These two additions have been very satisfactory and have greatly helped to reduce the expense of maintaining the Home. A metal brooder house and heater for raising young chickens. A new set of heavy farm harness. I would recommend and ask that the following improve- ments and repairs be made on the county farm : That a new hen house be built. That the old ice house be made into a garage by cutting it down and placing it on a cement foundation. That the buildings on the farm in need of paint be painted. That as the gables of the brick building are leaking and the water is running on the inside, that they be properly repaired. That the front porch columns and railing be repaired. WM. D.

BUSH, Notary Public 250 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Annual Report of the Tompkins County Tuberculosis Hospital To the Board of Supervisors, Honorable Sirs: In accordance with the laws of New York State, we present our annual report and financial statement. On October 31st, 1926, our census was 12 men and 13 wom- en. We admitted 13 men, 19 women, 7 children, and dis- charged 7 men, 18 women, and 15 children. Of those dis- charged, 6 were arrested cases, 29 improved, 3 not improved and 4 died. Remaining October 31st, 1927-10 men, 8 wom- en and 2 children. Two patients were transferred to the Ray Brook State. Hospital. The patients received during the year have been of an earlier type of disease and therefore much more satisfactory to us. to the nurses, and to the patients themselves as nearly all have improved under treatment. During the summer, we had 15 under nourished children. These all gained in weight, and it would have been well to keep them had we a suitable building. The sun treatment was given to all children and those adults suitable, with splendid results. The work done by the two county nurses has been commend- able closer contact being made with the people of the rural communities approximating that done in the city of Ithaca. There are now in the county 113 recognized cases of tuber- culosis. These are visited at intervals by the nurses and a close watch kept of this condition and hygiene, also of members of immediate families. Each year we find more people of the county interested in the tuberculosis work. During the past year, we have had many visitors as well as donations from societies, organiza- tions, and individuals. This evidence of interest is always pleasing to us. OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 251 Clinics have been held about the county and one such clinic in each locality has been given by the State Department of Health with free x-ray examination of those examined. The county nurses in co-operation with the State Depart- ment of Health gave an exhibit at the county fair and at the Trumansburg Fair. Several patients were in attendance at these exhibits. Our Board of Managers have met each month to audit bills, act on any suggestions of the Superintendent, and visit the patients. At the close of the year, we feel that very definite beneficial results have been attained in 'our tuberculosis work and we ex- tend to you the thanks of the many patients and of the com- munity for supporting this public health work. Most respectfully yours, HOMER GENUNG, President MRS. EUGENE BAKER, EMMA W. KNETTLES, C. B.
