Your Committee has received a great many petitions for improved roads in the different towns of the 'County, and has examined and formulated them so as to give each .town a fair and equitable share of the 50 miles which we have been informed should rightfully belong to Tompkins County, and in doing this wo have acted to the best of our knowledge and ability, and while the division may not be perfectly accurate, it is as nearly accurate as in our judg- ment could be made. tVe were informed by the State authorities that this division should be made according to three different propositions: First, area of the towns; second, miles of road in each town; third, population in each town out- side of cities and incorporated villages. And after studying the matter carefully, 100 The Supervisors' Proceedings. IN arrived_ at the following conclusions: Caroline should receive 11 per cent. Of the roads; Danby, 10 per cent; Dryden, 17 per cent; Enfield, 8 per cent; Groton. 12 per cent; Ithaca, 8 per cent; Lansing, 14 per cent; Newfield, 11 per cent; and Ulysses, 9 per cent. In making this division, we found that some towns had State Roads built. provided for and laid out, and some towns had a number of miles of State and County roads, and some had very few miles of any roads, State or County. And in making tills division, we felt that we ought to take into consideration all of the improved roads in each town, and the share of those who had a large number of miles of road should be much less than that of those towns which had very few miles of road. In doing this, the Committee has tried to be conscientious, and fair to every town in the county, and while each and every Supervisor of Towns 'in which a.ny roads have been built or are about to he built have been consulter) and all their petitions fairly considered, the Committee has been almost unanimous on the division of the roads in the County. Among our difficulties have been several like this: Mr. McGreevy, a uaenc- ber of the Committee, urged the Boulevard Road ; the other members of the Com- mittee voted unanimously to disregard his wishes. Several of the city members expressed their views on the division, and claimed that it was their right to.dictate on this division in favor of the City, but as no roads were laid in the City except by State authority, their wishes were disregarded as kindly as possible. A.s a Committee, we have been asked to explain to the Board the retc.sous why we chose each piece of road, the length of these roads, the connection with the other roads in the County and of the surrounding Counties,, and whether they accommodated the farmers of the County or made through routes to other Counties, Towns and Cities, and were a consistent part of the plans for unproved roads through .this part of the State. And we were asked to state the reasons how and why we arrived at the percentages of area, mites of road and population and how we made a single percentage out of three percentages on three different. propositions. The Committee consists of five members. No two members of this Com- mittee have the same methods of thought, the same range of ideas, or the same capacity of thinking, figuring, and arriving at conclusions, and it would be alrnost impossible for us to put all our ideas, thought, feeling and computation in such a form that the other members of the Board could fairly grasp the different. cal- culations and ideas of the Committee. We, as a Committee, have given you a chance to figure out ail of these things for yourselves, and the most of you have traveled over all of these roads and from the meager description given will be able to Iocate each piece and see what connection they have with the surrounding roads of the County. And the Committee hereby express thanks to the Board of Supervisors for the forbearing and generous treatment which they have received from the different members of the Hoard in this long continued arduous and nerve-racking -occupa- tion of trying to divide'50 miles into 200 parcels and making each one of them longer than the other fellows. These literary meanders are to be continued indefinitely until each and -every member of this Board is fully satisfied with the good intentions of the Committee, or until the roads have to be repaired by the State. All of which we submit 10 your enlightened judgment. W. C..GALLAGHER, Chairman F. A. BEGENT, B. F. McALLASTER, H. 13. BROWN, R. I'. McGREEVY, COMMITTEE.
