Mr. Cornell, from the committee on Treasurer's
accounts, presented the following report, which,
on motion, was adopted, and ordered entered on
the minutes, and the committee discharged.
The undersigned, your Committee on Treasu-
rer's accounts, respectfully report, that after a
thorough examination of his Books and Vouch-
ers, they find the Treasurer's account, as render-
ed, correct. From this it appears that the
amount received by the County Treasurer dur-
ing the current year, was—
$941,368 00
The amount paid out, 716,758 78
Balance, 8224,609 22
State Bonds on hand, $220,000 00
Cash on hand, 4,609 22
$224,609 22
Notwithstanding the above balance in the
Treasury, there is, (owing principally to the great
increase of the amount of money required by
the Superintendents of the Poor during the past
year, and the Large amount of returned taxes,)
a real deficiency, as will appear from the follow-
ing statement.
The Board at its last session provided means
to pay the interest on the first issue of County
Bonds, and the principal and interest of the sec-
ond issue. But three Bonds of the first issue
have not been presented by their holders, and
the interest on them, ($45 06,) is yet unpaid.—
Also six Bonds of the second issue, amounting,
principal and interest, to $2,090 69, have not
been presented for redemption. •
In settling with the State authorities, the
Treasurer received $31,300 cash. The balance
nat expended for the redemption of County Bonds
is $2,508 16. He has also received from the
State about $3,000 for interest on State Bonds,
$65 02 of which has not been expended in pay-
ing interest on County Bonds redeemed. A more
full statement of these transactions may be found
in the report of the committee on County Indebt-
edness.
The sum of the above stated items is $4,708,-
93, which is in excess of the balance in the Trea-
sury $99 71, as will appear by the following
statement :
redeemed, 65 02
$4,708 93
Balance still In the Treasury as above 4,609 22
Deficiency, $99 71
Your committee are of opinion that the Boun-
ty Fund should be kept separate and distinct
from monies raised for the ordinary expenses of
the County. if this is not done, complications
would be likely to arise, which might become dif-
ficult to explain or arrange. They would there-
fore recommend for adoption the following resp.
lution:
Resolved, That from the balance in the Treasu-
ry, there be re -appropriated the sum of $45 06 to
pay interest on three County Bonds of first is-
sue; the further sum of 62,090 69 to pay principal
and interest on six County Bonds of the second
issue ; and that there be levied and assessed up-
on the taxable property of the County tLe sum
of $99 71 to make good the bounty fund, for mon-
ies drawn therefrom for ordinary purposes.
Respectfully submitted,
Interest unpaid on three County Bonds,
first issue, $45 06
Principal and interest unpaid on six
County Bonds, second issue,........ 2,090 69
Balance of cash reed from State, over
County Bonds redeemed, . 2,508 16
Balance of interest rec'd on State Bonds
over interest paid on County Bonds

In the matter of the :assessment of the Stock-
holders of the first National Bank of Ithaca
by the Assessors of the Town of Ithaca.
ToMrratis UouSTY, ss.
Alonzo 13. Cornell, of Ithaca, In said Coun-
ty, being duly sworn says, that the First, Nation-
al Bank of 1th'tea is an association organized
under and by virtue of the Laws of the United
7

York ; that deponent is the Cashier of said Bank-
ing association and has charge of its books, pa-
pers and securities; that the. Capital Stock of

lars, which amount is wholly invested in the
Stocks or•Bonds of the UnitedStates,—common-
ly known as the long Bonds of 1881and the 5-20
six per cent. Bonds; that deponent is informed;
and believes, that the persons hereinafter named
have been placed upon the assessment roll of
the_Town'of Ithaca, tor the amount of Stock held
by them, respectively, in said Banking Associa-
tion as, and for an assessment of the personal
property of such persons; that such persons own

