All members present, except Mr. Dassance, Mr. Patterson presented the following majority report of the Committee an Highways, relative to the apportionment of moneys to the several towns of the county for highway con- struction in 1922, under the County, and Town System of Roads : 20 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County: Your Committee on Highways,. to which was referred the question of the proper apportionment of the moneys to the several towns of the county, as county aid under the County and Town System of Roads, would respectfully report that it has examined into the matter with as much care as possible in the time allotted and finds, in the opinion of your committee, as follows: That when said system was adopted it was the intent to con- struct one hundred (100) miles of highway in the county un der this system and that amount of mileage was apportioned among the several towns of the county in what was supposed to be a fair and equitable manner, and it was the further in- tent that each town would be able to complete the mileage al- lotted to it with the same degree of rapidity, so that all towns would have the mileage allotted to them constructed and the entire mileage of the county completed at the same time. Your committee finds, however, that this has been impossi- ble, owing to the fact that the richer towns have been able to construct its mileage more rapidly than those less fortunate in their ability to pay, not only because of less valuation, but be- cause of less outside contributions, and it is the belief of your committee that some method should be devised to enable the less fortunate towns to construct their mileage more rapidly and each of such towns to receive a fairer proportion of county aid, all things being taken into consideration, as to enable it to keep pace with the more fortunate towns in its construction of highways, to the end that all towns may complete their allot- ment of mileage as near the same time as possible, and your committee, with that end in view, and in what it deems in fair- ness to all the towns of the county, would recommend the adoption of the following resolution : Resolved—That the towns of the county be divided into three groups, known as A, B and C,; and be it further Resolved That the towns comprising Group A shall re- ceive 75% ofthe cost of construction of the entire mileage al- lotted to them for 1922, up to $9,000.00 per mile. That the towns comprising Group 13 shall receive 70% of the cost of construction for the entire mileage allotted to them for 1922, up to $9,000.00 per mile. That the towns comprising Group C shall receive 65% of the cost of construction for the entire mileage allotted to them for 1922, up to $9,000.00 per mile. That all cost of construction in excess of $9,000.00 per mile shall be borne by the town; and be it further OF TOMPKINS COUNTY., NEW YC)RK 21 Resolved—That the towns comprising Group A shall be the towns of Caroline, Danby, Enfield and Newfield.

On motion of Mr. Hill, the election of officials necessary to be elected by this Board, was made a special order of business for, Tuesday, December 19, at 2 P. M. Mr. Miller, Chairman of the Committee on County Clerk and Election Expenses, rendered the following report of that com- mittee, relative to the report of. the County Clerk, on the re- ceipts and disbursements of his office : Your Committee on County Clerk and Election Expenses re- ports that it has examined the report of the County Clerk, as. to the receipts and expenditures of his office, and believes the. figures set forth therein are correct. In the committee's examination of the report, it finds that. the County Clerk has overpaid the assistants in his office the sum of $63.1..0, and your committee would recommend that the County Treasurer be directed to deduct that amount from pay- ments to be made to the assistants in the County. Clerk's office for the ensuing year. It has been called to the attention of the committee that some of the records of the County Clerk's office, formerly copied on the typewriter, are again being copied in long hand, especially the indices, with which method dissatisfaction is expressed by those using the same. Inasmuch as this county has gone to a great expense in in- stalling the loose-leaf system for the record books of the office- and fficeand had purchased book typewriters for making such copies, we would request the County Clerk to again copy the records. of his office, including the indices, on the typewriter, and to re- write on the typewriter those records he has had copied in long hand. We also request the County Clerk to index the lands sold at. tax sale, in the name of the county, the purchaser at the tax sale and also in the name of the owner at the time of such sale. In regard to the suggestion of the County Clerk at the time of his report, of going to outlying towns for the purpose of is- suing motor vehicle licenses, we believe such a step would be unwise and not conducive to efficiency.

