Mr. Harrington, chairman of the Appropriation Committee,
rendered the following report which, on motion, was received and
filed.
IMPROVEMENT ON COUNTY PROPERTY.
The Jail, both the resident part and Jail proper, is in fairly good condition.
Since last report improvements have been made. The old Bath Room that was
in a filthy condition has been made new and a much needed closet has been
put in on the first floor.
The dining room has' been improved by putting on a new steel ceiling
papered and painted throughout, —later the plaster in the halls, that were
loose fell from the ceilings with a crash, broke chandaliers and carried destruc-
tion with it. We were compelled to tear nearly all the ceiling off, and while
we were at it, we had the prisoners strip every bit of paper off the halls and
parlors and plastered nearly all' the ceilings in the halls, and a large space in
the parlors. We also had it repapered and painted and the chandeliers im-
proved and.radiators cleansed and bronzed. The prisoners prepared Lhe walls
by sanding and filling with plaster paris and we consider them extra good
now, — cupboards have been built in the kitchen, and mantlesshelves and other
improvements have been made, new pine ceiling has also been added to the
pantry.
Sewer connections have been made both from the Jail and Court House.
We were compelled on account of the pipes getting stripped to make the con-
nections,—while doing this we also connected with the Court House. We also
arranged to have the cess pool as an inlet for the water from the east side of
the roof of Court House.
COURT HOUSE.
The Court House has been improved to some considerable extent since we
met last, very much of the work being done by prisoners confined in the Jail,
as a part of the time, we have had some fine mechanics as well as general
16 The Supervisors' Proceedings, rgoo
workman, —for instance the work in this room, Supervisors quarters' has been
improved in various ways. The Committee has had changes made in- the
cases, as it indicates to you, by having then overhauled, boxes made and locks
put on, numbered and lettered for a period extending from 1890 -1912, ex -'
pressly for the business done by the Board each year, with all the audits, reports,
etc., that will be locked up and the key in hands of the Clerk. Heretofore they
were thrown back ]many tines after examination in any place and When wanted
again, you might as well be blindfolded. Last year every one of Ingersoll's
reports were gone, and many papers are not to be found.
This room has been renovated and cleansed throughout, nearly all the
woodwork has been painted including window sash, the floors have been oiled
and the desks cleaned and refinished nearly all by the prisoners. The doors a
either end of the hall have been taken off their hinges, the old varnish
scraped off, the bottom and tops planed that they might work easier, refinished,
put back, and now they are ornamental as well as useful.
The hall, has been painted throughout while the sign writer was here to
letter and number these boxes. We also had him letter and designate the name
of the various rooms. It makes it look more like a public place, and what it is
intended for.
The Court room has also been painted throughout, the floors refinished by
a coat of oil, and the seats that were broken and loosened have all been repaired
by the prisoners.
The Grand Jury room has been renovated and improved. The window
sash and all the wood work, where it was not grained, has been painted.
The old black and mournful Grand Jury chairs that are nearly loo years
old, have all been repainted-and improved wonderfully, as all the microbes
have been killed and covered up by such painting.
The County Clerk's office has been kept up to its usual condition. The old
paintton the doors has all been burnt off from the wood and all the wood work
connected to them has been repainted as well as the doors. All the sash have
also been repainted, as about eight years has elapsed since it was painted.
The old ragged matting on the stairs to the Surrogate's office has been re-
moved and replaced by new. This was done to save the loss of life for it was a
net work of rags, and more than one has been tripped up by it.
CLERK'S OFFICE.
The furniture has been repaired and fixed up in several cases. One new
desk was purchased for an additional copyist, which was very much needed in .
the office.
The Judge consulted the committee regarding a typewriter, as the old
Surrogate Clerk had removed his when he resigned his position, and the county
The .Supervisors' Proceedings, 1900 17
could not get along without one. We thought it advisable to purchase one and
the Surrogate acted accordingly. A hook and paper case has been added to
the office, which was required. Every case, drawer and shelf is now filled '
with books and _papers needed in the office, and more room needed, for there is
a continual increase.
Two years ago the Board purchased several' index books at a very- large
expense, to reindex and copy the ones that are now fast falling to pieces and
worn out. The old books and leaves have been repaired from time to time
until the limit has been reached. The Board has failed to stake any appropria-
tion to do this work, and the committee urges and recommends that the present
session shall go on record as staking an appropriation for this needed work.
ALMS HOUSE.
This ]hoard of Supervisors have received criticisms for negligence in not
providing fire escapes on the Altus House buildings, by the State Board of
Charities, several tines. The present committee has thought it advisable to
arrange souse plan of escape at least on the woodeir building occupied by old,
and in some cases, helpless women. They have provided an avenue of escape
in case of fire, from this same building, by building and erecting on the second
story, at full length, or over roo feet long, a projection extending out four feet
from the building, with a good and strong floor well supported, and a balus-
trade four feet high that will be of available service in case of disaster. On either
end of this uncovered veranda is a good strong pair of stairs, built to accommo-
date cripples, on account of the low users that were made intentionally for the
lame and old. From the building there are three exits, one at either end and
one in the center of .the building, so in case the inmates are cut off on the
inside, and they are also cut off from one end on the outside, they still have -
the middle and other end door to flee to and in case of fire can be saved if any
one is present to aid them. It has all been painted the same color and does
not attract any particular attention,
There has been added further fire protection to the plant six fire extin-
guishers of a new kind, and by purchasing a E dozen we get dozen rates. We
desire to call your attention to the report of the State Board of Charities.'
We were obliged to make a change with heater this last season for two
reasons. One was, that the boiler inspector was ordering changes as he said it
was not level, and the other (MC was, we were satisfied that when a furnace
would burn up $Soo.00 worth of coal -in one year something must be wrong
with it,— therefore we had it all -torn down and reset by experienced workmen
and they discovered the cause of its eating so much fuel which was, the space
each side of the boiler was 6 or 7 incites wide from the boiler and a large portion
LS The Supervisors' Proceedings, 1900
of the heat went to the upper side of the boiler. We shall watch it and see
if there is -not a falling off in fuel. Other work has been done which is done
annually such as kalsomining, painting and in order to keep the building in
good repair as well as in a good sanitary condition.
Mr. Harrington presented the following resolution on the death
of Supervisor Nicholas Pearson, which, on motion was adopted and
ordered printed .in the proceedings of this Board.
Carried.
WHEIt,yAS, Onr colleague and neighbor, NICHOLAS PSARSON, was removed
from this world in a shocking and deplorable manner by being suddenly cut
down and accidently killed by the - Lehigh Valley Railroad cars when he was
persuing his daily avocations, probably without warning, and without thought
of this great change, making it more impressive on our minds, of our future
demise,
Resolved, That a committee of three be selected from this Board, consist-
ing of \Vnm. H. Van Ostrand, Jesse Wilson and Francis Snow, whose duty shall
be to prepare an appropriate memoriam and resolutions of regard that will be
befitting to the occasion for the departed colleague, who has preceded us to his
eternal home.
Resolved, That not less than two pages beset apart of the published pro-
ceedings of this Board, for the purpose of inserting the memoriam and resolu-
tions, and that the committee he requested to secure a half tone cut of the late
Nicholas Pearson, that it may he printed upon one of these pages set apart for
this purpose.
Attorney D. M. Dean here appeared before the Board and made
a statement regarding the Ingersoll matter. _
By Mr. Snow :
WHEREAS, The counsel of the Board of Supervisors, in the case of the
County vs. the bondsmen of Charles Ingersoll, late defaulting County Treasurer,
has appeared before this body and stated that it might become desirable to
have said case tried before a referee, therefore be it
The Supervisors' Proceedings, 1900 19
Resolved, That if it shall hereafter appear to the committee of the Board
and the counsel having said case in charge, that trial before a referee is desira-
ble, that we approve such action and recommend that in such event the trial
be held in the Court House and open to the public.
On motion Board adjourned.

