Dixon, offer the following me- morial resolution : On the 6th day of August, 1904, the people of Tompkins County were shocked to learn of the unexpected death of George J. Dixon, a member of this Board. Born in this County, having passed all his life within its TIze Supervisors' Proceedings, 19o¢ 9 boundaries, proud of its resources and standing in the counties of this State, it is fitting that we, the Board of Supervisors,,pay to his memory a just and appropriate tribute. While we offer this tribute to his memory and while we feel his loss in this body, we feel that in his own home and family his true worth is best known. There is his most enduring monument. A large concourse of friends followed his remains to their final resting place in Lake View Cemetery. Resolved, That in the death of George J. Dixon this Board has lost a valuable member and the City of Ithaca an able representative. Resolved, That we regret his unexpected and untimely death and ex- tend our sincere sympathy to his family. Resolved, That a copy of this memorial be engrossed and presented to the family. CHAS. SPRIGG, . JAMES H. HINE, R. N. MOUNT, Committee. On motion the resolutions were adopted and ordered printed in the minutes. Mr. Lumbard, a representative of an Acetylene Company, was given the privilege of the floor, and addressed the Board about installing a plant at the County Alms House. The Clerk read the following report of the committee on a new County Building : To the Board of Supervisors and Citizens of Tompkins County: Your committee appointed to investigate and report as to the advisa- bility of the erection of a new county building for the County of Tompkins, respectfully submit the following : It was learned that.the cities of Towanda, Pennsylvania and Binghamton, N.•Y., had recently erected buildings for their respective counties, the ar- rangement and equipment of which seem to meet the needs and requirements which would be necessary for the proposed building of our own county, and a visit of inspection was accordingly had to the former city on the 2nd day of August, 1904, and to the latter on the 16th day of August, 1904. Your committee was accorded much courtesy by the officials of these counties and takes this opportunity of expressing its thanks to such officials for the 10 The Supervisors' Proceedings, 1994 willingness to aid it with all the information and data possible to enable it to intelligently report to this Board. In Towanda we found an imposing structure, the pride of the county, with a splendid arrangement of offices for the convenience of the officials and public generally. It appears, however, that by reason of the fact that more office room is needed in the counties of our sister state than our own, that this building was considerable larger than this county demands, and the cost of construction of a similar building would be greatly in excess of the amount that your committee has thought best to reconrnrend be appro- priated for the construction of a suitable building here. At Binghamton we found a county building that was likewise the pride and admiration of all and one which is most admirably adapted to the needs of the county. This structure is fireproof and. is equipped with the mos; modern furniture. The arrangements for ventilation and lighting are all that could be desired. Both buildings herein referred to were erected in the face of consider- able well meant opposition from representative taxpayers and citizens gen- erally, but in both instances we learned, that in most cases those who op- posed the construction of these buildings, so elaborate and complete in character, were now counted among those most enthusiastic in their praise, and no consideration would induce them to return to buildings less modern in construction and equipment. In short, we found in each instance, that the citizens were well satisfied and proud of their county buildings. Therefore, having in mind the declarations of all recent grand juries that have been in session in this county, and the judgment of our esteemed judges holding sessions here, the former condemning in no uncertain terms the condition of our court house, and the later urging the erection of a new county building at an early date, and coupling with all this our own observation gained from a close personal investigation, your committee is unanimous in the belief that a new county building which will contain the court rooms and all other county offices should be erected in Tompkins County at once. We view with increasing alarm the irreparable loss that would follow a fire in our present county clerk's office and hereby warn the people of this county of the great danger existing to our public records on account of fire, and urge them to speedily adopt such measures as will effectually and for- ever avert a calamity of this character. Your committee believes that such a building should be erected as is in keeping with the growth and importance of the county, and in harmony with the advance of our city as an educational center and one that would be the pride and inspiration of our citizens. The Supervisors' Proceedings 19o¢ r r We, therefore, respectfully recommend : First : That the best interests of the county imperatively demand the erection of a new county building that shall contain all the court rooms and offices for the several officials of this county. Second : That a sum not to exceed two hundred thousand dollars is necessary for the construction of a proper fire proof building with complete equipment. Third : That the county issue bonds for the sum of $200,000 to be numbered from r to 25 inclusive, each bond to be in an amount of $S000, and one bond to be payable annually with interest until the whole series is fully paid and satisfied. Fourth : That the question •as to whether this county shall appropri- ate such sum of two hundred thousand dollars for the purpose above indi- cated and bonds be issued as above described, be submitted to the voters of this county at the next general election to be held November Sth, 1904. Fifth : That a committe of three be appointed whose duty it shall be to properly prepare such question for submission to the voters of this county at the next general election.

