To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County:
Your committee to which was referred the matter of the drafting bills
to place the offices of sheriff nml county clerk upon a salary basis, respect-
fully that after a careful and thorough investigation and con
tion of the matter of the form of the bill.by which this result might be ac-
complished, we caused to be prepared bills which in form and substance met
with our ideas. Said bills were presented to the Board at a session thereof
held on December 00, 1908.
The proposed county clerk's salary bill, after being considered in detail,
met with the unanimous approval of the Board, and the proposed sheriff's
salary bill, when considered in detail, met with the approval of a majority
of the Board. and no suggestion by any one was made, that the Board be
invested with power to alter the amount of the several sale ries.
The bills were presented to our legislative representatives on or about
January 6th, 1900, they were finally passed by the Senate and Assembly,
but, we are just informed. have met with the Governor's veto.
A,
While we question the wisdom of delegating to the Bond of Supervisors
the power and authority to 11X" and determine the salary payable to the sub-
ordinate officers provided for under these bills, we are of the opinion that
the evils incident to the exercise of said power are and will he less than
now experienced under the prevailing fee system. Accordingly, we recom-
mend that the Board forthwith approve of the new drafts of the proposed
bills, which are here presented and which are so altered as to conform to
the Governor's objections, and that the same be forthwith submitted to our
legislative representatives, with our earnest request that they take the
12 The Supervisors' Proceedings
necessary steps to secure their adoption during the current session of the
legislature.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
Dated, April 22, 1909.
R. P. CHAPPUIS.

proved by the I3oard and our Senator and Assemblyman requested to
exert their utmost endeavors to secure the passage of these bills at this
session of the legislature. •
By Mr. Aiken:
Resolved, That the Chairman of this Board appoint a committee of
three to confer with the Governor to the end that such alterations may
be made therein as will make said bills conform to his obje :tlonz and that

REPORT OF CONSTRUCTION COMMITTEE ON GOOD ROADS.
We, the undersigned Construction Committee on Good Roads make
report as follows:
1) On August 27, 1909, the Genesee Valley Construction Co., sub-con-
tractors under bailey, Johnson & Saunders, discontinued operations on Road
No. 482, (Catskill Turnpike, Sec. No. 3), leaving the highway in such shape
that we deemed it imperative to continue its constructior, particularly inas-
much as, among other things, the original contract was made by the County
of Tompkins with the State, which has never officially recognized any sub-
contracts or sub - lettings of construction.
Thereupon we notified Bailey, Johnson & Saunders, as well as its surety
on its sub - contract with the county, (a) That the work of construction had
been abandoned, as above stated; (b) That the time for the performance of
the contract'of construction had long ago expired; and, therefore, (c) That
the county is compelled forthwith to proceed, under its contract with the
State, to finish the work of constructing the highway.
v3
2) When the work of construction was discontinued August 27, 1909,
about 91 per cent. of our contract with the State had been completed.
Thereupon, at a meeting of the committee, we carefully considered the mat-
ter, and, under authority vested in us by various resolutions of this Board a
we decided to proceed forthwith with such work of construction as seemed
to us necessary to save from loss or damage the work that already had been
done; and, to that end, we empowered Supervisor William C. Gallagher, one
of this Committee, to take personal supervision of the work until further
notice.
3) Under the direction of Supervisor Gallagher 'an additional 3 per
cent. of the remainder (about 9 per cent.) of the State contract has been
performed, leaving about 6 per cent. still undone.
The Supervisors' Proceedings 27
The macadam work has been finished; but there remains to be com-
pleted that portion of the State contract relating to slopes, ditches, guard-
rails, and some minor repairs to the work of construction that was done In
1908.
4) In this work of construction we have bought two carloads of lime-
stone which already had been shipped to Besemers and were at the station.
Although consigned to the Genesee Valley Construction Company, they had
no claim to this limestone; and our purchase was made directly from the
consignor at Utica. We have also purchased 2 carloads of limestone screen-
ings; 100 sacks of cement; and the following tools: 1 dozen shovels; 1 -2
dozen picks with handles; 1 -2 dozen grub hoes with handles; 2 rakes; one
file; 60 feet of 1 -inch hose; 2 red lanterns; 1 pail and 1 dipper —all at an
expense of $36.40.
Supervisor Gallagher also has paid out, or incurred liability, for freight
and demurrage, $82.95, and for telephone messages, $.60. He has also ex-
pended, or contracted for, In the employment of labor necessary to forward
the work of construction, amounts aggregating $843.33 as per itemized
statement hereto annexed,
We recommend that the Board take whatever measures It shall be ad -.
vised to push forward to completion the work covered by this contract as
rapidly as possible; and, this must be done as the contract is. between the
County and the State and all the sub- contractors have become insolvent.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
Dated, Ithaca, N. Y., September 27, 1909.

