Whole
1 He announced that representatives of the Health Depart-
ment, Board of Managers of the Hospital and himself had
been called to Albany regarding legislation being enacted to
transfer the Hermann M Biggs Memorial Hospital (State
Tuberculosis) to Tompkins County if agreeable to the County
The Clerk read the following letter from Herman E Hille-
boe, M D , State Commissoner of Health, under date of
January 4, 1956
"My dear Mr Stevenson
Following our informal discussion today with you and
representatives of the Tompkins County Board of Super-
visors, the Board of Managers of the Tompkins County
Memorial Hospital, and the County Health Department, I am
prepared to recommend to Governor Harriman that he re-
quest legislation to transfer the Hermann M Biggs Memorial
Hospital, including basic hospital equipment, to Tompkins
County, without cost
This will enable Tompkins County to convert this tuber-
culosis hospital and use it as a general hospital and for other
health services to meet local needs
The recommended legislation will include a provision that
the cost of physical alterations necessary to convert the hos-
14 January 9, 1956
pital into a general hospital will be the financial responsibility
of Tompkins County, without state aid funds from the State
Health Department
Favorable consideration will be given to sharing one-third
of the conversion costs out of Hill -Burton funds upon applica-
tion by Tompkins County to the New York State Joint Hos-
pital Survey and Planning Commission
According to state aid regulations of the State Health
Department, the converted hospital, operated as a county
general hospital, will be eligible for 50 per cent reimburse-
ment of its annual deficit, at least until 1960 when the next
federal census will be taken It is hoped that if transfer of
the hospital is accomplished, the existing county hospital
plant will not be used for hospital purposes since the con-
verted Biggs Hospital will adequately meet the hospital
facility needs of the county for many years to come
This offer of transfer is made possible by the decrease
in hospital care needs for tuberculous in New York State
because of the effectiveness of the tuberculosis control pro-
gram The anticipated average number of patients at Her-
mann Biggs for 1956 will drop to 150 We can assure the
tuberculous patients, their families and physicians in your
county, and the other eight counties in the Hermann Biggs
district, that high quality care will be provided in adjacent
state tuberculosis hospitals
An orderly transfer of these patients can be made from
Hermann Biggs to the other hospitals over a period of some
months if the conversion is effected Assurance is also given
that adequate, itinerant tuberculosis case -finding, diagnostic
and follow-up clinic service will be provided in the counties
now served by Hermann Biggs
Not only will a milestone in tuberculosis control be reached,
but also a legitimate need of your local government will be
met by this proposal if it is accepted
Although the State will lose one of its best tuberculosis
hospitals, great benefit can accrue to the general health and
welfare of the people of Tompkins County and the surround-
ing area under a well-planned program of general and re-
January 9, 1956 15
lated hospital care, including the care and rehabilitation of
the chronically ill
If the Board of Supervisors accepts this proposal, we can
work out the legislative and the administrative details im-
mediately after formal action is taken by your Board
This proposal comes at a most opportune time when Tomp-
kins County is about to embark on a costly expansion program
to meet partially the existing over -crowding now present at
the Tompkins County Memorial Hospital
I should appreciate hearing from you at your earliest
convenience on this proposal
Sincerely yours,
Herman E Hilleboe, M D
Commissioner of Health"
Also the Clerk was requested to read a letter from R 0
Daughety, Administrator of the Tompkins County Memorial
Hospital, stating a resolution adopted by the Board of Man-
agers of the Hospital at a special meeting of said Board
-held since January 4, 1956
January 6, 1956
To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County
We wish to submit the following recommendation regard-
ing the offer made by the State Department of Health, sub-
ject to affirmative action by the Legislature, to transfer Biggs
Memorial Hospital to Tompkins County for use as a general
acute hospital
We have discussed this proposal at length with the repre-
sentatives of the State Department of Health Our under -
'standing is that the title to the entire Biggs Hospital prop-
erty and all its equipment and furnishings will be transferred
to the County for the foregoing purpose, without charge and
without reservation or other stipulations
We have made as careful study and estimates as the lim-
16 January 9, 1956
ited time would permit and it is our opinion that this pro-
posal offers great advantages to the County over our con-
templated project of building an annex to the present hos-
pital building In our opinion, if our building project is
halted at its present stage, reckoning the architect's fee to
date, plus our share of the new heating plant, plus the cost
of adapting Biggs to our needs—after taking account of these
total outlays, the Biggs proposal would still save the county
a substantial amount of money over and above the cost of
building the annex
Our estimates also indicate that the Biggs can be efficiently
operated and that after the first year, its operating cost can
be made comparable with the cost of operating our proposed
new annex and hospital on the present site
Apart from these considerations of cost, there seems no
question that in view of the property value, the splendid
facilities, location, spaciousness, and general desirability of
Biggs, this proposal by the State is so advantageous that
Tompkins County has much to gain from this offer We re-
gard this proposal as opening the way to a far finer hospital
and medical center than the County could ever hope to
otherwise have
The Board of Managers of the Tompkins County Memorial
Hospital at a special meeting have unanimously passed the
following resolution
BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Managers recommend to
the Board of Supervisors the acceptance of the offer of the
State of New York of the Hermann Biggs Hospital for the use
of Tompkins County as a general acute hospital and health
center in lieu of the plans developed for hospital facilities
on the present site up to this time
R 0 Daughety, Administrator by
Direction of the Board of Managers
Mr Daughety spoke regarding the cost of transferring as
to cost of building on present site Mr Genung, President
of the Board of Managers of said hospital, expressed concern
of more expense in building on the present site than the
managers had anticipated, and that this gift, if materialized,
is quite a surprise
1
January 9, 1956 17
Dr Broad, Commissioner of Health, stated that it had
been rumored for the last two years that the tuberculosis
hospital might close, but that the matter was for legislative
decision and not by the people He also remarked that state
aid ceases when the census exceeds 60,000
Meeting of the Committee of the Whole adjourned and the
Board proceeded with its business
Resolution No 10 Acceptance of Proposal for Transfer
of Hermann M Biggs Memorial Hos-
pital and Equipment to the County of
Tompkins
Mr Conley offered the following resolution and moved its
adoption
WHEREAS the Commissioner of Health of the State
of New York by letter to the Chairman of this Board dated
January 4, 1956, has proposed a transfer of the Hermann M
Biggs Memorial Hospital, including basic hospital equipment,
to the County of Tompkins without cost, and has offered to
recommend the enactment of necessary legislation to this end,
AND WHEREAS the Board of Managers of the Tompkins
County Memorial Hospital has recommended the acceptance of
this proposal,
AND WHEREAS the members of this Board believe that
it will be in the public interest to accept the said proposal, in
that it will provide excellent hospital facilities for the people of
Tompkins County on a site that is easily accessible, with plenty
of room for expansion, and at the same time will make it un-
necessary to continue with the program for expansion of the
present facilities,
RESOLVED that this Board hereby approves and ac-
cepts the proposal of the State Commissioner of Health upon
the condition that the legislation making it possible is enacted
at the 1956 session of the legislature, and agrees to take what-
ever further steps are necessary to put the proposed plan
into effect
Seconded by Mr Lounsbery Carried

