Adams We, the Grand Jury of the County of Tompkins in conjunc- tion with a session of the Supreme Court, held on November 14th, 15th and 16th, do report that we have carefully examined the County Jail and Court House and we find both buildings in reasonably good condition considering the age of the buildings and the purposes for which they are used We commend the Sheriff and his Deputies for the good con- dition in which we find these buildings and for the courtesies extended to this Grand Jury during its session We were particularly impressed with the careful and schol- arly remarks of the presiding Justice in his charge to the Grand Jury at the opening of Court. We also commend the Police Officers for the careful way in which they have performed their duties as officers, and also the District Attorney and the Grand Jury Stenographer for the painstaking way in which the evidence has been presented and transcribed, also to our Foreman, Assistant Foreman and Clerk for the careful way in which they have performed their duties We have carefully considered the matter of the proposed financing of the new Court House and County Jail and while there may be differ ences of opinion among our members as to the advisability of constructing at this time a Court House and Jail but inasmuch as we are advised that these buildings are now actually under construction and that without any doubt they will need to be paid for in due time by the tax payers of the County of Tompkins, we hereby wish to express our opinion 116 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS that in our judgment, if the payment of these buildings is to be a claim against the County of Tompkins, then we unanimously have voted and feel that the financing of these two buildings should be by a bond issue and not by a direct three years tax, because we feel that such a three year tax would be too bur- densome upon the tax payers of the County of Tompkins, of which we are a part.

Fourteenth Day Monday, December 19, 1932 MORNING SESSION Roll call. All members present, except Mr. Howell. Minutes of December 16 meeting, read and approved Mr. Pierce, of the Committee on Finance, rendered the fol- lowing report of that committee, relative to the resolution re- ferred to it on December 8, 1932, in regard to reduction in the County Budget Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred the reso- lution relative to reducing the County Budget for the year 1932- 1933 to a minimum, renders the following report: Your committee is heartily in accord with the spirit, as ex- pressed in the resolution, of cutting off or reducing all expenses of county government (including appropriations) wherever possible, and your committee feels that there should be radical reductions in welfare and highway appropriations for the com- ing year. Your committee also believes, that there should be no allow- ance in a lump sum to any county officer for expenses, and that all claims for expenses should be itemized and audited by this Board in the same manner as other claims against the county are audited, thus avoiding any criticism in the future from the State Department of Audit and Control on that score OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 187 Relative to a reduction of salaries of County officers and em- ployees, a difficult situation confronts your committee and this Board In the first instance your committee does not feel that the salary of any officer or employee receiving, as a maximum, the total sum of $1,000.00, per annum should be reduced. Tomp- kins County has been one of the outstanding ,counties of the state in regard to the paying of small salaries to its officers and employees, as a comparison with any of the neighboring coun- ties will show. For this reason, the people of the county can- not expect any drastic reduction in that direction, although they might expect some Other conditions entering into the situation are : 1 Salaries of the County Judge and the Judge of Childrens' Court, as well as the per diem allowance to the members of this Board, are fixed by law. 2. Salaries of elective officers cannot be reduced under the law, during their term of office. 3 Nearly, all county officers and employees are under the Employee's Retirement System of the State and the amount paid to them on their retirement from service is based on the salary they received. Inasmuch as this Board cannot legally reduce the salaries of some of the officials and it would be manifestly unfair to reduce some and not all • your committee would recommend that the amount paid as salaries to all county officials and employees, as well as to the members of this Board, for the year 1933, be the same as paid for the current year, subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth. Your committee has talked with member s of the three groups hereinbefore enumerated and all of those talked with have sig- nified his or her willingness to contribute to the county one- tenth of the salary received by him In the judgment of your committee, this is all that could be expected of any of them. For the foregoing reasons, and desiring to show its good faith, your committee would recommend that each member of this Board contribute to the county the sum of $1 00 of each per diem compensation paid to him for the year 1933. 188 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Your committee would further recommend that each county official and employee, receiving a total salary of over $1,000 00 per annum, contribute to the county one-tenth of the salary or compensation paid to him or her during the year 1933. Your committee would also further recommend, that in the event of any member of this Board or any county official or employee refusing to contribute, as hereinabove set forth, the County Treasurer shall forthwith notify this Board of such refusal, so that the same may be published, and that this Board shall take such action as it may deem proper in the matter.

During the past year, we feel that the patients have been satisfied and 'contented with the result that many have recov- ered and a large majority have improved. During the year, there were : Admitted 21 adults Discharged 13 adults Died- 4 adults 4 children 4 children 1 child Of those discharged, ten were improved, four unimproved. There are at present thirteen tents. ' considered recovered, three rve male and fifteen female pa - Our total days treatment were 9440 and the per capita cost $2.56. Our total cost of maintenance was $24,705 26 which was $5,682.01 less than last year. We received $3,641 97 from pay patients, mostly from other counties. We feel that this income might be increased. So, by action 'of our Board, we recommend that you appoint a committee to investigate the financial 'ability of patients admitted to pay at least a part of their maintenance. :,%. , L ,f The Board of Managers and Superintendent express their gratitude to you in behalf of the patients for your kindly in- terest and support.

Large washing machine in the laundry Water heater for the laundry Heating stove for the sprinkling system Ensilage cutter for the farm Potato planter for the Farm The women's dormitories newly shingled The men's hospital repainted Three rooms in the administration building repapered Since installing the sprinkling system in our County Home for water and fire protection, the two large compression boilers in the basement of the men's building have been of no use If they were removed, the space they occupy could be made into three rooms, by partitions, at no great expense. These rooms are what we are in great need of at the present time, for deten- tion and tramp cases We are now using the corridors, but the beds in these corridors are so near the beds of the dormitories, that it is almost impossible to keep the vermin which this class of people usually carry, from escaping to other beds. This tramp problem has become very serious At the present time there is hardly a day or night that there are not several—some- times five or six at a time. This condition is the same all over the State. I ask that you give this proposition serious thought and action at once. I should feel that I was remiss in my duties if I did not con- tinue to urge the Supervisors to furnish the County with an in- firmary to relive the hospitalization situation which under the present conditions is so very expensive For we not only are greatly in need of some suitable place to care for the convales- OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 359 cent, but we must have the extra room which such a building would provide You will note that one of the largest bills I have to pay is for hospital and medical care, a lad ge part of which could be cared for at much less expense in suitable inexpensive accommodations State of New York, County of Tompkins ss WM D BALDWIN, Commissioner of Welfare William D Baldwin being duly sworn says that he is,Com- missioner of Public Welfare of Tompkins County, that thfore- 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, 1932, as such Commissioner.

The economic depression of the times is one of these Not only has the unemployment situation deprived some of the persons seventy years of age and over, who were previously employed, of opportunity for earn- 362 PROCEEDINGS OF TIIE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ing a livelihood, but it has affected unfavorably the ability of children and other responsible relatives to contribute to the support of such aged persons. It is impossible to determine the extent to which the administration of the Old Age Security Law has added to the burden of public relief of the County, be- cause there is no way to ascertain how many of the recipients of Old Age Relief would have been compelled in the present unemployment situation, to ask for aid under other provisions of the Public Welfare Law The towns have been relieved of the cost of caring for these aged persons in their own homes, whereas the expense upon the County Welfare District has been increased to the extent of one-half of the costs, which expense is that portion of their living that they cannot provide themselves However, it is important that economists and in- surance experts study this situation in the light of the experi- ence of other States having compulsory insurance laws, with a view of lessening the burden of future generations for public relief.
