Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Board of Supet visors: No words of merit that we may utter, can avert the sorrow caused by the remorseless hand of death; words of sympathy of ours. can hardly alleviate the afflictions of his relatives; but it is a privilege for ourselves and a duty that we owe to the memory of the late Doctor John E. Beers, to render to him an appropriate tribute of our respect and esteem. For twenty years he had represented his Town -on this Board; several times he has been its Chairman, and once he had represented the County in the State Legislature, and in all his official acts, no whisper derogatory to his motives was ever breathed. We knew hits as a just and generous man, and these attributes were part of his nature. A man of highest character and integrity, his life has been his greatest eulogy, and at his death, the community in which Ice lived and wrought so well, pay to his memory that greatest need of praise — "a good man has departed." While most of us had acquaintance with him derived from our official intercourse, there was an inner side to his nature known to those who best, knew him as physician, counsellor and friend, by whom his name will be held in grateful remembrance. Resolved, That while we condole with his family in their loss, we also rejoice witlrthent, that lie has leftbehind him the unsullied record of a well spent life. Resolved, That a copy of this •memorial be engrossed and presented to the family of the deceased, and also printed in the Proceedings of this Board. GEORGE W. FROST. WM. H. BAKER. J. H.

To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County: Your Committee on Erroneous Assessments after having investigated all'elaims referred to such committee 'respectfully report as follows: we find from the certificate of -the assessor of the City of. Ithaca that Lucilla B. Lobdell paid an erroneous tax in the year 1900 amounting to 11.04. We therefore recommend that Lucilla B. Lobdell be reimbursed in the sum of $11.04, and that this autmint be levied and collected from the taxable property of the City of Ithaca. 172 The Super visors' Proceedings We further, find that Edward Wood, of the Town of Ulysses, in the year. 1900, paid.a tax of $11.52 erroneously assessed against the personal property of Martha Wood, a non - resident of this County and State. We therefore recommend that there be levied and collected from the taxable property of the Town of Ulysses, the sum of 511.52 to reimburse Edward Wood. We also find that 13. O. Wakeman. of Trumansburg, N. V., in the year 1900; paid a tax of $11.90 erroneously assessed against the real property of the said B. O. Wakeman. We therefore recommend that there be levied and collected from the taxable property of the Town of Ulysses the sum of $11.90 to reimburse the said 13. O. Wakeman. All hf the above claims for reimbursement were accompanied by the certificates of the assessors alleging the assessments to be erroneous. They were likewise accompanied by receipts proving that the amounts claimed were actually paid to the collectors. 11. M. HAGIN. EUGENE TERRY. JOHN J. HANSHAW. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SUPERINTENDENT OF THE POOR. 1900 -1901 To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County: Your Committee on "Accounts of the Superintendent of the Poor" respectfully presents the following report: Your Committee has given a thorough examination, item by item, of all the bills audited by the Superintendent and pre - scnted before it by him in coroboration of accounts and orders issued, and your Committee finds that the amount of such bills, the amount expended by orders ,upon the County Treas- urer, and the footings of the hccounts correspond, with,the exception of $8.83, t value of farm produce applied on the bill of Dr. Chase, (Almshouse physician.) • 77ee .Supervisors' Proceedings 193 The orders classified as follows show that there has been expended: For the support of the County poor 990 70 For improvements 1,001 36 For out -door relief 626 21 For services of Overseers 58 67 For transportation 18 40 2,695 34 For support of the poor by towns: Ithaca (city)1,796 80 Ithaca (town)254 25 - Lansing 102 00 Dryden 250 59 Groton •223 20 Danby 314 85 Newfield 276 68 Enfield 100 71 Caroline 268 92 Ulysses 93.16 3,681 16 Total 6,376 50 Appropriation, session 1900 6,103 18 Leaving a deficiency of 273 32 Your committee respectfully -recommends that there be raised for the support of the poor as follows: To cover deficiency 273 32 For the support of the poor for the year ending Nov. 15th, 1902, as per estimate of. the Super- intendent of the Poor 5,700 00 Making total appropriation 5,973 32 Less amounts of errata in hills, to he deposited with County 'treasurer by Superintendent 31 00 And less value of produce from County farm applied in reduction of Dr. Chase's bill 8 S3 39 83, Amount of appropr iaticu to he raised by tax 5,933 94 174 The .Supervisors' Proceedings Your Honorable Body has undoubtedly observed by the report of the Superintendent of the Poor heretofore presented to s-ou, that the amount expended under the .head of improve- ments is unexpectedly.large; this is explained by the fact that under this head have been grouped bills for lumber, hardware and black - smithing, bills for seeds and plants for field, garden and yard, and repairs in various ways on buildings and apper- tenances of the farm. You have probably also noticed that the - average expense of maintenance in the Almshouse per capita per week for the last year as per the report is $1.50 -9 -5 while the report of the Superintendent last year made such average $1.17 -2; this in- crease of .32 7 -5 is largely an apparent increase instead of actual, from the fact that n bills aggregating a large amount, which were contracted previous to the present Super- intendcnt's incumbency of the office and which have been Paid by him, have made his expenses greater than normal. Your Committee while examining the bills paid by the Superintendent has found that nianv accounts have been al- lowed to run eleven or twelve, or more months,, before bills have been presented for payment, so that when the reports, accounts and vouchers of the Superintendent•have been pre- sented to the Board or its committee for examination, there has been no approximately exact information gii'en or ob- tained, relative to the aggregate amount of accounts outstand- ing against the county.

To the Committee on County Treasurers Accounts : ITHAcA, N. Y., December 11, 1901. This is to certify that the balance in First National ]lank, of Ithaca, N.

JOHNSON, Bookkeeper, First National Bank. According to the above certificate from the First National Bank there is in said Bank the sum of' six dollars more than is shown by the report of the Treasurer, which is explained by the faet that one cheek given by said Treasurer for the sump of six ($6) dollars, had not been presented for payment when the report of the Treasurer was made.
