Such being the case, the banks and banking associations so paying said tax would be entitled to a refund of the taxes so errone- ously paid, from the municipalities or tax districts having re- ceived the benefits of such payments, necessitating numerous court actions against the cities, towns, villages and school - districts of the county and entailing on the taxpayers of those municipalities the burden of additional taxes to pay for such refunds and the costs of said court proceedings. . Your committee finds, upon inquiry, that by agreement be- tween most of the interested banks or banking associations of the state and the municipalities or tax districts having received the benefits of. the moneys so erroneously paid, the National Banks have agreed to pay, without penalty or interest, fifty per cent of the taxes imposed on them for the years 1920, 1921 and 1922, and the State Banks have agreed to pay, without penalty 66 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS or interest. fifty per cent of the taxes imposed on them for the years 1920 and 1921, and of all taxes imposed on them for the year 1922, and that the municipalities refund to the paying banks or banking associations, any sum received by it in excess of such amount, without interest thereon, and all banks to pay the full tax of one per cent for the year 1923. This plan has been generally adopted throughout the State of New York and your committee believes it would be a wise policy if the same was adopted in Tompkins County. Your committee finds, upon investigation, that the amount of tax imposed on the several banks of Tompkins County for 'the years 1920, 1921 and 1922, to have been as follows : Name ;of Bank 1920 First National of Ithaca $4,208.25 Tompkins County National3,421.00 First.National of Dryden 676.75 First National of Groton 1,481.00 First Nat'l of Trumansburg 474.73 State Bank of Trumansburg . 437.30 1921 1922 Total $4,136.34 $4,306.23 $12,650.82 3,447.36 3,596.93 10;464.89 641.50 020.49 1,938.74 1,544.57 1,681.16 4,706.73 444.06 426.39 1,345.18 449.83 480.51 1,367.64 Your committee also finds, that none of the banks of Tomp- kins County paid the tax imposed on them for the year 1922, except the State Bank of Trumansburg, which paid its full fax of $480.51, which money is now in the hands of the County 'Treasurer, subject to distribution.

In view of the fact that there was a deficiency in the ac- counts of the institution during the past year, your committee believes that it will be necessary to make a larger appropria- tion for the coming year, in order to carry on the work prop- erly and therefore recommends the appropriation of $19,872.22 for the maintenance of the institution for the coming year. Your • committee believes it would be expedient to have an educational and vocational nurse at said institution for the education of the children being cared for and recommends the appropriation of $1,000.00 for that purpose. Your committee therefore recommends the adoption of the following resolution : Resolved—That there be levied and collected from the tax- able property of Tompkins County the sum of $19,572.22 for maintenance of the Tompkins County Tuberculosis Hospital for the year 1924, and the sum of $1,000.00 for the employ- ment of an educational and vocational nurse at that institution for the year 1924.

The bath room in the hospital of the women's building has been repainted and entirely refitted with new sanitary, modern plumbing. The bath room in the administration building has been re- painted and a new steel ceiling laid. 220 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS The old bedsteads and springs are being replaced by new white sanitary furniture as fast as possible, without discarding and unnecessarily. The old long tables in both the woman's and men's dining room have been removed and replaced by small tables, each convenient for four people, thus giving the rooms a much more pleasant appearance and allowing the attendants to place the people together most congenial while at their meals. The small orchard of old apple trees west of the buildings has been cut and stumps removed' and the ground prepared for a new garden, thus greatly improving the appearance of the grounds. The two large compression tanks used for fire and domestic purposes, when first installed, were placed upon wooden blocks. These blocks decayed, allowing the tanks to settle so that it was impossible to get under them to perform the necessary opera- tions. These tanks have been raised and solid concrete piers built under them. For a number of years we have felt the want of some means for using the cistern or rain water through the water front of the kitchen range. The water of our well is so very full of lime that the lime quickly collected in the front and made necessary a new front as often as every two months, at an expense of about $8.00 for making each change. . In the hope of permanently reducing this repeated expendi- ture, the consent of your supervisors' committee was obtained to make use of a thousand gallon tank belonging to the county. After an examination by a competent boiler maker, who pro- nounced it all right, we have installed this as a compression tank, have attached it to the air pump already, in use, and are now able to use the soft cistern water. - As a result we now have a complete soft water system, which for the place and purpose is as good as new, with a sav- ing to the county of the cost of a $350.00 tank and transporta- tion charges of at least $75.00, making an asset to the County Home of an improvement of not less than $400.00, at an ex- pense of $4827, besides an annual saving in expense for soap and for repair of water fronts. OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 221 In regard to the proposed hospital, I will refer you to the re- port of the state inspector dated September 19, 1923. 4.1 WM. D. BALDWIN, Superintendent of Poor, Tompkins County. State of New York, 1 County of Tompkins, Wm. D. Baldwin, being duly sworn, says he is Superinten- dent of the Poor of the County of Tompkins, that the foregoing statement is in all respects a true and full statement of receipts and expenditures audited by him during the year 1922-1923 as such superintendent. WM. D. BALDWIN. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 22nd day of November. 1923. Charlotte V. Bush, Notary Public. 222 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Report of Board of Managers of the Tuberculosis Hospital To the Honorable Board of Supervisors. Gentlemen : In presenting our annual report for the fiscal year ending October 31st, 1923, we wish first of all to signify, our apprecia- tion for the prompt action of your Board in the two instances, first when the roof blew off and again when the boiler was found to be unsafe. Such prompt action on your part saved further expense and discomfort. Inovercoming such unexpected difficulties it is certainly a pleasure to know we have your co-operation. During the year there were 56 patients under treatment, nine have been discharged as recovered. The change in population is as follows : 31 patients admitted 25 " discharged 9 recovered j 7 improved 9 unimproved. 10 died There is a satisfaction in the fact that nine have gone to their homes recovered, and also in the fact that our reports from those discharged last year as recovered indicate that none have had a relapse. The treatment of all bone cases of tuberculosis by sun rays or quartz lamp has been continued with gratifying results. The lamp purchased of Judge Frank Irvine has proven its worth and we thank you for it. The numerous improvements made during the past two years have added to the welfare of the hospital and- the comfort of the patients. OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 223 The past summer has been unusually dry but we have had sufficient water for all needs. Our ice had kept well, and the windows added to the sleep- ing porches have added to the comfort of the patients. The new road from the depot to the hospital is indeed an acquisition. The patients, nurses, and relatives are all pleased and we express our appreciation to you and the Town of Ulysses for this improvement. During the year, two residents of the county have thought so kindly of our work that they have left by will money to us. Mr. Olin T. Stewart gave $1,000 and Mrs. Ellen S. Kimple of Groton left the use of $1,000. These sums will be used for a memorial in some suitable form..

New linoleum for the dining room and new awning for men's porch will be needed. Also a new dish washer and sterilizer for mak- ing the dishes absolutely clean. Our completed improvements and those recommended will not make a new hospital and we do need one. None of our boundary counties have a hospital, and all teach- ing, local, state and national tends toward segregation of very ill and early hospitalization of the beginning case. These . boundary counties this year paid us over $3,000, enough to pay the interest on an investment of $50,000 and had we a better hospital this income could be increased. We earnestly request your consideration of the investment of $50,000 in this project, the interest to be paid not by taxa- tion but by our neighboring counties. For the coming year, we will need for maintenance as much as we used this year as none of the commodities necessary are lower in price and many are higher and also it is necessary to pay more for competent help. We, the Board of Managers, are giving their time and efforts willingly without compensation, believing that they are helping to sustain a worthy institution and we thank you for your friendly as well as official interest in the Tompkins County Tu- berculosis Hospital.
