Granger for a refund of taxes, rendered the following report of that committee: With reference to the petition of Lottie H. Granger for a return of monies paid by her to redeem property sold at tax sale, your Committee finds as follows: That a State and County Tax of 50.35 was levied in 1917 against Lot No. 72 in the City of Ithaca, assessed to Lottie H. Granger. That the tax roll upon which this tax was extended was placed in the office of the City Chamberlain for collection on the 22d. day of January, 1918. That the. City Chamberlain settled with the County Treasurer for this tax on the 20th. day of June, 1918, and that the tax 'levied against this Lot No. 72 was unpaid at that time and was so returned, together with all other unpaid taxes of that levy. 96 PROCEEDINGS OF TIIE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS That the City Chamberlain had no authority, to receive any State and County Taxes for 1917 after June 20, 1918, and only the County Treasurer had such authority. That Lottie Granger or Oscar Granger paid a City Tax for 1918 and , received a receipt from the City Chamberlain therefor, dated February 6, 1919, and Lottie Granger apparently paid the same tax a second time and received a receipt therefor, dated April 25, 1919. This second payment, which she claims in her petition should have been applied to the back State and County Tax, could not have been so applied by the City Chamberlain to whom it was paid, because of the fact that his authority to receive such tax terminated more than ten months previously. The County Treasurer advertised this property, among others, for the unpaid taxes and it 'was purchased by the county on the 24th.. day of October, 1918. It was advertised by him for redemption and was then redeemed by Lottie H. Granger on September 2G, 1919, at a cost to her of $15.48. It is this amount which she asks to have returned to her by the county, claiming the City Chamberlain was in error in not applying her second payment of City Tax to the unpaid State and County `Pax. Because of the facts above recited, your Committee would recommend that her petition be not allowed. Respectfully submitted, this 19th. day of December, 1919. WILBER G. FISH, Committee.

A new concrete floor has been laid in one of the tool houses. During the year a new roof has been put on the main barn, the corn crib and tool sheds. OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 197 RECOMMENDATIONS First—That your Board appropriate for the year 1919-1920 for the .upport of town and county poor and physician and chaplain at the county home, and for outdoor relief, for services of overseers, for super- intendents' expenses and transportation, the sum of $10,000.00 in excess of the balance in the poor fund of Nov. 15, 1919. Secmd—As in previous years, we again call to your attention the inefficient and expensive lighting system now in use at the county home, and suggest that the installation of an electric system at an early date be favorably considered, both on account of safety and economy. Third—In our report of last year we called to your attention the need of hospital facilities in connection with the county home, at the same time realizing the fact that the unsettled condition of labor problems and prices of material which have prevailed since the war, it was desirable to only include those items of expense which were indispensable to the routine administration of the institution. But, we would be recreant to an important duty were we to omit, re- ferring to the necessity for the construction of an up-to-date county hos- pital at the county home. We have had during the year four cases which were taken from the county home to the Ithaca City Hospital. The county has had five cases; the City of Ithaca has had eight, the Towns of Dryden, Caroline and Enfield have had two each; the Towns of Lansing, Groton and Ulysses have had one each which should have had hospital care. Nearly every town has had several cases which they have been obliged to take to the city hospital, which could have been cared for more satis- factorily and economically in a county hospital. On account of these conditions, the State Inspectors of the State Board of Charities have insisted, that a suitable hospital building, with all patients under the care and supervision of a competent nurse, is the greatest need of this Institution. And further, quoting a recent com- munication from State Superintendent Robert W. Hill, "It has been ap- parent for years that the Tompkins County Almshouse needed better hospital facilities for the care of sick inmates," and this matter has been reported by inspectors so that the necessity is fully recognized by those familiar with the almshouse. We cannot refrain from calling your attention to, and commending the manner in which the employees at the county home have performed their several duties. The nature of the work is difficult in the best circumstances. WALTER MEKEEL WM. D. BALDWIN DANIEL MITCHELL 198 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS State of New York, County of Tompkins, ss: Walter Mekeel, William D. Baldwin and Daniel Mitchell, being duly sworn, say they are superintendents of the poor of the County