HISTORICAL SKETCH °
OF
TOMPKINS COUNTY
Historical Sketch
of Tompkins County
The County of Tompkins was organized by an Act of the
Legislature, from Cayuga and Seneca Counties on , April • 7,
1817.
Cayuga County was erected from Onondaga County March
8, 1799 and Seneca County from Cayuga County on March 24,
1804
Onondaga County was originally a part of Herkimer County
and was erected March 5, 1794
Herkimer County was erected February 16, "1791, from
Montgomery County.
Montgomery County was erected March 12, 1772, from Al-
bany County
The original name of Montgomery County was Tryon Coun-
ty, but its present name was adopted April 2, 1784
Albany County was one of the ten original counties of the
State, and was erected November 1, 1683
Thus it will be seen that Tompkins County was originally
a part of Albany County.
The other nine original counties of the State were Dutchess,
Kings, New York, Orange, Queens, Richmond, Suffolk, Ulster
and Westchester, and were all erected at the same time as
Albany County.
Tompkins County was the fiftieth county erected in the
State and at the time of its organization, comprised the towns
of Ulysses, Hector (now in Schuyler County), Covert (now in
Seneca County), Dryden, Lansing and Groton.
Ulysses was formed in 1795 and comprised its present terri-
tory as well as what is now the towns of Enfield and Ithaca,
including the present City of Ithaca.

HISTORICAL SKETCH OF TOMPKINS COUNTY
Dryden was first surveyed in 1790 and was known as town-
ship No. 23, Military tract. In 1791 it became a part of the
town of Owego, Tioga County and in 1794 was made a part of
Onondaga County, from 1799 to 1817 it was a,part of Cayuga
County Groton was formed from Cayuga County under the
name of "Division" in 1817 and its present name was adopted
March 13, 1818. Lansing was also formed from Cayuga
County in 1817
Enfield and Ithaca were formed from Ulysses, March 16,
1821.
Caroline, Danby and Cayuta (Newfield) were organized
from the Town of Spencer in Tioga County, February 22, 1811
and were annexed to Tompkins County March 22, 1822.
A part of Caroline was annexed to Danby in 1839 and a part
of Danby was annexed to Caroline in 1856 A part of Newfield
was annexed to Schuyler County in 1853
The City of Ithaca was erected in 1888 from the town of
Ithaca.
The first principal officials of Tompkins County were :
County Judge—Oliver C. Comstock,
County Clerk—Archer Green,
Sheriff—Henry Bloom,
F Surrogate—Andrew D W Bruyn.
The following is a list of the Supervisors of the several
towns of Tompkins County from the date of the organization
of the county to the present time
This record is published at this time, with the belief that it
may be of interest to the public in general, and of historical
value for future reference A former record published in the
Supervisors' report of 1915 was incomplete, because of the
fact that, at that time no records were available prior to 1857,
the date of the publication of the first proceedings of the Board
of Supervisors However, recently the re -organized DeWitt
Historical Society placed in our hands the original long hand
minutes of the Board of Supervisors' of Tompkins County from
its first meeting, April 28, 1817.