sessment as in said assessment roll set forth for

sors should correct such• assessment roll, by

To The Honorable, The President and Board of
Supervisors of the Connty of Tompkins,
GENTS:
Permit me in behalf of the late Merchants'
& Farmers' Bank, respectfully, to call .your, at-
tention to the proper adjustment of the claim of
said Bank, for amount of Taxes over, charged
and over paid in theyear's1863 and 1884—as will
more fully appear by the papers hereto attached.
By;a misconception of the law or the construction
thereof, it will be observed that the amount of
tax erroneously levied and collected of said
Bank, in the year 1863 upon United States Secu-
rities which were not legally taxable, amounted
to the sum of $731 39, and the sum in like man-
ner unlawfully levied and collected in the year
1864,;amounted to $2314 86, which sums with the
interest thereon as per statement hereto attach-
ed, is claimed as legally and justly due arid
should be refunded to said Bank; as I am advis;
ed bas already been clone to Banks in the cities
of New York, Albany and other localities where
similar errors were committed.
Your early attention to the subject is respect-
fully solieted.
I have the honor to be, very Respectfully, your
obedient Servant,
J. B. WILLIAMS, Pres't
$200,000
And deponent further says, that said Bank is
the owner and possessor of thirty four thousand
dollars of other Stocks or Bonds of the United
States besides the Two Hundred Thousand Dol-
lars of Stocks and Bonds, in which the Capital
of said Bank is invested and of the same kinds
and description; that besides the bonds and
stocks aforesiad, said Bank has no property, real
or personal, liable to taxation either against said
Bank or its Stock -holders, nor has such Bank
any other property whatsoever, beyond its lia-
bilities; and deponent further says, that the
Stockholders of said Bank, have no assets in
said Bank but those represented by said Unit-
ed States Stocks. and that this deponent is ad-
vised, and believes, that said Bank and the Stock
holders of said Bank are equally and wholly ex-
empt from taxation under the Laws of the State of
New York, for the reason that the property of said
Bank and the property of said Stockholders in
said Bank is invested wholly in United States
Bonds and Stocks exempt from State or local
taxation, and consists wholly of such Stocks or
Bonds.
And deponent further says, that he makes
this affidavit in behalf of the Stockholders
above named, that they may severally be ex-
empt from taxation or assessment for State or
local purposes under the Laws of the State of
New York, so far forth as their property. consists
of the Stock of said Bank held and owned by
them respectively. A. B. CORNELL.

Mr. Griswold ' from' the Committo on County
Claims to whom was.referred the petition of Rev.
Sylvester -Mincer to have certain taxes claimed to
have been erroneously assessed upon him, for
the year 1864, refunded,' presented the follow
ing report and the same was -adopted.
Your Cominittee to whom was referred the ap-
plication' for relief of the Rev. Sylvester Mincer
from an alleged erroneous_ assessment on the
part of the Assessors of the Town of Lansing in
the year 1863, would respectfully report as fol-
lows:
The applicant for relief is a Methodist itiner-
ant minister who for the last two years has been
a resident of Cayuga County, .but who owns a
farm in.Lansing in this county. The amount of
the tax paid by the applicant on account of this
alleged error is $45. This he asks the Board to
refund.
The whole question at issue in this case is the
proper construction of the Statute relative to ex-
emptions, the language of .which is as . follows:
"iThe following property shall be exempt from
taxation m * * The real estate of every minis-
ter of the gospel, when occupied by him, to. the.
amount of fifteen hundred dollars."
It is clear that in order to be entitled to the
benefit conferred by the Statute; the claimant
must occupy the real estate on which the ex-
emption from taxation is asked. In the ease be-
fore us the point to be decided is this: "Is the
Rev. Mr. Minter an occupant of his farm in Lan-
sing, Tompkins County, while his residence is
in Cayuga County 7"
After a careful examination of authorities; and
consultation with able lawyers, your Committee
have come to the conclusion that the applica-
tion should be denied.
In the opinion of your Committee the words of
the Statute " when occupied by him," are without
meaning; unless the legistature intended by
them to restrict the benefits of •the exemption to
cases of actual residence upon the premises by
10.
the person who claims these benefits. Neither
ownership nor enjoyment of the avails of a farm
can of themselves constitute an individual an
occupant of such farm, either in the legal or ordi-
nary sense. But actual residence upon a farm,
constitutes an individual an occupant thereof,
though, rry in this case, such farm may he owned
and its fruits enjoyed by a person residing else-
where.
All which is respectfully submitted.

Mr. Fitch, from the majority of the Committee
on Equalization, to whom was referred the ap-
plication of the First National Bank of Ithaca,
for a correction of the assessment against the
stockholders of said Bank, presented the follow-

In the matter of the assessment of the Stock-
holders of the First National Bank of Ithaca.
nished by on^ present assessment roll.
The Tompkins County Bank with a capital of
$250,000 is assessed for only $102,000, while the
First National Bank 'with a capital of $200,000 is
assessed through its stockholders for the whole
amount. Such is the inevitable result of the
rule established by the Court of Appeals within
six months past. We do not believe the stock
of a banking corporation is taxable in the hands
of a stockholder. otherwise than the bank itself
would be taxable upon its aggregate capital if
assessable and taxable.

