Your Committee examined and compared all the vouchers presented by the County Treasurer with her book, and finds the same to correspond with the figures submitted by her and your committee therefore recommends that the report of the . County Treasurer be accepted. Dated, December 14, 1931. FRANK C. ELLIS; RICHARD C. SMITH, FITCH H. STEPHENS, Committee. G Moved by Mr. Ellis, that the report be accepted and adopted. Seconded by Mr. Smith. Carried. Mr. Moore, Chairman of the Committee on Charities, ren- dered the following report relative to the report of the Board of Managers of the Tompkins County Tuberculosis Hospital. Your Committee on Charities wishes to report to this Board and wishes to recommend that the appropriation to that insti- tution of the sum of $18,000.00 for the year 1932, the same amount as heretofore appropriated, is sufficient. Inasmuch as many of the larger items of expenditures dur- ing the current year was for repairs and household supplies which will be •unnecessary for 'the coming year, those items need not be taken into consideration in making appropriations for that institution. In view of the comparative low cost of food supplies' during the present year, your committee fails to understand why the cost of food at that institution for the year 1931 should be over $1,000.00 more than for the year 1930 and your commit- tee feels that the prices paid for food should be more carefully OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 115 scrutinized and the paying of excessive amounts for the cheap- er grade of food should not be allowed, no matter from whom purchased. Your committee therefore recommends the adoption of the following resolution : Resolved—That there be and hereby -is appropriated the sum of $18,000.00 for the maintenance of the Tompkins County Tu- berculosis Hospital for the year 1932. Dated, December 15, 1931. DAVID A. MOORE, A. L. HUFF, F. G. SNYDER, Committee. Moved by Mr. Moore, that the report of the committee be ac- cepted and the resolution adopted. Seconded by Mr. Snyder. Ayes -13. Noes—O.. Carried. Mr. Smith presented a list of the Town Audits of the Town of Groton, which was referred to the Committee on Town Ex- penses, Etc. Mr. Moore, Chairman of the Committee on Charities, ren- dered the following report relative to the report of the County Commissioner of Public Welfare and the Old Age Security. Your Committee on Charities wish to report to this Board relative to the report of the County Commissioner of Public Welfare as follows : Your committee. thoroughly disapproves of the manner in which the County Commissioner keeps his accounts and the manner in which he draws orders upon the County Treasurer; and also disapproves of the transfering by him of sums appro- priated by one purpose for expenditures for other. purposes. Your committee insists that the County Commissioner shall make his monthly report to the County Treasurer in detail, as 116 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS provided by Paragraph 40 of the Public Welfare Law, of each item of expenditure, and not by letter or number designation. The County Treasurer is the bookkeeper of the county and it is for her to determine to what funds or appropriations the ex- penditures of the County Commissioner of Public Welfare should be charged, and not for him to charge items in any ac- count that he may see fit. Your committee would recommend that this matter should be specifically called to the attention, not only to the County Commissioner of Welfare but also to the County Treasurer, and the latter official should be notified that in no case is she to allow the Commissioner of Welfare to overdraw.his account. While your committee believes that the figures submitted by the County Commissioner of Welfare in his report are correct, still it cannot help but feel that the amounts expended by him during the current year,and the amounts charged to the vari- ous towns and the City of Ithaca, are excessive. Your committee has carefully examined .the estimates, as submitted by the County Commissioner of Welfare, and it does not believe that the amounts requested by him are necessary in all cases. Your committee would therefore recommend theadoption of the following resolution Resolved—That there be levied upon and collected from the taxable 'property of Tompkins County, the sum of $33,740.00, apportioned as follows : For Town and County Poor Supported at the County Home $ 8,000.00 Outside Relief and County Home Maintenance 8,000.00 Hospitalization 8,000.00 Dependent Children 6,000.00 Physician at County Home 600.00 Medicine 400.00 Chaplain 150.00 Nurse in Men's Ward . 240.00 Transportation for Investigations 700.00 Commissioner's Expenses 300.00 Stenographer's Salary - 600.00 Office Expenses 550.00 Legal Fees 200.00 $33,740.00 OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 117 Relative to the estimates of the County Commissioner of Public Welfare on the Old Age Security, your committee also believes that the amounts asked by him are excessive and your committee would recommened that the amounts to be appro- priated for Old Age Security be as follows : For Allowances granted applicants of County Districts $23,000.00 Investigator's Salary 2,000.00 Traveling Expenses 700.00 Stenographer 600.00 Office Expenses 200.00 $26,500.00 Your committee also believes that the request of the 'Com- missioner for an additional appropriation of $500.00 for ad- ininistering temporary emergency relief, can be taken care of by the present office force and equipment and therefore is un- necessary and therefore should be denied. Your committee would recommend that all moneys paid into the County Treasurer, either by the State, County, Towns or. City, shall be credited by the County Treasurer to the Gen- eral Fund and not to the Welfare Fund of the county and only, paid out on the order of the Board of Supervisors. Dated, December 15, 1931.

