The Clerk read the following report of the Committee on Highways, relative to the merits of the two roads leading north from McLean : To the Board of Supervisors : Your committee, appointed by a resolution of this Board, adopted April 13, 1928, to investigate the relative merits of the two routes leading north from the hamlet of McLean, wishes to render the following report: Your committeetraversed both roads in question and found that each started at the corners in McLean and both ended, within less than one-half mile of each, other, at the State and County Highway leading east from Groton Village toward the City of Cortland. Your committee also found that the total length of each route is nearly the same and the number of residents to be served • is practically the same in the judgment of your committee. For these reasons, your committee cannot see why this Board should, express a preference for the construction of either road, to the disadvantage of the residents on the other. While the state law, and the rules of this Board, gives to the Board of Supervisors the power to designate highways for construction, this Board has always felt, and still feels, that the wishes of the inhabitants of the towns wherein the roads are located, as expressed by resolutions of the town boards, should be followed as nearly as possible, where such wishes or resolutions do not conflict with the highway .prgramme of the county or the rules of construction, as laid down by this Board. Such does not seem to be the case in this instance and your committee, feeling that either route would be acceptable to the county at large, and• the selection of one route in preference to the other is a matter that should be determined by the resi- 44 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS dents of the locality in which the roads are situated, your com- mittee would recommend that the matter be referred back to the Town Board of the Town of Groton, to determine.

Moved by Mr. Buck, that the bridge in question be repaired at the expense of the county, by the town forces of the Town of Caroline, under the supervision of the County Superin- tendent of Highways.

Moved by Mr. Howell, that the Chairman be requested to appoint seven persons to constitute a- County Library Com- mission, with the terms of office of each, under the terms of the proposition submitted to this Board. Seconded by Mr. Whittaker. Carried. The Clerk read the following report of the Highway Officials Committee, relative' to the purchase, use and care of county property, pursuant to a motion adopted by this Board on April 23, 1928 : • Your Highway Officials Committee, which was instructed to investigate the purchase, care and use of county property for the maintenance of highways and removal of snow, and to report to this Board at this time, hereby renders the following report: Your committee visited the building on south hill where the tools and machinery are kept and checked the same with the 46 PROCEEDINGS OF' THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS inventory furnished by the County .Superintendent of High- ways and they seemed to agree. Your committee noted that the several snow plows, pur- chased by a former committee of -the Board, through the agency of Mr. Garry Reynolds, for over $6,000.00, were not included in the Superintendent's inventory. As these are county prop- erty it would seem that they should be listed as such. In this connection, your committee believes, from talks it has had with several Supervisors and Town Superintendents of Highways, that the snow plows in question are nut of the proper kind and inadequate to properly remove the snow from the highways of the county. The committee has been informed by members of this Board, that competitive bidding was not procured in this case, which, in the opinion of your committee, is an unjust and expensive procedure, and this purchase was never approved by this Board after the purchase was made by the committee. This was in utter disregard to a resolution of this Board, offered by Mr. Wilkinson and adopted April 16, 1927. Your committee also found that the former committee of the .Board had leased a Brockway Motor Truck, through the agency of Mr. Walter D. Helm. This, as your committee under- stands, was without competitive bidding, and in fact com- petitive bidding was discouraged. The terms of the lease were a rental of $25.00 a day, with the privilege of purchase at $7,083.60, with interest. Your committee visited the Brockway Motor Co., at Cort- land, ortland, and was informed ,by a representative of the company that the price of this truck was around $6,000.00, whether pur- chased for cash or on the lease plan, and your committee has learned .from other sources that the list price for this truck at that time was $6,750.00. Why a contract for such an apparent excessive amount should be entered into by the former committee of this Board, this committee fails to understand. It was ascertained that the lease for the truck was in the hands of the Homer National Bank, and this committee feels OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 47 that it would be a good business policy for the county to pay the balance due on said truck and retain the same for snow removal purposes, rather than to lose the $2,537..50 already paid as rental. Your committee found the various tools and machinery in apparent good condition, altho' that can only be ascertained when an attempt is made to operate the machinery. Your committee would recommend that the unnecessary tools and machinery be disposed of by the committee at the most advantageous terms to the county. Dated, May 14, 1928. LAGRAND CHASE C. M. BUCK S.