Resolution carried.
Mr. Watrous offered the following resolution and moved its
adoption :
Reolved—That the Board of Supervisors of the County of
Tompkins go on record as opposing the taking over of the
construction and maintenance of the county system of high-
ways for the following reasons :
1. We believe that the County Superintendent of High-
ways, together with the Board of Supervisors, is more familiar
with the local county needs, and that under the jurisdiction of
such County Superintendent, roads which serve such county
needs, would be' more apt to be constructed than by the De-
partment of Public Works
OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 9
2 Under Chapter 364 of the Laws of 1929, the State Legis-
lature passed what is known as the tax on Gasoline That ac-
cording to Section 289-D of the Tax Law, "Moneys paid into
the state treasury pursuant to this subdivision, shall be ap-
propriated and used for the construction, maintenance and re-
pairs of highways and bridges under the direction of Superin-
tendent of Public Works " That this money, though voted for
highway purposes, has been diverted and used for other than
highway purposes That by the same chapter, a percentage of
such money goes to the county to be used for the same purpose
That under the supervision of the Superintendent of Highways
and the Board of Supervisors, this money has been, continuous-
ly used for the construction and maintenance of county roads.
That inasmuch as the State has NOT used the money for the
purpose intended, while the county on the contrary HAS, we
feel that should the moneys to be used by the county for county
roads be placed under the control of the Department of Public
Works and the Legislature at Albany, it might also' be used for
purposes other than intended.
3 That inasmuch as county roads are local improvements,
that the construction and maintenance, together with the
choice of which roads are to be maintained and constructed,
should be left with the county, and some rights of local gov-
ernment preserved to the people in the local units
4 That the cost of the construction of highways' by the
Department of Public Works is more expensive than by the
county, for the reason, that large sums are expended in the
survey of such roads and the purchase of rights of way, while
under the county supervision, such moneys are not expended
5 This Board feels that there has been too much centrali-
zation of power of government in Albany and that rather than
centralize further, there should be a de -centralization, and
powers which have been heretofore surrendered and such
centralized state government should be returned to the counties
and the' local. municipalities rather than the giving of more
powers to such state government.
6 That counties have purchased the necessary machinery
to build and maintain the county system of highways, and if
such systems is now taken over by the state, it will mean that
the county would be left with all such expensive machinery
with n� use for the same, and it would therefore become a loss
10 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
to the county.
7 That before the Department of Public Works or the
Legislature even considers the taking over of the county system
of highways, it should first take over the purchase of the rights
of way and the entire cost of removal of snow on the state
highways, before it attempts to take over the building and
maintenance, of more roads under its supervision
8 That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to our
Assemblyman and Senator as well as other Boards of Super-
visors of the State and other persons interested

Resolution carried
Mr. Watrous offered the following resolution and moved its
adoption :
Resolved --That this Board go on record against the State
taking over the Town highways for the following reasons.
1. We believe that the construction and maintenance of dirt
roads are and should be classified as local improvement We
believe that to the people and local officers should be preserved
the rights of local government and that the right of home
rule should be preserved rather than centralized in the state
departments and committees at Albany
2 That the local superintendent of highways is in closer
touch with local highway needs than any department at Al-
bany.
3. That should the local people desire a dirt road to be im-
proved at present, they go to the town board, the supervisor
or superintendent of highways who know local needs, condi-
tions and costs and pass on the same If this power is vested
OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 11
111 a department at Albany it will mean that these people will
have to petition a department in Albany, unfamiliar with local
needs and to attend hearings at such a place as the state may
choose with cost to them of time and expenses, etc
4. That at present local men are employed who pay their
taxes from the wages received from such employment and
many are employed now who would be un -employed and there-
fore on the relief roll The town superintendent knows his
men and their needs for work
5 ' That if the state assumes full charge, with the entire
cost of dirt roads, it will mean an increased expense to the
cities and villages of the State of New York
6 That in the opinion of this board it will cost more to
have the state take charge than to have local people perform
those duties
7 That the towns of this state have millions of dollars in-
vested in town buildings, gravel banks, and road building
machinery together with snow fighting equipment which they
have been compelled to buy to clear the county and state high-
ways which would be of tittle value sold as second hand equip-
ment.
8. That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to ,our as-
semblyman and senator and other persons interested in this
matter.

Mr. Stevenson offered the following report of the Special
Committee appointed to confer with the A.A A Bureaus.
Your Committee appointed by this Board to confer with
Mr. Bond and Mr. Allen of the Land Purchasing department

Your Committee held a meeting with Mr. Bond and Mr
Allen, in the Supervisors' Rooms at Ithaca, N. Y , January
26th, 1935 at 10 :45 A. M. Mr_s Bond stated that 30 people
were employed in his and Mr Allen's departments and that of
these 30 people 15 were residents of Tompkins County, that
excepting those employees who were skilled in appraising land
or taking land descriptions, etc it was, their intention to em-
ploy Tompkins County people
These gentlemen told the Committee that some 30,000 acres
were to be purchased in five counties including Tompkins, and
that probably 10,000 to 15,000 acres would be purchased in
Tompkins County, largely on land classified as No 1
As to taxes on this land Mr Bond said he did not know what
the attitude of the state would be but thought the state would
continue to pay the local taxes
As to the employees it was stated that employees were not
asked as to their political faith or party but that the endorse-,

ment of Mr Bretz, Chairman of the Democratic party in
Tompkins County was required on each applicant for a posi-
tion ; when asked if they thought this was proper considering
the fact that public money was used to support these projects,
these gentlemen replied • That this was a matter oyer which
these men personally had no control as it was a policy adopted
by the administration In Washington and that Mr Bond and
Mr Allen were instructed to secure Mr Bretz's endorsement
of employees, that the administration took the attitude that
they had set up these projects, and were therefore entitled to the
patronage required to successfully carry them to completion

