H L O'DANIEL, Clerk of Tompkins County Subscribed and sworn to before me this 12th day of November, 1937 SALLY ROBINSON, Notary Public OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 249 Report of Department of Public Welfare The Honorable Board of Supervisors County of Tompkins, State of New York Gentlemen : In making my annual report for the year ending October 31st, 1937, there seems to be few notable differences from the reports of pi evious years The total expenditure is slightly larger, but the work is now on a permanent basis and is to continue as one of our important public departments DuP to the W P A work program and the increase in private employment, home relief has been greatly reduced in the towns and city this year , hospitalization has remained about the same because of its emergency nature , the work with neglect- ed children has also continued about the same, with out -of - settlement expense slightly under last year Old Age Relief has increased in case load, but the expense to the County has been lowered due to State and Federal reimbursement In the following pages will be found a summary of the year's activities in this Department, and I trust the report will be satisfactory.

This change is necessitating considerable re -adjust- ment not only for the department but for the doctors There has been one new local ruling that will considerably affect amounts recovered as reimbursements from property `,Previously only mortgages were required from an applicant N1 OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 265 ov,ning unencumbered property During the past year several of the older recipients who owned property have died and this department has been unsuccessful In making settlement of the estates for various reasons From now on therefore where property is unencumbered this department is requiring a deed before assistance will be granted Aside from facilitat- ing final settlement, this ruling has discouraged border line cases from applying for and accepting assistance In August, 1937, Federal Auditors made their first visit These were no major exceptions taken It was necessary to obtain further proof of age on several cases and about 60 affidavits were required from recipients where for one of several reasons the person had not signed his own check or had not had his mark witnessed For over a period of eight months there have been no com- plaints received by the State Department pertaining to work in Tompkins County Department of Old Age Assistance The total number of applications received up to November, 1937 is 808 During the year 118 new applications were received and disposed of as follows Granted 46 Denied 33 Withdrawn 16 Pending 23 Re -applications received total 46 and were disposed of as follows.

During the past year 22 children were returned from boarding homes to rela- tives' homes, one to a free home, 6 to work homes and 4 to adoptive homes With so much responsibility on the foster parents, it can readily be seen that they must be very carefully selected; they must be more interested in the child they are caring for than in the money they are receiving for his care They must be able to make the child feel that he is a part of their home, that they are as concerned with his welfare as though he were their own child. They must recognize the handicaps which the child has and be willing to accept him despite them Care must be taken in placing children, not only in boarding OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 269 homes but in all types of foster homes, such as free homes or work homes. Even in homes where the child is earning enough to support himself, the foster parents take the responsibility for his training, much as would a parent whose own child of 15 or 16 is earning money and living at home Under a new State law, effective May 1st, 1937, the County Welfare Department is responsible for issuing certificates to boarding homes in which it places children This is a func- tion formerly carried on by the health officers Sixty-three homes have been certified and 56 of these are now in use UNMARRIED MOTHERS An important group of children's cases are those of un- married mothers and their babies The complicated situations of these young girls call for the most thoughtful and inten- sive kind of work Planning for the confinement and then for the living arrangements for the mother and assisting her to make a plan for the child's future often means frequent con- tacts and supervision over a long period There were 15 new cases of this type during the year and 18 cases carried over under supervision from the year before At the close of the year, 12 remained active ADOPTIONS Unhappy experience in placing children for adoption near their own relatives, and recognition that this type of place- ment requires special attention, led to an arrangement years ago with the State Charities Aid Association whereby children placed from the County for adoption are placed through this Association's Placement Bureau Ten children were thus sent to them during the past year for adoption SUMMARY OF STATISTICS There were at the beginning of the year 121 cases During the year 80 new cases were reported Seventy-eight were closed making a total of 201 carried during the year. 123 were active at the end of the year The distribution of cases carried during the year and their legal settlement was as fol- lows • City of Ithaca 83 Caroline 9 Danby 8 270 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Dryden 10 Enfield 8 Groton 7 Town of Ithaca 18 Lansing 13 Newfield 9 Ulysses 12 Out -of -Settlement 20 County 4 During the past year the Department supervised 277 children with relatives, 135 in boarding homes, 24 in free homes and 9 in work homes. Twenty-two children were in private institutions and 10 were placed with the State Char- ities Aid Association to be placed for adoption or in free homes. It is interesting to note that on November lst, 1936, there were 95 children with relatives while on November 1st, 1937 there were 145 children with relatives The number in boarding homes increased from 94 on November 1st, 1936 to 101 on November 1st, 1937 $22,730.00 was spent in car- ing for children in foster homes. Of this amount, $3,372.31 was paid by parents of the children. BOARD OF CHILD WELFARE Applications for allowances from the Board of Child Wel- fare are investigated by Children's Workers The new State law has increased the type of families eligible for this kind of assistance, consequently, the number of families receiving allowances has increased during the year from 18 to 34. Visits to the families are required by law at intervals of not more than three months Reports are made at the monthly Board meetings AMERICAN RED CROSS The Home Service work of the local Red Cross Chapter continues to be carried by one of the workers During the past year a total of 138 families were advised or given tem- porary aid, mostly for, medical care. The Red Cross con- tinues to provide the transportation for the workers. STAFF An additional worker was added to the Children's Depart- ment in August to share the work which has been increasing OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 271 steadily. More thorough investigation and more careful supervision is now possible The Agents work in close cooperation with the Town Wel- fare Officers, City Department of Public Welfare and Child- ren's Court. Out of 80 new cases during the year, 36 or nearly half, were referred by various public officials The guidance of the Commissioner and the support of the Joint Committee of the State Charities Aid and Welfare Committees have greatly assisted the agents in maintaining standards of care necessary for the best service to the children of Tomp- kins County.

