If you will indicate on the map the changes which the supervisors desire in the map to be submitted to the legislature showing the roads to be improved in Tomplcins County, 1 will give them most careful and thorough consideration in the preparation of the map which I am to present. Furthermore, the law provides that the legis- lature itself may make such changes as it deems necessary 'or proper and I have no doubt that the map will be in the hands of a legislative committee during a considerable portion of the session and subject to any changes which may be desired and which your representative in the legislature will then 'have an opportunity to make if it does not then meet with your wishes. Under these circumstances, I do not think it will be necessary for you to come to Albany, but suggest that you prepare the map showing all the roads desired and certify that it is the map adopted and forward it to me. Very truly yours, d -IENRY A. VAN ALSTYN'E, State Engineer and Surveyor. On motion the Board adjourned. AFTERNOON SESSION. Bolt call. Quorum present.

On motion of Mr. Parker the following letter was ordered printed in the proceedings: ITHACA, December 17, t906. Mr. Charles Beach, Representing Good Roads Committee, of Tompkins County. Dear Mr. Beach: — In view of your suggestion that it would be better ,policy for the County of Tompkins should the State not advertise for bids for the construction of more roads in Tompkins County until the County has learned from experience how successful is the policy now in vogue of construction by the county, and in view- of the C 128 The - Supervisors' Proceedings. suggestion rnadebv one .ortwo Super. isor —that they dill not feel it. equitable that the construction of the proposed Cayuga'•HeightsHanshata' 'Co'rnei; road should precede that of some of'the roads already petitioned for, proposals for which have'tnotet voted by the Board on account of delay in the submission of estimates by the. State Engineer,`dwe. submit' the followings — It is our understanding that the general custom of the• State; though perhaps not an invariable one, is to advertise for construc- tion bids in one county when there are several roads ready for construction in such 'County. TIowever this maybe, if the propo- sition for such road is voted at the present time we will, if the Board-so desire..notf ask ,that:the State advertise ,al- thelpresent time for bids for the constructionaof [such road, .but will ,join,. with the Good Roads Committee, of. the, Board of Supervisors if they, : so desire, in • Urging the State Engineering ' Depattment not toadver- tise for' bids for the construction' of the proposed Cayuga - Heights : T-Ianshalv's !Corners road' sliould'precede that of+sorrie of %the'roads are finished and the cost ascertained, -orr untilishah .time as there are other roads in the County of Tompkins appropriations for wwhich shall have been made so that :bids -for the construction of said roads may be legally. advertied at the same time. , AVe make this suggestion because we believe in the intere of the good roads construction in the County it would be an unfor- tunate policy for controvet sies to arise in the "Board'Sver` the order of construction of roads which Save been properly petitioned for, included in, map, by the Board of Supervisors. to the ; State Engineer, approved not only by the respective town hoards. but by the State Engineering Department as well. In this connection we ca11 your attention to the fact that not only was a petition for the survey of the 'Cayuga I- Ieights,- 'Hanshaw's Corner road signed by twelve of the thirteen present members of the Board of Supervisors and - forwarded to the 'State'- Engineer, but thereafter 'Assistant State Engineer Van Hoesen. of Albany and the Division Engineer McComb of 'Syracuse both personally examined the proposed road, and as a result thereof, fnaps, plans and estimates have been, at no little expense, prepared by the State and submitted for the ;approv of the Board. It is 'of some importance ko Tompkins County that proposals for all roads to be,improved be'voted,at ias•early,ai date •asrpossible,- The Supervisors' Proceedings.129 to the end that other counties may not secure State appropriations, which are limited in amount, 4o the exclusion of Tompkins County.

IN THIS M.ATTER oe THE ACCOUN - TIS OF ROSCOE C. WIL- SON. AS A CORONER OP 'I'O\61'RI NS COU NT.V. To the Board of Supervisors: The undersigned. Berkley Simpson. I-I. C. I :n ;.sinks and AV. Fl. Parker, to whom it was referred as a committee to exa1ni10 into all the facts and circumstances concerning each and every item — and into the legality thereof as a proper county charge— contained in the bill of Roscoe C.

Do hereby repert that said cornucr. Rosene C.