On request of Mr. Sprigg, chairman of the committee on the installation of a steam laundry at the County Alms Souse, the report of the committee was deferred until the regular session of the Board. By Mr. Fairbanks : Resolved, That the Board of Supervisors through their proper com- mittee, snake a contract with some Acetylene Gas Company for the installa- tion of a lighting plant at the County Alms House at a price not to exceed $600.00, and that a committee of three be appointed to purchase such plant. 12 The Supervisors' Proceedings, r90 t On motion of Dr. Gallagher the same was adopted. The Chairman appointed as such committee Messrs. Fair- banks, Thompson and Miller. By Mr. Hine : WHEREAS, The reports of the Superintendent of the Poor for several years have impressed the Board that the County Farm is operated at a serious financial loss to the County, therefore, Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed whose duty it shall be.to thoroughly investigate the financial condition of said county farm for the purpose of ascertaining if the farm is operated at a loss or profit, and this committee be instructed to report .early in our regular session in November, 1904. On motion of Dr. Gallagher, the same was 'adopted. The Chairman named as such committee Messrs. Gallagher, Hagin and Corbin.

Dear Sir:—We beg to acknowledge the receipt of yours of November 26th in which you state that the Board of Supervisors of your County has passed a resolution directing you to refuse to receive I-Iighway Manuals we shipped you upon the order of Mr. Charles H. Betts. \Ve beg to say in regard to the matter that our connection with it is simply that of a printer, and of course we have nothing to do with any action of your Board of Supervisors. We shall refer your letter to Mr. Betts who will, no doubt, communicate with you. We may say, However, that it strikes us the action taken by your Board of Supervisors is probably ill-advised ; and as the law is clear, we fail to per- ceive what authority a Board of Supervisors or any other Board has to direct you to refuse to obey a mandate of the Legislature.. However, as stated, we shall refer the matter to Mr. Betts who will probably write you. • Yours very truly, THE ROCHESTER HERALD CO., \VM. G. DAVID, Treas.

Fish we find that a certain tract of land containing one hundred and forty-three acres is now assessed to said Wilber G. Fish in the Town of Ithaca, also in the Town of Danby. The dwelling honse being on land situated in the Town of Ithaca. We recommend that the said land be stricken from the assessment roll of the Town of Danby. We find from the certificate of School Dist. No. 1 of Dryden which certificate is signed by the Trustee thereof and is supported by the Col- lector's affidavit that the school tax of $S.92 for the years 1901 and 1902, and the school tax of $S.92 for the years 1902 and 1903 on property in said Town of Dryden and consisting of 190 acres and assessed to Lyman Ellis has not . been paid, although diligent and proper effort has been made to enforce The Supervisors' Proceedings, 19°1 119 collection. Your committee would, therefore, recommend that the sum of $17.84 he levied and collected from the taxable property of the County of Tompkins and paid to the collector of said school district on account of unpaid school tax of said district, and that the sum so paid be levied upon the land upon which the saute were imposed, with seven per centum in addition thereto as provided by statute. We find upon the affidavit of Collector of School District, No. ro of the Towns of Groton and Dryden that the school tax of $4.85 on property assessed to Isaac Miller, also in School District, No. 2, in the Town of Newfield that the school tax of $r1.S1 on property assessed Geo. Protts' Estate also in School District, No. 20, in the Town of Groton and Dryden: Dryden on property assessed to Beardsley Estate $ 64, on property assessed to W.

