The following report . comprises all the changes and im-

-approximate cost of such improvements from the spring of
1894. to the present time, for the information of the tax payers of
Tompkins county.: -
to The Supervisors' Proceedings, 1896
REPORT OF COUNTY PROPERTY BY COMMITTEE—ALMS HOUSE..
Your committee on county buildings consider it a part oftheir duty to•
submit to you the conditions of the county property ; not only its present.
condition, but the improvements and the approximate cost of such during
their incumbency, together with the recommendations of any further needed. ' •
changes.
We take pleasure in reporting to you, that the Alms House stands to day
in class No. i, compared with counties of about equal population in the
opinion of Dr. Hoyt, one of the Members of State Board of Charities that now
control these institutions.
The Hospital, by suggestion of said Board of Charities and by resolution.
of the Supervisors, has been changed from the old wooden building to south.
front of the main brick building with a large veranda running across the
front, and changes were made inside by removal one wall to enlarge the
room, and closets, bath room and other modern improvements put in for the
accommodation of the unfortunate. inmates.
The committee has also prepared for fire protection by placing through-
out the buildings, fire hand grenades,improved fire pails, and pails of sand,
together with two small chemical extinguishers.
They have caused the removal of the old tramp house to another more
convenient place on account of the close proximity to the wooden buildings,
precautionary to danger from its inmate tramps for whom it was exclusively
used.
An investigation of the farm, by experienced parties was satisfactory evi-
dence that ditching was• needed to some extent, and in consequence about two -
hundred and fifty rods was ordered and laid by experienced workmen satis--
factory to the Superintendent.
During the winter of this year the old range collapsed and the committee
was compelled to put in a new one, and as a matter of economy in their
opinion, a first-class one was ordered and is giving good satisfaction.
On account of the conditionof the several barns and the various out-
houses connected to the farm, and after consideration, it was thought best to
paint them, as over a decade had passed since they had been improved in that.
way. The number of square feet painted was nearly i6,000, and was painted.
two coats, and submitted to bid and given to the lowest bidder.
There has been great trouble this last year concerning water, and many.
times water was carried to slush the closets and keep everything in a.good.
sanitary condition, and after repairing, changing and doing everything that.
was practicable to the old wind mill without any particular good results, the-
The Supervisors' Proceedings, 1896 1r
committee has had an improved and well recommended areometor placed at
the reservoir and is now on sixty days trial and apparently giving satisfaction.
The whole cost of the these improvements is approximately over $i2oo.
COURT HOUSE.
The Court House at the present time is in extra good condition. In ad-
dition to \the work that was done by a special committee preceding the ap-
pointment of the present committee, in which was spent upwards of $6.000,.
we have to report that by order of Judge Forbes we have improved to the
amount of upwards of $5oo, which improvements consist of changes in various
ways. The council rooms under gallery have been put in better order by re-
furnishing and carpeting ; the rooms have been united by placing a doorin
partition between rooms, and a urinal has been placed in one of them for im-
mediate accommodations for the bar. The doors and windows have been re -
curtained and drapery added to each and in keeping with other improvements.
Seats in the court room have been changed to some extent, the jury box en-
larged and refurnished with improved chairs, several dozen new chairs for the
bar, several incandescent lights added in grand jury room as also in supervis-
ors' room and other places, new door outside boiler room. They have also.
placed a very much needed stair rail down the main stairway leading from
the court room, have also placed a fine stone walk fronting the building. on
Mill street, and made other improvements where necessary, so to -day Tomp-
kins County Court House ranks only second in this judicial district.
JAIL AND BUILDINGS.
The jail and also the resident part of the building are in good condition—
in fact we believe better than they have ever been, with the exception of a
few matters. By recommendation of the Grand Jury, changes have been made.
New steel floors have been laid in several of the cells to secure safety, and a.
part of the cage on the west side has been narrowed down and a corridor
placed on the north, intersecting the one on the west, thereby giving the
keeper or others a passageway on three sides without entering the cage. The
Grand Jury has recommended the grating of the top of the corridor, and by
resolution of the Board, the committee made the said improvement within
the last year. The committee has thought best to put a gas governor in
the building to regulate and control the flowof gas when high pressure is on,
and it is said on good authority that it will save 20 or 25 per cent. Storm doors,
cellar doors and other improvements have been made from time to time ag-
gregating nearly oo. In addition to this the resident part of the jail has been,
12 The Supervisors' Proceedings, 1896
improved to an extent of 7700 or Poo. The laundry has all been torn out and
improved, closets, bath room, and all conveniences have been put in. Papering
and painting is an improvement nearly throughout the building. A fine modern
veranda has been added to the building, improving it wonderfully. The
sanitary condition is good as far as known, although more sickness was re-
ported last winter in the jail than usual.
We desire to call your attention to the barn in the rear of the jail as to its
close proximity to church and endangering its walls.
CONDITION OF COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE.
The County Clerk's office is in good repair, and is now comparatively
modern. The old system of stoves has been removed, and the building
throughout has been arranged for steam heat, by pipeing and radiators. A
No. a Florida Heater has been placed on the west side of the building and a
neat structure built over it. It has heating capacity for double the amount of
room, which was done in consequence of anticipated changes and increased
room surface in the future. Additional book cases have been put in on both
floors to accommodate the needs of the office; the walls and ceiling have under-
gone a complete renovation and decorated modernly, all of the cases, desks
and furniture have been. refinished and chairs and other needed supplies
added. Modern improvements have been put in the building by placing
closets both in the Surrogate's and County Clerk's offices, or adjoining their
departments—a very much needed improvement. The roof has been recently
painted, although another coat should follow next year, as it was, found in a
partial state of rust and danger. Many other repairs and improvements have
been made of a lesser nature, so while the room is limited, and the office not
large enough for present necessity,yet the committee takes pleasure. in saying
to you that it is in good condition. The whole amount has exceeded in cost
upwards of $1.500.
On motion of Mr. Pearson the following was adopted :
Resolved, That all members addressing the chair shall arise and be recog-
nized by the chair.
On motion of Mr. Hones the Clerk was authorized to pro-
cure the necessary amount. of stationery.
On motion of Mr. Pearson it was ordered that .all resolu-

