
ber, 1918, and inspected the institution, to better see its needs. In
October, '1919, the Tompkins County Medical Association met at the
hospital.
There -have also been officers from the Ithaca Chapter, Red Cross:
Mrs. E. L. Williams, Eugenia Van Cleef, Anna Bates and Mrs. Sanderson
visited and brought gifts to the patients.
We wish to thank Dr. Esther Parker, Dr. Coville, Dr. Warren and
Dr. Bull for their interest in visiting the hospital and helping our Super-
intendent.
And to you, Gentlemen, we owe a debt of gratitude for your support
and confidence.
Respectfully,
DR. H. GENUNG, President,