Also iu School District, No. 12, in the Town of Dryden on property assessed to Sylvester Odell $.65 on property assessed to Lyman Ellis $4.75• Also on property assessed to Wilcox Estate $.18 has not been paid although diligent and proper effort has been made to enforce collection. Your committee would, therefore recommend that the sums above men- tioned be levied upon and collected from the taxable property of the County of Tompkins and paid to the Collectors of the above mentioned school dis- tricts on account of unpaid school tax of said districts ; and ,,that the sums so paid be levied upon the lands upon which the sums were imposed with seven per centum in addition thereto as provided by statute. We also find from the certificate of the Collector of the Town of Ulysses supported by statement of Elihu Stilwell, Assessor, that a tax of $3.12 paid by Mrs. McCracken was erroneously assessed and should have been exempt. We, therefore, recommend that the said Mrs. McCracken of said town be reimbursed on account of such paynient so made by her and that there be levied and collected from the taxable property of said town the sum of $3.12 for such purpose. We find from the certificate of the collector of the Town of Enfield, that Mr. John Grey of said town was erroneously assessed $19.59 in the year 1903 which was paid by him on real estate. We therefore recommend that the said John Grey he reimbursed in the sum of $19.89 and that this amount be levied and collected from the taxable property of said Town of Enfield. We find from the certificate from School District, No. 9 of the Town of 120 The Supervisors' Proceedings, '90¢ Ithaca and Enfield and such certificate is signed by the trustee and collector of said district, that the tax $6.6o being for school tax on $2000.00 Per- sonal Tax assessed to Frances Marshall, guardian for Norma Harvey for the year 1903, and $3.6o for the year 1904 ; $3.00 also on 6o acres of land in the Town of Newfield, assessed to H. \V. Bower in School District, No. 21, amount of unpaid tax $2.10 in Newfield and $6.6o in Ithaca and Enfield. Your committee would therefore recommend the sums above mentioned be levied upon and collected from the taxable property of the County of Tompkins and paid to the collectors of the above mentioned school dis- tricts on account of unpaid school taxes and that the sums so paid be levied upon the land and property upon which the salve are imposed with seven per centum in addition thereto, as provided by statute.

DAVID BOWER. [I,. S.] Sworn to before me this 28th day of November, 1904. EUGENE TERRY, Notary Public. TOMPKINS COUNTY JAIL. Located al Ithaca. Inspected 6y the Secretary November 18, 1904. The number of inmates on the day of inspection was four, all men. Three of these were serving sentence, and one await- ing transportation to a State institution. The highest number of inmates in this jail at any one time during the past year was 17 ; the average has been about to ; and the lowest 4. There has been no considerable change in this jail since the last inspection. The criticisms made in the last report are still applicable. The windows are small, and the cells are dark and gloomy. The jail needs more sunlight. There are very few female inmates. No woman has been sentenced to this jail in five years. Occasionally a woman is committed temporarily from the city police courts. Prisoners who work are served three meals a day, and the others two. They are furnished with plenty of good reading in the line of magazines and daily papers. Improvements : Electric .lights have been installed in the jail ; the entire interior and exterior has been repainted. The Supervisors' Proceedings, /90¢ 201 The jail was found clean, and in good sanitary condition. There are closets in each cell, and a stationary wash basin in each corridor. The beds consist of woolen blankets on wire springs. New men get clean blankets. Religious services are held regularly. The office of sheriff is a fee office, and the Supervisors allow $3.00 a week for board .of prisoners. Employment : The prisoners work on the highways, mostly • in the township of Ithaca. This township constitutes a fringe surrounding the City of Ithaca. This township is in the center of the county ; all the other towns bordering upon it. Some- times the work of prisoners is extended into the surrounding towns. This work has now been continued for several years, and has sensibly improved the highways leading from the sur- rounding towns to the county seat. The number working varies from three to nine. They are in charge of a deputy, who also acts as foreman under the general direction of the Commissioner of Highways. This work is done without expense to the towns. The men do good work. Last year the number of day's work was 1,330. This year the number of days has been about the same. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE McLAUGHLIN, Secretary. November 18, 1904..
