SuI'ERvIsoJ s' PROCEEDINGS.
In the afternoon, Dr. Chapin and Steward Gilbert tendered their
services to the Board, in conducting them through the various stores,
meat market, laundry,, dining -rooms, and kitchen connected with
the asylum, giving the Board an opportunity, which they embraced,
of making a personal examination of the methods employed by the
. authorities in the care and maintenance of the patients.
Later on in the afternoon the visit was further extended to the
farm, farm buildings, and the different kinds of stock, and in every
.instance a detailed explanation was given by Dr. Chapin of the
workings of every department visited. Returning to the Superin-
tendent's apartments, tea was served, after which, and when the
Board had -assembled together, Mr. Boice, Chairman of the Com-
mittee on State Charitable Institutions, moved that the Chairman
of the Board, Mon. David Crocker, eat upon Mi. Hodson to thank
Dr. Chapin and his assistants, for the manner in which the Board
had been received and entertained by them.
Mr. i-Iodson then addressed Dr. Chapin, and after expressing the
thanks of -the Board for the genial hospitality and uniform cour-
tesy extended to there during the day, said:
"It has been the sentiment of al] the members of this Board of
Supervisors, many times expressed during the day, that the respon-
sibility of this great institution, with all its different departments
and varied interests, rests most worthily upon the present Superin-
tendent. And this Board will return home to -night with the feel-
ing that the unfortunate insane from Tompkins County are in kind
and good hands, and with the knowledge that t.heil• treatment and'
maintenance is in every respect excellent.' '
Dr. Chapin responded in a few well chosen remarks, in which he
said:
"I do not appropriate to myself any credit for attention shown
you during the day; I have only done what I believe to be my duty
as an .officer of this institution, and I feel amply repaid for ail that
I have done for you, by your showing such a marked interest in
the affairs of the asylum, and so thoroughly investigating the meth-
SUPERvIsoI s' PRocI3SDIxas. 39
ods employed in the care and support of the patients. This has
beeii clone by you to a greater extent than by any other Board of
Supervisors that•has visited the asylum."
At seven o'clock p. in. the Board took their leave of Dr. Chapin
and his assist:tilts, and returned to Ithaca, feeling amply repaid,by
the .events of the clay, for the time spent.

]toll Call—Full Board.
Mr. Beers offered the following i►reatublo and resolution, which
was, on motion of Mr. Crozier, adopted:
iVhereaa, It has become frequent for officers and persons, who have no au-
thority in such matters, to order medical examinations in lunacy cases; now,
therefore,
lteaolzed, That the Board of Supervisors will not audit the bill of any phy-
sician for such examination, unless such bill distinctly shows on its face that
the same was authorizetl by the proper officer, as designated in chapter 446,
laws of 1874. •
lir. Rockwell offered the following resolution, which was,- on
motion of Mr. Boice, adopted:
Resolved, That a unanimous vote of thanks he extended to Devoe P. Hodson;
Esq., for the capable manner is which he has discharged the duties ,of Clerk
of this Board.
lir. Horton offered the following resolution, which was, on r'rIo-
tion of Air. 'Wheeler, adopted:
Resolved, That the earnest thanks of this Board be tendered to our Chair-
man, Hon. David Crocker, for the efficient and impartial manner with which
he has presided over our deliberations during the present session.
On the adoption of the above resolution, Chairman Crocker ad-
dressed the Board as follows: •.
Gentleman -It is unnecessary for me to say that I feel grateful
for this vote of thanks.
it' I have performed the duties of presiding officer acceptably
during this session, it is, in a measure, owing to your forbearance
and courtesy.
J` I felt at the time you selected me to preside over your delibera-
tions, that you had extended to me an unmerited compliment.
I have endeavored, to the best of my ability, to maintain with
4
76 SUPEIVISORS' PROC IR EDINGS.
strict impartiality the dignity of• the chair, and the obseifvance of
order, and aim happy to believe that in so doing no sting has been
left behind.
'.17he course which you have pursued to carry out miich needed
reforms, and to obliterate old party precedents; will, T believe, win
a plaudit 'greater than T can give them; the approval of a majority
of vour constituents; and all efforts of interested parties to create
an adverse sentiment will prove unavailing.
It is a matter of congratulation to you, as a Board, that notwith-
standing the State.tax for this county is upwards of $13,000 more
than last .year, yet by Your care and economy the county expenses
have been correspondingly decreased the prc5ent year.
Again, gentlemen, T thank you for the past, and crave your best
wishes for the future, and if there be no further business we will
listen.to the reading of the minutes of the day's proceedings; pre-
. paratory to the final adjournment of the Board.
There being no further business, the minutes of the day's pro-
ceedings were accordingly read and approved, when, on motion, the
13bard adjoiirned without day.