June 11, 1956
"Dear Mr Chairman .
We understand that Cornell University has at your
request written today the general terms and conditions
upon which it will sell to the County the East Hill Air-
port, subject to Cornell having first purchased Mohawk's
interest in the airport and subject to certain other condi-
tions
We wish to point out to the County that Mohawk is
offering its interests in this property and related im-
provements (not including hangar buildings) to the
County on a depreciated cost basis which we believe to be
far below present replacement value, which makes no
allowance for the maintenance of the property as a
publicly used facility during the last eight years It is
our understanding that the sale upon these terms will
not return any element of profit to either Cornell or
Mohawk
We shall be happy to meet with representatives of the
County at your convenience to negotiate for operating
privileges at the airport in the event the County decides
to purchase "
Mr Walpole, Chairman of the Special Committee on Sales
Tax, ,made an oral progressive report of that committee.
He stated the committee had visited Erie and Monroe Coun-
ties and the City of Auburn They found that to adminster
the tax a director, filing clerk and a stenographer would
be the minimum office force and that the cost of administra-
tion would be about one and one-half per cent If a tax
raised in Tompkins County on the same basis as the City
of Auburn it would bring into this county about $510,000
He also stated that if a sales tax was established he did not
feel that it would reduce real estate taxes to any great
amount
Erie County uses their tax for schools while Monroe
/ County allocated it for state, county and town finances He
June 11, 1956 89
remarked that he understood the Board of Education could
demand their share of the tax
Mr Hall, another member of the committee, stated the
merchants were to register with the tax department and
were to file a quarterly report with the Director as to his
gross sales for that period together with his check to cover
the same
Mr Conley, another member of said committee, stated he
visited these other communities with the committee and
they were "in tough shape and were pressed for money
right away" and remarked that he did not think we are
He was told that it took several auditors to check to see if
all the money was reported that should be reported to the
Director on the quarterly reports
Mr Miller, the other member of the committee, read a
report which was placed on file and offered the following
resolution
Resolution No 95 To Continue Intensive Study of Sales
Tax
WHEREAS the burden of taxation falls heaviest on the
shoulders of the property owner, and whereas the property
owner must have relief, and whereas a more equalized base
for taxation must be found, therefore be it resolved that this
Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County go on record as
being in favoi of continuing a more intensive study into a
sales tax for Tompkins County with the following facts in
mind
1 Amount of money that can be raised

5 Honest advantages and disadvantages
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this study
shall be completed on or before the September meeting of the

Mr T K Powers of the Chamber of Commerce Airport
Committee, presented a statement from that committee to
the effect that they had spent fifteen weeks investigating the
retention of Mohawk headquarters in Tompkins County He
stated that Mohawk Airlines at the present time employed
300 persons with a payroll of $1,500,000 The CAB officials
have assured this committee that if a bond issue is floated by
the county and amortized in the form of rent that Mohawk's
ability to meet rentals and its income would be sufficient for
said purpose
He also stated the plane parking, taxi -way and automobile
parking would be a net gain to the county He remarked
that a fire truck from Sampson had recently been received
by Cornell and would be used as fire protection by the County
It is estimated that $150,000 would be reimbursed from
federal government on construction of the terminal building
and the belief is that said building eventually will be self-
sustaining and operating at a profit Mr Powers felt that
the Board should take action at this time stating that the
ownership and operation are vital to the community, as well
as a credit, and that the investment by the county will be
paid many times
He commended the Board on behalf of the Chamber of
Commerce of the courage of the Board, the caution taken
and the thorough investigation made
The matter of said terminal building being tax exempt
was brought to the attention of the Board
118 July 16, 1956
Mr Lounsbery presented the following statement
"When the county's airport purchase was being discussed
as the first essential step in the retention of Mohawk's head-
quarters, the airline's president stated that all they were
asking the county to do was maintain the equivalent of 5
miles of county road
"The same authorized spokesman also stated at a meeting
of the Board of Supervisors that wherever Mohawk located
their permanent headquarters, they would build with their
own funds, a hangar and office building at a cost of approxi-
mately $2,000,000, and that such a building would be subject
to all local taxes
"Despite this assurance, it was subsequently proposed that
the construction costs of the headquarters facilities be fin-
anced by the county through a bond issue
"The explanation for this was supplied, not by airline
officials, but by the president of a local bank whose personal
integrity and knowledge of finance has never been open to
question He said in the presence of the airport committee
of the Board of Supervisors the airport committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, the president and other officials of
Mohawk, that they, Mohawk, tried to borrow the necessary
funds to build their own headquarters facilities from insur-
ance companies, New York banks, and other sources, and
had been unable to find anyone who would loan them the
money This statement went unchallenged and is still un-
challenged
"It is reasonable to assume that the officers of the banks
and the other loan sources which were approached have a
sound knowledge of airline financing in general, and that they
thoroughly investigated the financial status of Mohawk in
particular before arriving at their negative decision
"If the banks and insurance companies with their wide
experience in finance are unwilling to underwrite the pro-
posed headquarters construction, what moral right have six-
teen supervisors to force this county's thousands of taxpayers
to invest their money in the same questionable venture?
July 16, 1956 119
"The airport sub -committee's recent decision that Mohawk
is a sound financial risk is based on a CAB official's opinion
that it `would be difficult' for a subsidized airline to become
insolvent Assuming that time proves this to be a fact rather
than an opinion, what present assurance do we have that
existing airline subsides will not be discontinued during the
25-30 year bonding period's ,
"The CAB official expressed the opinion that the airline
would be able to operate more efficiently when its facilities
are consolidated But will the resulting saving be enough
to offset the added annual payment of $120,000 to amortize
the county bonds?
"The fact that there is a state law which prohibits county
property leasing for more than a 5 year -period has had little
publicity during these discussions This one fact alone should
be sufficient to stop the whole proposal Without an Act of
Legislature granting this county specific exemptment, we
may find ourselves at the end of five years at the mercy of
a Mohawk directorate which may be made up of a different
group of men than those with whom we are now dealing "
"But assuming that all goes well and the bonds are re-
deemed at the end of a quarter of a century, what will be
the cost to Tompkins County of the other concessions we
are agreeing to make? Included among other things is the
200,000 square feet of reinforced concrete parking and run-up
area, complete with the grading, subsurface, drainage, base,
and adequate lighting, 260,000 square feet of blacktop park-
ing area, adequate access roads, sewer and water lines , ade-
quate terminal building, bus service, public address system,
landscaping, etc , etc
'The committee has only the vaguest idea of the eventual
total cost, but to assume that it will be under a million dollars
is wishful thinking There is no question of this community's
need for adequate air service, but this has already been as-
sured through the county's decision to take over and operate
the airport Since Mohawk will be totally exempt from all
local taxes, the principal benefit from the maintenance of
its headquarters here will be its million -plus payroll While
this is no trifling sum, few if any direct benefits will come
to those outside the business and professional grourv,which -
120 July 16, 1956
have been so eloquently 'represented by the Chamber of
Commerce
"Certainly the owners of the 13 million dollars worth of
taxable farm property can expect negligible returns
, "The National Cash Register Company's new plant that
will soon be built on South Hill will operate with an anti-
cipated payroll comparable to that of Mohawk The company
will finance its own construction and will be subject to the
usual local taxes Why shouldn't we grant them plant fin-
ancing, tax exempt and 25 acres of valuable land on which
to build?"

