DR. JOHN E. BEERS.
5n Qnemoriarn.
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.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON ERRONEOUS ASSESS-
MENTS.
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.

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:

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.

COMMTT'I'1 -E ON TREASURER'S ACCOUNTS.
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.
V., at the -close of business, November 16, 1901, to the credit of Charles M.
Benjamin as Treasurer of Tompkins County, was two thousand, two hundred
eighte' n 49 -100 dollars, $2,218.49.
B. L. 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.