Upon the hearing before us we were attended by said coroner, who was represented by counsel; and this committee has also been advised by counsel th its examination. The Supervisors' Proceedings.347 After fully and carefully considering the evidence produced be- fore us and the legal phases of the various questions involved, we hcrchv report as follows: hIRST: All the charges contained in said coroner's hill on acconnt of an alleged inquest on the body of Janes T. P. Moron as of September 13. Iwo6. are. in our opinion. dearly unjustifiable and illegal to say the least. The coroner himself stated, under oath, th:d he had never even viewed The body in this ease nor went Ut the place of death: but That. having been well acquainted with the de- ceased for a long time, 'he. merely furnished a death certificate to an undertaker in'rhis case. Nevertheless on September tyo6. he filed the following paper tvith the Clerk of Tompkins County as his decision in this case. to wit: Sept. 2 1906. Coronet's inquest pertaining to the death of James T. P. Herson. Age 37. Died Sept. 20, 19 °, about 5 p. m. Residence 226 S. Geneva st. Primary cause of death, paim mart' asthenia.

Janus T. P. 1-1erson to be pulmonary asthenia. No money or other property found on his person. Roscor. C. \V n sux, Coroner." None of these items charged in con nectioin with this so- cancel JHerson inquest is a county charge. for the simple reason that no 348 The Supervisors' Proceedings. inquest or legal inquisition of any sort was held by the coroner; and all of these items should be stricken out. SECOND: On three several occasions the coroner procured a conveyance from the livery to carry him to the place of the alleged inquest, and has charged the expense thereof to the county in his bill, the following being the items, viz.: 1906. May 15— Inquest on Garret Venus. Ithaca Town. Expenses, livery t 30 1906. July 17— Inquest on John Mix.• Dryden, N. Y. Expen livery 1 5o 1906. Oct. io— Inquest on Daniel A. Thomas, Danby, N .Y. Expenses, livery 1 50 The fees of coroners are fixed by chapter 833 of the Laws of 1873, as amended, entitled "An act to regulate the fees of coroners," and therein it is provided that a coroner "shall be entitled to•re- ceive the following compensation for services performed: 'Mileage to the place of inquest and return, ten cents per mile . . In each of these several cases the coroner's hill contains a charge for mileage in addition to these livery expenses; and, in the opinion of your committee, the mileage fee covers all expense for going "to the place of inquest and return," which is a legal 'charge. These items, aggregating $4.50, should also he stricken out of the bill. 3 THIRD: The coroner's bill also contains the following item, viz.: 1906. July 9- Ingnest on Harold Finch, Ithaca, N. Y. Reducing to writing testimony of wit- nesses examined in above inquest, filed with the decision in the office of the Clerk of the County of Tompkins, 36 folios at 25c. each 9 00" The Supervisors' Proceedings.349 and it al-so contains the following item of the saute character, viz.: 1906. Aug. 7— lnquest on Bessie 1 aFrance, Ithaca Town. Reducing to writing testimony of witnesses examined in above, filed with the decision in the office of the Clerk of the County of Tompkins, 130 folios at 25c. each 3 50" In each of these cases an inquest was held wherein witnesses were examined—nine witnesses in the Cinch case and fifteen wit- nes in the La ranee case — whose testimony was taken by a ste- nographer: and this testimony, as required by section 778 of the Code of Civil Procedure, was with the inquisition or decision" of the coroner tiled he him in the office of the County Clerk. In eaca of these cases the coroner's bill contains a separate charge of one dollar for `drawing decision,' and also a separate charge of twenty - five cents for "copying decision. r folio." By the above mentioned section 778, it is provided that the testimony of witnesses examined before -the coroner mist he re- duced to writing by the coroner, or under his direction," and with the decision filed in the n dice of the clerk. etc. Under the above mentioned statute. regulating the coronet's fees, lie is "entitled to receive the following compensation for services performed: draw - ng decision, one dollar: copying decision for record, per folio, twenty -five cents: but such officer shall receive pay for one copy only." It is part of the duty of a coroner, in holding an inquest, to cause the testimony of witnesses examined before him to he reduced to writing, and to file such testimony) and the law gives no addi- tonal fee for such filing. 'Manifestly the testimony of witnesses is no part of the duision but it must be filed with the decision. These two * items, aggregating $0.50, should also be stricken out of the hill. 411 this connection reference is also made the fact that on December 27, woo. the Board audited and allowed a bill of H. L. O'paniel in the stmt of $28.00 for taking and transcribing the testi- mony in the Lalhance case: and it is this same testimony on account of which the coroner has made the above mentioned charge of 32.5o for "reducing to writing, testimony of.witnesses, examined, etc." 350 The Supervisors' Proceedings. 