Mr Hospital, Director of Civil Defense, appeared before the

magnetic Radiation" for which the radio industry in co-
operation with the federal government has spent over two
and one half million dollars The system will prevent enemy
bombers from riding in on a radio beam by shifting programs
from one station to another every 30 seconds Without Conel-
rad the public could not be quickly informed of an imminent
attack even though distant stations were so equipped, since
what might prevail a hundred or more miles distant might
not be applicable to Tompkins County
Mr Hospital further stated that with the use of Conelrad
during the period of emergency all radio stations not so
equipped would immediately go off the air but Conelrad
equipped stations would then forego all AM and FM programs
and the only programs remaining on the air would be
standard radio at 640 or 1240 which would give necessary in-
formation and instruction to the populace This information
would be of the variety that would apply to our own com-
munity

ment were purchased by the county technical assistance
would be provided during the change -over, together with
maintenance and testing of facilities when installed, at no
cost to the county
Mr Hall volunteered the information that the sheriff wants
auxiliary power for use if there is city current interruption
and Mr Hanna estimated that the additional cost in such

of the airport administration building, however he said that

Mr Miller, Chairman of the Sales Tax Committee, read
the following report of that committee
Mr Chairman
The special committee for study of sales tax for Tompkins
County after having studied the feasibility of such a tax
for Tompkins County would like to make the following
report
That whereby more education in the sales tax field is need-
ed in Tompkins County, and whereby it is agreed that any tax
affecting all residents of Tompkins County should take into
consideration all three units of local government having
taxing powers (county, city and education) and whereby
we as a committee feel that this whole problem of local
taxation and financing needs a thorough study we would
recommend that—a committee be appointed from this board
to work in conjunction with a similar committee from the
Common Council of the city of Ithaca and the Board of
Education, and said Committee to work as a committee of
the whole to seriously study the problems of financing and
taxation confronting all three units of local government, and
202 November 5, 1956
to report such findings as a committee report to the three
respective boards. Such study and report to be made, at
the discretion of said committee

