OF T9MPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 257 Annual Report of the Tompkins County Tuberculosis Hospital 1935-1936 December 1, 1936 To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County, Honorable Sirs : We feel it is fortunate that we can present this our last re- port to you with no regrets, for through the efforts of your Board and officials in Ithaca there has been built in our County a modern, fireproof State Hospital with every facil- ity for the care and treatment of tuberculosis This will pro- vide care for all of our county cases near their relatives at a cost nearly the same as we have had. Dr J K Deegan, physician in charge at the Biggs Me- morial Hospital, began taking our pateints as soon as rooms were ready, and all adults were transferred before October 31st. Any employees who wished to go were given positions Our per capita cost of $2.40 this year seems to us very good as the cost of food supplies was higher. The report of 127 recovered cases being sent home during the past eighteen years is perhaps the smallest part of the good done by our hospital. When one considers the segregation of 481 people with active tuberculosis, and the probable in- fection they would have spread, no one can evaluate the bene- fit, but it certainly must have made many less cases We have held monthly meetings at our hospital and every- thing seemed to have gone smoothly. The teacher has carried on regular school work for the children. A teacher of handicraft from the State Department of Health has been at the hospital for four weeks to teach adults, and during the summer, Mrs Austin Rand, a trained teacher of handicraft and nature study, had charge of the children for two months We understand a project has been approved for the con- 258 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SJPERVISORS struction of a Preventorium for the care of under -nourished children, and our Board unanimously requests that such equipment as may be of use be given to this organization Our Board of Managers are unanimous in expressing grati- tude to you for your generosity in supplying funds for the protection of our residents against tuberculosis, but we more appreciate your invariable courtesy and understanding when- ever our problems have been brought before you And we commend the work of our Superintendent, Dr Sears, the nurses, and other employees who have conscien- tiously served the hospital for many years Respectfully submitted, BOARD OF MANAGERS, By R C SMITH.

OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 275 Old Age Security Worker TO TOMPKINS COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS November 1, 1935, to November 1, 1936 The Legislation passed by New York State May 25, 1936, enabled the Old Age Security Department to use the funds made available by the Federal Social Security Bill. Briefly, the changes brought about by this Bill are as fol- lows : 1. Name of Old Age Security Department was changed to Old Age Assistance. 2. Effective May 25, the residence requirement was changed from ten consecutive years to five out of the last nine years. It is also necessary to have lived one year directly before applying somewhere in the State, but not necessarily in the County or Welfare District. 3. On October 1, 1936 the age limit of eligible persons was changed from 70 to 65. 4. Previously, the counties charged Out -of -Settlement cases directly to another county. Now it is to be a mat- ter of bookkeeping in the State Department. At this time we have 25 cases iri other Welfare Districts who have a settlement in Tompkins County. Fifteen of our cases are chargeable to another district. 5. The Federal ruling states that they will pay one-half of all relief given directly to recipients. They also pay 21/2% of this amount for administrative costs, which are approximately 8/%. The balance of administra- tive cost is paid by the State and County equally. 6. This makes it imperative for all possible relief to be paid directly to recipients. At the time of this ruling, about one-fourth of our allowances were being handled by another person, usually a relative, with the approval of the client to possible better advantage. At present all of our checks are made out to the recipient We also were paying from $300. to $600. a month in supplement- 276 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS al relief, consisting of doctor bills, hospital, taxes, cloth- ing and fuel This amount has been decreased consider- ably by changing the allowance and letting the recipient pay his own emergency bills the month following The Federal Government pays about 50% of regular relief and the County pays 25%, but the State pays 7% of the supplemental relief as the Federal Government pays noth- ing. The ratio of expenditure is about : Federal 47 5 State 27 5 County 25. 100% 7 The County now pays for burials of Old Age Assistance cases if they or their relatives are unable to do so If there is property that can not be immediately liqui- dated, the County pays for the burial and has a prior claim of property for this expenditure 8 It was necessary to enlarge the department to take care of the increased load Another worker was added July 1, 1936 November 1, 1936 this department had received 690 appli- cations, 150 of which came during the last year These were disposed of as follows : Granted 73 Denied 26 Withdrawn 12 Died before decision was made 1 Pending 38 150 During the past year, 283 individuals received an allowance at some time 335 cases were handled during the year, some of whom did not receive a grant 42 out-of-town inquiries were answered. OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 277 In October, 1935 there were 186 cases with an average al- lowance of $15.77. This year at the same time there were 234 cases with an average allowance of $15 86. These cases were distributed among the towns .