The Clerk reald a communication from the State Tax Com-
mission relative) to meeting a representative of the Commis-
sion with the Assessors of the towns of Caroline, Danby and
/ Dryden for adjustment of valuations to lands owned by the
State and held for reforestation purposes.
Mr C W. Thomas, of the T E RA office rendered a report
on meetings held in Albany 'and Binghamton, with reference
to work relief.
Mr Chase presented a statement with reference to the Cath-
erwood articles as published in the Ithaca Journal -News, re-
lative to comparative tax budgets of 1933 and 1934
Mr Osborn expressed his thanks to Mr Chase and moved
that the statement be published in the Ithaca Journal -News
so that the public may know the facts and also to have the
statement included in the minutes of the proceedings
"Having read the Articles published by Prof M P Cather -
wood in which he says he was authorized to make a study of
the increased Tax Budget for 1934 by Mr Myers, Chairman
of the Board of Supervisors, I feel compelled to call the atten-
tion of this Board to certain statements made by Mr Cathei -
wood which are misleading and incorrect
First •—I resent the inference that this Board made and
adopted a Budget without knowing what it was all about and
that we had to appeal to Cornell University to inform us It
Mr. Myers asked Mr Catherwood to make a study of the Tax -
Budget, he did so as an individual Supervisor and not as Chair-
man of -the Board of Supervisors as this Board had not author-
ized him to do so
Second :—Mr Catherwood says the Budget for 1933 was
$333,625 If you will check the appropriations itemized an
that Budget, you will find the actual Budget was $283,625 and
t
OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 69
not $333,625 , the 'difference being $50,000 00 which was a di-
rect appropriation to the General Fund for 1933
Third :—Mr. Catherwood says $59,000.00 was left out of
the 1933 Budget, and included in the 1934 Budget. Let's look
at this very carefully In 1933, the Welfare Commissioner
asked for an appropriation of $138,714 and the Committee
having that Department in charge, for very good reasons, ap-
proved $69,150 or $69,564 less than the Commissioner asked
for, knowing that certain funds would be available to take
care of the balance should that amount be needed, without
putting it in the Budget and taxing the people for it
In May, 1934, the Committee found that $59,150 would be
sufficient to take care of the Welfare for the balance of the year
and this amount was appropriated on that date. Mr Cather -
wood says this was included in the 1934 Budget but here Mr.
Catherwood is mistaken ' It is not included in the 1934 Budget
Why? For the the simple reason that the $50,000.00 surplus
raised in the 1933 Budget, together with a balance in the
Building Fund and certain refunds from the State were more
than enough to take care of this $59,000.00 and did, and the
taxpayers were benefited to that extent
In 1934, the Welfare Commissioner asked for an appropria-
tion of $140,114 and the committee appropriated $139,318 for
the reason that no appropriation was made to the General
Fund and no balances were available from which to transfer
This made it necessary to put all this appropriation in the
Budget. This then shows us that without the General Fund
appropriation, the 1933 Budget would have been $283,625;
and even including the $59,000 which Mr Catherwood says
should have been in anyway, ,it would have only reached $342,-
625 and not $432,775 as stated by Mr Catherwood

