Mr Chase offered the following resolution and moved its
adoption •
WHEREAS—This Board has heretofore, from time to time,

26 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
addition to that allotted to the towns by a resolution adopted
December 14, 1916, and
WHEREAS—Some of the towns have not yet designated this
additional mileage allotted to them for construction and placed
the same on the county map, and
WHEREAS—It is the belief of this Board that the highways
of the several towns should be constructed under the county
system, not only with the view of connecting the improved
roads of those towns, but also with the view of connecting the
improved roads of one town with the improved roads of ad-
joining towns, thus making a real county system, and this
Board believes that the several towns should be required so
to do, therefore be it
Resolved—That of the additional mileage thus allotted to
the several towns and undesignated, that there be hereby
designated for construction in the following towns the high-
ways hereinafter named, and that such designations be ap-
proved and accepted by this Board and that the same be placed

Seconded by Mr Pierce Carried
Mr Buck offered the following resolution and moved its
adoption :
WHEREAS—This Board has heretofore adopted the county
system of roads and prepared a county map of the highways
to be improved, and has, from time to time, adopted numerous
resolutions governing the construction thereof and payments
therefor, with the view of giving to each town its just and
fair proportion of the entire mileage to be constructed and its
equitable share of county aid therefor, so that all towns would
complete the mileage allotted to them at the same time, as near
as possible, and
WHEREAS—Some of the towns have been more fortunate
than others in the construction of their roads and have nearly
completed the mileage allotted to them and it is now found
necessary to change the mileage allotted to the several towns
for construction each year, and the amount of moneys per
mile allowed therefor, to enable the less fortunate towns to
construct their roads more rapidly, therefore be it
Resolved,—That the rules and regulations heretofore adopted
by this Board, relative to the construction of the highways in
Tompkins County for the year 1929, under the county system
of roads, be hereby amended as follows

The Clerk read the following report of the Committee on
Charities, relative to an award to and claim of ,C A Midlam,
for injuries sustained by him while employed at the county
home
Your Committee on Charities, to which was referred the
award made to C A Midlam by the State Department of
Labor, Bureau of Workmen's Compensation, and of claims paid
by Mr Midlam, caused by his disability, after conversations
54 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
had with Mr Midlam and after ascertaining the law relating
to the conduct of the county home and the inmates and employ-
ees thereof, reports to this Board, that it is the belief of your
committee that the County Superintendent of the Poor was
remiss in his duties in properly safeguarding the interests of
the county in not procuring compensation insurance for the
employees employed by him at the county home and who are
under his sole direction and control, as was stated to- be his
duty by Referee McCracken at the hearing held in said matter
on May 29, 1929.
Your committee finds that in another branch of county
government, corresponding to that controlled by the Super-
intendent of the Poor, the Board of Managers have been car-
rying such compensation insurance for its employees and your
committee would suggest to the Superintendent of the Poor
that he procure such insurance for the employees at the county
home for whose injury the county might be held hable
While your committee feels in the matter as hereinbefore
stated, it does not feel that payment of the award, as made to
Mr Midlam and of expenses necessarily and properly incurred
by him, should be delayed and your committee therefore recom-
mends the adoption of the following resolution •
WHEREAS -It appea's from a notice served upon the Clerk
of this Board, that an award has been made by Referee John
W McCracken of the State Department of Labor, Bureau of
Workmen's Compensation, in favor of C A Midlam against
W D Baldwin, Superintendent of the Poor, Tompkins County
Home, for the sum of $390 21 for disability to May 29, 1929,
and
WHEREAS -Mr. Midlam has also presented to this Board
receipted bills of expense caused by his disability, as paid by
him, to the amount of $205 30, making a total of $595 51, for
which the Superintendent of the Poor is responsible, and
WHEREAS—Said amount is not available in the Poor Fund
to pay such award and claims, therefore be it
Resolved—That there be and hereby is appropriated to C A
OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 55
Midlam the sum of $595 51, as payment in full to May 29, 1929,
of all awards and claims caused by his disability, incurred
while engaged in labor at the county home, and the Clerk is
directed to draw an order at this time for the sum of $595 51,
payable to C A Midlam, and the County Treasurer is hereby
directed to pay said order out of any available funds in her
hands, and the amount of $595 51 so paid, is hereby appropri-