4- dFOUR'pd In each of 'the foLowin; cases there was undoubt- edly an appropriate subject - matter for a legal "inquisition" or "in- q1105i' by the coron viz: 1906. Jan. 29— Inquest on Patience Smith. Ithaca. N. Y. 1906. Feb. lI— Inquest on , Airs. C. Ai. Halts. Ithaca, N. Y. 1906. June 24— Inquest on William F. Chase, Ithaca, N. Y. 1906. Jul' g— Liquest on 11 arold Finch. Ithaca, N. Y. 1906. Aug. 7— Inquest on 'Bessie LrFraace. Ithaca Town. i Sept. 12- 1nquest on Sarah d3. Harty. Ithaca. N. Y. 1906. Oct. to— Inquest or Daniel A. Thomas. Danbv. N. Y. qn each of these cases there seems to have been a death caused by violence or suicide under circumstances which clearly made it the duty of the coroner to hold an "inquest": told. except as here - inhefore noted. the items charged in the coroner's bill on account of each of these in are correct. As already staled. no inquest tvhats0ever was held in the case of James '1', P_ Henson. In each of the remaining fourteen (14) cases of so- celled in- quests, as set forth in this hill, it appears to your committee that no "inquisition" or "inquest," within either the letter or the spirit of the statute. was ever held. In none of these cases was the coroner informed that the'per- son had "suddenly died uadt such circumstances as to afford a reasonable ground to suspect that his death has been occasioned by the art 0» another by criminal nrfn and at no time, ill connec- tion with any one of these cases, was there any suggestion made to the coroner. or any suspicion in his mind. that the death was due to other than natural causes. This he practically admitted —and in no instance denied —upon his examination before us. It seems to us. therefore, that there was no subject - matter for an "inquisition" or "inquest" for which coroner's fees can properly be made a county charge, but that. on the contrary. in each case the coroner only made a preliminary inquiry and atctnally determined that no "inquisition" or "inquest" was necessary. In none of these cases was there any '`sworn examination" of all informant or com- The Supervisors' Proceedings.351 plainant, nor was there any testimony taken by the coroner: nor was anything else [lone indicative of any judicial inquiry. Run in each case !Isere had been no 91105:cian in attendance farm [whom the requisite death certificate could be secured' and it is too obvious That the coroner was called upon — sometimes by 0 person at the residence of the deceased and sometimes by an undertaker — simply to •luain from him a death certificate and save the troulde Of pro- curing.. "an affidavit stating the circumstances. trine and cause of death. and sworn to by some credible person known to the officer granting the permit.` as required fiv section 23 of chapter 6(it of the Laws of 1393. so as to thereby secure the necessary burial permit. A/e are of opinion that in each of these, cases the service rendered by the coroner was not the molding of au "inquest" se- "inquisition. on account of which the county is chargeable: but was 0 persona[ service rendered for rbose in behalf of whom Ile was sent for. The County Law seems to contemplate this yery contingency. for aiming the enumerated cou charges are these_ viz: ' Tine accounts of the coroner of the county for such services as arc not rhor cnob(c 10 flu' prrsan CM gloving hove. (Section 230, sub. 1o.) VVe are confirmed in this view by the informal character of the so- called "decisions' in these so- called - inquests". none of which were filed until September 29, 1906 — except in the f awl La- i/ranee cases —when sixteen were filer) together and, the remaining four were filed December 3. 1906. It is manifestly unjust that the comity shall be charged with all the fees attcndani upon a gamine coroner's inquest whenever a per- son has suddenly died from natural causes and the coroner is sent for merely because no physician had been recently in attendance. This condition of affairs neither did nor could occur when the lam required an inquest to be held by a coronet c a jury: and we are safe in saving that in none of these fourteen cases would the coroner have ventured to impanel a Jury to inquire into the cause of death. The situation developed by this inquiry seem=_ to require either drastic nsa=_ures with reference to this particular bill, or some action, with reference to the future. under section 191 of the County Law, which authorizes_ the 'Board of !Supervisor to prescribe a salary for the coroners of this county: but in view of the fact that this matter should be considered by the Board we merely sub - alit the facts and our conclusions wiihoat any particular recom -- mendalion. 352 The Supervisors' Proceedings.