Committee
Mr Graves read the following prepared statement in
support of the sales tax :
Mr Chairman With your permission I would like to
give my views on this question These views are my own, as
a result of much research such as personal contact, facts,
news clippings, books on tax structure etc Even though
I sat in with your committee on just about all of their meet-
ings, I would like to present a few ideas of my own In fear
of forgetting I have written them down
We have reached the point where we must look reality in
the face or bankrupt the backbone of our community, its
homes, farms and smaller enterprises
This tax is destined to become almost universal and those
communities which lag behind will be years digging out of
their cellar of regret.
Contrary to the scuttle butt that has been bandied about
the past few weeks to the effect that you only adopt this
tax to stave off bankruptcy, let me assure you that a very
small percentage of the communities adopting the sales and
use tax adopted it for that purpose
The argument is that we should bond and go into debt
rather than have a sales tax This has been the path fol-
lowed by ever so many communities where the sales tax
finally is adopted as a last resort and after it can be of no
relief to the property tax, being consumed in debt service
My admiration is for the sales tax committee for their
November 5, 1956 203
perserverance, honesty and integrity in gathering the facts
and presenting these facts truthfully
As for bonded indebtedness, we in Tompkins County are
fortunate due to the foresight of past boards of supervisors
to have an ideal situation, namely low indebtedness Some
of the opponents to the sales tax claim that we should in -
.crease our bonded debt to its limit Intelligence and economy
dictate that a community's borrowing capacity should be
conserved for depression years (As simple as that) Also,
gentlemen, when you borrow even on short term notes you
pay for the privilege.
As for loss of business to our merchants if this tax is
adopted, how many of you have noticed that the Federal
Reserve Bank reports on department store sales in cities
with the sales tax, such as Syracuse, New York City, Buf-
falo and Rochester Let me assure you those sales did not
decline •
(Mr Graves read from clippings the following statistics
"Four weeks ending Sept 22 sales up 5% Dollar volume up
4% Four weeks ending Aug 4 sales up 3% Dollar volume
up 4% Four weeks ending Aug 25 sales up 7% Dollar
volume up 4%.")
Speaking of Monroe County, from 1952 to 1954 sales of
taxable items have increased over 84 million dollars Its
stores and industries have continued to progress phenom-
enally , its population is growing rapidly , its modernization
program is colossal Its business has suffered no reprisals
because of the sales tax though it is surrounded by areas
having no such tax and gets a goodly volume of its business
from these areas
The sales tax has relieved the real property tax to the
extent of over 27 million dollars in three years, 1952 'to
1954, in Monroe County The sales tax revenues have exceeded
the general county tax (exclusive of chargeback) by well over
3%2 million dollars (Progress report of the' City of Roch-
ester shows that roads, bridges, fire equipment, buildings,
arterial routes, incinerator, water plant, skating rink and
highway equipment have been acquired )
Binghamton merchants now favor the sales and use tax
-when just about one year ago they opposed it vigorously.
204 November 5, 1956
Why is it that the chambers of commerce in other localities
will push for the adoption of the sales tax?
I think it is about time we quit listening to the merchants
and the Chamber of Commerce As we have observed during
the past few months their advice can't be classed as A-1
The home owners should come first, they were here first,
and if they hadn't been here these same merchants would
have moved on.
If one or even two million dollars for the budget has to
be raised by taxation, wouldn't it be much fairer to spread
it amongst the county's whole population and the tourists,
instead of plastering the few home owners we have left in
this county
I disagree with the theory that the sales tax should only be
levied in an emergency or when the county is on the verge
of bankruptcy I contend that down through the years the
real estate owners in this area have been forced to carry a
double and possibly a triple load of real estate taxes
Has it ever occurred to you just why there is such a low
percentage of small home owners in this county? The answer
unquestionably is the unfair distribution of the tax load
The question on the sales tax should be only equality of
taxation With costs of government increasing tremendously
each and every year with no halt in sight the percentage of
home owners will undoubtedly become fewer and fewer The
enclosed letter from a small home owner only makes me more
aware and ashamed of this horrible situation Knowing by
continuing the present type of taxation you are forcing upon
these American people -(who are entitled to the best) a lower
standard of living thereby increasing delinquency, welfare
costs and all the evils that go with this type of living The
young couples, incentive for owning their own home is rapidly
becoming a lost desire
Nowhere in this country can you find such a tax situation
as exists here where so few pay so much to carry so many
Our first and foremost obligation should be the home
owner who is taxed proportionally on both earnings and
property holdings, even without the unequal tax situation
that we have been cursed with
November 5, 1956 205
I feel on this question that each and every member of
this Board should put the welfare of the few taxpayers of
this county above any political implication or lobbying tac-
tics applied thus far
In the past few months I have heard the majority of
you supervisors admit without doubt that the taxpayers of
this county are burdened by an unfair tax load Well, what
are you going to do about it? Talk it over for another ten
years? By that time you will be talking to yourselves. The
poor real estate taxpayers will be long gone Or are you
going to adopt a fair, equal, proven and successful tax,
thereby relieving the burdensome real estate tax and putting
the future of the county on a sound financial footing?
On the assumption of "The more money governments get
the more it spends" let me say this We as supervisors con-
trol the purse strings of this county and with courage,
ability, economy and farsightedness I feel sure that this
will not happen here Local government officials can be
trusted not to abuse these increased perogatives
This permissive tax is a move toward home rule which
has become the guiding principle of state local finance It
is the least discriminating, offers the l2roadest tax base
and gives the largest net return
Our friendly merchants claim the sales tax works a
hardships on them and the costs of collecting this tax will be
passed on to the customer Do these same friendly mer-
chants agree that when a small home owner receives a
total tax bill of $300 or more that this also is a hardship,
and when the landlord of these same merchants has his
real estate tax boosted that the tax increase is passed on to
the merchant and then on to the customer? So in the final
analysis just who does pay for this claimed hardship of
added costs etc 9
Can these same merchants with branch stores in nearby
cities (where the sales tax is in force) show that the same
merchandise is lower in price in Tompkins County without
the sales tax
We all have heard the praises of the State of Florida sung
to the heavens No real estate taxes and let's move to
206 November 5, 1956
Florida Well, many have moved None of you have to be
told that the sales tax goes a long way toward keeping that
state's real estate tax at a minimum
This tax is now in effect in 33 states and nearly 2000
communities in this country. It is not new. It has been
tried and proven beyond a doubt, which only proves to me
that we here in Tompkins County do not have a monopoly
on brains
I, for one, would be very much in favor of this type of
taxation only if every cent realized, less operational ex-
pense, was applied to the reduction of the tax rate
Ed King, a local attorney, has offered the idea of a local
income tax tied to the state income tax for raising local
revenue I would like to suggest to the Board that we take
some action to get the state government to investigate and
study the possibility of such a proposal We could perhaps
draft a resolution memorializing the state legislature to
take up this proposal or perhaps we could ask the Governor
directly to initiate a study of it
At this point in the tax picture, the combined city real
estate tax is approximately $30 per thousand Now add this
to the proposed needs and projects of school, city and county
By 1960 I can see a combined tax rate of $45 per thousand.
Therefore a study of any proposal that would relieve the
burden of real property is worth consideration
Forty-three of New York's upstate counties increased taxes
on real property in 1956, while fourteen cut taxes Which
county had the largest decrease? Monroe County with
$167,626 or 11/2%, while Tompkins County increased 41/2%.
I believe that taxing all of the people in proportion to
their ability to buy is a fair way to collect this money,
that to tax it against people's home, farms and real estate
would be disastrous injustice and would react in some fash-
ion against every last person who may oppose a sales tax for
selfish reasons
Because nobody can escape the lavish age and patterned
economy in which we live nor set himself apart from it, he
must progress with it or be left behind alone, as must Tomp-
kins County.

REPORT OF EQUALIZATION COMMITTEE FOR
APPORTIC►NMENT OF GENERAL AND HIGHWAY
TAX LEVIES FOR THE YEAR 1957
To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County, N Y
Your Committee on Equalization reports that they have
examined the assessment rolls of the several tax districts in
the County of Tompkins, for the purpose of ascertaining whe-
ther 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 following statements so as to make the ag-
gregate equalized valuations as indicated in the tabular state-
ment below