Our old forms and reports are rapidly being replaced by new ones which are used for all divisions As we have a separate report for our out -of -settlement work which is handled directly by the county office I am giv- ing figures on only the work covered by our 9 towns. During the year our 9 towns carried an average of 100 families and 26 single people In March, we had our largest case load of 154 families and 35 singles, and in July, we had our lowest expenditure for 55 families and 22 singles For the month of October, there has been a steady decrease over the last three years. OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 273 Year Families Singles Expenditures 1935 118 41 $3,063.70 1936 90 29 1,732 86 1937 69 23 1,706 01 We spent $25,128 75 for Home Relief in the 9 towns during the year; 40% of which is reimbursable by the State Depart- ment with minor deductions. When we note that November lst, 1936, we had 522 people working on Federal Projects in the county and at the same time this year, we had only 202 ; 14 of whom were youths on a part time basis , it seems that private employment must have increased during this time to absorb the men no longer on the proj ects. Out of our 92 cases in October, we had 25 people who are employable. We are making an attempt to place everyone possible by referring them to private employment and the State Employment Office We hope to be able to increase our WPA quota this winter rather than have people who are able to work, receive home rehef Our county office acts as a mediator between the State De- partment and the towns; to relay and interpret rulings which could not be sent to each town individually. We register all cases getting relief and check to see if they received relief from any other agency in the County. We check banks as a routine and adjust insurance policies if it is advisable The claims from each town are audited, combined, and submitted to the State Department for reimbursement Lists of Federal Surplus Clothing are sent each Town Wel- fare Officer to keep him informed of garments available All cases reported by the County Health Department as needing medical care which they cannot secure, go through our office and are then referred to the Town Welfare Officers or Red Cross if they are unable to pay for the expense them- selves We have provided clerical help for some of the Towns as 1 he records are becoming increasingly complicated The same forms used by OAA, AB and ADC have just become manda- 274 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS tory for Home Relief I think that the Town Welfare Officers are to be commended on their very difficult work We must remember that they have only part time jobs and all have other work which may occupy them when relief work is pend- ing. Now that we have been established on a permanent basis and the worst emergency period is over, we are gradually getting away from handing out assistance without a more thorough investigation We are trying to re-educate our re- lief minded people to start thinking what they can do for them- selves instead of how can they get more relief We have found that sometimes it pays in the end to spend a little more at the moment if we can rehabilitate a family In other words, we axe trying to think about our families in terms of the cost and the results over a long period of time, and endeavor to make definite plans with the family so they again become self reliant Respectfully submitted, ARLEETA RANNINGS, Case Supervisor. OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK 275 Out of Settlement Worker ANNUAL REPORT TO BOARD OF -SUPERVISORS November 1, 1936 — October 31, 1937 My duties as investigator in the Home Relief department consists of the investigation of out -of -settlement cases, Aid to the Blind, State Charges, Out-of-town inquiries and hos- pital cases not belonging to the towns As you know, the term "out -of -settlement" designates those people who have not resided in the town or city for one full year previous to receiving public assistance. There is no explanation necessary to you gentlemen regard- ing "Blind Assistance" since previous to July lst of this year, the Board of Supervisors has been the authorizing agency for this type of relief Now this function has been transferred to the Public Relief Agency and is carried on under the super- vision of the County Commissioner with eligibility determined on about the same basis as Old Age Assistance. Starting July lst of this year, the term "State Charges" designates those persons not having settlement in any wel- fare district in the State Relief given in this category is 100% reimbursable from the State - The terms "Out-of-town inquiry" and "Hospital emergen- cies" are self-explanatory In the out -of -settlement department for the fiscal year ending October 31st, there was an average of 22.5 families and 3 single persons receiving public assistance each month with a total yearly expenditure of $6,389 62 for families and $479 05 for singles During the year we received 42 new ap- plications and 37 reopened, 19 were rejected and 78 closed. Some of those closed reapplied within the year, so 78 is not an accurate index of those closed at the end of the year Since July 1st, 1937—$315 59 has been spent on family unit state charges and $15 98 on single units—with 1.5 aver- age of family and 5 average of single cases 276 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF ,UPERVISORS In the department of Blind Assistance, since July 1st there has been an average of 3 grants per month with $273.95 the total expenditure to November 1st. We have had 15 applica- tions with 5 approved; 3 discontinued; 1 denied as ineligible, 2 denied at the New York office pending outcome of opera- tions and 4 pending further investigation We had 62 out-of-town inquiries and hospital investigations. From January lst, 1937 until November 1st, 1937, the work- er from this department traveled 3,375 miles in performing her duties. This mileage did not include the first three months of the fiscal year when Miss White, former Case Supervisor, investigated the cases, but she undoubtedly travel- ed at least 700 miles which would make a total of over 4000 miles traveled Respectfully submitted, MISS LUCIE Out -of -Settlement Worker.