Herson, nor went to the place where it was, and did not even undertake to hold any inquest or inquisition whatsoever; now, therefore, be it further Resolved, That the following items contained in said bill, and each of them „to wit: 1906.

M. HuIts, \Villiam d . Chase. Harold. Pinch, Bessie LaVrance, Sarah .B. 'Harty, Daniel A. Thomas and Gertrude L.

Wilson that he has inadvertently omitted to charge this fee in each of the following five cases of inquests, to wit: In the cases of •Patience Smith, Mrs. C. M. I--Iults, iWrilliam F. Chase, Sarah B. i-Iarty and Daniel A. Thomas, on account of which his bill, as rendered and adjusted, is hereby allowed; and Whereas, This JBoard is of the opinion that said Roscoe C.

And Whereas, On January '22, 1907, on being examined before a special committee of the Board of Supervisors appointed to ex- amine into the legality of each and every item contained in his said account; said coroner, .Dr. Roscoe C. Wilson, testified as follows w'th reference to the above mentioned items: Q. I call your attention to the item Sept. 22, 1906, inquest on James T. P. -Herson, Ithaca, N. Y. How was the fact of his death called to your attention? A. Undertaker told me, I think. Q. Who was the undertaker? A. Shea. Q. Are you sure of that, doctor? A. T am pretty sure. Q. T have been informed that he was not... A. T would not say positively. That was my impression. It was an undertaker. whoever it was. I do not know whether it was he or Comings. 'He had a good many Catholics. Q. What did you do then? The Supervisors' Proceedings.363 A. In that case when they came to me I told them I was going to leave town right away and would not have time to go down there, and they said they did not think there would be •time to get another coroner here, and he asked me if I would not issue a'death certificate. Q. The undertaker did? A. Yes. I did not go down and see that. He said they might possibly have to postpone the •funeral if it was not issued, and I issued the certificate. Q. The only information you got was from the undertaker? A. Yes. Q. Did you learn from him that this man had been ill for some time? A. Yes; he said he had had tuberculosis for some time, hem- orrhages. Q. So you did not go to the house at all? A. No; did not go to the house at all. Q. 'I notice the next item on your bill under head of Sept. 22 is, viewed body, $5.00. You did not view the body in that case? A: No/sir. T consider under the circumstances that it is per- fectly right for. me to issue the certificate and put in proceedings.. Q. ,You also 'have an item of mileage, two miles toc., or'2oc. A. Yes. Q. There was no mileage whatsoever, was there? A. Not in that case. Q. You made an entry with reference to the case on your coroner's book, did you ? A. Yes. Q. Will you please read? 364 The Supervisors' Proceedings. A. Sept. 22. James T. P. Herson. Age 37. Died Sept. 20, o6, 5 P. M. Residence 226 S. Geneva street. Primary cause of death pulmonary asthenia. Secondary cause of death. tuberculosis. Q. Now what is the form of the death certificate that you give to the undertaker ? Is it in that form ? Yes. • It just gives the primary and secondary causes of death and time of death. Q. I show you paper. Was that the paper filed in the Clerk's office in connection with Herson's death? A. It is." Paper marked Exhibit 0, and was read as follows: Sept. 22, tgo6. Coroner's inquest pertaining to the death of James T. 'P. Herson. Age 37. Died Sept. 20, 5906, about 5 P. M. Residence 226 S. Geneva street. Primary cause of death, pulmonary asthenia. Secondary cause of death, tuberculosis. Dr. R. C. WILSON, Coroner." Q. What is 'asthenia'? A. It means a general weakness and giving out. Q. So that cardiac asthenia translated into our language would be heart failure? A. Yes. Q. In the case of Herson, is not the death certificate you gave to the undertaker practically the same as this paper which has been read? A. Practically. Q. Is there any difference? A. None that I know of. Q. Simply states the cause of the death and the age of the person? A. Yes. Thu Supervisors' Proceedings.365 Q. Is that true of all these cases which I have referred to? A. All these cases, yes. Q. This paper that I have shown you is the paper which you call die decision in your bill ? A. Yes. Q. And you filed it in the Clerk's office? A. Yes. Q. It might be inf cresting to know upon what theory you charge for mileage when you had not gone at all? A. Simpiy that I considered that of it had been so I could I would have gone down there and viewed the body, and the mileage would have gone in just the same, fraction of a mile. I considered it just the same. as an accommodation to them." And AWhereas. .Notwithstanding the fact that no inquest what- soever was held with reference to the body of said • James T. P. Herson, nevertheless said items hereinbefore mentioned were in- eluded by the said coroner, Roscoe C. Wilson, in his verified bill, and presented for audit and allowance to the Board of Supervisors, as aforesaid; and Whereas, It is provided by Section 672 of the Penal Code that A person whn knowingly, with intent to defraud, presents for audit or allowance, or for payment, tb any officer or board of offi -• cers of the State, or of any county, town, city or village, authorized to audit, or allow, or to pay hills, claims or charges, any false or fraudulent claim, bill, account, 'writing or voucher, or any bill, ac- count or demand, containing false or fraudulent charges, items or claims, is guilty of a felony."

Wil- son's affidavit of verification to said bill are not true; now, there- fore, be it 366 The Supervisors' Proceedings.
