Several petitions, relative to snow removal, were read by the
Clerk and ordered filed.
The Clerk read the following report of the special commit-
tee, appointed to investigate the question of snow removal and
snow prevention :
To the Board of Supervisors,
Tompkins County, New York.
Your special committee, appointed to investigate the ques-
tion of snow removal, or snow control, on the highways of this
county, and to report its findings to this Board, hereby renders
the following report:
After a careful investigation, not only in this county, but
also having ascertained the experience of other counties on the
question of snow removal, your committee wishes to report that
it believes the removal of snow by the county, as outlined be-
fore this Board at its meeting on August 9, 1926, is impracti-
cable and, necessarily involving the outlay of a very large sum
of money, is too uncertain in results to warrant this Board in
placing such an additional burden of taxation upon the county.
Your committee recognizes, however, the desirability of keep-
ing all the highways of the county as free from snow as pos-
sible and your committee believes that the erection of snow
fences at advantageous points along the highways of the towns
of the county is the most practicable and economical method of
keeping the highways open for traffic during the winter
months.
For these reasons your committee recommends that, as an
initial step in carrying out a scheme for keeping our highways
open for traffic, so far as practicable, that there be purchased
ten miles of snow fencing, with suitable posts, and that the
same be allotted to the towns of the county in the same ratio
as the total number of miles of highways in the towns bears to
the total number of miles of fencing purchased, as follows :
OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 39
Caroline • 1.14 miles
Danby 1.14 "
Dryden 1.76 "
Enfield 0.65 "
Groton- 0.98
Ithaca 0.80 "
Lansing 1.29 "
Newfield 1.33 "
UIysses 0.91 "
That the same shall be erected and cared for in a proper
manner by the town, at its own expense, at such advantageous
places as may be determined upon by the supervisor and town
superintendent of highways of each town,
That in case any town fails to accept the fencing and posts
so allotted to it, the same shall be allotted to the other towns of
the county in the same ratio and under the same conditions as
the original allotment is made.

Y oar Committee on Equalization reports that they have ex-
amined 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 valuations do
not bear such just relations to the valuations in all the tax
districts of the county, and your committee would recommend
that the valuations of the several tax districts, in order that
they may bear such just relations, be increased or diminished
according to the foregoing statements so as to make the aggre-
gate equalized valuations as indicated in the tabular statement
above.
And your committee would also report that they- have deter-
mined upon proper inquiry and investigation the ratio or per-
centage which the assessed value of the real property in each
such tax district bears to its full value and would recommend
that, based upon such determination of your committee that the
board establish such ratios or percentages which are deter-
mined and in the opinion of your committee are as follows:

That your committee have, in accord with such percentage
compiled, and that the foregoing tables show the aggregate val-
uations of each tax district, as determined from the actual
values of property fixed according to the above ratios or per-
centages and the average rate of assessment of real property in
the county which your committee have determined according to
the rules laid down by Statute, to be .753943736+, and that the
table shows by such valuations the several and aggregate valu-
ations upon which the taxes for the county, including the state
taxes, should be apportioned between the several tax districts
of the county.

On motion of. ll•Ir. Smiley. the Board went into executive
session. ' •
On motion, the Board arose from executive session and pro-
ceeded in the transaction of regular business.
Mr. Smiley, Chairman of the Committee on County Officers

OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 95
Keeper at County Home 1,200.00
Janitor at Court House 1,000.00
Janitor at County Clerk's Building 480.00
Total for County Officers and Employees $39,080.00
The foregoing amounts are the same as for the current year,
except the salaries of the County Judge and the Under Sheriff.
Of the former, this Board had nothing to say, inasmuch as his
salary was•fixed by legislative enactment.
The sheriff -elect appeared before your committee and re-
quested that the salary of the under -sheriff be increased, stat-
ing that it was his desire to have an under -sheriff present or on
call at all times and that it was impossible to obtain such a per-
son on the salary now paid. The sheriff -elect also stated that
if he was allowed a sufficient amount as salary for the under -
sheriff, he would do his own auto hiring at not to exceed 15c per
mile, in place of the 18e per mile heretofore paid and guaran-
teed that such auto hire would not exceed $2,000.00 in any
one year.
Believing that such an arrangement would be of advantage
to the county, both from the point of more efficiency in the
sheriff's office, but more economical to the taxpayers and, ow-
ing also to the fact, that the salary now paid to the under -sheriff
is the same as paid since 1908, although all the salaries of all
other county officers have been increased since that time, your
committee has recommended that the salary of the under -sheriff
be increased to $1,500.00, under the foregoing conditions and
agreement on the part of the sheriff -elect.
Your committee recommends that the salaries of the county
officers and employees be fixed by this Board at the amounts
stated, and your committee directs that the amount paid to the
Motor Vehicle Clerk in the County Clerk's office be in full for
any notarial fees or other services in connection with the duties
of his office, that the County Sealer of Weights and Measures
be allowed a sum, not to exceed $400.00. for expenses while per-
forming the duties of his office, that the County Superintendent
of Highways be allowed a sum. not to exceed $1,000.00, for ex-
penses while performing the duties of his office, that the Cor-
oner be allowed a sum, not to exceed $100.00. for expenses,
while performing the .duties of his office, and that the Sheriff,
under the conditions and agreements.made by him as Sheriff -
elect with your committee, as herein stated, be allowed 15c per
mile, while traveling by auto in the performance of his duties,
but not to.exceed $2,000.00 per year, unless otherwise directed

Ayes -13. Noes -0. Carried.
Mr. Shaver, Chairman of the Committee on Charities, ren-
dered the following report of that committee, relative to the
report of the Board of Managers of the Tuberculosis Hospital:
Your Committee on Charities, having examined the annual
report of the Board of Managers of the Tuberculosis Hospital,
reports that the figures, submitted to this Board appear to be
correct.
In view of the fact that the balance on hand at the time of
the annual report of 1925, was the sum of $1,003.74, and the
balance as appearing on hand in the annual report of 1926 is
the sum of $6,190.08, your committee fails to see the necessity
of an appropriation for maintenance of the hospital as large
for the year '1927, as was appropriated for the current year,
and your committee recommends therefore, the appropriation
of $18,000.00 for the maintenance of said hospital for the year
1927, and the additional sum of $1,000.00 for the employment
.of a vocational nurse at that institution.
Your committee believes the recommendation of the Board
of Managers to divide the county into two districts, with the
assignment of a nurse to each district and both doing public
health and tuberculosis work, to be a wise one.
Your committee therefore recommends the adoption of the
following resolution—
Resolved—That, providing the state accepts the educational
qualifications of the pubilc health nurse and the tuberculosis
nurse, the county be divided, into two districts, and that the
county tuberculosis nurse and the public health nurse be each
assigned to one of said districts and each doing both tubercu-
losis and public health work, and be it further
Resobved—That there be levied and collected from the tax-
able property of Tompkins County, the sum of $18,000.00 for
the maintenance of the Tompkins County Tuberculosis Hos-
pital, and the sum of $1,000.00 for the employment of an edu-
cational and vocational nurse at that institution, for the
year 1927.

Your Committee on County Clerk and Election Expenses, to
which was referred the reports of the Surrogate's Clerk and
the County Clerk, wishes to report to this Board that it has ex-
amined both of said reports and believe them to be correct.
Your committee finds that the balance of $234.76, reported
by the Surrogate's Clerk, after deducting the expenses of that
office for the year, has been received and ready to be paid to
the County Treasurer.
Your committee examined the figures submitted by the Coun-
ty Clerk, of moneys received by his office and the disposition
made thereof, and has compared such figures with the books of
the County Treasurer. Your committee finds that the figures
submitted agree with the books of the County Treasurer and
this committee believes that the County Clerk has accounted