The Clerk read the report of the Committee on County Build-

To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County:
Your Committee on County Buildings respectfully report as follows on
various matters coming to this committee for action:
Taking up first the county jail, there has been a considerable number
of improvements and alterations made in this building and we believe that
when fully completed as contemplated, the county Jail will cease to be a
The Supervisors' Proceedings 61
bone of contention as between the various societies of the City of Ithaca
having to do with the unfortunates of the County and City, and the State au-
thorities having to do with jails and prisons.
On January 1st, 1909, with the coming in of a newly elected sheriff
there had to be a considerable number of changes made in the residence
portion of the jail. Most of the rooms 'therein required new painting and
decorating, which your committee with the assistance of the sheriff had done
in a very creditable manner. There were also laid hard wood floors in the
front and back parlors, thus doing away with the renewing at short intervals
of the imitation oak filler around the outside of the floors of these two
rooms.
Your committee have had considerable trouble with the cooking range
in the jail kitchen during the year, but believe same to be working in a sat-
1sfactory manner at the present time.
As per the instructions of the Board of Supervisors there was let on
March 11th, 1909, a contract to Pulford and Dempsey for an addition to
the jail consisting of four apartments for women, children and juvenile pris-
oners, the original contract being for the sum of $5,500.00, which was later
supplemented by an addition of $50.00 thereto to cover additional cost of
plumbing and changes insisted upon by the Board of Plumbing Inspectors of
the City of Ithaca.
The above mentioned addition plans were drawn by the late A. B. Wood,
architect, and the construction has been under the supervision of C. L.
Vivian, architect.
The addition at this time is practically completed with the exception of
4 some minor parts of the plumbing, which have been delayed owing to
changes made as mentioned in this report, but your committee is assured
that the building will he ready for use on or before December 1st and will
be a place of confinement fit in,every way for the purposes intended.
In the jail proper, skylights have been put in the roof of the ventilator,
the old sets of double grating removed from the first floor windows and sin-
gle round bar grating substituted, thereby assuring more light. The old
method of self - flushing closets in vogue therein is to be changed to a better
and more economical method and which will not only give better service but
will very materially lessen the cost of water in the jail, the cost of which has
been a matter of some concern for the past few years. This improvement
which is a part of the above mentioned contract will be completed by De=
cember 1st, your committee is assured.