REPORT OF COUNTY HISTORIAN FOR 1956
TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
I hereby submit my report as County Historian for the
year 1956
During the year I have had numerous requests both
personal and by mail for historical and geneological informa-
tion, which I have endeavored to furnish
I gave one radio presentation and five talks before county
organizations on the history of the county
As a historian I appeared with other organizations be-
fore the Common Council urging consideration for the preser-
vation of City Hall, Ithaca's historic landmark
It was my privilege to attend a meeting of local histor-
ians at Buffalo in February during the Town Officer's An-
nual Conference
In September I called a meeting at which six town his-
torians were present Reports of their activities were given
and instruction was offered to assist them in their work
A number of books and pamphlets on the history of this
region were acquired and placed in my archives , also items
and clippings of local interest have been recorded and placed
on file
The County Historian takes note of two important
happenings of the year upon which the Board of Supervisors
made decision In June the board voted to acquire the Airport
property and extend a lease to Mohawk Airlines
On October 24th the Board accepted a deed to the Biggs
Memorial Hospital from the People of the State of New York
to the People of Tompkins County thus transferring a special
State Hospital to the county for use as a general hospital
Yours truly
W GLENN NORRIS
Tompkins County Historian
Tompkins County, New York 473
REPORT OF CURATOR
To the Board of Supervisors :
After four years of devoted service to the Tompkins
County Historical Museum, Mrs ElDora Stewart resigned
as curator July 1, 1956, and the undersigned was named to
the position as of that date
The first activity of the new appointee was to attend two
seminars conducted by the New York State Historical Associa-
tion at Cooperstown As they were particularly applicable to
the needs of the Museum, he participated in Family History
and in Community History
In the local field, his initial activity was visits to the
town historians in the county to establish a liaison and proffer
them assistance in developing projects In co-operation with
W Glenn Norris, county historian, he prepared and printed
a handbook for these historians, a copy was sent each of
them and to each supervisor The handbook has since -won
state recognition
Before the opening of schools last fall, your curator
wrote and printed a pamphlet addressed to Parents It ex-
plained the necessity for their becoming familiar with com-
munity history so as to enable them to develop in their child-
ren a knowledge of the basis of American citizenship Re- ,
sponse has been satisfactory as reflected by the increasing
number of these parents who visit the Museum
Another program has been developed to bring the schools
and the Museum into closer contact So as to avoid conflict
with the general public, classes have been encouraged to visit
the museum on days other than Tuesday and Thursday, the
public days Also Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls
and several adult organizations have made like use of the
facilities, on occasion necessitating evening sessions
The Society has published two other sizable pamphlets
this year and President Genung has contributed several copies
of his previously published "Two Pioneers of Tompkins Coun-
ty " In, December there became available to the public "The
Pioneer Clevelands" which recounts the life of farm people
in Ulysses and Hector between 1810 and 1882. It was prepared
_ 474 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
in co-operation with Mrs Jessie Agard, Ulysses town his-
torian, who donated 100 copies The other publication of the
year was "Carrie Manning's Diary, 1869 " It has been
adopted by the Ithaca Public Schools, Union Springs Central
School and is used by the other schools in the county and by
the Yorker Clubs throughout the state Sales of publications
since July 1 have exceeded 330
In co-operation with Miss Shirley Jacobs as editor for
Cayuga Chapter DAR, the Society published a revised edition
of the Historical Sites of Tompkins County This folder is
being largely distributed to the schools
Your curator has developed several news features for
The Ithaca Journal which has co-operated wholeheartedly in
providing pictures and publishing historical matter Graves
of two Revolutionary War soldiers were added to the county
list in this way
To make the Museum's collection less static and more
useful, visitors are conducted on lecture tours School pupils
particularly are encouraged to ask questions and to return
individually and explore their interests The increasing num-
ber of young visitors who seek more information points up
the success of the plan
A number of students from high schools, Ithaca College,
Cornell University and the State Teachers Colleges have done
research at the Museum as have genealogists from distant
states Much material for Virginia W Mayer's Ithaca Past
and Present was researched at the Museum
It was planned that with the coming of winter efforts
would be concentrated in rearranging the main room where
space was needed The gallery had been used for storage, so
it was decided to sort this material, level the floor and con-
vert the area into a library section Brooks Pharmacy donated
some 600 feet of shelving, and this was utilized in constructing
shelves for 100 file boxes and eight book stacks These stacks
and others on the main floor were moved to the gallery
where Miss Lillian Leland, librarian, is classifying a large
collection of books with the assistance of Mrs Raymond
Frear Equipped with tables, chairs and adequate lighting,
a section of this area will afford readers an unmolested
work space.
Tompkins County, New York 475
Better utilization of space on the main floor has enabled
us to install a case for jewelry, one for the doll collection and
a third for the rock specimens A magazine rack brightens
a heretofore dark spot with a colorful array of current his-
torical publications, and a rack displaying folders of museums
in the Northeast enables the staff to render a further helpful
service to visitors
President Genung of the Society donated a motorized
mimeograph which is being used to produce the Bulletin and
various forms at considerable saving This equipment makes
possible maximum use of two modern typewriters and the
services of a professional stenographer and typist, Mrs
1 Wayne Bliss, who is engaged on a contract basis and is re-
compensed by the curator from his salary
With this service, many irreplaceable but worn manu-
scripts will be typed on rag paper and bound so as to pro-
long their usefulness and conserve space Since the Museum's
collection has never been fully indexed, several months will be
devoted to this project at a time when both mechanical equip-
ment and personnel are available
During several months, Miss Hattie Barnes has devoted
her time to sorting and classifying material in preparation for
indexing E W Leland is sorting, repairing and indexing a
considerable collection of maps, and Mrs Edith G Heidt, in
addition to continuing her project of filing vital statistics, is
assisting the staff in various assignments
Much work is being done on the genealogical tiles by
Mrs W A Smith Formerly it was thought these files con-
tained the records of some 800 early families of the county,
but it now appears that a revised count will greatly exceed that
estimate when the revision is completed A phase of this
project is the copying of family records found in Bibles Im-
portance of these records is emphasized by the increasing
number of genealogical inquiries, especially from the West
and Far West, as well as the gain in number of researchers
who visit the Museum
Visitors for the year totaled 1,511, with several states
and two foreign countries represented
476 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
The year closed with 202 paid-up members and 82 in
arrears There were 152 books and manuscripts added to the
library Donations of other materials totaled 59
These new programs enable the Museum to reach a larg-
er number of organizations and individuals throughout the
county with new services It is anticipated that a larger
membership will follow newly awakened interests