For services of overseers of poor and superinten- dent's expenses :350.00 For transportation - 400.00 For salaries of physician and chaplain 500.00 $10,250.00 During the year the county home has been newly painted,* receiving'two coats of paint. About one hundred rods of woven wire fence has been erected. The chairs and furniture of the institution have been thoroughly repaired by an expert furniture man. All general repairs to building and grounds as was neces- sary to keep them in a good and neat condition. The county superintendents beginning, with the year 1918, have annually urged the supervisors to provide a hospital at our county home, for the proper care of our aged, infirm and helpless inmates under the care of competent nurses. This necessity is now fully realized by the taxpayers and all humane people of our county. The State Board of Charities, in their report of their an- nual inspection of our county home, have called your attention to the great need for a hospital at our county home, and in a recent communication from them they say, "It is a criminal negligence in not providing good hospital equipment and suit- able nurses for the care of your sick and infirm at your county OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 241 home." Quoting from a recent communication from State Superintendent Dr. Robert W. Hill, "Tompkins County alms- house has for years needed better hospital facilities, and judg- ing from your reports we supposed it to be under construction. This hospital must be'provided at once." Dr. Hill must have gathered this from reading the superintendent's report of 1921, for in our report to the supervisors we said, "A hospital com- mittee has been appointed by the Board of Supervisors and this committee has visited several county hospitals of the state, with an architect, and are now having plans prepared for their acceptance and the approval of the State Board of Charities." Acting upon this information they obtained your hospital committee, after spending a considerable amount of time and' money, did instruct an architect to draw a complete set of designs and specifications suitable for what they considered an adequate hospital that would be acceptable to the State Board of Charities. Said designs and specifications were paid for and are now on file with this board and are waiting further action of this honorable body. There are at this time, a number of the towns in the county heavily burdened because of the lack of a hospital at the home. • I wish to report to the interested people of the county, and to the State Board of Charities, that I am doing my best to assist in providing a hospital in connection with our county home. I feel that I would be doing an injustice to the employees at our county home if I did not commend them for the manner in which they are performing their several duties. The nature of their work is difficult, even under the best of conditions. WM. D. BALDWIN, Superintendent of Poor of Tompkins County County of Tompkins, ss. State of New York, Wm. D. Baldwin, being duly sworn, says that he is Su- perintendent of Poor of the County of Tompkins, that the fore- going statement is in all respects a true and full statement of receipts and expenditures audited by him during the year 1921- 1922, as such superintendent.

Bush, Notary Public 242 PROCEEDINGS OF 'rHE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Report of Board of Managers of ,the Tuberculosis Hospital To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County : Honorable Sirs : It is with pleasure that we come before you to present our annual report as we feel that owing to your interest the hos- pital is in better condition than ever before. The addition of two rooms to the women's side and the en- closing of the porches have made the patients more comfortable and so more contented. • Our' electric pump has furnished an adequate supply of water and the new ice house will improve the appearance of the grounds and be an added convenience. An alpine Tamp has been purchased to continue the sun cure during the winter. During the year forty-one patients were admitted and thirty-nine discharged. Five of these were believed to be cured, four were transferred to other hospitals. Seven patients died, one of pneumonia and one of brights disease. We appreciate the fact that the physicians of the county are sending more early type of cases, as cases going home re- covered give the hospital a better standing. Our total cost for maintenance for the year was $18,202.18. This gives us a cost of $2.45 per day for each patient. Two unexpected necessary expenses were'the purchase of a new pressure tank and the relaying of 800 feet of our sewage filter, these cost $547.00. Our permanent improvements cost $1,868.73 and the county nurse salary and expenses $2,129.07. Our receipts' from paying patients $1,768.40, this is less than last year owing to the fact that at times we have been unable to accept pa- tients from outside the county. Our garden produced 100 bushels of potatoes besides a variety of garden vegetables for summer use. The head nurse canned 200 quarts of fruit and vegetables. The cost for actual maintenance has been reduced some- what from last year. Our per capita cost being $2.50 per day.

This most necessary ad- junct to the well-being of our hospital has been neglected 'for a long time and we urge your support. We wish to thank you for your interest and cooperation.