62 'The Supervisors' Proceedings
These improvements, taken as a whole, as mentioned at the outset of
this report, will make the Tompkins County Jail well within the require-
ments of all right- minded citizens and the prison authorities.
The Court /louse has had but few repairs during the year 1909. Some 4
doors and windows have been repaired. The steps on the Mil] Street side
have been relaid. The steam boiler which was in a very bad condition has
peen thoroughly overhauled and repaired.
The County Clerk's Office has needed but few repairs and those mainly
to plumbing. There have been placed awnings on the east windows of the
Surrogate's Office as recommended by the Board of Supervisors. The heat-
ing plant has also been overhauled and put in good condition.
County Almshouse. —lour committee is pleased to report of improve-
ments and changes made in co- operation with the County Superintendents of
the Poor and the Keeper of the Almshouse at that institution during the
year, chief among which are the sinking of an artesian well and the in-
stallation of a power pump which greatly aids and adds to the former sup-
ply of water, the installation df iron fire escapes on the men's dormitory, the
moving of the horse barn a considerable distance east on a line with the
other farm buildings. This has been a long contemplated improvement and
your committee is pleased to report its consummation. The ice house is be-
ing rebuilt and a tool shed provided. These improvements taken as a whole
form a very creditable list of changes and betterments for the year and have
been well and economically done. Your committee made its annual inspee-
tion on September Gth and found the institution in a generally satisfactory
condition.
County Building Rest State Street, formerly used as a stone yard. This
building has been used three years as a storage warehouse by Bailey, John-
son & Saunders, road contractors, and is still so partially used, this company
having still stored therein a considerable quantity of tools, machinery, etc.
The Construction Committee on Good Roads are also having stored therein
all the road building machinery possible. .
Recommendations. —Your committee has had their attention called by a
representative of the State Board of Charities to the matter of location of
closets and bath room in the basement of the Men's Dormitory at the Alms-
house, claiming it a very great hardship for the aged inmates to get access
thereto and also complaining of the plumbing which is old and very defec.
tive. Your committee agrees with the above mentioned representative that
It is a matter that should have early attention.
Your committee would also recommend that the Board of Supervisors
The Supervisors' Proceedings 63
take under consideration the matter of redecorating the interior of the vari-
ous buildings at the Almshouse as well as the painting of the exterior of
same. This matter has been under contemplation for some time and should
be done during the year 1910.
The tower at the Court House is in need of repairs and should have
attention early in the new year.
zJ Attention is also called to the bad condition of the West State Street
property. This building and addition needs new roofs very badly, windows
repaired, new doors, fence repaired and a general but not expensive over-
hauling.
Attention is also called to the matter of furnishings for the new jail ad-
dition. It will be necessary to provide beds, bedding, etc., at an early date.
Your attention is also called to the matter of repairing line fence on east
side of jail as well as some provision for safe - guarding the jail yard.
All of which is submitted for your consideration,

The Good Roads Committee reported favorably on the follow-
ing resolution offered by Mr. McAllaster, Messrs. Jones, McAllaster
and Parker of the committee approving the same and Messrs. Beach
and Todd not approving thereof:
By Mr. McAllaster:
Whereas. the route laid down by virtue of Sub - division 9, Section 120
1.10 The Supervisors' Proceedings
01 the'•'Highway Law" is described to commence at a point near the Village
of Horseheads and thence northerly and northeasterly by way of
Horseheads, Breesport, and Erin to a point to be determined by the Com-
mission on the dividing line between Tioga and Chentung Counties, running
thence easterly and northeasterly by the way of North Spencer to a point
on the dividing line between Tompkins and Tloga Counties, and thence
northerly to the City of Ithaca, and
VVhereas, the said route is bet woen thirty - eight and thirty - nine miles
in length, and in places has a grade of above seven per cent. per mild; and c
said route for practically the whole distance lies adjacent to the E., C. & N.
and Lehigh Valley Railroads so that people residing along said route are
already provided with shipping stations and market places; and there are
between the point of commencement near the Village of Horseheads and the
City of Ithaca along said route nine grade railroad crossings, some of which
are of a dangerous character; and there is already constructed and in use
a good macadamized road from the Village of Horseheads through Brees-
port to the Village of Erin, thus accommodating the inhabitants along such
highway, and
Whereas, by following the highway from Horseheads through the Vil-
loge of Suliivanville, Bacon Hollow, Pony Hollow and Newfield Village to
the City of Ithaca, the distance would be• only between twenty -seven and
twenty -eight miles; the grade would at no place exceed two and one -half
per centum per mile; the number of grade crossings along the entire route •
would be but two; the route would be across the country where the inhabi-
tants have no present shipping or market places, and in it majority of in-
stances are obliged to make long hauls of produce; and there is no ma-
cadamized road along said route except for about four miles out of Ithaca,
which said macadamized road would be common to both routes, therefore,
Resolved, That the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County earnest-i'
ly request such change in said subdivision 9 of said section of the "High
way Law" as shall provide for the construction of such state highway along
and over said last mentioned route by way of Newfield, Pony Hollow and
the Village of Sullivanville to a point at or near the Village of Horseheads;
or such action by the Legislature of this State as shall repeal all of said
Section 120, except the first sentence therein, and shall grant the power to
the State Board of Highway Commissioners to lay out the trunk lines of
the state highways along and over such routes as in their judgment shall
be for the best interests of the inhabitants.