3n 21Zemoriant.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of The Board of Supervisors:
Your committee appointed to take suitable cognizance of the death of our
colleague, Nicholas Pearson, respectfully offer the following memorial and
resolutions :
On the 16th clay of July, 1900, the people of Tompkins County were
shocked to learn that Nicholas Pearson, a member of this Board, had been
struck and instantly killed by a locomotive on the Lehigh Valley railroad.
Born in this county, having passed all his life within its boundaries, proud
of its resources, its standing among the counties of the state ; ]raving been
formerly a supervisor of the Town and Village of Ithaca, it is fitting that we, his
colleagues, pay to his memory a just and appropriate tribute.
Nicholas Pearson was a man of kindly nature, genial companionship and
agreeable personality.
He was of strong party affiliation, yet recognized the fact that men are
appreciated more on account of their individual merits than for their political
convictions. Strenuous and determined in his advocacy of any cause which he
espoused, yet with bim no controversy left a bitter sting. With hint, feeling
ended with discussion. A man of independent thought -and action, he was not a
fierce partisan ; not a man of a single idea, but one who looked upon all quest-
ions of local, State and National importance, with a view that in his convic-
tions, appeared the greatest good to the greatest number.
While we would offer this tribute to his memory, we recognize that it is in
his own family that 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 the Inlet Valley Cemetery. But three days before he had been
a busy man of affairs following his daily pursuits.
Resolved, That in the death of Nicholas Pearson this Board has lost a val-
uable member and the 'Town of Ithaca an able representative..
Resolved, That we regret his untimely death, and extend our sincere
condolences to his family.
Resolved, That a copy of this memorial and of these resolutions be
engrossed and presented to the facile.

