To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County:
Your Committee on Erroneous Assessments to which was referred the peti-
tions of the following persons, viz : Wm: Bannette's estate, Munson Potter,
Dudley Cook and others, have considered them and report as follows :
In the petitions of Win. Bannette's estate and Munson Potter of Enfield,
we find from the certificate of the assessors of said Town, that through a cler -.
ical error in each case, the Bannette estate in 1387, paid an excessive tax
amounting to three and f dollars ($3 — ) and that Munson Potter in 1367,
paid an excessive tax amounting to one dollar and -'= ($1.2o).
The Su ervisars' Proceedings, r8g8 65
We therefore recommend that Barnette estate be reimbursed in the suns of
three and dollars ($3a And Munson Potter be reimbursed in the sum
of (51.20), and that the amounts be levied upon and collected front the taxable
property of the Town of Enfield.
In the petitions of John P. Smith of the City of .1thaca, we have examined
the assessment rolls of the city and advise the petition be not granted.
Upon exaniination of the petition of Dudley Cook, who pays tax upon pro -
perty on East Buffalo street in the City of Ithaca, we find from the certificate
of the assessors that this property was properly assessed at $r,Soo, but in copy
ing an error crept in, by which Mr. Cook was compelled to pay a tax on this
property at a valuation of 53,600. We therefore recommend that Dudley Cook
be reimbursed in the sum of 513.86, and that this antount be levied upon and
collected from the taxable property of the City of Ithaca.
In our investigation of the petition of Abel Cooper of the Town of New-
field, we find from the certificate of the assessors that Mr. Cooper was duly
notified to appear of the day fixed by law for reviewing the assessment roll,
and there make his application for relief. It appears that this he failed to do.
We therefore recommend that this petition be not granted.
In examining, the petition of Sarah Deming of No. 9 East Green street in
the City of Ithaca, we find from the certificate of the assessors that she paid an •
erroneous tax amounting • to 546.20. We therefore recommend that Sarah
Deming be reimbursed in the suns of 546.2o. And this amount he levied upon
and collected from the taxable property of the City of Ithaca.
In the numerous other petitions coining into our hands we find this Board
has no jurisdiction.

To The Board of Supervisors
The committee appointed to consider and report on the Money System of
Taxation for the repair of highways, would respectfully offer the following pre-
amble and resolution :
WHEREAS, The Legislature of the State has recently enacted a law grant-
ing to each Town of the State which adopts the Money System of Taxation for
working and repairing its highways, a sum of money equal to 25 per cent. of
the amount raised by such Town the previous year for the repair of its high -
ways, therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the Board of - Supervisors do recommend the Moniey
System of Taxation for the .repair of highways, and urge its adoption by the

WHEREAS, The existing election laws, requiring that the election districts.
of the State shall be so constituted as not 'to contain more than four hundred.
The Supervisors' Proceeding's, 1898 69
voters as shown by the registry of each district, entail upon towns and m lici-
paities where personal registration is not required, in many instances, an un-
necessary expense from the fact that a large percentage of the voters whose
names appear on the registry in districts where personal registration is not •
required, do not vote, thus making the number of election districts as now
required by law, unnecessary, therefore,
Resolved, That the Honorable' Theron Johnson, Member of Assembly for
the County of Tompkins, and the Honorable Chas. L. Willis, State Senator for
the 4ot11 Senatorial District, he and they are hereby requested to use their
influence in favor of the enactment of a law to the effect that those towns and
municipalities of the State where personal registration is not required, shall be
so redistricted as not to contain more than 400 voters to each election district
as shown by the actual vote cast in each district, at either preceding
gubernatorial or presidential election.
On motion of Mr. Pearson, the same declared adopted.

The number of acres under cultivations has been largely in excess of that of
former years, owing to the condition of the pasture lauds, which had "died
out" and had become'alnnost worthless for that purpose. This deficiency has
been supplied by a system of soilage, which although requiring a 'greater
amount of laboi, is a decided improvement over the old method of pasturing.
The amount of land under the plow, and the crops raised is as follows :
For Soilage —four acres of oats and peas ; two acres of sweet corn ; five
acres of millet.
FARM CROPS.

Pursuant to law, I snake report of all fines. imposed in the var-
ions courts of record in said county since my last report, as follows :
126 The Supervisors' Proceedings, 1898
All persons convicted of crime have been sentenced to imprison-
ment .with the exception of Fred H. Green, who, in March, was
convicted of violating section 31 of the Liquor Tax Law and a fine
of one hundred dollars was imposed. The defendant has tot paid
the fine at the present time. He is absent from the county and has
no property which can be. reached, and, by the terms of the
judgment inflicted by the County Court, he could not be imprisoned.
In the event of his ever returning to the county where a fine can be
collected, pursuant to law, if the same is collectable, the proper steps
will be taken.
No fines in any other cases have been imposed during the past
year for the reason, as already suggested, all punishments inflicted

All of which is respectfully submitted.
