Pursuant to the above call, the Board of Supervisors met
at the Grand Jury Room, and was called to order by the
Chairman, at 11 o'clock, A. M., on Thursday, April 1st, 1880.
On a call of the roll, all the members answered to their
names, except Mr. Harvey.
The Chairman stated that the object of this extra meet-
ing of the Board, was to consider certain questions arising out
SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS.
of the action of Douglas Boardman in bringing the matter of
his assessment as agent again before the County Court, by
notice to the Clerk of the Board of a motion to be made before
said Court, praying for an order requiring the County to re-
fund the amount of said Boardmari's tax as such agent afore-
said. There was also a controversy, or likely to be one, as
the Chairman had been informed, with the Bank at Trumans-
burg, respecting.the tax levied on that corporation. The sub
ject of the advisability of some action by the Board in refer-
ence to the raising of a sum of money, say $300, for the Uri-
versity Weather Signal Station, might very properly be con-
sidered at this session.
Quite a lengthy informal discussion of these subjects by
the members of the Board followed the reniarks of the Chair-
man.
Mr. Built offered the -following which, on motion of Mr.
Crocker, was adopted :
Resolved.—That a Committee of three, in which the Chairman of this Board
shall be included, be appointed to defend, in the name of this Board, the claim
brought by Hon. Douglas Boardman, Agent, to recover Three Hundred and
Forty-Eigiit Dollars, the amount of tax levied on Twelve Thousand Five Hund-
red Dollars assessment, claimed by said party to tie an illegal assessment; and
said Committee be empowered to take such steps in the case as they may deem
proper.
The Chairman designated the Supervisor of Ithaca and
of Groton, respectively, as the other two members of the Com-
mittee, under the resolution.
The Chairman read a letter from Prof. Fuertes upon the
subject of an appropriation for the Weather Signal Station:
Mr. Epenetus Howe being present, at the suggestion of
Mr. Crocker he stated that he had been informed that there
were fines that had been imposed for violation of the excise
laws in this county which were uncollected. These and the
judgment in the Cortright suit, which judgment had been sat-
. isfied of record, but the avails of which had never been paid

over to the county, occupied the_ attention of the. Board dur-
ing the remainder of the morning session.
At hall -past twelve. the Board, on motion, adjourned. to
two o'clock, P. M.
AFTERNOON SESSION
Board met pursuant to adjournment.
•Roll called ; present, Messrs. Cooper, Alexander, Fitch,
• Beers, Crocker. and Burtt-Messrs.-.George and Stevens ex-
cused.
Prof. Fuertes appeared before the Board, and presented
the claims of the University Signal Station.
At the conclusion of Prof. Fuertes' remarks, Mr. Wm. N.
Noble, .on invitation of the Board, presented .the alleged
grievance of . the Trumansburg Bank, in the' matter of its as-
sessment, and submitted the course which the Bank proposed
pursuing to bring the question properly ,and ;regularly before -
the Courts: -.The plan, proposed was, in 'brief; this': The
Bank having paid. its tax under protest, is'..to `bring . action
against the Supervisors of1the,(`ounty;:or.any one of.them, to
recover the :money thus paid by it. under' coercion of law,. Jr)
such a suit, the legality of. the Assessors' oath would..come
directly in controversy, and be definitively adjudicated: upon
by the Courts. The grievance of the'Bank is, not .-that it is
assessed at too high -.a. figure, but that the .assessments
throughout the town of Ulysses are discriminating and. un-
equal, and that the form of the oaths subscribed by. the ,as-
sessors admits of such unequal assessments ; that the said
form of oath is illegal and void. Mr. Noble said. the Bank.
was willing to stipulate and agree as to the facts in thea case,
thus obviating the expense and delay. of a regular trial, ,and
enabling the parties to bring the main question—the question
of the legality of the Assessors' oath—before the . appellate
Court, the General Term, in the first instance. He thought it
might probably be ,brought before the May Term of the Gen-
SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS.
eral Term, which is to be held in Ithaca, and possibly, quite
probably, be decided at that term. of the Court.
After consultation among the members, it was agreed to
accept the plan of litigating the question submitted by Mr.
Noble, and, by general consent, Mr. Cooper was designated
to appear as party defendant tc the action, in order to perfect
the record and properly present the issue.
The matter of an appropriation for the Signal Station• was
disposed of by instructing the Clerk to inform Prof. Fuertes,
that the Board could not arrive at the conclusion that any-
thing within its power to do as a Board would aid in the
very worthy object sought by him.
Mr. Fitch offered the following, which, offmotion of Mr.
Burtt, was adopted :
WHEREAS. -It appears that a deficiency will occur in the Gas and Fuel
Fund, and in the appropriation for Willard Asylum for the present year ; there-
fore, be it
.Resolved.—That the County Treasurer be and is hereby directed to pay such
deficiency from the Court Fund.
There being no further business before the Board, the
minutes of the day's proceedings were read and approved,
when, on motion, the Board adjourned without day.