WiteasAs,- Three of the last five Treasurers of Tompkins County, who
immediately preceded the present incumbent, were defaulters, and
WHEREAS, The large experience thus afforded the Supervisors in their
endeavors to recover from their bondsmen, has led us to the conclusion that
the greatest difficulty is with those cases where the defaulter had held the office
more than one term in succession, thereby having a different personnel in the
bondsmen, thus rendering it difficult to locate the responsibility. Therefore be it
Resolved, That the Hon. E. C. Stewart, Senator -elect for the Both Senator-
ial District, and the Hon. Beim Conger, our Member of Assembly, be and are
hereby requested by this Board to use their hest endeavors to have the laws of

Sheriff. Be it further
Resolved, That the Clerk of this Board be instructed to send .a copy of this

The whole amount expended for the maintenance of the insti-
tution has been $4,566.87 of which amount $6go.00 were for im-
provements, leaving the suns of $3,876.87 for actual maintenance.
This is classified as follows as per accompanying vouchers. These
hills have been audited by the Superintendent, and drafts drawn on
the County Treasurer.

As was the case last year, more than one half of this class
should be charged to the year previous. Employes knowing it to
be safe, prefer that a part of their wages should retrain unpaid
until the end of the year. Only that that is paid out on voucher is
included in the yearly report.

The average cost of maintenance, although a slight increase
over that of last year, is within a reasonable limit considering the
still greater cost of all the necessary supplies required here and the
daily table fare given the inmates. This amount is :

sive, are for pork taken in bulk at the institution and have no

Sworn to before Inc this 24th day of November, 1900,
PAUL S. LIVERMORE, Notary Public.
It is proposed to refund $14,000 of such indebtedness on march 1, 190:, at
a rate of interest not exceeding 354%a.
The estimated interest on sinking fund which will accrue on or before
March r, 1901, is $6o. I therefore reconmiend that there be levied and assessed
upon the taxable property of the town of Enfield, the sum of 5845.82 for
principal and interest, as follows :

ITHACA.
To the hoard of Supervisors of the Count' of Tompkins
The undersigned Commissioners of the Town of Ithaca, hav-
ing in charge the sinking fund maintained for the purpose of
extinguishing the bonds of said town issued in aid of the construc-
tion of the Geneva and Ithaca Railroad, beg leave to submit their
annual report as follows :
174 The Sn e visors' Proceedings, 1900
The original issue of said ponds, dated October 1, 1871,
due October 1, 1go1, was S.ioo,000 00
Deduct amount paid and cancelled 15,000 00
Balanceoutstanding at date of last report 85,000 00.
The last preceding report of the undersigned shows that at its
date $9,500 4 per cent U. S. bonds of 1925 were held in the sinking
fund. These were bought at -a premium of a fraction over 2O,per
cent. The rise in value of these bonds was so great that the under-
signed deemed it for the advantage of the fund to sell them and
purchase securities yielding a higher rate of interest. Accordingly
they were sold in December at 134111, yielding a net profit of
4521.97, completely extinguishing the premium account of
2,248. 16 included in our last statement and yielding $325.74 to in,
crease the fund. Because of the gain thus secured a less sum than
formerly will be required to make the last payment due on the afore-
said bonds. We have therefore cancelled twenty thousand ($20,000)
dollars of the bonds of the Town of Ithaca held in the sinking
fund.
Deduct that sum from the amount previously reported
as outstanditng-2o,000 00
Leaves amount now outstanding 65,000 00
The amount of interest at 7 per cent. per annum falling due on
above mentioned bonds in the year 1901 is as follows :
April 1 2,275 00
October 1 2,275 00
Total 4,55 00
They would therefore request that the stun of forty -five hun-
dred and fifty ($4,55o) dollars be levied and assessed upon the tax-
able property of the Town • and City of Ithaca in the following pro-
portions, viz : Seven hundred and thirty -two -'b ($732.55) 011 said
The Supervisors' Proceedings, rgoo 175
Town of Ithaca and thirty -eight hundred and seventeen -r'ti$ on said
City of Ithaca to pay the interest on said bonds for the year 1901.
The amount of the sinking fund maintained for the payment of
said bonds at their maturity is sixty -one thousand eight hundred
and ninety -two A,- dollars, which is invested as follows :
Burt County, Nebraska, bonds 6 per cent 4, 00
Hermann Township, Minnesota, bonds 6 per cent.6,000 0o
Jennings Township, Ohio, bonds 6 per cent 3,5 co
Berrien County, Michigan, bonds 5 per cent. _3,000 00

Adelbert Holden, mortgage 200 00
Cash in Ithaca Savings Bank, 3 per cent.1,467 98
Cash in First National Bank ____1 ,537 00
561,892 48
The deposit in the First National Bank, made on the 9th inst:,
will'be transferred to the Savings Bank on the 1st of December.
The balance due on the $65,000 outstanding of said bonds at
this date, exclusive of sinking fund, is $3,Ioi v , a reduction since
our Last report of $4,8261; %.
Should the price of municipal bonds be maintained at present
rates, during the coming year those in the sinking fund are likely
to yield a surplus which at our final accounting October 1, 1901, will
be paid over to the Town and City in the proportion due them
respectively.
176 The Supervisors' Proceedings, 1900
We also submit herewith the statements of cash premium and
sinking fund accounts for preceding year and include the same
as part of this report.