The highest average was $18 07 in March This included two hos- pital bills and several medical bills incurred in February. The amount spent for allowances the previous year was $3'',861 13 The amount spent this year is as follows: Allowances $40,665 92 Workers' Salaries 2,025 00 Stenographer 1,041 00 Traveling Expense 439.79 Office Expenses 318 40 During the year we received • Reimbursements from State Department Federal Advance Allotment Refunds, property, insurances, estates Payment from other Counties $44,490 11 $11,647 44 6,702 48 730 29 187.35 $19,267 56 278 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS We have had large increases in the last two months, and on December 1 we had 260 recipients receiving allowances, 26 out -of -settlement cases and 31 cases still pending. I believe the consensus of opinion is that we can expect a constant and gradual increase, at least during the next few months. Respectfully submitted, ARLEETA RANNINGS, Worker. OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 279 , Annual Report of Children's Agent TOMPKINS COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Nov. 1, 1935—Oct. 31, 1936 Among the various duties of the Children's Worker, the principal one is the supervision of children either in their own homes or in some type of foster home The Worker finds and investigates these foster homes according to certain stand - 1 ards. In addition, she is Home Service Secretary for the i American Red Cross, and is Investigator for the Board of Child Welfare. Of all the families referred to the Children's Worker during the past year, only in four of them were both parents alive and living together This alone indicates why most of the children need the attention of the Welfare Department, and why it is so difficult to find a solution for the children that is normal and permanent The best method yet devised by those who have long dealt with these dependent children, is to provide a home life which is the nearest substitute for their own fam- ily. This method of providing a foster home is likewise as economical a method as any used Many applications for boarding children are on file Out of these applications is selected the home best suited to a particular child when it is found that a child needs placement The members of the household, their age, disposition, flexi- bility, and methods of child training are considered, as well as the school and community life available The selection of a foster home for a child is made in each particular case, regardless of whether board is paid or not, and supervision of homes of all types is a responsibility of the worker. The boarding homes far outnumber the free homes which are more difficult to find. During the past year, 64 boarding homes were used and 54 were in use at the end of the year. A large majority of these are situated in the Towns of the County rather than the city Their distribution is as follows : 280 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Towns Boarding homes in Boarding homes in use during year use at end of year Caroline 4 4 Danby 5 4 Dryden 8 7 Enfield 9 8 Groton 10 8 Ithaca Town 4 3 Ithaca City 13 9 Lansing 6 6 Newfield 3 3 Ulysses 2 2 64 54 The average number of children in each foster home dur- ing the year was 1 6 In 25 of the homes only one child is boarded at a time In six foster homes there are as many as four boarding children, usually so placed to have brothers and sisters together During the past year, 138 children were boarded and 87 continued at the end of the year These children lived 5,165 boarding weeks in these homes, or an average of 37 4 weeks apiece Many of the children have been under care for years and will know no other home than the one which is selected and provided for them by the worker in the department dur- ing these formative years of their lives The turnover in cases of children is in— (a) Those whose problems are temporary (b) Those who are committed to State Institutions (c) The babies and children sent to New York to be placed for adoption (d) Those for whom it is possible to make permanent plans. The boarding children are actually less than half of the children under supervision Twenty-six were in private insti- tutions, but most living with relatives During the past year there were 423 children in 223 families under care 115 of these families were new this year At the end of the year 229 children were continued under care The Children's Worker has all the children's cases for the entire County The propor- tion of children legally residents in the city at the time they OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 281 come to attention, is about equal to the children who are re- ported from the rest of the County This ratio is about the same for the number of children who are boarded, and is the same ratio as the total population of the City of Ithaca and the County At the end of the year, however, the total number of children carried forward under care for the City is 104 out of a total of 229, or 45% of the total _The distribution of families and children under care can be seen in the accompanying table Another group of problems which the Children's Worker has are the girls over 16 carried, as Adults Out of 20 new cases of this kind during the past year, four came for