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
COUNTY PROBATION OFFICER AND CLERK
OF CHILDREN'S COURT OF THE COUNTY OF
TOMPKINS, N Y , FOR 1956
To the Board of Supervisors
This is the 38th annual report of your County Probation
Officer and Clerk of the Children's Court
Upon retirement of this official March 15,1957, Tomp-
kins County will enter a new era of probation which the un-
dersigned knows will be of distinct benefit both to the general
public and those violators of the law who are processed in the
various courts of this County
It is hoped that the County will approve of the State
plan for a director and four probation officers with two clerical
workers It is doubted if the County will accept this plan,
probably feeling that it is to extensive May I point out that
the new probation office will be expected to service the County
Court, the Cihldren's Court, the Justice of the Peace Courts
of the townships and the Ithaca City Court Any service
short of this would not be adequate It is doubtful that any
curtailed staff will be able to service all the courts thus named
111 accord with established state practices, now being used in
a large majority of the probation departments of the State.
During 1956 there were 597 formal cases brought into the
Children's Court alone Of this number 229 involved children
and 368 involved adults In 1955 the totals were 541 cases,
200 with children and 341 with adults, and in 1954 there were
215 children's matters and 317 adult cases for a total of 532
This steady increase in the last three years shows the need
for considerably more probation work in the Court and also
the need for preventative action which an enlarged probation
department could accomplish
Support collections in the Children's Court increased in
1956 over the 1955 record amount The 1956 total was $81,-
949 06 as against $79,931 47 in 1955 Restitution from child-
ren in 1956 amounted to $117 07 in small sums collected for
Tompkins County, New York 485
those damaged by children's acts In County Court support
and restitution collected in 1956 amounted to $1,585 57 and
in the Justice of the Peace courts to $1,104 00 Grand total
of funds collected in 1956 was $84,755 70
Probation was used more in the courts in 1956 than in
any other one year In Children's Court there were 46 boys
and one girl and 59 men placed on probation in 1956, a total
of 106 In 1955 only 33 children were placed on probation
Nine children were committed to institutions in 1956, many of
whom could have been saved such commitment if the proba-
tion services had been adequate The Welfare department had
to pay the State about $7,000 00 for the maintenance of these
children
The probation case load for the County on Jan 1, 1957
totalled 69 boys and five girls, 284 men and seven women for
the high total of 365 cases A year ago the total was 323, so
there was an increase during the year of 42 official probation
cases
The following tables show statistics from the various
Courts serviced during 1956 by your part-time officer:

Clerk, Children's Court
Tompkins County, New York 489
REPORT OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
Board of Supervisors
Tompkins County Court House
Ithaca, New York
Gentlemen
With the filing of this report for the year 1956 I am
completing nine and one-half years as District Attorney of
Tompkins County and relinquishing the office to my succes-
sor Reports for preceding years have contained the statistics
of cases handled and disposed of During the year 1956 three
sessions of the Grand Jury considered a total of 25 felony
cases All of these cases have been disposed of by plea, trial
or otherwise, with but 4 exceptions In these latter cases the
indictment is still pending and disposition has been postponed
for special reasons in each instance
As I have pointed out in previous reports, the statistical
record of felony cases handled by a District Attorney's office
reveals only a small part of the work of the office After nine
and one-half years as District Attorney I feel that my final
report should elaborate on this work to some extent, and
should contain some recommendations based on my experi-
ence in the position
Throughout 1956, as in former years, there has been a
considerable amount of prosecuting work in the magistrate's
courts throughout the county While the City 'of Ithaca em-
ploys a city prosecutor to handle the prosecution in the City
Court of crimes below the grade of felony, the District Attor-
ney is charged with the duty of prosecuting such cases in the
various courts of Special Sessions held by the Justices of the
Peace and Police Judges throughout the county These cases
are initiated in the main by the State Police or Sheriff, but
in many instances they arise on complaint of a private citi-
zen In this work I have been very ably assisted during the
past year by Mr Walter O'Connell of Dryden who was appoint-
ed an Assistant District Attorney by me pursuant to authority
granted by the Board of Supervisors Mr. O'Connell has
handled nearly all of the work of the Special Sessions Courts
in the eastern half of the county
490 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
A very important adjunct to the work of the District
Attorney in the Courts of Special Sessions is his relationship
with the magistrates of the county In this connection, I re-
vived the Tompkins County Magistrates Association in 1947
and have been its secretary ex officio since that time The
association meets regularly to discuss problems of law en-
forcement and to acquire knowledge and training in the
handling of criminal proceedings
The part of the District Attorney's duties which re-
ceives the least public notice but which is perhaps the most
important function of his office is that of handling the com-
plaints of private citizens As the chief law enforcement
officer of the county, the District Attorney is probably the
only person in county government to whom citizens of all
types can carry their grievances In fact, the Complaint Bureau
of the prosecutors office in large metropolitan centers con-
stitute the largest part of such organization During my
tenure of office I have listened to literally hundreds of com-
plaints from individuals, some serious and some petty These
complaints come at all times of the day or night, week -ends
and holidays included Each one is investigated, either by me
personally or with the aid of one of the various police agencies
in the county Many of them result in prosecuiton of one sort
or another, while others prove to be groundless or the basis
of civil litigation only This work of a District Attorney is,
in my opinion, one of the most important functions of the
office
During my tenure of office I have endeavored to take full
advantage of the benefits offered by the New York State
District Attorney's Association and have been an active
member This organization, made up of all the District Attor-
neys in the state, considers and recommends legislation, ex-
changes information on law enforcement problems and serves
as a means of bringing together the prosecuting officials of
the state to the end that there may be some uniformity in the
administration of the criminal law
It should also be reported that I have for the past two
years served as a lecturer at the course for Public Prosecutors
conducted each year in New York City by the Practicing Law
Institute, and am the author of one of the monographs used
in that course, entitled "The Rural Prosecutor" This course
is attended by prosecuting officials from all over the United
States and is one of two courses of this type which offers the
Tompkins County, New York 491
District Attorney practical instruction and training in the
duties of his office I strongly recommend that the District
Attorney of this county attend this course, and urge the
Board of Supervisors to make adequate provision in the
budget for the office so that he may do so
As a quasi-judicial officer, it is the duty of the District
Attorney in each case to be fair and humane In this con-
nection I have, during my tenure, been willing to give a de-
fendant consideration in reducing the degree of crime charged
in the indictment where the defendant has been wilting to
plead guilty and save the trouble and expense of a trial I
Ihave tried, however, not to take any position or make any
promises with reference to recommending sentence since I
feel that to do so places a District Attorney in the position of
bargaining for a conviction and can result in embarrassment
to himself and to the Court On the other hand, in nearly
every instance where the accused was 18 years of age or under
I have recommended that the full benefit of the Youthful
Offender Law be given to such defendant
The physical facilities of the District Attorney's office
have been most adequate However, there is at present a grow-
ing need for some space in which to store dead files and I
recommend that the Board of Supervisors make available
suitable space in the courthouse or elsewhere in which files
dating back more than 25 years can be placed in dead storage
The question of the District Attorney's salary is always
debated at the beginning of each new term The adequacy or
inadequacy of the salary is difficult to determine The re-
ported statistics of cases disposed of each year might lead the
casual observer to believe that the District Attorney has an
easy job However, as I have pointed out above, such figures
tell only a part of the story and do not reflect the time spent
in preparation of cases and investigation of complaints
throughout the year It is true that the position in this County
does not warrant the full time attenion of a practicing attor-
ney, and the cost of employing an attorney who would devote
his full time to the job and give up his regular law practice
would be prohibitive On the other hand, the 'part time' de-
manded of the job is often costly time to the prosecutor, and
many times results in a serious sacrifice of the private law
practice on which he depends for a livelihood I have been of
the opinion for some time that the People of the County would
be well rewarded by the employment of an Assistant District
492 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
Attorney, at a ,salary of approximately half that of the
District Attorne, who could share in the work of the office
The City Prosecutor, employed by the City of Ithaca, should
certainly be an assistant district attorney and thus in a
position to handle those felony cases in City Court which
originate in the City But there is also a real need for an
Assistant at large, who would be in a position to take some of
the burden of Special Sessions Court work as well as assist in
the handling of complaints and the preparation and trial of
felony cases Such a sharing of the work would make a full
time job for two persons working together, resulting in great-
er efficiency and service I strongly recommend that the
Board of Supervisors give serious consideration to the matter
of employing an Assistant District Attorney on a salary basis
In closing this report I want to express my appreciation
to the law enforcement agencies of the County and City of
Ithaca who have been such tremendous help to me during the
past years I have worked closely with the Sheriff's Depart-
ment and the Ithaca Police and, to a less extent, with the
New York State Police and have found them always wilting
to cooperate with me and give me all the assistance I need
I also want to express my appreciation to Miss Jane Gaherty
who has acted as Grand Jury stenographer during my tenure
and most especially to my very able secretary, Mrs Olive
Downing, who has so capably managed the District Attorney's
office during the past nine years