The question being first taken on the motiom.
to adopt the minority report, the same was lost
and the report of the majority was then adopted -
On motion of Mr. Green the following pream-
ble and resolution, was adopted.
Whereas, The eighth section of the aet of the
Legislature of this State, entitled "An act in re-
lation to the Bureau of Military Statistics, passed '
May 11th, 1865, makes it the duty of the Boards
of Supervisors to examine and if correct to for-
mally approve the statements made thereunto
by County Treasurers, and if incorrect, to cause
the same to be corrected and placed in the Bu-
reau of Military Record ;" and whereas Edward
C. Seymour, County Treasurer, has submitted to
this Board a statement and exhibit in confor-
mity with the said law now therefore be it
Resolved. That the said statement and exhibit
by the said County Treasurer made, and which
bear his certificate, are correct, and are hereby
approved in conformity with the eighth section
of the said act.
Note—The substance of said statement appears
in report of the committee on county indebt-
edness.
Mr. Cornell, from the. Committee on County
Indebtedness, .presented the following report rel-
tive to the claim' of J. A. Hathaway, which on
motion was received and adopted.
The undersigned, a majority of the Committee
appointed by the Board of Supervisors of Tomp-
kins County to consider this matter, upon the
affidavits of A. B. Cornell and D. Boardman, and
to make report of their conclusion thereon, do
respectfully report that they have read said affi-
davits and examined the law relating to the sub-
ject of state and local taxations of bank stocks,
in cases where the capital of said Banks is in-
vested in United States Stocks, which would be
exempt from such taxation in the hands of in-
dividuals, and have come to the conclusion• that
the application in this case to strike out from
the assessment roll oi the' town of Ithaca all ar--
sessments against the stockholders of the 1st
National Bank of Ithaca, should be denied. This
.conclusion is rounded upon the late decision of
the Court of Appeals, as stated in the opinion of
Judge Oenio, which is, if correct, conclusive up-
on this point.
Dated Dec. 4;1865. L. CONGDON,
M. D. FITOI',
L. Guiswoma.
Mr. Cornell- from' the minority of the same
committee presented the• following report, and
moved its adoption as a substitute for the report
of the majority :
In the matter of the assessment of the Stock-
holders of the First National Bank of Ithaca.
Your committee, to whom was referred the pa-
pers presented to this Board by Messrs. Board=
man da Finch, in the case of the claims of J. A.
Hathaway, of Oswego, as the. assignee of Fran-
cis Creque, Jr., Daniel D. Worden, William H.
Hopkins, Francis W. Avery and William H.
Price, for bounties, respectfully report, that they
have made a thorough investigation of the sev-
eral claims, and they are entirely satisfied that
none of the parties are entitled to any bounty
or pay from this County or any of the Towns, for
the reason that they had all enlisted in the ar-
my several weeks previous to any action of the
Board of Supervisors in regard to paying boun•
ties. From the certificate of the Adjutant Gen-
eral it appears that the persons enlisted as fel-
lows : '
Francis Creque,Jr., August 1, 1883.
Daniel D. Woren, August 6 1863.
Francis W. Avery, October 21, 1868.
William H. Price, - October 81, 1883.
The undersigned a minority of theCommittee
appointed by the Board oi Supervisors of Tomp-
kins County to consider this matter, upon the
affidavits of A. B. Cornell and D. Boardman, and
to make report of their conclusion. thereon, do
respectfully report that they have examined the
question submitted for their consideration, and
do recommend that the assessment against the
stockholders of the First National Bank of Itha-
ca. be stricken from the assessment roll of the
town of Ithaca.
The undersigned beg leave to refer to the case
of the People ex rel, Bank of Commonwealth agt.
The Commissioners of Taxes of New York, deci-
ded in the Supreme Court of the United States
in December 1864, for the principles of law appli-
cable to this case. It is there held that the capi-
tal of a bank invested in United States stocks is
not liable to be assessed or taxed for Local pur-
20.
William H. Hopkins, November 9, 1863.
The earliest action taken by the Board of Su-
pervisors in regard to the payment of Bounties,
Was on the 2nd day of December, 1863, which was
for "each volunteer who may hereafter enlist."
From this it appears that these parties were not
induced to enlist by any promise or inducement
of bounty offered by the Board of Supervisors or
any of the Towns.
Your committee have given this matter a most
careful consideration, having great sympathy
for the soldiers, to whom we should be glad to
see the bounties paid, and regreting that we are
obliged to consider and decide the case on its le-
gal merits. Respectfully submitted.
A. B. CORNELL, 1 - Committee.
LEVI CURTIS.
On motion of Mr, Curtis,
Resolved, That the County Clerk be, and he is
hereby authorized to procure the necessary
books, and to copy and compare the General
indices of Deeds and Mortgages in his office at

included.
On motion of Mr. Cornell, unanimously
Resolved, That the thanks of this Board are
hereby tendered to the Chairman, the Hon. Hen.
ry B. Lord, for the dignified, able and impartial
manner in which he bas discharged the duties
of his position.

Resolved, That the thanks of this Board are due