Now, why was the 1934 Budget high?
First :—Because the whole Welfare appropriation was in-
cluded in the 1934 Budget.
Second :—Because $70,000 was included for work relief ap-
propriations to the T.E R.A. instead of $26,767 for T E.R.A.
in 1933. Check these figures and you will find that T.E.R.A.
work relief increased the Budget $43,233 while Welfare in-
70
PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
creased the Budget $70,168 because it was necessary to put all
the Welfare appropriation in the Budget. These two items in-
creased the Budget $113,401.. Highways added 411,200 and
Crippled Children appropriation $7,197. These items account
for $131,798 out of a total increase of $131,859 and not one
penny of this rightfully belonged to the 1933 Budget
Mr. Catherwood says that Highway appropriations have de-
creased during the last few years because of T.E R.A. assist-
ance in road building. This is wrong as the T.E R A does not
effect this part of the highway budget in anyway whatever,
as T.E.R A. carries a separate appropriation under the heading
Work Relief. The decrease in highway has been due to a de-
crease in appropriations for rights of ways, snow removal and
bridges
Summing this up, we find the 1934 Budget is high by $131,-
859 over the 1933 Budget.
That no part of this belonged or could have been included in
the 1933 Budget
That T.E.R.A. has increased the budget and not decreased it.
I would like to say that this statement is not meant in any
way to discredit Mr. Catherwood in his work but I feel he
,should have consulted some members of the Finance Com-
mittee of the Board of Supervisors who were familiar with the
making up of the Budget."

Mr. Miller offered the following majority report of the
building committee :
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors,
Tompkins County, N. Y.
Your Committee on County Buildings calls attention to the
fact that at the time ,the New County Court House and Jail
were opened a Superintendent of the Buildings and a Chief
Engineer were employed ; that at the time these men were
employed it was impossible to anticipate how much work would
be required of them or what help would be necessary to prop-
erly care for the buildings and their equipment After what
we believe to be a fair trial of this system of service, your com-
mittee believes that a considerable savings might be made and
a great deal of misunderstanding and duplication of service
among employees avoided if these two positions were con-
solidated and placed under one head
Your Committee therefore recommends that for greater
efficiency and economy that one person be placed in charge of
all County Buildings in the City of Ithaca (except the Highway
Buildings) with power, subject to the approval of the Build-
ing Committee, to hire and discharge if necessary, janitors,
firemen, watchmen and caretakers of these buildings, and that
such person in charge of these buildings be responsible to the
Building Committee for the faithful performance of his duties.
Your Committee would also recommend that the Building
Committee be empowered to effect such consolidation of these
two positions and to employ a suitable person to fill this posi-
tion to be known as Superintendent of County Buildings in the
City of Ithaca, other than the Highway Buildings.
Your Committee would further recommend that because of
the added responsibility falling upon such a person that the -
committee on Salary and Wages be directed to fix the salary
OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK I, 115
of the Superintendent of Buildings at $125 00 per month, ef-
fective when such consolidation is made.

344 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Annual Report of the Tompkins
County Tuberculosis Hospital
November 1, 1934 to October 31, 1935
To the Board of Supervisors,
Honorable Sirs;
In accordance with the laws of New York State, we present
our annual report.
On November 1, 1934, we had 22 patients.
Admitted 8 men 12 women 7 children
Discharged , 9 men 7 women 7 children
Died 1 man
Census—October 31st, 1935. •
10 men 8 women 7 children
During the year, 2 patients were re -admitted.
Four patients were transferred to other hospitals.
Of those discharged 11 were recovered, 6 were improved,
and 6 not improved.
Of the six patients discharged unimproved, 4 went to other
hospitals for treatment. That 11 were discharged as re-
covered is a very good record.
The total days treatment 8598 and actual cost of main-
tenance $20,227.95, making a daily cost per patient of
$2 36 This, is slightly less than last year :
There is a satisfaction to us in these statistics. One death
is the lowest for any year since the opening of the hospital.
This indicates that patients come to the hospital earlier in the
disease and therefore have a better chance to improve.
The financial statement shows that our per day cost is less
than last year.
It has become necessary for our hospital to assume re-
sponsibility for the treatment of cases of tuberculosis requir-
ing pneumothorax. These are cases mostly with cavity forma-
tion who require weekly infections into the pleural cavity
in order to keep the patient from using the diseased lung. To
giv' this treatment, it is necessary to have an Xray, so this
OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 345
work is being done in Ithaca by Doctors McCormick, Frost
and Moore., This makes an addition to our expense this year
of $585 50 and for the next year will be nearly twice as much.
When the new hospital is completed, this treatment will be
done there.
The Division of Tuberculosis at Albany has suggested that
your committee communicate with them in regard to caring
for the patients from this county.
We suggest that you write the Department of Health soon
so that our patients may have the benefit of facilities in The
Biggs •Hospital. This Hospital we understand is now 95 per
cent completed.
We thank you for your interest and co-operation.
Respectfully submitted.
BOARD OF MANAGERS.
R. C. SMITH.

