Y 182 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD .OF SUPERVISORS A storage tank and hot water systejn has been connected with th'e cistern and kitchen range, and a new pump has been placed in the laundry connecting with the cistern. RECOMMENDATIONS. First, That your Board appropriate for the year 1918-1919 for sup- port of town and county poor and physician and chaplain at the alms- house, and for outdoor relief, for services of overseers, for superin-' tendent's expenses and 'transportation, the sum of $11150.00. Second, As there are no hospital facilities in connection with the county home for the care and relief of town and county cases, we ask that the Board take some definite action toward providing a hospital in connection with the almshouse, as is recommended and required by the • State Board of Charities. Third, The present lighting system at the county home is so inefficient and expensive of operation, and liable to fail completely, that we urge you to instal! an electric system as soon as possible, thereby conserving the resources of the county, and protecting its interests in reduced ex- pense for operation and insurance.

WALTER MEKEEL, WM. D. BALDWIN, DANIEL MITCHELL. Sworn to before me this 2d day of December, 1918. FRED L. CLOCK; Notary Public. OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK .183 REPORT OF BOARD OF MANAGERS OF TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL To the Board of Supervisors, Tompkins County. Gentlemen: In accordance with the requirements of Section 47 of the County Laws, we have the honor to submit the following report: The past year has been a trying one for the Board of Managers. •It has been difficult at times to get supplies and the help problem has wor- ried us as it has many others. Our superintendent, Dr. W. K. Quackenbush, resigned June 6th, after over two years of faithful service, to accept the position of superin- tendent of a tubercular hospital at Battle Lake, Minn., and this necessi- tated the securing of a physician to care for the patients. For several months Dr. Abram Chase of Jacksonville visited the hospital and at- tended the needs of the patients until in September he moved his office •to Ithaca and at this time Dr. Keith Sears was hired to care for the •patients. I)r. Sears still holds the position of visiting physician. We feel, however, that we have had a successful. year and with a total cost of maintenance of no more than last year, the cost to the taxpayers of 'Tompkins County being $12,841.00, and this includes over $1400.00 paid to the county nurse. The following tables .show the movement of the patient population during the year: Patients admitted to Sanitarium during the year 54 Patients treated during year 70 Patients discharged during year 41 Patients died during year 12 Patients remaining in hospital Nov. 1st, 1918 20 The greatest numbei• of patients during the year at one time was August 14th, 1918 . 27 The least number of patients 17 Patients discharged from Sanitorium during year 40 Improved cases • 30 184 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Slightly improved cases 6 Arrested cases 3 Patient dishonorably discharged 1 Total days' treatment given out to county patients 2312 Summary of patients in hospital from December 1st, 1917, to Novem- ber 31, 1918: December, 1917 651 January, 1918 690 February, 1918 750 March, 1918 780 April, 1918 690 May, 1918 660 June, 1918 690 July, 1918 780 August, 1918 ' 810 September, 1918 720 October, 1918 510 November, 1918 570 Total days of treatment 8701.

A small piggery was built and 6 hogs are now ready for the tables. We feel that we are in urgent need of some improvements and most respectfully solicit your consideration of the following: First, The installation of an electric lighting system, the present system of carbide lights having been condemned by the state inspector as unsatisfactory and unsafe. $600.00 Second, Some additional equipment for aid in diagnosis and treatment, such as a microscope, examining table, and a Iamp for nose and throat work. Total cost would be about $300.00. Third, Some new'rugs and painting of nurses' rooms. $200.00. Fo+rrth, A small henhouse should be built so that Iive poultry could be purchased to supply table needs of hospital when they could purchase them more cheaply than dressed fowls. $50.00. In addition to these .specific requests; provision should be made for some renewal of fly screens, bedding, floor linoleum and painting, pump house and' extra money appropriated to cover increased cost of coal and food supplies. $500.00, Without assurance of any definite income from out-of-town patients, we are forced to .ask for the full appropriation for maintaining the hos- pital_ W4th improbements and increased cost of food supplies, we feel it necessary to request a total appropriation of $16000.00.
