As this boiler has been in use from eight to ten years, its life must be nearly gone. if a .uetw boiler is installed, provision should be made for two, units for heat. .1S PROCEEDI\GS OF THE BOARD OP STJPERVISORS The two electric motors installed during the year have proved their value both as a relief from fire hazard and for economy in power, Eighty rods of new fencing have been built. A Christmas- Fund : Small stuns of money, that they have received perhaps" as gifts or that they have earned, frequently remain after the death of inmates of the Home. Years ago no record of this money was made. ender the present administration, however, these sums, -varying from a few cents to one or two dollars, have been credited to a fund which has been called the Christmas Fund, and to it have been added certain other small sums, such as the receipts from the sale of old papers sent to inmates by their friends in the county, and money from the sale of junk. This fund ltas been aceurnulating for several years, so that during the past summer there was available from $60 to $70. With this money silver knives and forks have been provided for the in- mates of the Home and there was also enough to buy them a clock. The purchase of these things has helped to make the living of the inmates of the Home more homelike and cheerful. To give relief to the poor is one of the duties of the Superin- tendent of the Poor. To provide free food and lodging to all who may apply is easy; but there is no more difficult task than to give relief. The word relief is used by many people in a personal sense to mean supplying the immediate needs of an individual from public funds. This is a. narrow but obvious interpretation. The real and constructive meaning of the word demands that society and the taxpayers shall be relieved, as well as the individual. To feed and house, at the expense of the tax- payers, a person who consumes his time and money in debauchery is not rendering relief to him or to the public. To care for a feeble minded woman during confinement and then turn her out in the world again to become -the prey of the unscrupulous is not giving relief to her or her offspring, or the world at large. It a man with only one leg comes under our charge, is it not better to spend fifty or sixty dollars for an artificial leg so that he may support himself, rather than to give him a few dollars a week for his maintenance as a cripple. This represents one important phase of the work of a Superintendent of the Poor; it. is Constructive and helpful, though its value cannot he estimated in dollars'and cents. There is another important phase of the Work, important especially. in Tompkins County. That is our urgent need of a County Hospital wherein can be provided the proper care for OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 219 residents of the County Home, who need hospital attention. As Superintendent of the Poor .1 cannot give proper relief to those unfortunate persons in our County Home with our present hos- pital facilities. Most of yon are aware that during my seventeen years in this office 1. have continually urged that adequate pro- vision be made for a building to afford hospital care. The be- ginning of the project has been made already, as the plans and specifications hanging on the walls of your room go to show. Money enough to secure suitable plans has been spent already, but, nothing has been accomplished. A large majority of the persons in the .Hoene at the present time are old and need hos- pital care. The present facilities are entirely inadequate to pro- vide the care they need. .1. therefore respectfully urge, as the State also demands, that you take definite action for a County Ilospital on the County Farm without further delay. WM. D. BALDWiN, Superintendent of Poor, Tompkins County. State of New York, County of Tompkins, ss' Wm. D. Baldwin, being duly sworn, says that he is Superin- tendent of the 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 1923- 1924 as such superintendent. ll'i1I.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD O1'' SUPERI"ISORS Report of the Board of Managers of the Tuberculosis Hospital '1'o the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County: Honorable Sirs: Again we come before you in compliance Ivith the law to -Hake our annual report of the Tuberculosis hospital for the past year. The accomplishments have been satisfactory from several view- points. '.There htit e been no re -admissions to the hospital of those patients discharged as recovered last year, and from the reports from these patients they are all at work. Our admissions for the year have been patients in Nrhom the disease was discovered earlier and therefore they have a better chance to recover. The chilies held about the county have been productive of good both in finding cases and in teaching contact cases how to care for themselves so as to prevent the disease. In this con- nection we would like to mention the spread of information re- garding the clanger of giving children milk from cows not free from tuberculosis. One of the most satisfactory things from the view -point of our board is the increasing interests shown by the residents of the county. Many local organizations and individuals hare volun- tarily signified their desire to be of assistance to the hospital and many have donated canned fruit; jellies and magazines and one room was also redecorated and furnished. This is as it should be, not interest because of expense to the county but be- cause of the benefit the county derives from such an institution. Some patients are returned to their work as useful productive citizens ancl all the while they arc at the hospital they lessen the danger of infection not only to their own families but to others as well. The superintendent and nurses are encouraged by this increased interest from the outside and hope it will con- tinue. The addition of a teacher to our staff has been of material assistance to the patients as they are all more contented having something to do to occupy their time. An exhibit of the work done by the patients was made at the Trumansburg and T.onip- OF TW,IPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 22.1 kins County .Fairs and attracted considerable interest. Improvements: The north end of the men's porch was enclosed, thus' adding to their comfort on stormy clays. The new furnace installed last fall Bras satisfactory. Movement of Patients : During the year there were admitted 20 men, 16 women, and 2 children; discharged -12 men, 12 women and 2 children; died - 3 men and 3 women. of those discharged five were arrested cases, seven improved, ter, unimproved and two not tuberculosis. Our total days treatment was 6206 and our actual maintenance expense $18,897.48 thus making our per capita cost $3.05. In conclusion we again urge you to provide a better plant "for our work. We have certain patients from our county who are dissatisfied with the hospital accommodations and especially those who have been in other county hospitals where patients have the privacy of a room in which to dress and undress. At our hospital there is the one room for ten women to come from the porehes and get ready for breakfast. and sometimes it is necessary to bring nearly all of the beds to this room when a number of the patients are unable to go to the dining room. We as a Board are unanimous in this request for a new hospital. Requests for the Coming Year; .WNwe shall need a new kitchen range at once, this will cost about $300.00. The corning summer it will be necessary to repaint the hospital. New linoleum is needed for the dining room and men's room. As prices of supplies and wages do not decline, we see no way and every year there are repairs to be to decrease our expenses made which are costly. We therefore request of you an appropriation of the same amount as last year.