Old Age Security Worker
TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
October} 31, 1934 — November 1, 1935
I wish to submit the following report to the Board of Super-
visors for their inspection :
We all realize, as a result of the Social Security Act, Dr.
Townsend and the newspapers, that this particular Division
has become of great interest to the public.
The Social Security Act, passed in the last session of Con-
gress, contains two parts that will vitally effect this Depart-
ment.
(1) Old Age Insurance: This will not become effective un-
til January 1st, 1942. At that time, persons 65 years of age or
over who have worked at least five years after 1937, will be
eligible. This amount will be paid as an annuity ranging from
$10 to $85 a month. The insurance is to be secured, beginning
January 1937, by payments of employees and employers de-
pending on the wage of the worker. The amount of this an-
nuity depends on his previous salary.
(2) Grants to State for Old Age Assistance: The purpose
of this is to enable each State to furnish assistance, as far as
practical under the conditions of each State, to aged needy
individuals. The Federal Government will pay half of such
allowances, not to exceed $15 per person. It also provides a
minimum age limit of 65, -compulsory in 1940, but optional
with the State until that time.
Our State Legislature passed an act enabling the State to
accept the Federal assistance, if and when the appropriation
is granted. /
It is to be expected that there will be no material change in
our present system, except in residence requirement and the
fact that probably our funds will come about one-half from
Federal, one-fourth from State, -and one-fourth from County.
Up to date, this County has received 542 new applica-
tions; 360 have been approved; some were originally with-
OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 363
drawn, or were denied and were later re -considered; 154
denied; 18 withdrawn and 10 died before a decision was
reached.
During the year we received 73 new applications which were
disposed of as follows: 36 were approved; 33 denied; 3 with-
drawn and 1 died before a decision was reached. We also
granted 12 additional cases that had been re -considered
During the month of October 1935, we had 186 cases which
were distributed among the Towns as follows :
\
Dryden 35
Groton .. 30
Ulysses 29
Lansing 24
Newfield 22
Caroline 17
Danby 15
Ithaca 11
Enfield 3
Of these cases, 13 are receiving allowances chargeable to an-
other Welfare District. We also have 14 cases that are in
other Welfare Districts and are chargeable to Tompkins
County.
The work done in the past year consisted of the following:
(1) Thoroughly investigating each new application or re-
application.
. (2) Investigating each recipient and responsible relatives
at least every six months.
(3) Making visits and answering inquiries from other Coun-
ties.
(4) Making a great many service calls, which include secur-
ing the services of a doctor, optician, nurse or hospital, mov-
ing a recipient, and investigating complaints of all kinds
The total expenditures for Old Age Security during the
year was $37,861.13. We received refunds from estates total-
ing $655.37. We also received $288 63 reimbursements from
364 PROCEEDINGS OF THE kOARD OF SUPERVISORS
other Counties The expense to Tompkins County was $18,-
314.25
- In October 1934, there were 180 cases with an average allow-
ance of $14.33, not including Special Relief ; this October there
were 186 cases, with the same average allowance Including
all the Special Relief, the average allowance was $15.80. The
lowest monthly average during the year was $14.05; the high-
est monthly average was in August and was $16 82.
We gave relief to 228 different cases during the year ; al-
though there were not as many as this at any one time This
is due to a constant turnover, resulting from the mortality,
change of residence or conditions, and new applications. Of
+urse this does not include all the clients the Worker has had
contact with, as a great deal of work is done for apphcants or
•e -applicants, who never receive any relief
vv elfare officials and workers in this field have become aware
of a recent change in public opinion toward the work. Many
people who would not consider applying to the Town for help,
think they should receive Old Age Security believing they are
entitled to -it if they have reached the age limit. Although
eventually, this may evolve into a pension, as yet, need of the
applicant and ability of the responsible relatives are the main
factors for our decision.