1.42 The Supervisors' Proceedings
First. We recommend cut from his bill the following items in
Schedule A amounting to a total of $177.00.
Second. We would respectfully report that alter a careful inVestlga-
tion of the items in this bill under the head of investigations, many of which
this committee questions, but owing to the fact that your Board have already
at this session allowed a former sheriff on such items, we would recommend
that all items under the head be allowed as charged. But this is in no sense
to be considered as establishing a precedent that the Board of Supervisors
will for the future continue such custom, but on the contrary in' the future
the sheriff of Tompkins County must make investigations only on the order
of the properly constituted officials or on affidavit of reputable persons and
such investigations to be audited by this Board and must be properly
itemized.

In our 1908 report we mentioned as having unsettled, costs of rights of
way on roads 336, 454 and 483, amounting to $2,559.54. The State has re-
imbursed the County for practically 50 per cent. of this amount and the
money has been placed to the credit of the Good Roads Construction Fund. •
The Bailey, Johnson & Saunders note, which was held by the First Na-
tional Bank, has been paid and the proceeds $2,500.00, applied on the Bailey,
Johnson & Saunders chattel mortgage. This sum, together with accrued in-
terest, amounting to $118.75, has been placed by the County Treasurer to the
credit of the Good Roads Construction Fund.
We would •also report the receipt of the final 10 per cent. on roads 455
P and 336, amounting to $3,436.35, which has also been applied on Bailey,
Johnson & Saunders chattel mortgage. By reference to the financial state-
ment attached to this report, the present status of amount due on this mort-
gage may be determined.
We respectfully call your attention to an important matter that should
i
be taken up at this time, namely: the disposition to be made in the final.set-
tlement as between the various towns and the County of the item of general
expense, which has entered largely into the cost of construction, and which
must be disposed of before the actual cost to .any one town of the road
therein can be determined.
This committee acknowledges receipt of letter from Messrs. Newman &
Blood, referred to them by your Board, and as soon as practicable, the In-
formation desired will be furnished.

226 The Supervisors' Proceedings
On August 27th, The Genesee Valley Construction Company discon-
tinued work on road 483, with 9 per cent. still to be done, and the construc-
tion repaired on the portion of this road from Cook's Corners to Mulk's
Corners. Your committee immediately proceeded to complete this 9 per
cent., as well as the repairs mentioned above, as per a former report, and
t
the work is now, complete,. We regret, however, our inability to make final
report on this road, as the State, for some unaccountable reason, is delaying
acceptance. There are also some bills for materials furnished that have
not been presented for payment. Below we append cost of construction of
the 9 per cent. and the repairs mentioned above, as far as we are able to
give at this time. However, as we stated before, this is not final. -
Ere final adjournment of your Board, it may be possible for this Com-
mittee to file a supplemental report showing final acceptance and total cost
of this road.
We report total cost of completed roads as follows:
Construction.Engineering.
454 34,736.55 4,269.32
455 3,543.15 587.15
336 32,138.95 4,202.25
338 14, 311.75 1,620.25
Immediately upon acceptance by the State of Road 483, which is the
final contract to be disposed of under our agreement with the State, your
committee recommends that unless Bailey, Johnson & Saunders appear and
make settlement with the county for the amount still due on chattel mort-
gage, including interest, the County proceed to foreclose said chattel mort-
gage and dispose of the articles covered by same.