Seconded by Mr. Conlon. Ayes -13. Noes—O. Carried. Mr. Ellis, Chairman of the Committee on Soldiers' Relief, Etc., rendered the following reports, relative to appropria- tions to be made to various organizations, associations, boards and committees : Your Committee on ,Soldiers' Relief, Etc., to, which has been referred the requests for appropriations for he year 1932 of various organizations, associations, boards and committees, wishes to report as follows : Your committee has given each and all of these requests a most careful consideration and while your committee does not feel it wise, at this time, to wholly deny any of the requests made it does feel that none of the appropriations should be in- creased and that some of them should be materially lessened. From the proposed budgets, as. submitted by some of these organizations,- your committee notes that the amount of salary paid to some agents, especially the Farm Bureau and Home Bureau, are greatly in excess *of the salary paid to the more important county officials, consisting of County Treasurer, Dis- trict Attorney, County Sheriff, County Commissioner of Pub- lic Welfare, County Superintendent of Highways and others. This situation should not be, as your committee feels that these OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 125 county officials are getting paid a fair remuneration for their services, especially in these hard times, with so many people out of work or only working part time. Your committee also greatly disfavors the amounts allowed some of these agents or employees for automobile service, as being greatly in excess of operating their automobiles in county work, and that this amount should not exceed $600.00 for each nurse. In these times, when the taxpayers in all walks of life, are compelled to reduce their individual budgets .in order to meet the financial, as well as the unemployment situation, it is no more than fair that these organizations should help this Board in keeping down the tax burden to a minimum.

OF TOMPKINS COUNTY,' NEW YORK 237 Annual Report of the Tompkins County Tuberculosis Hospital 1931 •To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County, Honorable Sirs : In accordance with the laws of New York State, we present our annual report and financial statement. The year 1931 marks an epoch in tuberculosis work and is highly auspicious for organized efforts to lessen the spread of the disease. The decision of the State to build a large regional hospital in Tompkins County makes the future exceedingly promising and bears out the belief in the motto of the State Department of Health that, "Public Health is Purchasable". Everyone must concede that the smaller number of tubercu- losis persons in a community the less liklyhood of becoming in- fected. Our county nurse reports a total of 105 cases in the county. If these cases would accept board, room and treatment in a hospital, it would be better for them and lessen the infec- tion to any others with whom they come in contact. On November 1st, 1930, our census was : 17 adults and 13. children. 20 adults and 3 children were admitted. 15 adults and 7 children were discharged. 6 adults and 0 children died. Census October 31st, 1931: 16 adults and 9 children. There were 7 adults who were in the hospital less than 90 days and 2 of these died. Of those discharged 6 were arrested cases and 9 improved and 7 unimproved: Our total days' treatment were 9,444 and the per capita cost $2.58. 238. PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS For the coming year, we request an appropriation of $20,000.00 We feel that the efforts of the Board of Managers in regard to the additional outlay on the Sanatorium have been fully justi- fied by the added comforts furnished the patients. And the Board of Managers of the Tuberculosis Hospital wish to express their gratitude to your Honorable Board for the willingness with which you have so generously supplied us with funds to make these added improvements.