Annual Report of Children's Agent
' TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
NOVEMBER 1, 1934—OCTOBER 31, 1935
This year completes the first year's work by the present
Children's Agent. During the past fifteen months she has
worked in this County with children in their own homes, in
boarding, free and work homes, with children in institutions,
with unmarried mothers, with children in Board of Child Wel-
fare cases and in the Court
CHILDREN IN THEIR, OWN HOMES
Many children are referred to the Agent in order that some
plan may be made for them; sometimes the request comes from
the parents, but more often from interested friends, neighbors,
or officials who know of improper conditions in the family.
Aside from the common causes of complaint, that is, a dirty
home or an immoral condition, a child may need some special
attention; quite often attendance at the Child Guidance Clinic
is indicated, and here behavior problems are interpreted and
treated. As a result, this year eight children have been com-
mitted to schools for the feebleminded, four going to Newark
State School and four to Syracuse State School. This latter
institution takes only the trainable child under twelve or thir-
teen, and equips him with some vocation which will fit him to
earn his living when he leaves the institution.
New families receiving assistance from the Children's Agent
this year originated in towns as follows :

366 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
At the beginning of the year two hundred one children
were under 'supervision ;' and at the end' two hundred forty-
three children, plus eighteen adults, are receiving care. A
total of three hundred fifty-two children were supervised dur-
ing this period.
CHILDREN IN BOARDING HOUSES
As a last resort in working with a family, it may be neces-
sary to break it up, and then the children must be placed in
boarding homes. Tompkins County may well be proud of its
forty-nine boarding homes, where patient, motherly women
labor, not only in giving good physical care to boarding chil-
dren, but in striving to inculcate in them principles of char-
acter that will make them good citizens. Not only should
Tompkins County be proud of its boarding homes, but of the
community spirit , toward boarding children. The fact that
these children are being boarded by the County does not here
lower them in the social scale, as so often happens in other
places. On the contrary, the community seems to take special
pride in these children and their problems. One of the aims of
boarding care for children is that the community accept them
just as it does children in their own homes, and not distin-
guish them from others in any way.
During the year one hundred thirty-four children, placed
In boarding homes were under -supervision; there were forty-
five new placements and forty discharges The tabulation
below shows many discharges to relatives which is a hopeful
sign as it indicates re-established homes Four older boys
have this year been placed with widowed fathers who are
thereby assuming a proper responsibility in furnishing them
with good care and supervision. Against the total expense
of $20,91106 for boarding, clothing and medical care
$751.18 was collected from parents, either directly or through
Court orders, and $63 00 from other Counties In the cases
of three children included in the total of boarded children,
there was no expense to the County as the board was paid
directly by the parents Eleven new home investigations were
made this year.
The following is a tabulation showing the number boarded
during the year :