The report of L. H. Van Kirk, County Clerk, was pre-
sented and, on motion of Mr. Pinckney, was received and or-
dered printed with the reports.
The following report was presented by the committee on
erroneous assessments which, on motion of Mr. Boice, was..
adopted :
To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County :
Your committee upon erroneous assessments to which was referred the -
petitions of the following persons : Smith D. Stevens, Rev. M. Shaw, Thomas
McCarthy, C. W. Bumpus, M. N. Tompkins and others. They have been con-
sidered and give the following report :
In the petition of Smith D. Stevens we find he is assessed on a parcel of
land in both the towns of Danby and Caroline and after investigating find
said property is legally taxable in the town of Danby and recommend that the
assessment be stricken from the assessment roll of Caroline.
We find upon examination of the petition of the Rev.. M. Shaw that he
never appeared before the assessors of the town of Ulysses to claim his right
of exemption and further that he did not occupy said land, which was required
by law, and that the petition be denied.
In the case of Thomas McCarthy for erroneous assessments upon property
known as No. 38 Wheat Street in the city of Ithaca. This property has been
owned and assessed to John Conley who has paid tax on same from 1887 until.
present date. At the same time Thomas McCarthy was: assessed and paid tax
on the same amounting to fifty-five dollars and twenty-two cents ($55.22), we
the Supervisors' Proceedings, 1896 65
therefore recommend that the sum of forty-nine dollars and eighty-two cents
($49.82) be levied and collected upon taxable property of the city of Ithaca,
also that there be levied and collected upon the taxable property of the town
of Ithaca the sum of five dollars and forty cents ($5.4o) to reimburse said
Thomas McCarty.
In the petition of Charles Bumpus who claimed error in the assessment
roll of the town of Ulysses whereby the property of the said Charles Bumpus
was assessed to him and also to its former owner, Nathan Horton, the double
tax having been paid by said Charles Bumpus to the amount oftwenty-three
dollars and eighteen cents ($23. i8). We recommend that there be levied and
collected upon the taxable property of the town of Ulysses the amount claimed
to reimburse said Charles Bumpus.
In the petition of M. N. Tompkins claiming error in the assessment roll
of town of Newfield by which he is assessed upon Poo personal property in
addition to certain real estate, claiming to be a resident of Ithaca, and as
the Statute requires the personal estate to be assessed in the place where the
owner resides, we recommend that the assessment roll be corrected and that
this personal assessment be stricken from said assessment roll.
The petition of the Y. M. C. A. of the city of Ithaca requesting that the
assessment for the year 1895, which was thought to be erroneous, be stricken
from the roll and the tax amounting to $6o.55 as levied be stricken from said
tax roll. We recommend the prayer of the petition be granted and the said
amount be added to the City Budget.

To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County :
Pursuant to law, I make report of all fines imposed in the
various Courts of Record in said county since my last report, as

All the above fines have been paid, I am informed, by
Leroy H. Van Kirk, the County Clerk of Tompkins County,.
into court; and into the hands of the said County Clerk of
Tompkins County. No fines have been paid to me, nor has
anything been collected by me on forfeited recognizance.
All persons convicted in the Courts of Record of this.
County of violations of the Penal Code of this state, other than
the three above referred to, have been sentenced to imprison
mentand not fined.
On the zoth day of July, 1896, a judgment was obtained in
.favor of the People of the State of New York against Thomas:
F.' Moore, which same amounts to $509.50, and which same
was obtained Upon a forfeited recognizance—to wit, the under
taking given by Thomas F. Moore for the'appearance of Jerry
Welch, indicted for assault in the second degree. No partof
said judgment has been paid to myself as District Attorney, or
into court, as I am informed. On the loth day of August I
caused an execution to be issued to the Sheriff of Erie County,
in which said county the said Thomas F. Moore resided, and
thereafter the execution was returned to the County Clerk of
this county nulla bona. The undertaking, forfeited as afore-
said, was never presented to me at the time of its execution for.
approval. The said Thomas F. Moore is a contractor, and if
it appear that the amount can be'collected at .any time by sup-
plementary proceedings, steps will be taken to enforce the col-
lection thereof.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