accompanying papers.
On motion of Mr. King, the Report . was ordered spread
upon the minutes:
Followingis the Report
To the Board of 'Supervisors of Tompkins County.:
GENTLEMEN :—Pursuant to your resolution, of the ,12th
inst., requesting me to furnish to you a written Report, stat-,
ing .what action has been taken, andwhat decisions have
been rendered in the Boardman suit, I transmit to yourBoard
the following Report:
On the 20th day of April, 1880, an application was made
by -Douglas Boardman, to the County Court of Tompkins
County, for an order directing and requiring the Board of. Sup-
ervisors of the County of Tompkins, to refund to,him=the -sum
of Three Hundred and Forty-eight Dollars,withinterest there-
on from the 14th day of January, 1880, being the . amount of
tax alleged to have been illegally collected of him, upon an as-
sessment, made against him as agent, in the sum of $12,500; of.
personal property, in the assessmentroll of taxes for the Town
,of Ithaca for the year 1879.
SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS.
This application was made upon a petition setting forth,
among other things, that•the assessors of said Town had made
an assessment in the said roll, as follows : "Douglas Board-
man, agent, personal property $12,500;" and that the personal.
property thus assessed, consisted of bonds, mortgages, notes,
etc., which. had been placed in the petitioner's hands for in-
vestment, by his sisters who resided in Monroe county, and
who were the owners thereof. It was further alleged in the
petition, that the petitioner had at no time any interest in, or
title to, the said personal property, or in the securities repre-
senting the same, except for the purpose of investing, manag-
ing and collecting the same.
The question of law presented by the application was,
whether personal property of the nature described in the peti-
tion, owned by a principal residing in Monroe county, but be-
ing in the possession of an agent, in Tompkins county, for the
purposes mentioned, should be assessed to the principal or to
the agent.
Under the direction of the Board of Supervisors, I appear-
ed before the County Court in their behalf, and opposed the
motion. However, the application was granted, and an order
made on the said 20th day of April. 1880, adjudging the said
assessment to have been illegal, and directing the Board of
Supervisors to refund the amount of tax collected thereon,
with interest. .
On the same day I appealed to the General Term of the
Supreme Court, from the order, and the case came on for argu-
ment at the May Term thereof.
At the September Term the Court handed down a decision,
reversing the order appealed from, and made an order deny-
ing the application, with $10.00 costs and printing disburse-
ments.
Since the case was submitted to the General Term, the
attorney for the petitioner has died, and the counsel who pre-
SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS. , 29
sented the case has become disqualified by a judicial appoint-
ment from acting further in the case, and no one having been
substituted in their stead to my knowledge, no further steps
have yet been taken in the case. I also transmit to you copies
of the papers in the matter.
Dated at Ithaca, N. Y., Nov. 20th, 1880.
WM. N. NOBLE.

To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County :
Your Committee on Treasurer's Accounts report that they
have carefully examined the accounts of the County Treas-
urer, and his vouchers,, in detail, and find them in all respects
correct and agreeing with the accompanying Reports. And
your Committee would further report that they have examin-
edthe securities held in trust by the County Treasurer for the
benefit of the Infant Heir Fund, and so far as they are able to
judge, consider those taken by him to be ample security for
the amount loaned ; and that after the most careful examina-

The Report of the Committee on the employment of Coun
ty convicts being the first . business, Mr. Horton, from- said .
Committee, submitted a written. Report. therefrom:
The subject of the Report elicited considerable discussion, .
at the conclusion of ,which the Report was unanimously • ac-
cepted.
• The Report is as follows
52 SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS.
To the Board of Supervisors :
Your Committee appointed to inquire into the feasibility
of the employmentof certain convicts would respectfully Re-
port :
That .from the examination of records there appears to
have been confined in the County Jail during the past year,
fifty-seven persons, convicted of various crimes, upon senten-
ces ranging from five to sixty days ; that the average number
during the year has been about four. The cost of board dur-
ing the same time has been $3.50 per week each, making a to-
tal expenditure for board alone; of about $728.
There have been sentenced during the past year to the
Monroe County P.enitentiary and other houses of detention,
from the Village of Ithaca alone, thirty persons, upon senten-
ces ranging from three to six months. The cost of transporta-
tion is $15.00 each, and the cost of board $1.60 per week, mak-
ing a total expenditure for this class of prisoners, from Ithaca
alone, of about .$1,282. This would indicate an expenditure
for board and transportation of prisoners convicted of crimes .
less than a felony, of about $3,000.00 for the County.
Your Committee have been unable, from the limited time
permitted them,, to investigate thoroughly the practicability of
the employment for hire of such prisoners, but from statements
made by officials and other competent persons, are led to be-
lieve that they could be so employed during at least a part of
the year, as to in a measure, if . notwho113 , compensate for
their support.
Your Committee would, therefore, suggest the appoint-
ment of a Committee to continue until the next annual session
of the Board of Supervisors, and that such Committee be au-
thorized and empowered to make such arrangements and en-
ter into such contracts, as to them may be considered advis-
able and best ; and that in the event of the employment of such
prisoners, such Committee consider the advisability of retain-
ing all prisoners convicted of crimes less than a felony in the

SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS. 133
The Trustees of School Districts shall report to the School Commissioners
between October first and the second Tuesday of the same month.
The School moneys are apportioned annually by the School Commissioners,
on the third Tuesday of March.
The Commissioner of Highways must execute a bond to the Supervisor of his
town within ten days alter his election.
Overseers of Highways must file a statement of all unworked highway -tax
with the Supervisors of their respective Towns, on or before the first day of
October. •
The Collector shall, within eight days atter receiving notice of the amount of
taxes to be collected by him, execute to the Supervisor of the Town, and lodge
with him, a bond in double the amount of said taxes, to be approved by the Su-
pervisor. The Supervisor, shall, within six days thereafter, file said bond in the
office of the County Clerk of his County.
The Assessors must complete the Assessment Roll on or before the first day
of August, and leave a copy thereof with one of their number, and immediately
thereafter, cause notice to be posted in three or more public places in their town
or.ward.
The Assessors shall meet on the third Tuesday in August, to review their as
sessments, and hear the complaint of any person conceiving himself aggrieved.
An affidavit to the Roll by the Assessors, made prior to the third Tuesday of
August, is a nullity. The Assessors must deliver the corrected Assessment Roll
to the Supervisor on or before the first day of September. The Assessor cannot
enter the name of a person on his Roll who became a resident after the first day
of July.
When the Assessors, or a majority of them, shall have completed their Roll,
they shall severally appear before one of the justices of the Town or city in which
they shall reside, and shall severally make and subscribe, before such justice, an
oath, in the following form :
" We, the undersigned, do severally depose and swear that we have set down,
in the foregoing Assessment Roll, all the real estate situate in the Town (or ward
as the case may be,) according to our best information; and that, with the excep-
tion of those cases in which the value of the said real estate has been changed by
reason of proof produced before us, we have estimated the value of the said real
estate at the sums which a majority of the Assessors have decided to be the full
and true value thereof', and at which they would appraise the same in payment of
a just debt due from a solvent debtor, and also that the said Assessment Roll con-
tains a true statement of the aggregate amount of the taxable personal estate of
each and every person named in such Roll, over anti above the amount of debts
due from such persons, respectively, and excluding such stocks as are otherwise
taxable, and such other property as is exempt by law from taxation, at the full
and true value thereof, according to our best judgment and belief."
134 SUPERVISORS PROCEEDINGS.,
The foregoing oath is in the precise language of the statute, and any depart-
ure therefrom,by assessors, is as needless as it is hazardous. The phraseology of
the statute would seem to be as concise as is compatible with its comprehensive-
ness. It is possible that a somewhat briefer form of oath, embodying the sub-
stance of the form laid down in the statute, might be adopted—but who can know
that the substance of the statutory oath is preserved Y No one, until the question
has been passed upon by a competetent Court. It will thus be seen that he who
departs from, by abridging, the form set fortlf in the statnte, is very liable to
cause the tax -payers to pay pretty dearly.for his economy of ink and paper. And
the possibility of any variance from the precise words of the statute with safety,
has reference only to form; any change in substance would be fatal. For in•
stance ; it is thought that taking the oath before any other officer than a justice
of the peace ofthe town, (or city) in which the assessors reside; or the omission
to state the value cif the property assessed, the basis on which the estimate is
made, and that such estimate is according to the best judgment and belief of the
assessors subscribing the oath, or of a majority of them; it is thought that these
defects, or any of them, would render the assessment a nullity, because not in ac-
cordance with the statute. It is hoped that the assessors of the several towns of this
County will observe the strict letter of the statute in the performance of their
important and responsible duties.
The Supervisor must report to the County Treasurer, on.the first Tuesday
in March, the amount of School moneys remaining in his hands.
Each Justice of the Peace must execute a bond to the Supervisor of his
Town.
Each Justice of the Peace shall make a report in writing, verified by oath,
every year, bearing date the first day of November, to the Board of Supervisors,
at their annual session, in which he shall state particularly the time when, and
the name of the person or persons from whom, any money has been received,
and also the amount, and on what account the same was received ; also all sums
remaining due and unpaid ; and that all moneys by him received have been paid
to the officer duly empowered by law to receive the same.
Each Justice of the Peace must pay all the money received by him, for fines
or penalties, to the Supervisor of his town.
Overseers of the l:oor cannot furnish supplies to a County pauper to exceed
the sum of ten dollars, without an order from the County Superintendents author-
izing further disbursements for such purpose.
All bills payable by towns must be presented to the Town Auditors for their
approval.
All bills for supplies furnished to County paupers, must be presented to the
County Superintendents of the Poor, for audit.
ALL BILLS PRESENTED TO ANY AUDITING BOARD, MUST BE VERIFIED BY
OATH, STATING THAT THE SAME ARE CORRECT IN EVERY PARTICULAR, AND THAT
NO COMPENSATION HAS BEEN RECEIVED FOR THE SAME, OR ANY PART THEREOF,
EXCEPT AS THEREIN STATED.