Not included in the tabulation are ten children being board-'
ed, in most cases at a reduced figure, with relatives. This has
been encouraged whenever homes are suitable, for''it is not
only the most natural place for the child, but it will also mean
that the family may assume the financial responsibility for the
child themselves sooner than if he were entirely away from
the family.
CHILDREN IN INSTITUTIONS
During the year there have been twenty-nine children in
institutions under the supervision of this Department; seven
were discharged leaving twenty-two under care The entire
cost of this care was $3,714 28, of which $176.00 was contri-
buted by parents. Service only was given in one of these cases.
In two others, children are in deaf and dumb institutions, and
the cost is in connection with clothing. The end of the year
leaves nineteen children in the Children's Home and one in a'
Roman Catholic institution in Rochester.
CHILDREN IN FREE HOMES
During the year there have been seven new placements in
free homes and six discharges, increasing the number of
children from twenty-two to twenty-three in this type of home
368 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
One discharge is worthy of note, for through the State Depart-
ment is was possible to return a child in an undesirable free
home to his own father in another State Quite probably this
boy would have become a public charge had he remained here
for any great length of time.
CHILDREN IN WORK HOMES
There have been two new placements in work homes during
this period and one discharge, leaving three children under
care.
UNMARRIED MOTHERS
Making plans for unmarried mothers before and after the
birth of the child takes a great deal of time. Thirteen of these
were under supervision at the beginning of the year and dur-
ing this time sixteen new cases were handled; eight originated
in the City and eight in the County. Because of some satis-
factory plan, eight cases have been dropped. Of these, two
were out -of -settlement ; one was returned to a neighboring
County, while another was sent to Pennsylvania through plans
made by the State Department. Two girls who have their
babies with them, have married but not to the fathers of their
children. Of the twenty-one cases still under supervision,
fourteen are very active, as it has not been possible to make
a final plan in their cases. Two babies have been transported
to New York City for placement in adoption homes by the
State Charities' Aid Association. Eight cases have been
taken into Children's Court for the establishment of paternity
and support; three have been won, two were unsuccessful, and
three have as yet been undecided.
CHILDREN'S COURT
The Children's Agent works quite closely with the Children's
Court, which is of great assistance in working out plans for
our children. Parents are brought in for non-support; peti-
tions for commitment to State Institutions are handled here,
and, in some cases, in order to obtain the custody of neglected
children, it is necessary to ask the Judge of the Children's
Court for this legal power. Often the Court asks the Chil-
dren's Agent to make investigations.
BOARD OF CHILD WELFARE
As Investigator for the Board of Child Welfare, thirteen
OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 369
new investigations were made this year. The Agent also at-
tends the regular monthly meetings of this Board.
AMERICAN RED CROSS -
During the year the Agent handled for the American Red
Cross, ninety home service cases, nineteen ex -service cases,
twenty-two transients', and four inquiries, or a total of one
hundred thirty-five. ,
Adding this figure, one hundred thirty-five, to the number of
cases handled by the Agent for the County as follows : One
hundred ninety families with children in own, boarding homes
or institutions; twenty-nine unmarried mothers; thirteen
Board of Child Welfare cases; the Agent has had contact with
three hundred sixty-seven cases during the year.
This year in Tompkins County has been of great benefit to
the Children's Agent; the great variety of work required of
one in this position has been made easier and more pleasant
by the fine co-operation of interested persons and public
officials.

ANNUAL REPORT TO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
November 1, 1934 to October 31, 1935
When New York State, through the T.E.R.A., began to con-
tribute a certain percentage of State aid to County and Town
relief funds, they also set up some very definite rulings and
standards which must be complied with, if State aid were to
be continued.
So in order to assist the County and Town Commissioners in
meeting these requirements, a Social Worker, familiar with
T.E.R A. procedures, has been sent into most of the New York
State Counties. This Worker, or Case Supervisor, goes into
a County with the purpose of working directly with Town
Welfare Officers and'assiting them not only in meeting techni-
cal relief requirements, but also in helping them to settle the
problems of their most difficult relief families.
I came to Tompkins County as Case Supervisor in February
1935, and have spent these ten months in working with the
nine Town Welfare Officers. I have helped them keep their'
budget cards and records of relief given up to date and ready
for State audit, and assisted them with their monthly reports
to the State. I have advised them as to brief written records,
of their relief families, and arranged stenographic help for
them, so that this invaluable knowledge of theirs regarding
relief families, might 'be on file in case the Welfare Officers
changed from year to year. I have also aided them in getting
Insurance Adjustments for their relief families who are either
carrying Insurance, or holding lapsed policies, so that if any
cash is available, these families might obtain it, and thus
care for themselves without Town help, at least for a brief
period.
The County office has, also audited all of the Town claims for
reimbursement, and forwarded them to New York, and has
acted as a clearing house for men placed at W.P.A.; that is,
by certifying the Town relief cases and by notifying the Wel-
fare Officers of all W.P.A. placements.
In general the Case Supervisor tries to act as a medium be-
tween the Towns, the County office, and the State District
Office, so that we may all three work together for the efficient
and practical administering of relief in Tompkins County.
' OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK

The Home Relief costs for the fiscal year ending October 31,
1935, were $59,671 52, with the highest monthly cost of such
being $7,680.70, spent for 412 families in January. During
the remaining months, the cost has gone all the way down
the scale to $3,107.73 spent for 196 families in August. The
Work Relief costs for the fiscal year were $112,154 62; which
figure constitutes only the actual Work Relief wages reimburs-
able at 75%.
During the heavy - winter months, some of the Welfare
Officers have cared for as many as 83 families in one Town,
while during the summer months, one Welfare Officer reduced
his number of families to 12.
Our monthly reports have shown us that about one-fifth of
the people on relief are unemployable—that is due to age,
or mental or physical disability, will never be able to care for
themselves without public help So there will undoubtedly
have to be a relief program for this one-fifth for some time to
come.
At the close of the fiscal year, 349 families were receiving
relief, and since September 1, 324 men have been placed on
W.P.A., so our relief load at present is considerably smaller.
I feel that my report would not be complete without men-
tioning to the Board, the work done by their Town Welfare
Officers. Their job is a hard one—on the one hand they do
not want any suffering among their relief families, and on the
other hand they must consider the local tax -payer. So it is
often difficult to find the right answer in giving or with -hold-
ing relief especially since the Welfare Officer cannot devote his
entire time to this work. Under these circumstances it seems
to me that they deserve considerable credit for their sensible
decisions, and I have found it a real pleasure ,to work with
them these last ten months. -

372 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Report of Case Worker
TO THE TOMPKINS COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
The Out -Of -Settlement work for Tompkins County was
carried on by two consecutive workers for the welfare year of
1934-1935. Miss Hoag was with the Department from No-
vember 1, 1934 to April 1, 1935. I have been with the Depart-
ment since April 1.
HOME RELIEF
83 home relief cases were handled during the welfare year
Most of these people resided in the City of Ithaca, while their
settlement went back to some other County or one of the towns
of Tompkins County. During the welfare year 35 of the home
relief' cases active at the beginning of the year were closed.
In looking over the records, the worker is interested to note
that of the majority of home relief cases still active with this
Department are ones which were opened two ore three years
ago. In other words, we might say that the "chronic" are
still with us. Since I have come to the Department in April,
eighteen new home relief cases were opened. At present
there are only three cases still active. The majority of these
eighteen new cases involve home relief for just a short period
of time, due usually to illness or unemployment in the family.
At present, at the end of the welfare year, there are 30 home
relief cases active. In all cases of home relief, in families
where there are employable members, there is one member or
more employed It has been interesting and enjoyable in many
ways to take care of the home' relief, because the case load
has been so small that the worker has had the opportunity to
do some case work. This may in some measure account for the
fact that we have been able to close fifteen 'of the eighteen
cases which came on just since April. 113 Tompkins County
families received home relief during year in other counties.
WORK RELIEF
73 cases were opened for work relief during the year. The
majority of these were for "white collar jobs" which include
the Nursery School, Adult Education and Educational Survey
Projects. At present, most of these projects have been closed
except the Nursery School. We have tried as far as possible
to give people work on these projects only when they qualify
, OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 373
for relief. Since the beginning of April there have been fif-
teen applicants who applied for work relief on these special
projects who were found, after investigation, ineligible for
relief and were never given any work relief.
TRANSIENT WORK
The transient work for Tompkins County has been handled
by the Out -Of -Settlement Worker. Nine transient families
were assisted during the Welfare,year. To date there, is only
one transient family receiving any relief and this is supple-
mentary as the man is employed in private industry The men
in the majority of the transient families are now working in
private industries. A member of one transient family is in
C C.0 Camp and his family are, getting along on his earnings
Two transient families were returned to their own place of
legal settlement during the year Transient relief has stopped.
Any of these families now re -applying for relief will be
handled as TER A 'cases at 40-60% reimbursement
OUT OF TOWN INQUIRIES
A very interesting feature of the Out of Settlement Work is
to take care of the Out of Town Inquiries which come to the
Department During the Welfare year there were 68 out of
town inquiries, representing 12 states It is interesting to
note that the majority of the out of town inquiries were ,from
Pennsylvania and California One may be inclined to think
that this is unnecessary and that there is no constructive work
done as a result of these inquiries. However, most of these
involve settlement. They are usually in regard to returning
a person to this vicinity who is thought to have a settlement
in Tompkins County by the agency sending the inquiry. , In the
majority of cases, investigation shows that the person does
not have any settlement here. Perhaps if this work were not
done, we would have more people than we already have being
sent into our community by other agencies who believe that
their legal settlement, is here The 68 out of town inquiries
involved 76 letters and 78 visits for the worker in order to
answer these inquiries' satisfactorily.
I have enjoyed doing the Out of Settlement Work for Tomp-
kins County as it is most interesting and also quite varied
My work sometimes takes me into the towns, where I come in
contact with and I must work with their Town Welfare