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 10,000.00 OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 249 For children 8,000.00 For physician and medicine 1,000.00 For chaplain 150.00 For nurse—men's ward 600.00 Fir investigation and transportation 700.00 For Commissioner's expenses 300.00 For stenographer's salary 1,500.00 For office expenses 550.00 For legal fees 200.00 $39,000.00 For unpaid hospital and m.edieinal bills $3,449.75 On Oct. 31st there were in the office, hospital and medicinal bills amounting to $3,449.75, authorized by the Dept. for the year 1931 and still unpaid.' As you are aware, under the new Welfare Law of 1930, the care of all children of the county, both City and town, fell upon us to administer. The City con- tinued to care for their children until February, 1931, after the. funds for the care of children had been appropriated. Atthis time the State Department insisted that the City turn over the care of all children to this Department. This necessitated the. use of funds to pay their board, the board amounting to $4,- 171.79 more than last year. These funds might have been used for medicinal and hospital purposes. We asked the hospital to kindly allow us to hold their bills to the end of the year, that we might avoid an overdraft of accounts or the necessity of a re- quest for a special session of the Board of Supervisors to pro- vide means to meet this extra expense. Of the total amount of $3,449.75, $2,984.83 is chargeable to the City and several towns of the county, and as you will note, has been included with the bills chargeable to these respective towns.and City. 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 organ- ization. During the year a number of important additions have been installed at our Home. A new ]seating boiler has been added to our heating system making the system adequate to meet any emergency which is liable to occur. An entirely new\refrigeration plant has been installed as a Frigidaire cooler replaced the coaling system used in connection with our milk and butter room and we now have sufficient space to keep quantities of meat and provisions in an adjoining room. 250 PROCEEDINGS OF THE -BOARD OF SUPERVISORS In the laundry we installed a large extractor, the old one hav- ing been in use for more than tw enty years, was worn outand also not large enough. We were fortunate in being able to get from the manufacturers, for about half price, a nearly new machine which had been rebuilt. A new cement stave silo of capacity sufficient for the needs of the farm, was,erected which will certainly be very durable and is of fine appearance. With our constantly increasing population, it became neces- sary to procure new chairs for the sitting and dining rooms. Four dozen seviceable and good looking chairs were provided. The Superintendent of the Hone with the regular farm help and some assistance from some of the patients, cut a large quantity of wood from some of the hedges along one of the back fields of the farm. This wood has been used both for heat- ing and domestic purposes of the Home, greatlyreducing, as you will note, our coal bills for the year. He also was able to. obtain a quantity of fence posts from the same source,sufficient for the use of the Farm for some time, all of which is a large saving for the county as well as a greatimprovementto our Farm. I cannot justly give my report of our County Home without speaking a few words of commendation of the way it is being cared for, which should include both the management and the other employees. It seems to be the consensus of opinion -of all who visit the place that it has never in the past received the careful and painstaking care that both the farm and home are now receiving. Hospital Facilities at our County Home In our report of November, 1918, we urged the Board of Su- pervisors to furnish some adequate hospital facilities and on Nov. 26, 1919, we cited instances where nearly all of the Towns of the County should have cases in a County Hospital.' The State Inspector insisted on better hospital facilities and the State Superintendent wrote asking that Tompkins County pro- vide more adequately for their hospital patients. At that time the Board went so far as to engage an architect to draw plans and submit them to the Board for their action, for which plans the. Board paid the architect. We have continually from that time urged the Board to furnish the County with an infirmary that we might have several rooms whereold people might be together in their last days, and I hope that your Honorable body may be able to provide such a place at once.
