One was transferred to Ray -Brook, one to U S Veteran Hos- pital Two of the cases discharged unimproved were at the hos- pital less than 6 months, 3 of the cases have been at the hospi- tal previosuly. The sun treatment was given to all children and those adults who were suitable, with splendid results, and satisfactory gain in the physical condition of patients who came to us early has taken place in every case. We have received many donations during the year from in- dividuals and organizations. A new Victor Radio has been put into the Men's Ward, so now there is one instrument in each Ward, and is thoroughly enjoyed by the patients The hospital has had a coat of paint outside, and some paint- ing done inside The back porch was enclosed with glass, to make it comfortable for the extra children. 1 OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 259 The teacher's work has been progressive among the 11 chil- dren for the year, ranging from kindergarten to 7th grade The problem of making some better provision for the chil- dren, still seems to be imperative We took this matter up last year with the Department of Health, and they did not seem ready to give us any definite plans So we have been obliged, and still are oblidged, to get on the best way we can with the ichildren - The $1,000 00 which you granted us last year for X -Ray work to be done outside of hospital, has been used in the fol- lowing manner, and agreement was made with Dr Leo Larkin ,to X -Ray approximately 400 children in the County, 76 of this number have been X -Rayed at $5 00 per child, leaving a bal- ance of $772 00 This small percentage which has been X -Rayed is due to the illness of Dr Keith Sears. Our total day's treatment was 9,360 and our total expendi- ture $19,457 93, making a per capita cost of $2 08 For the coming year, we request an appropriation of $18,000 00 for maintenance and X -Ray work. We extend our thanks to the members of the Board of Su- pervisors for the interest and assistance in this work of care and prevention of tuberculosis in Tompkins County. DR H.

II of the Public Welfare Law of the State of New York, I respectfully report that I estimate the expense for the town and county patients to be supported at the county home and in the county for the ensuing year to be: For county $ 8,000 00 For outside relief and county home 8,000 00 For hospitalization 7,500 00 For children 6,000 00 For physicians and medicine 1,000 00 For chaplain 150 00 For nurse—men's ward 600 00 For investigation and transportation 700 00 For Commissioner's expenses 300 00 For stenographer's salary 1,200 00 For office expenses 550 00 $34,000 00 I would call your attention to an appropriation which should be included in your budget for an assistant in our office The arrangement for her salary is now made with another or- ganization - In addition to the above estimate I would ask for $1,200 00 for a County truck to be used at the County Home OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 269 I would call your attention to the following improvements and repairs which have been made on our County Farm Both the Home and barns have been thoroughly repaired. The Home has been thoroughly painted outside and in The farm build- ings also have been painted. New linoleum has been laid in the hall, office and two dining rooms New window screens have been placed in all of the windows Three hospital beds, one of them a fracture bed, have been provided for the wo- men's hospital ward. A new automatic sprinkling system for fire protection has been installed which will greatly reduce the insurance rates and which equips our plant with one of the most modern, up to date fire protection systems. At this time I wish to again call your attention to our pres- ent hospital facilities in our County Home. Under the Old Age Security Law we cannot assist any person with this relief who is in need of custodian care. A great portion of the people who are denied this assistance is for, the reason they should have some kind of hospital care. You all know what our capacity is at the Home at the present time for giving this kind of care. We should have at once some kind of an infirmary to meet this deplorable situation, -for if we' cannot grant the Old Age Se- curity allowance, they must be cared for adequately somewhere else The Home is full to its capacity now, and if some of the present patients of the hospital ward could be moved to this infirmary, it would give us this extra room and help to re- lieve this situation. I am asking you to take some definite ac- tion as soon as possible. The single factor from which we receive the greatest as- sistance for our County Farm, both in food for the patients and financial help, is its herd of 12 cows You will note in my report for this year that from these 12 cows a revenue of $2,644 15 has been derived at an average of a little more than $220 per cow $ 488.06 butter sold 730 00 milk used in Home 240.00 cream used in Home 471.79 butter used in Home 408.00 skim milk used in Home 249.30 veal sold 57.00 buttermilk $2,644 15 As every good farmer knows there is no better way to im- 270 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS prove and keep up the fertility of a farm than by the judicious keeping of cows At the present time the capacity of our silo is not sufficient for our present herd and I would ask that an additional silo be built, not only large enough for this herd but of such size to allow us to increase this herd materially. These same conditions prevail as to pasture land Without any extra expense for machinery and labor, we could profit- ably care for more land which would materially increase the farm revenue WM D BALDWIN, Commissioner of Welfare State of New York, County of Tompkins ss. William D Baldwin being duly sworn says that he is Com- missioner of Public Welfare of Tompkins County, that the fore- going statement is in all respects a true and full statement of receipts and expenditures audited by him during the year end- ing Oct 31. 1930, as such Commissioner.