advice and assistance in regard to education or family difficulties, and the other 16 were unmarried mothers for whom plans for confinement and after care were requested This involves tactful inquiry into the circumstances, often a Court hearing, in many cases placement in a maternity home, then plans for the girl afterwards and also plans for the baby As Home Secretary for the local chapter of the American Red Cross, the Worker handled 121 cases, of which 16 were ex -service men and 20 were transients Most of these were requests for medical assistance As Investigator for the Board of Child Welfare, nine new investigations were made and re- ported upon The two Workers who have been here during this year, overlapped by three months thus providing that much additional service Together they handled 348 cases during the course of the year The present Children's Agent has been here only a few months but sufficient time to realize the variety of services provided through the position There has been a Children's Worker in Tompkins County for many years, yet the work could not be carried on without the continuing enthusiastic support of the Children's Committee and the hearty coopera- tion of the officials of the Welfare Department, the County and interested individuals Respectfully submitted, EVELYN PERRY, Children's Agent. 282 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS DISTRICT New fam taken on Free and Work Homes Private Inst Boarding Homes Desch from Boarding Care Children cont'd under care Caroline Da nby Dryden Enfield Croton Ithaca Town Ithaca City Lansing Newfield Ulysses Out -of -Settlement County 6 3 6 3 9 7 26 9 8 7 21 11 9 12 6 15 15 78 20 10 14 30 3 35 23 20 13 20 33 159 36 12 26 41 5 2 7 147 2 5 15 20 2 8 361 4 4 17 7 3 122 1 2 18 3 • 2 ad Its 1 2 99 1 1 5 8 2 8 383 8 7 2adt 4 1 13 565 2 8 11 22 17 20 65 2446 22 4-3 57 104 1 1 17 596 3 13 15 22 1 adilt 4 2 63 1 1 8 4 1 adilt 1 5 241 12 17 1 4 38 4 29 12 2 ad Its 1 2 2 104 2 2 3 115 223 423 34 26 138 5165 40 87 189 229 OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 283 Report of Case Worker TO TOMPKINS COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISOS October 31, 1936 My report for the year 1936 will be a combination of the re- lief work done in the Towns and the Out -of -Settlement work which is handled directly through the Commissioner's office. During the year, our case load of families on relief has av- eraged 141 families and 44 single persons per month, with the highest number for one month, in February, 1936, being 274, and the lowest, 119 in July. This drop was largely due to sea- sonal employment and the increase in W.P.A. Projects The total Home Relief costs for the year were $36,060.75, and in addition to this, $1,269.83 was spent in November, 1935, to conclude the County Work Relief Program. On November 1, 1936, there were 139 cases receiving Home Relief, costing $2,129.21, or about $1,000 less than last No- vember with 80 less families. Of these 139 cases, 16 were liv- ing in Ithaca and were chargeable either to other Counties or to Towns in Tompkins County. On this same date, 522 men were working on W P A. or Resettlement, and on Soil Erosion jobs. There have been two outstanding changes in policy during the year—one being the drop from 75% to 40% of State re- imbursement, taking effect December, 1935, and the second being the appointment by the W.P A of Mr. Williams as County Certifying Officer. The first change of course, meant an increased cost to the Towns and the second change involved the County Office in considerable additional work. It meant that every man certified by the Town Welfare Officer as an employable relief case, must come in person to the County Office, be interviewed by Mr Williams or myself, his signature secured, his case certified and sent on to Bingham- ton for placement on a W.P A. job. Then when a job was available the man had to be notified by the County Office, as to when and where to report for work. 284 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS In some respects, this system of certification has its advan- tages, as we can now give preference in work to the man with the large family, or to the man who is costing the Town con- , siderable money in Home Relief As County Case Supervisor, I have continued to work with the Welfare Officers, three of whom are new within the year. I feel that the work of these three was made easier by the rec- ords which the previous Town Welfare Officers had kept during 1935. Each Town Welfare Officer now has a steele file bought by the Town Board and each family card and his- tory is kept in a separate folder We have done some work on securing cash for lapsed insurance policies, and have checked banks monthly through the County Office, for all relief cli- ents, in an effort to make use of all resources I have also as- sisted the Town Welfare Officers in preparing their Town data for State Audit, in investigating their most difficult cases of eligibility and settlement, and in assembling monthly State reports. In the main, the job of a Case Supervisor, is to keep the Town Welfare Officers in touch with all changes in State and County Welfare policies, and to act in an advisory capacity concerning any problems which arise in the administration of relief RUTH J.
