Your 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
valuation 1n all the tax districts in the county, that in the opin-
ion 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 aggregate equal-
ized valuations as indicated in the tabular statement above
And your committee would also report that they have de-
termined upon proper inquiry and investigation the ratio or
percentage which the assessed value of the real property in
each such tax district bears to its full value and would recom-
mend that, based upon such determination of your committee
that the board establish such ratios or percentages which are
determined and in the opinion of your committee are as fol-

Of these 18 patients discharged, 4 were arrested cases,
8 improved, 3 advanced, moderate advance 1, unimproved 3.
One was transferred to Ray -Brook, one to U S Veteran Hos-
pital Two of the cases discharged unimproved were at the hos-
pital less than 6 months, 3 of the cases have been at the hospi-
tal previosuly.
The sun treatment was given to all children and those adults
who were suitable, with splendid results, and satisfactory gain
in the physical condition of patients who came to us early
has taken place in every case.
We have received many donations during the year from in-
dividuals and organizations.
A new Victor Radio has been put into the Men's Ward, so
now there is one instrument in each Ward, and is thoroughly
enjoyed by the patients
The hospital has had a coat of paint outside, and some paint-
ing done inside The back porch was enclosed with glass, to
make it comfortable for the extra children.

OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 259
The teacher's work has been progressive among the 11 chil-
dren for the year, ranging from kindergarten to 7th grade
The problem of making some better provision for the chil-
dren, still seems to be imperative We took this matter up last
year with the Department of Health, and they did not seem
ready to give us any definite plans So we have been obliged,
and still are oblidged, to get on the best way we can with the
ichildren -
The $1,000 00 which you granted us last year for X -Ray
work to be done outside of hospital, has been used in the fol-
lowing manner, and agreement was made with Dr Leo Larkin
,to X -Ray approximately 400 children in the County, 76 of this
number have been X -Rayed at $5 00 per child, leaving a bal-
ance of $772 00 This small percentage which has been
X -Rayed is due to the illness of Dr Keith Sears.
Our total day's treatment was 9,360 and our total expendi-
ture $19,457 93, making a per capita cost of $2 08
For the coming year, we request an appropriation of
$18,000 00 for maintenance and X -Ray work.
We extend our thanks to the members of the Board of Su-
pervisors for the interest and assistance in this work of care
and prevention of tuberculosis in Tompkins County.

In compliance with Sect. II of the Public Welfare Law of
the State of New York, I respectfully report that I estimate
the expense for the town and county patients to be supported
at the county home and in the county for the ensuing year to
be:
For county $ 8,000 00
For outside relief and county home 8,000 00
For hospitalization 7,500 00
For children 6,000 00
For physicians and medicine 1,000 00
For chaplain 150 00
For nurse—men's ward 600 00
For investigation and transportation 700 00
For Commissioner's expenses 300 00
For stenographer's salary 1,200 00
For office expenses 550 00
$34,000 00
I would call your attention to an appropriation which should
be included in your budget for an assistant in our office The
arrangement for her salary is now made with another or-
ganization
- In addition to the above estimate I would ask for $1,200 00
for a County truck to be used at the County Home
OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 269
I would call your attention to the following improvements
and repairs which have been made on our County Farm Both
the Home and barns have been thoroughly repaired. The Home
has been thoroughly painted outside and in The farm build-
ings also have been painted. New linoleum has been laid in
the hall, office and two dining rooms New window screens
have been placed in all of the windows Three hospital beds,
one of them a fracture bed, have been provided for the wo-
men's hospital ward. A new automatic sprinkling system for
fire protection has been installed which will greatly reduce the
insurance rates and which equips our plant with one of the
most modern, up to date fire protection systems.
At this time I wish to again call your attention to our pres-
ent hospital facilities in our County Home. Under the Old Age
Security Law we cannot assist any person with this relief who
is in need of custodian care. A great portion of the people who
are denied this assistance is for, the reason they should have
some kind of hospital care. You all know what our capacity
is at the Home at the present time for giving this kind of care.
We should have at once some kind of an infirmary to meet this
deplorable situation, -for if we' cannot grant the Old Age Se-
curity allowance, they must be cared for adequately somewhere
else The Home is full to its capacity now, and if some of the
present patients of the hospital ward could be moved to this
infirmary, it would give us this extra room and help to re-
lieve this situation. I am asking you to take some definite ac-
tion as soon as possible.
The single factor from which we receive the greatest as-
sistance for our County Farm, both in food for the patients
and financial help, is its herd of 12 cows You will note in my
report for this year that from these 12 cows a revenue of
$2,644 15 has been derived at an average of a little more than
$220 per cow
$ 488.06 butter sold
730 00 milk used in Home
240.00 cream used in Home
471.79 butter used in Home
408.00 skim milk used in Home
249.30 veal sold
57.00 buttermilk
$2,644 15
As every good farmer knows there is no better way to im-
270 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
prove and keep up the fertility of a farm than by the judicious
keeping of cows At the present time the capacity of our silo
is not sufficient for our present herd and I would ask that an
additional silo be built, not only large enough for this herd
but of such size to allow us to increase this herd materially.
These same conditions prevail as to pasture land Without
any extra expense for machinery and labor, we could profit-
ably care for more land which would materially increase the
farm revenue