Seconded by Mr. Buck. Carried.
Mr. Snyder offered the following resolution and moved its
adoption :
Resolved—That after the tax rates are ascertained for the
various towns and the City of Ithaca, the Clerk be directed to
print such rates in the Proceedings of the Board, following the
budgets of the various towns and city.
Seconded by Mr. Smiley'. Carried.
The Clerk read the following report of the Committee on
Correction and Reformation, relative to the report of the
Sheriff on the cost of feeding prisoners at the county jail:
Your Committee on Correction and Reformation, to which
was referred the report of the Sheriff, relative to the cost of
feeding prisoners ab. the county jail, wishes to make • the fol-
lowing, report :
Your committee finds, from the figures submitted by the
Sheriff to this Board, in his report filed December 8, 1926, that
the cost of feeding the prisoners at the county jail for the year
• ending December 3,.1926, was $0.427 per day, and not the $0.37
per day, as the report would seem to indicate and has been
_ prominently given to the public.
This amount does not include the cost of preparation and
serving of food nor the extra cost of food for trusties or pris-
oners engaged in road work.
In his annual report to the. State Commission of Prisons for
the year 1926, the Sheriff states that the cost per week to the
county, for the board of a single prisoner, was $3.285, By the
simple process of division,this would make the cost of feeding
a prisoner'for.one day the sum -of $0:469. : -
Why the Sheriff •should report to the State Commission of
Prisons one set of figures and to this Board an entirely differ-
entset, is unknown to your committee, unless it be to create a
local impression that the feeding of prisoners has been con-
ducted in a more economical mariner than has been done.
Relative to the recommendation of the Sheriff that the county
should receive more pay for the board of Federal prisoners.
Or TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK I57
your committee finds that the reception, detention and dis-
charge of Federal prisoners and the receipt' of all moneys for
their board, has been in the hands of the Sheriff and a matter
with which this committee or this Board has had nothing to-do.
It would seem to this committee, that the Sheriff should have
protected the interests of the taxpayers'by demanding of the
Federal government additional compensation for the keeping
of Federal prisoners. Inasmuch as this has not been done, your
committee would recommend that the matter be referred to the
incoming Sheriff, to secure adequate and just compensation
• from the Federal government for the care of its prisoners.

OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 165
WHEREAS—Property in the Town of Danby, consisting of 64
acres in School Dist. No. 3, assessed to P. Berry and L. Finch,
was sold at tax sale to Tompkins County in October, 1923, for
unpaid taxes and that thereafter and on October 10, 1924, the
same was conveyed to said county by deed of the County Treas-
urer and Tompkins County thus became the owner thereof and
the same was exempt from taxation while so owned by said
Tompkins County, and -
WHEREAS—Through error, said property was assessed to
L. Finch and a school tax was levied against the same for the
year 1925, and the same has been returned to this Board by the
County Treasurer among the returned school taxes -for that
year as unpaid, although the county was still the owner of said
property at the time said tax was levied, and
WHEREAS—Said property was thereafter and on April 24,
1926, sold and conveyed by the county to Otis M. Hutt and wife,
therefore be it
Resolved—That the school tax against said property for the
year 1925, returned by the County Treasurer as unpaid, be
stricken from the tax roll and the same be cancelled as a lien
against said property, and be it further
Resolved—That the County Treasurer be instructed to notify
all local assessors of the purchase by and conveyance to the
county of any property within their tax districts.
Seconded by Mr. Shaver. Carried.
The Clerk read the following report of the Committee on
Equalization, Etc.:.
Your Committee on Equalization, Etc., reports that it .has
examined the assessment rolls of the several towns of the
county and the City of Ithaca and also the amount of tax to be
levied -in each respectively and has compared the saine with the
budgets of the several towns and city and the warrants of the
collectors and found the budgets and warrants of the collectors
correct, and that each of the collector's warrants are properly
made and ready for the Chairman and Clerk of this Board to
sign.
Your committee cannot refrain from calling the attention of
the assessors of the City of Ithaca to the form of oath attached
to the city assessment roll, as not complying with Section 38, of
the Tax Law.
While your committee would not presume to attempt to ad-
vise the city assessors as to city assessments, it cannot help but
call their attention to the fact that the law requires the assess-
166 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
ment of personal property as well as real estate, and•no item of
the assessment of any personal property appears on the city
assessment roll. •
With hundreds of thousands of dollars of personal property
within the city, and none of it taxed, it works an unjust burden
upon the small real estate owner.
It seems to your committee, •that if the personal property
within the city, properly taxable, be placed upon the assess-
ment roll, it would not only relieve, in a large measure, the
burdens of the small real estate holder, but would enable the
city to obtain more funds from the several state sources, as
well as obtaining a better state and county rating in the equal-
ization and apportionment of taxes.