Mr. Chase presented the following report of the Highway Officials Committee, relative to the. construction of less ex- pensive highways, built under the County and Town System of Roads : To the Board of Supervisors, Tompkins County, N. Y. Gentlemen : In view of the numerous discussions among the members of this Board. relative to the construction of highways under 120 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS the provisions of §§320aA, and 320-B, of the Highway Law, for less money than is now being expended, your Highway Officials Committee wishes to render the following report relative to the construction of such highways: Your committee has carefully' examined and investigated the construction of various bituminous topped roads, with the thought in mind of finding some less expensive form of top- ping highways that are built under the County. and Town System of Roads. The committee feels that there are certain roads which might be classed as secondary roads (meaning those roads which do not carry al constant stream of heavy traffic but are used principally by farmers in hauling produce and driving their light cars) , that could be constructed with some lighter top, which would reduce the cost of construction and still give a durable and satisfactory road for all general purposes. Your committee would therefore recommend that upon such roads as the Highway Officials Committee may determine as being such secondary roads, subject to the approval of this Board, that a bituminous top, constructed as follows, shall be acceptable to this Board, namely: A top course of No. 2 crushed stone, three (3) inches thick, rolled to two and one-half (21A) inches. bound with heavy asphalt, or other heavy bituminous material, and filled with No. 1 crushed stone or sand, as the Highway Officials Com- mittee shall determine. That said work of construction shall be under • the same supervision and by the same forces as other roads are con- structed unc1er the County and Town System of Roads, and payments therefor shall be made in the same manner. Your committee has nothing to offer at this time relative to any changes in the construction of the sub -base of the roads of the county. Dated, December 17, 1928. LAGRAND CHASE, C. M. BUCK, S. L.

The Clerk read the following report of the Committee on Charities, relative to the report of the County Superintendent of the Poor : • Your Committee on Charities, in rendering its report on the report of the County Superintendent of the Poor, feels it to be its duty to call the attention of the Board to some facts relating to the management of the affairs of the poor of the county. While the figures submitted by the Superintendent are probably correct, your committee feels that they should be more definite. • lst. The report fails to show what was on hand at the be- ginning of the fiscal year, either in amounts or value. 2nd. It does show what was raised on the county farm dur- ing the year 1928, but it does not state as to whether the prod- ucts used in the home were those raised during the•current year or during previous years, nor does it show any balance left over, except pigs on hand. OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 131 3rd. 'It also shows sales from the farm of different products, but neither quantity sold or prices obtained, except that of butter. Your committee would recommend to this Board that here- after the report of the Superintendent be more in detail. Your committee finds that in the appropriation of 1927, $400.00 was for expenses of the superintendent and $400.00 was for transportation. In the report of the Superintendent he shows that his own personal expenses were $64:10 and that for transportation and services of overseers there was $757.90 expended and no re- port of his own transportation. Your committee would recommend that hereafter a more detailed report of the Superintendent's and the Town Over- seer's transportation and expenses be rendered. The report does not show what balances were on hand at the beginning of the fiscal year nor the conditions of the ac- counts. This causes confusion and misunderstanding in ex- , amining the report. The report of the County Treasurer for the current year shows a balance on hand in the Poor Account, Oct. 31, 1928, of $908.29 and yet at the present time your committee finds the account overdrawn to the amount of $1,730.87. Your committee• has learned that there was purchased and installed at the county home a blower connected with the heat- ingplant, so that a cheaper grade of coal could be used for heating purposes and saving a large expense to the county. For some reason, unknown to your committee, this blower is not used and the more expensive coal is being used. Your committee found that the coal bill for the county home the last year was over $1,700.00 more than for the County Clerk's building, the Jail and the County Court House com- bined, which seems a needless waste of county money. The County Superintendent asks for an appropriation of $1,500.00 more for the year 1929, than for the year 1928. Owing to conditions as they exist, your committee fails to see why this additional appropriation should be granted. 132 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Your committee would recommend, however, that the Board appropriate the sum of $600.00 additional for nurse for the men's wwrd, calling the attention of the County Superintendent to the fact that there is nothing to prevent his appearing be- fore the Board at any meeting and, for good reasons shown, securing additional appropriations for any item in his account needing additional money. The committee would also call the County Treasurer's at- tention to the resolution adopted by the Board December 17, 1924, which says: "Resolved—That the County Treasurer is hereby forbidden to pay out any moneys to, or on the order of any such official, organization or association, in excess of the amounts. appro- priated by this Board for such purposes., except on a certified copy of a resolution of this Board directing him so to do." All of which is respectfully submitted. Dated, December 18, 1928. A. L. HUFF, DAVID A. MOORE, C. M. BUCK, Committee.