Tompkins County, New York 497
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
COMMISSIONER OF WELFARE
Chairman Stevenson and Members of the Board of
Supervisors :
I submit herewith my report of the Department of Public
Welfare for the year 1956:
There have been no unusual special items of cost during
the year, but of grave concern to all of us is the increase and
I demand for assistance during the year in 'spite of good em-
ployment and high wages and it is not particular to Tomp-
kins County alone for all districts report advances. We have
been fortunate in having only two changes among the em-
ployees, which lets us start this year with more experienced
workers and this should mean better administration and I
hope reduced costs
During the year Mrs Reed, our Intake Worker, has had
486 applications and we have the following clients in the vari-
ous categories :
December 31, 1955 December 31, 1956
57 Home Rehef 82
386 Old Age Assistance 377
88 Aid to Dependent Children 101 including 306 children
10 Aid to Blind 9
73 Aid to Disabled 73
162 Child Welfare 165
In Child Welfare 107 children are in foster homes, 28 in
institutions and 30 in the homes of parents To care for all
these clients we have 8 social workers in Pubhc Assistance, 3
workers in Child Welfare and 2 Case Supervisors The work-
ers do a good lob of contact but do not do as good a job as
they should with their histories However, now they are
catching up except in a few cases
Medical Costs • These are of very deep concern to us for,
as you know, the administration has endeavored to secure
some section of Biggs Hospital for use of our chronically ill
for better care than the nursing homes give and where a din-
ing room and recreation facilities could be had for those who
498 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
are ambulatory instead of their all being bed patients, but so
far nothing definite has been secured either from the Medical,
Hospital Committees or from the Hospital Board of Managers
It may cost more but the sick will be happier and perhaps
some may be able to return to their homes In spite of the
amount paid nursing homes, they have been refusing our
clients because of price and they won't advise the Commission-
er what price they want.
The amounts spent for medical, plus amount paid to
nursing homes, are as follows •
Medical $ 55,037 12
Hospital 58,529 87
Prescriptions 32,774 81
Dental 8,369 58
Total
Nursing Home Care
$154,711 38
94,684 31
TOTAL $249,395 69
This total amount is far beyond what a county like Tomp-
kins should pay.
Resource Activities 1956: As of January 1, 1956 there
were 37 properties deeded to the Welfare Department During
the year 1956 we sold two and acquired six, making an in-
crease of four or forty-one (41) properties as of January 1,
1957
These properties are distributed as follows :
City of Ithaca 13
Town of Danby 1
Town of Dryden 8
Town of Caroline 5
Town of Enfield 1
Town of Groton 5
Town of Ithaca —
Town of Lansing 3
Town of Ulysses 5
Total 41 properties
Tompkins County, New York 499
The following recoveries were made:
$1,785 00 from the sale of two properties (after paying off
mortgage)
1,656 71 from sales contract completed
466 67 from payment on an assigned mortgage
1,365 46 from 9 claims for lump sum Social Security benefits
2,679 62 from 12 death claims on assigned life insurance
policies
694 20 from settlement of claim against an estate of re-
cipient
365 64 from two separate sales of personal goods
794 94 from sale of an unassigned lot
County Home As of December 31, 1956 the population
at the Home was 25 men and 2 women We had 275 transients ,
gave lodgings to 348 and served 728 meals
The estimated value of production on the County Farm
for the year 1956 is $8,785 58 We collected total cash on the
Farm during the year for produce and other sales $5,469 38
and for maintainance $3,316 20
The insurance inspector has requested that the water
tank and stand be painted this spring As the Finance Com-
mittee did not see the need for leaving the requested amount
in the budget suggested by the Commissioner, I will have to
ask for an appropriation after secured bids
I am inclined to make some caustic comment on the Fin-
ance Committee's statement that I did not know how to esti-
mate a budget Had the Department been granted the amount
I requested in 1956, the difference between my request and the
actual expenditure of $833,955 00, there was a difference of
$2,778 18—not a bad guess

tures, reimbursements and recoveries are shown on the next

tate my coming and calling for more money In this situation
the fine point of the pencil of the Finance Committee has not
502 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
taken into consideration the possible repairs that come up and
have to be done
I want to thank the Board for the salary increases in our
department, which means that we have a more permanent
force as we have only had two changes this year The social
workers need a year of experience before they have the knowl-
edge to make it possible to administer their groups economi-
cally
If there are any questions I will be glad to answer them.

