To the Honorable Board of Supervisors: In accordance with a resolution offered by Mr. Hine in December, Igor, that a committee be apperinted of which the Chairman shall be a member, to visit the County Farm at least four times during the year and report to the Boktrcl the condition prevailing, the undersigned com- mittee made a visit to the County House on February 25th, 1902. 1\e arrived unexpectedly, finding the keeper absent, and. were shown through the buildings by the keeper's son. Found cellars, boiler room, sitting and dining rooms and hospital clean and well heated. The laundry and north sleeping roosts for men were not as .clean and well kept as the other rooms. We examined the beds and bedding and found then clean and comfortable. The inmates generally looked clean and comfortably clothed. We arrived at the County House so late that extra prepara- tions could not have been made for the dinner of the inmates. We were informed that breakfast is served rtt 8:3o. Dinner was served at 2:30, when they were given good, wholesome boiled potatoes, pork and cabbage, gravy, bread, tea and fried cakes. We heard no compliaint 're- garding poor or insufficient food. The Supervisors' Proceedings. "53 The farm stock looked well, horse and cow ;tables well cleaned, and the barns were in as good condition as those found on the average farm. The committee would most respectfully make the following recom- mendations; First. Better water supply. There were less than six inches of water • in the tanks on top of building, absolutely no protection in case of fire, ,and a very insufficient quantity for domestic purposes. It is often neces- sary to carry water to the boiler, so that steam can be generated for heat- ing purposes. Second. _Much complaint %vas made because the cvinrl blew in the _South door of the hospital, making the room very cold at times and taus= ing the necessity of a storm door. '1'1hird. Found in the barn only six cows, three in milk. This farm should carry more milk cows, since the food derived therefrom would be of so notch value, and when a cow failed to be profitable as a milk pro- ducer, site could be killed and the daily rations of the inmates could oft- ener he changed from salt meat to fresh meats. In conclusion, wit.11 the exception 0f the recommendations contained in this report, the County House.seecued to be well superintended. On July 3d, 1902, the undersigned committee again made an unex- pected visit to the County House. We found tic County Farm under as gond a state of cultivation as was possible, owing to the prevailing rainy season, and in fact much better condition than prevailed on the average farm. The.garden and all Hoed crops were looking exceptionally well. There were good pros- pects for an average wheat, oat and hay crop. The committee's atten- tion was called to the great need of both line and intersecting fences, and would earnestly recommend that the Superintendent of, the Poor be authorized to purchase at least 400 rods or as touch thereof as is ttecessary of wire fencing to be used upon the County Farni. The attention of the committee was called to the neglected and deso- late condition of the plot used for burial purposes on the County Farm. Weeds and bushes are allowed to grow without stint or hindrance over 0 f , ' The Supervisors' Proceedings: the graves and no marker - of any kind was observed over any grave. Your committee would earnestly recommend that a substantial wire fence,be erected around the burying ground and that a cheap marker be hereafter erected over the grave .of each pauper who dies in the County House, and that the grave yard be cleaned up and hereafter kept in a neat and presentable condition. All of which is respectfully submitted. J. B. WILSON, F. A. SNOW. Air. Spring.

They are now oir- derly and clean. The corridors, store rooms, and dormitories are clean,. the beds and linen clean, and the beds well made. The buildings are free from unpleasant odors, with the one exception, of the first floor hospital room for men. The presence of an unclean, idiotic patient, and another patient who is bed ridden, renders it diffi- ° cult to keep the air :sweet. • Nine patients are too many for the size of' the room. In the second floor' hospital room, •where=accommodation is provided for six patients, one man in an advanced stage of consumption. The Supervisors' Proceedings. 193 is being cared for. This arrangement is unwise, and a menace to the other patients. The physician is much exercised at this lack of room for the isolation of consumptives and unclean cases. Your inspector recommends the erection of a small detached frame building where such cases may be isolated. The large day rooms for both men and women permit a thorough airing of the general wards. The food observed was good and convers- ation with a number of inmates revealed no complaints. At the time of the inspection the water tanks in the attic were empty, there being no water for either flushing or fire purposes. The laundering during the morning had drained the two small tanks, which are filled by a windmill pump which is necessarily. fickle, and further= • more is not in good repair. The matter of• installing a steam pump was referred to a committee, the members of which found the tanks empty upon the occasion of a visit in April. As yet nothing has been done and the lives and comfort of the inmates are in constant jeopardy. This necessity for a sure menas of raising water to the tanks was urged in the last report of inspection. The needs are as follows: r. A steam pump for raising water from the catch reservoir to the tanks. 2. Small detached frame building for isolation pavilion. 3° A sieam power laundry. 4. Shower baths. 5. A flush water closet upon the main floor for ,the use of the women and one in the isolation ward of th'e women's. " 6. Removal of the horse barn to the farm group. Its present location menaces the safety and comfort of the male inmates. 7. Salary for the matron. (Signed) CYRUS CLARK LATROP. Inspector. June 23, I902. 194 The Supervisors' Proceedings. TOMPKINS COUOTY FAIL. Located at Ithaca, inspected August 12, 1902. The number of inmates on the day of inspection females, i ; classified as. follows : anales, 16;. Serving sentence, 9; held for the grand jury, _4; held for ex- amination, 1 ; sentenced to the Monroe County Penitentiary, awaiting transportation, 2 ; sentenced to County Poorhouse, r. In this County the male prisoners serving sentence are employed .on the highways outside of the City of Ithaca, in charge of a Deputy Sheriff. The Town where the highway is situated furnishes the transportation. The men are not shackled or chained; there has been only one escape. A very considerable amount of highway improve- ment has been accomplished. The men have done good work, and the employment of prisoners in this way has given satisfactory re-. sults. Some men who had never learned to work formed the habit and found they were able to do so while in prison, and after dis- charged have engaged in honest labor. The office of Sheriff in this County is a fee office. The usual al- lowance for board is $3.00 per week. The Sheriff serves three meals to the working men and two to the others. ti The jail consists of a brick building which was •remodeled in 1885. The internal arrangement is on the "cage" plan. It is heated by steam and is supposed to be fireproof. There arc five double cells and four single cells on the first floor a bath room on the first floor' for men and one on the upper floor for women ; and closets in ,all the cells. The lower part -of the jail is very dark and gloomy. There is no separate place for juveniles or civil prisoners. There are two cells upstairs on one side used for desperate criminals, and two small cells, 5x8 feet, on the other side for women. All the other prisoners are confined in the lower cells opening into a central "pit" and are without separation or classifica- tion. - -111 Sieperuisors' Proceedings. .195 On the clay of inspection there was one woman confined ,inthe o wmen's department, and one man, considered a desperate criminal, occupying the other side of the. second floor, leaving only the lower cells for the remaining prisoners. The prisoners serving sentence and those awaiting examination and trial were all kept together in this common corridor. The jail was found in .good condition. This jail does not contain a sufficient number of departments for the proper classification of its inmates, and is otherwise inade. quate for the needs of the county. The Supervisors should be strong- ly urged to enlarge this jail by the construction of an annex or other addition, giving new quarters for juveniles and civil prisoners, and for women, retaining the present jail: for the care of other classes of male prisoners. At present it is practically impossible for the Sheriff to comply, with the law requiring the classification of jail in» mates. The interior should be remodeled so as to give to the jail rnore light and ventilation. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE M'LAUGHLIN, Secretary. 196 The Supervisor?