of Tompkins; that the foregoing statement is in all respects a true and full statement of receipts and expenditures audited by them during the year 1918-1919, as such superintendents. WALTER MEKEEL WM. D. BALDWIN DANIEL MITCHELL Sworn to before me this 26th day of November, 1919 CHARLOTTE V. BUSH, Notary Public OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 199 REPORT OF BOARD OF MANAGERS OF TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL To the Honorable Board of Supervisors: Gentlemen:— In accordance with Section 47, Article 7, of County Laws, we have the honor to submit herewith •the 7th annual report of the. Board of Managers of the Tompkins County Tuberculosis Hospital for the year ending Nov. 1st, 1919. During the year, 60 patients were admitted, and 55 discharged; of these discharged, 17 died. 3' patients died within 36 hours after ad- mission. There were 14 patients discharged improved, and 24 unimproved. During the year 15 patients were admitted from out of county. The average daily population was 21 and the total days of treatment 8004. IMPROVEMENTS The hospital has been wired for electric lights, these have been in use since May 7th. During the summer the entire outside and tin roof of the buildings were painted, also inside of dining room. An incinerator was purchased to more effectively destroy the sputum. New bedding and dishes were purchased. New fly screen and a new chimney put on the night nurse's house. MAINTENANCE The appropriation for maintenance for the past year was $16,000. With strictest. economy this was riot sufficient for the operation of the hospital during that period. The total expenditures for the year were $20,654.39. After deducting county nurse's pay and permanent improvements totaling $2,484.11, this leaves $18,170.28 as the actual cost of maintaining the hospital and with the total days treatment of 8004 makes our per capita cost $2.27, Onon- daga County was $2.66 and Monroe County $2.30. This increase in cost does not represent any increase in the amount of supplies used, but is simply due to the increase in cost of materials purchased. The ex- penditures were as follows: 200 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Construction $ 900:98 Light 51.12 Heat • 1,053.52 Telephone • 75.66 Insurance 338.54 Upkeep of Building 728.86 Furnishings 166.14 Janitor's Supplies 6.38 Operating Equipment 436.46 Clothing for Patients 2.00 Medicines, etc. 420.07 Food 5,995.10 Kitchen Utensils 52.39 Emergency Employees (including laundry) 1,399.30 Employees 6,865.18 Sundries 959.73 Superintendent's Salary 1,075.00 Office Supplies 41.05 Office Furniture 35.00 Expenses 51.91 Total $20,G54.39 RECEIPTS Balance on hand Nov. 1st, 1918 $ 4,398.96 Appropriation for 1919 16,000.00, Appropriation for Insurance 363.17 Receipts for Maintenance 2,768.66 Total Receipts $23,530.79 Total Expenditures 20,654.39 Leaving a balance on hand $ 2,876.40 It might be �f interest for future reference to include in this report, some of the prices we are now paying for foodstuffs at wholesale: Eggs, 75c a doz.; Milk, 9c a qt.; Butter, 74c a lb.; Beef by the quarter, 27c; Coffee, 41e; Apples, $1.75 a bu.; Bread, 15c a loaf; sugar, 11e a lb. APPROPRIATION REQUESTED An appropriation for Maintenance of $19,000 will be needed for the coming year. This small increase over the last year's cost will be needed, owing to the still higher prices demanded for food, material, wages, and emergency repairs. In addition, we request $1,200.00 to enclose the west women's porch, and add two rooms at the back for very ill patients, and an examining MOM. OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 201 . THE FOLLOWING IS NEEDED $60.00 for bedside tables. $36.00 for periodicals. $1,000.00 for road repair. $200.00 to enlarge pump -house so as to install electric pump. $50.00 for steel filing case for case records. $35.00 for a safe. This makes a total of $21,571.00 requested. It is fitting that we should add to this report mention of the death of Mr. Utter, one of our Board of Managers; Mr. Utter was always interested in the hospital and in keeping its reputation above reproach; he attended -Board meetings regularly, and gave without recompense a great deal of his time to the interest and betterment of the institution. We have suffered a great loss in his death, and hope that due care will be exercised in the appointment of his successor. During the year •the hospital has been visited four times by repre- sentatives of the State Board of Charities. Your Honorable Board of Supervisors met at the hospital in Novem- ber, 1918, and inspected the institution, to better see its needs. In October, '1919, the Tompkins County Medical Association met at the hospital. There -have also been officers from the Ithaca Chapter, Red Cross: Mrs. E. L. Williams, Eugenia Van Cleef, Anna Bates and Mrs. Sanderson visited and brought gifts to the patients. We wish to thank Dr. Esther Parker, Dr. Coville, Dr. Warren and Dr. Bull for their interest in visiting the hospital and helping our Super- intendent. And to you, Gentlemen, we owe a debt of gratitude for your support and confidence. Respectfully, DR. H. GENUNG, President, EMMA W. KNETTLES, G. M. GILCHRIST, M.