For outside relief and almshouse maintenance 7,000.00 For/ superintendent's expenses 400.00 For transportation 400.00 For salaries of physician and chaplain 630.00 During the year the following new equipment has been in- 256 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS stalled to replace that which was old and worn out : a sepa- rator in the creamery, an electric washing machine and ex- tractor in the administration part. The following new construction has been made : a three compartment locker for the men's clothing, a hen house with capacity for two hundred hens, a three -car garage. The morgue has been moved and put on a new foundation. All of the slate roofs have been repaired and metal parts of the roofs have been repainted. The brick walls have been re - pointed where ever the mortar has slacked. A.registered Guernsey bull has been bought to head the herd. For years I have been asking for improvements in our hos- pital facilities. The present arrangement for caring for men patients is the one thing most open to.criticism. -We lack a suit- able room for the attending nurse. Temporary arrangement could be made by cutting a door through the wall and taking a a small space from the men's sitting room. This would provide a suitable nurse's room at comparatively small expense. We might then be able to employ a suitable hospital attendant. I would therefore respectfully urge that you take some action to provide such a room at once. I would also ask that an additional silo be built as the one we now have is entirely too small for our present dairy. The front porches and columns should be repaired at once for safety and for the good of the building. WM. D. BALDWIN Superintendent of the Poor State of New York County of Tompkins I SS Wm. D. Baldwin, being duly sworn, says that he is Superin- tendent of Poor of Tompkins County, that the foregoing state- ment is in all respects a true and full statement of receipts and expenditures audited by him during the year 1927-1928 as such superintendent.

OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 257 Annual Report of the Tompkins County Tuberculosis Hospital To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County, Honorable Sirs : In accordance with the law of our State, we respectfully submit our report and financial statement for the year ending October 31, 1928. Our Board has met every month to attend to the business and routine of the Hospital. This without compensation as you know,. • At the close of the year October 31, 1927, we had 10 men 8 women 2 children Admitted 1928 16 men 15 women 5 children Total 26 men 23 women 7 children Discharged 17 men 15 women 6 children 9 men 8 women 1 child Died 3 men 1 woman Census Nov. 1, 1928 6 men 7 women 1 child Of the thirty' eight discharged, nineteen are well, thirteen improved and twelve unimproved. Eleven of those discharged unimproved were at the hospital less than one week. Twenty-five patients were at the hospital during a period extending from two months to two years. Six of the patients admitted this year had been at the hos- pital before and four of these have gone home again and one of the other two patients will soon be able to go to work. Of the seven children we had this year, six were discharged in the fall to attend school. The one child left is gaining and will be ready for school this fall. • The use of sunshine out of doors was used by all patients, and improvement in appetite, gain in weight and decreased 258 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS cough was general .as is shown bythe fact that thirteen pa- tients went home apparently well. During the winter, the Quartz Sun Lamp is used in place of sunlight. It has been necessary to put new floors in the hall, men's room, and men's bath room. The inside woodwork has been painted, as have the metal roofs. Besides the interest of those directly connected with our work, many individuals have made donations, and several or- ganizations make annual gifts to show their approval of the work and to make the time pass more pleasantly for the patients.. Our work throughout the county would be greatly strength- ened if we had a suitable building for children where they could be kept the entire year. Our total days' treatment was 6,774, and total cost $20,379.10, making a per capita cost of $3.008 per day. For the coming year, we request an appropriation of $18,000, the same as last year. We extend our thanks to you members of the Board of Super- visors for your interest and assistance in this worthy work of caring for the tuberculosis of our county. Respectfully submitted, DR. H.
