All members present except Mr Ellis excused Mr. Downey, Chairman of the Dog Quarantine Committee, submitted the following report : , "Your Committee on Dog Quarantine wishes to make the following report: We examined the dog claims in the County Treasurer's office and found there was a total of seventy-seven claims paid ,by the county from January 1, 1943 to April 1, 1944, of these only nine reported the owner of the dog known. Each of these was reported to the District Attorney by the County Treas- urer and a copy of his letter, sent to each dog owner, was ex- amined by this committee. We also found that one of these dogs was killed in the act of destroying property. This leads us to believe the County Treasurer has fulfilled her duties in this respect. We' would like to recommend that the dog warden be called by the assessor examining damage cases, because we feel the warden would be able to find the dog owner in many cases. We also recommend that the Clerk of the Board of Super- visors notify the assessors of the towns that they are to get in, touch with the Dog Warden at the time they go out to adjust these claims. 1 CHARLES G.

During the year 479 explosive licenses were issued, which the Federal authorities have informed me is one of the highest amounts in the State. In conclusion, I wish to thank the Board for the fine coop- eration given during the past year. Respectfully submitted, STATE OF NEW YORK SS : COUNTY OF TOMPKINS W.

NORRIS, Tompkins County Clerk Subscribed and sworn to before me this 16 day of Jan., 1945. SALLY ROBINSON Notary Public Tompkins County, New York 25? ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF WELFARE To the Honorable Board of Supervisors Court House Ithaca, New York In submitting the attached financial report for , the year ending December 31, 1944, attention is called to the fact that since 1938 the report has covered the first ten months, with a supplementary report for the remaining two months. In connection with the report, we feel that the following comments are in order. I wish to commend the loyalty and devotion to duty of the members of the staff who have remained in the service in the face of many opportunities, both in the military field and in the community, for increased compensation. The department has been most fortunate in keeping trained workers. Notwithstanding the fact that the heavy pressure of un- employment relief has been largely eliminated by various in- dustrial activities, the most stubborn problems of rehabilita- tion are to be found among the individuals remaining on the assistance rolls, other than chronic cases. The welfare picture has changed somewhat during the last couple of years and we are now faced with new and special problems growing out of war conditions. New and more subtle family and personal problems have appeared. Children in particular have been victims of the prevailing circumstances. Crowded schools for delinquents, need of day care centers, foster homes, the failure of parents to properly train and accept responsibility for the care of their children is reflected in the conduct of many children. We have 106 children in foster homes and an additional 75 under supervision, -181 children from 90 families. The cost for December was $2,801.21. The job of coping with this situation is suddenly thrust upon us and will continue to increase in the future, ,unless drastic action is taken for correction at its source. This situation is by no means local, but nation wide. There is neither time nor 260 .Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors space to discuss the situation in a report of this kind, but as a matter of record I would recommend that everybody read , "How Parents Change Children into Mental Misfiits," in the December, 1944, issue of Reader's Digest - The city of San Francisco has found a most amazing new way to combat juvenile delinquency. Instead of punishing the kids, it makes their parents go to school. "How to Make Parents Behave" in the January, 1945, issue of the American Magazine is an authentic story. Some such arrangements as are suggested in these articles should be written into the laws of New York State and, in my opinion, Tompkins County should be one of -the early sponsors of such legislation The present Old Age Assistance law, passed in 1930, has now been in force fifteen years and a bit of history may be of interest The first report, issued for the period ending Decem- ber 31, 1931, shows the number of applicants 70 years of age or over to be 278. The number of cases approved that year was 154; the number of deaths ten, leaving 144 cases on January 1, 1932 The average grant was $19.16 In 1936 the eligibility age was reduced to 65. In that year the number of cases increased from 194 to 260 Since that time the laws, rules and regulations have been considerably liberalized; but the records now indicate that the peak has been reached. The Old Age Security law should gradually reduce the number of eligibles. , At present we have two unique cases on our rolls,—a father, aged 95, and his daughter, aged 70 Also a mother, aged 85, and her daughter, aged 66. Under a new procedure, we were able during the past year to extend Old Age Assistance to an incompetent person. This was done through County Court by the Judge appointing a guardian. , . As of December 31st, the load consists of 139 men and 128 women. Of these there are 64 charge -back cases. The age range of these people is as follows : Tompkins County, New York 261 Men Women 65 to 69 14 ' 26 70to79 78 68 80 to 89 43 32 90 & over 4 2 139 128 The expenditure for December was $7,947.40 or an average per case of $29.76. The high average is largely due to in- creased costs of living, the absence of nursing homes and in- adequate facilities at the County Home for care of convalescent patients. The total number of cases handled from 1930 to December 31, 1944, was 1256. The highest number of cases handled in any one month was in January, 1941, when the number was 324. The oldest active case on the list is #53, opened January 1, 1931. The applicant's age was then 71 and is now 85. The total amount spent on this case is $2,736.57,—an average of $16.25 per month. So far, it has been an unusual case, almost free from medical expense, and the recipient has been able to help himself in many ways. During the year, the town of Groton appointed Mr. Ray McElheny as Town Welfare Officer in place of Mr. James -Curtis who resigned. The town of Ithaca appointed Super- visor Harry N. Gordon in place of Mr. Fay Grover who died December 18th. The monthly reports show that during the year the nine towns administered 20 Home Relief cases with local charges of $3,117.15. During the same period, the towns carried 14 Charge -Back cases paid through the County Office in the amount of $5,395.58. The County Office also handled 26 Charge -Back cases, resi- dents of the City; at a cost of $1,418.92. Of these 26 cases, 11 were due to permanent disability The others were largely of a temporary nature, both in the City and the Towns. The expenditures in this category are the lowest since the present Welfare Law became effective. The total number of cases receiving hospital care during 262 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors the year was 92, and 15 additional tuberculosis cases in the Biggs Memorial Hospital were investigated for the Board of Supervisors. Many cases were also investigated for the Draft Boards, also other services rendered involving no financial aid were numerous. The Governor's Committee has been studying the compli- cated Welfare Laws, rules and regulations. Many hearings throughout the State have been held during the past year. A sincere effort is being made to simplify the law and its ad- ministration. The most difficult situation encountered ap-' pears to be the question of settlement A public hearing was held in Albany by the Ostertag Committee on January 10th, and our County was represented by Supervisors Scofield and Gordon, with your Commissioner, protesting the discontinu- ance of the Settlement Law as no exception had been taken to protect Tompkins County from paying for patients sent from other counties to the Biggs Memorial State Hospital and the New York State Odd Fellows Home. It is estimated that the additional cost to the County would be 15 to 20 thousand dol- lars per year. ' It would reduce our work materially if a satis- factory solution could be found to eliminate the settlement question, but this proposed legislation in its present form is certainly not desirable RECOMMENDATIONS (1) I recommend that the Board give consideration to furn- ishing cars for Workers when cars again become avail- able. (2) That the Town Welfare Officers be relieved of the hand- ling of the Out -of -Settlement cases and the responsibility be placed upon the Commissioner who is responsible for paying the bills. This would save duplication of effort and considerable expense of Town Welfare Officers com- ing into the County office. (3) That the Commissioner be permitted to issue cash relief to all Home Relief and State Charge cases under his ' jurisdiction, the same as he does in all other categories, thus unify the system of payments, save considerable expense, and simplify the procedure. The staff expresses its appreciation for the assistance and Tompkins County, New York 263 co-operation given by all agencies and individuals who have given freely of their time, knowledge, and experience, and especially the County Officials' who have been most helpful in solving many difficult problems throughout the year.