In compliance with Sect. II of the Poor Law of the State of

cessities used in the county home and in the county are con-
stantly increasing, I estimate the expense for the town and
county poor to be supported at the county home` and in the
county for the ensiling year to be :
For county $6,000.00
For outside relief and almshouse maintenance 6,500.00
For superintendent's expenses 400.00
For transportation 400.00
For salaries of physician and chaplain 630.00
$13,930.00
The following improvements and repairs on buildings and
equipment have been made during the past year.
New steel ceiling has been put on and painted in the woman's
sitting room and dining room.
A dumb waiter has been installed in the woman's building
to give service between the dining room on the first floor and
the rooms on the second floor.
218 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
The kitchen in the administration building has been re-
painted.
A furnace blower has been installed in the main heating plant
for the purpose of reducing costs by the use of a cheaper grade
of coal.
The. hog house has been newly roofed ; all metal roofs have
. been repainted.
A new grain drill has been purchased.
The present ice house is badly dilapidated. To put it in con-
dition for use will mean the expenditure of probably from five
to six hundred dollars. If the ice house were repaired, there
is still uncertainty of supply of ice, since we have no convenient
or. assured source of supply. Harvesting, drawing and hand-
ling are all. very expensive. To care for this whole problem of
ice supply I would recommend, and I do .ask, that there be in-
stalled some modern refrigerating plant for the sake of both
economy and convenience.

Report of the Board 'of Managers of
the Tuberculosis Hospital
To .the Honorable Board of Supervisors:
In accordance with' the law of our State, we submit our an-
nual report to you.
During the past year the hospital has served the community
in caring for 66 patients and with the facilities provided has
accomplished a great deal.
Five patients were returned to their homes apparently well;
fifteen were improved and eleven unimproved. There were
eight deaths.
A number of out of county patients we have been unable to
take because of lack of room and during the summer we used
tents for seven children. These children had to be sent home
in October because of cold weather.
Other counties near us have added new buildings and so are
getting patients from counties that formerly sent their pa-
tients to us.
The sun treatment was used' during the summer with excel-
lent results and we wish now to put the new window glass in
the porches so the patients may take sun baths during the.win-
ter. This new glass allows all the sun's rays to pass, whereas
ordinary glass stops all the beneficial rays.
We recommend that provision be made to care for children.
For this a separate building would be needed, equipped with a
school room and dining room.
We further recommend, providing the state accepts the edu-
cational qualification of our nurses, that the county be divided
in two districts, the county tuberculosis nurse and the Public
Health Nurse, each having a district and each doing both T. B.
and Public Health work in their respective areas, thus avoiding
duplication of work and also making more efficient work by
closer and broader acquaintance.
We request an appropriation of $22,000 for the expenses of
220 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
the coming year and $1.000 for the teacher. This amount with
our balance we hope would carry us until appropriations are
made again.
We are particularly gratified at the frequent visits by your
committee on hospitals. It is only by this means that you learn
of our needs, see the work being done and realize what the
money is being used for. We request that these visits be sanc-
tioned by your board as a part of the duty of the committee on
hospitals.
We thank you for your interest and support.
Respectfully submitted,