amined the assessment rolls of the several tax districts in the
County of Tompkins, for the purpose of ascertaining whether
the valuation in one tax district bears a just relation to the
valuations in all the tax districts in the county ; that in the opin-
ion of the members of the committee such valuations do not •
bear such just relations to the valuations in all the tax districts
of the county, and your committee would recommend that the
valuations of the several tax districts, in order that they may
bear such just relations, be increased or diminished according
to the foregoing statements so as to make the aggregate equal-
ized valuations as indicated in the tabular statement above

mined upon proper inquiry and investigation the ratio or per-

such tax district bears to its full value and would recommend

mined and in the opinion of your committee are as follows •

In compliance with Sect II of the Poor Law of the State
of New York, I respectfully report that I estimate the expense
for the town and county poor to be supported at the county
home and in the county for the ensuing year to be
For county __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ $7,000 00

$26,380 00
For many years past I have repeatedly asked the supervisors
to provide an infirmary or some other hospital facilities, where
an aged husband and wife requiring supervised care may be
cared for without separating them as we now have to do in the
county home The new law gives the Commissioner of Welfare
authority to provide for many aged persons in their own homes
when they have homes in which they can be properly taken
care of There is, however, a constantly increasing number
requiring supervised care This they should have without be-
ing separated because of lack of rooms, as is done at present
in our county home Such separation of aged wives and hus-
bands lacks little of being inhuman and cruel and is certainly
not in accord with modern humane ideas of the care of the
needy I therefore again urge the Board of Supervisors to
take immediate action to provide for this need
I also ask for an additional silo this year Although we have
been fortunate in hiring a neighbor's silo for storing a part
of our ensilage, the lack of a silo needed on the farm neces-
sitates extra work and expense in caring for the fodder
At this time it is impossible to make a reasonable estimate
of the appropriations needed for welfare purposes for 1930

268 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Annual Report of the Tompkins
County Tuberculosis Hospital
To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County,
Honorable Sirs,
In accordance with the law of New York State, we present
our annual report and financial statement
At the close of the year October 31st, 1928, we had,
6 men 7 women 1 child
Admitted 1929 _ 9 men 14 women 16 children
Died _ _ 2 men 5 women 2 children
Discharged 9 men 9 women 1 child
Census, Oct 31, 1929 4 men 7 women 14 children
Of these 19 patients were discharged, 2 arrested, 3 quiescent,
6 improved, 8 unimproved Three of the cases discharged un-
improved were at the hospital less than 90 days Seven of
our cases had been at the hospital previously
Satisfactory gain in the physical condition of patients who
came to us early has taken place in every case The fourteen
children have all gained and are in a fair way to recovery
It was deemed necessary to put a new floor in the recreation
room, and after the hail storm, most of the roofs had to be
re-covered
We have received many donations during the year from
individuals and organizations
Mrs Martha Marchev of Chicago gave the women a beauti-
ful radio
For several years, we have recommended that better provi-
sion be made for the children This now seems imperative as
all over the country, the early cases are now being sought by
X-ray examination in the contact child rather than in the active
case of the adolescent
We have had your committee on charities with us in con-
ference twice and at one of these meetings, Dr John Conway,
District State Health Officer was present
Doctor Conway explained the new law allowing the county
which already has a hospital to enter into a ten year contract
with another county for the care of their tubercular patients
And he recommended that a committee from your board confer
OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 269
with the board of adjoining counties in regard to such a con-
tract providing Tompkins County provide adequate facilities
for the care of such patients Also in this work with contact
children, we are greatly in need of an X-ray outfit .but as
present situated, we have no available room for such work
We do earnestly request that you grant us $1,000 00 for such
work to be done outside the hospital
Our total days treatment was 7,280 and our total expenditure
$19,240 07 making a per capita cost of $2 64
For the coming year we request an appropriation of $19,-
000 00 for maintenance and X-ray work
We extend our thanks to the members of the Board of Super-
visors for the interest and assistance in this work for care
and prevention of tuberculosis in Tompkins County