ANNUAL REPORT OF COUNTY ATTORNEY
1956
To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County
In addition to the usual grist of routine matters and day
to day legal problems in the various departments and in the
Board of Supervisors, the office of the County Attorney in
1956 has been concerned with a number of items of major
importance
The transfer of the Hermann M Biggs Memorial Hospital
buildings and grounds from the State of New York to the
county for use as a public general hospital was a major
undertaking, and, as you know, the remodeling of the Biggs
properties and the many problems created by the transfer of
the county hospital from Quarry Street to its new site are
still in the future In my office many documents of title were
received and examined
In 1956 also the Board of Supervisors decided to acquire
from Cornell University its airport in the Town of Lansing
This involved many conferences with University and Mohawk
Airlines officials, and with representatives of the Civil Aero-
nautics Administration and of the State Department of Com-
merce When the University acquired the airport it picked
up no less than twenty-three separate parcels from individual
owners, and it was part of my duties to examine the title to
each of these twenty-three parcels This was complicated by
the fact that only three or four of them were transferred to
the county intact Most of them were divided up because the
University insisted upon retaining title to a fringe of lands
surrounding the airport on all sides It was also complicated
by several existing leases and easements I prepared and de-
livered to the Civil Aeronautics Administration a thorough and
lengthy title opinion covering the whole situation
In connection with the transfer of the airport, you will
recall, that Mohawk Airlines, Inc who had been operating
the airport for a number of years under University owner-
ship asked for and received from the county board three sep-
arate agreements a more or less standard airport lease of
the facilities providing for landing fees and a rental by Mo-
hawk of space in the office building, an Operations Area
504
Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
Lease by which the county leased to Mohawk about nine acres
of land upon which their reserved buildings stood , and an
interim lease providing for the operation of the entire airport
by Mohawk until the County was ready and equipped to take
over Beyond that was the unsuccessful Chamber of Com-
merce campaign to get Mohawk to keep its headquarters in
Ithaca, with proposed arrangemnts for the county to con-
struct and finance a two million dollar headquarters build-
ing , and the relations with Mohawk since its decision to
move to Utica
Another important matter which required attention from
my office were the problems and controversies arising out of
the complete appraisal of county properties by the Doane
Appraisal Service, Inc Actions were begun in Supreme Court
to review assessments in the towns of Dryden, Ulysses and
Lansing The Lansing action claiming exemption for the
Kingdom Farms properties is still pending after a week's
trial late in November The other two actions whch attacked
the validity of the Doane appraisals and which threatened to
upset the whole basis of the new county equalization, were
settled under pressure from Supreme Court Justice Reynolds
While these actions were nominally against the assessors of
the towns, the board recognized that vital interests of the
county were at stake and since I was the attorney of record
for the towns, the county employed counsel to assist me and
help defend these actions It might have been a salutary
thing from the county's point of view to have tried these ac-
tions to a finish so that the Doane people could have explained
their methods of appraisal to the public in the courtroom,
but, on the other hand, there was some advantage in the
settlement because if one or two taxpayers had by any chance
been successful in their attack on the system, it might very
well have resulted in an avalanche of actions in the follow-
ing year
One of the most interesting matters that came to the
office of the County Attorney was the request from the Board
of Elections to rule on the matter of counting an absentee
ballot cast in the General Election when it was known that the
person who sent in the ballot died two days before the elec-
tion This case was doubly interesting because the election
for supervisor was won by one vote, and there had been a tie
vote in the previous election between the same candidates. It
was mentioned on Lowell Thomas's newscast and I received an
inquiry about it from Ripley's "Believe It or Not " After ex-
Tompkins County, New York 505
amimng the law and ascertaining that, although the inspectors
of election at the polls knew of the death of the person whose
vote was in question, the vote was counted without challenge
or objection, I ruled that the Election Commissoners had no
authority to change the result As you know, an action was
immediately brought by the unsuccessful candidate in Su-
preme Court requiring the Election Commissioners to show
cause why the particular ballot should not be thrown out and
why the election of supervisor in the Town of Lansing should
not be declared void I defended this action for the Commis-
sioners and filed a brief It was vigorously and ably prose-
cuted, but after several weeks of study, the Supreme Court
Judge upheld my ruling Later in a quo warranto action de-
fended by Attorney Fred Bryant, the Attorney -General of the
State made a similar ruling The basis of the opinion in both
actions was that the questionable ballot was not challenged
or protested at the polls
During the past year I have been ably assisted by Assist-
ant County Attorney Robert I Williamson He has handled
practically all of the Welfare Department business including
the trial of six paternity actions, and eight support actions,
and day to day advice to the case workers, case supervisor,
and Commissioner of Public Welfare Mr Williamson also
handled the Workmen's Compensation cases at the monthly
hearings before the referee, and rendered me invaluable aid
and counsel in many other matters which came into the office
Accompanying this report, or to be filed at a later date,
is a summary of the legislation affecting municipalities which
was enacted at the 1956 session of the legislature

31 December 1956
To the Honorable Harvey Stevenson, Chairman, County
Board of Supervisors, Tompkins County, New York
and
the Honorable John F Ryan, Mayor, City of Ithaca, New
York
I have the honor to transmit herewith the sixth annual re-
port of the Ithaca -Tompkins County Civil Defense for the

INTRODUCTION
During 1956 the Civil Defense organization greatly expand-
ed its Welfare, Radiological and Warden Services
On May 19th 1956 "OPERATION ITHACA" emphasized
the role of the Welfare Service, and for that exercise six Wel-
fare Centers were in Operation
Because of the fact that an exercise was conducted in Wav-
erly, New York, by the New York State Civil Defense Com-
mission on that date, Tompkins County dispatched medical
personnel and others to that locality
Tompkins County is most fortunate in having so many
trained and loyal volunteers in its Civil Defense organization
and it is desired to express appreciation to them for this self-
less service

vice the leadership which is needed to assure an efficiently
run service, but the requirements which are set forth far ex-
ceed the capabilities of chief of the medical service, who in
this case is the County Health Commissioner, and whose full
time job is that of commissioner Under his capable guidance
a non-professional administrator could carry out the above re-
ferred to directives

tion composed of members who have attained the rating of

sistant
