122 Proceeding of the Board of Supervisors •
Resolution No.125. A Resolution Protecting the Diversion
of Motor Vehicle Funds to Purposes Other Than Highways.
Mr. Downey offered the following resolution and moved its
adoption :
WHEREAS, the diversion of motor vehicle funds to purposes
other than highways in New York State has now continued
for many years in spite of the constant efforts of many citizens
and organizations; and
WHEREAS, as . a result of such diversion the proper main-
tenance and replacement of our highway systems were serious-
ly'lagging before the war and because of restrictions on high-
way work since the war have fallen far behind normal require-
ments ; and
WHEREAS, the matter of snow removal has rapidly become
of great importance on all highways and a great burden to all
municipal agencies partly because of the extremely bad con-
dition of many highways which makes them poorly adaptable
to snow removal and uselessly increases the cost; and
WHEREAS, there is now definitely indicated the need of many
millions of dollars by the state, counties and towns to rehabili-
tate such highways so as to make them susceptible to effective
and economical snow removal work; and
WHEREAS, it appears from recent federal legislation that
the proposed distribution of Federal aid, of which New York
State bears a very great portion,. may be withheld from all
such states which continue to use revenues derived from the
operation of motor vehicles for purposes other than highways;
and
Be It Resolved, that this Board recommends that the State
Legislature and the' Governor take whatever action may be
necessary to insurethe use of motor vehicle revenues for
highway purposes of the State and its political subdivisions
and it further recommends that on account of the great need
of the towns and counties for substantial funds to rehabilitate
their highways in the next few years for reasons above men-
tioned, particularly to make them suitable for the important
necessary work' of snow removal, that a much larger amount
of the revenue from motor vehicle users be distributed to the
towns and counties to be used for any highway purpose

transmitted to the Governor, the State Senator from this dis-

Resolution No. 10.. Welfare Settlement:
Mr. Scofield offered the following resolution and moved its
adoption
WHEREAS there is under consideration by the Special Com-
mittee on Social Welfare and Relief of the New York Joint
Legislative Committee to amend the social welfare law relating
to the elimination of settlement requirements, the Board of
Supervisors of Tompkins County wishes to state that' it is op- •
posed to the proposed act and believes that the best interests
' of .welfare clients and taxpayers alike would 'be injured by,
such an act.
Be. It Further Resolved that this board believes it would be
a great injustice to place upon any particular town or county
the entire cost of care for inmates of those institutions which
secure their clients from 'other parts of the State of New York
and maintain them in a different town or county. It would
also throw a heavy burden on those towns which have a large
population of migrant workers. It would result in a migration
of welfare clients to those towns .or counties where they think
the most relief could be obtained. It would relieve municipali-
ties of 'responsibilities 'which they should' assume and result'
in many injustices.
Be It Further, Resolved that copies of this resolution be
furnished our Senator, Assemblyman, The Ostertagg Commit-:
tee, The Governor's Counsel and to Mr. Edward F. N. Uthe.
Seconded byMr. Walker.. Carried. ; .

Mr. Rottmann read a letter from the former Supreme Court -
Judge asking permission to purchase book cases in the former
Supreme Court Justice Chambers. Request refused.
The Clerk read the following communication from the
County Attorney:
"Dear Mrs. Bush and Mr. Smiley :
It appears that a question has arisen as to whose duty
At is to act 'for the county in the- determination of the
amount to be withheld in connection with the payment
of certain employees of " the County ,Laboratory, par-
ticularly whether the salaries of these employees should
be paid; and the amounts to be withheld be deducted,
without audit in the County Treasurer's office, or upon
audit and abstract in the office of the Clerk of the Board.
Section 20-d of the Public Health Law specifies the
duties and powers -of Boards of Supervisors in relation to
laboratories. It requires the Board to appoint a Board
of Managers .and to make the appropriation, and to levy
the taxes for the necessary expenses. Section 20-e makes ' it the duty of the Board of Managers to fix the salary of.
the director and all other employees within : the limits of
38' Proceedings of the, Board of Supervisors
the appropriation; arid Section 20-f authorizes the direc-
tor to appoint employees and remove them, ands to "certi-
fy all bills and accounts, including the salary and. wages,
and transmit them to the Boardof Supervisors which
shall provide for their payment in the same manner as
other charges against the county."
Section 12, subdivision 5 of the County Law authorizes '
the Board of Supervisors "notwithstanding the provi-
sions of any general or special law, to fix the amount and
the time'or manner of payment of the salary or compen-
sation, . expense and travel allowance of any county
officer or employee :.."
By resolution of the Board of Supervisors, the County
Treasurer has been directed 'to pay the salaries of all
county officers and employees monthly, unless otherwise
directed by a resolution of the Board.
It is - my understanding that the employees of the
County Laboratory, concerning whom this question has
arisen, are salaried employees on theregular payroll. of,
the county and that their salaries have been certified
by the Civil Service Commission. Therefore, it seems
clear, and it is my opinion that these salaried employees
should be paid in the same manner as other salaried
employees of the ;county are paid, and that means that
no verified bill and no audit is 'required.
In this connection, it'would, of course, ,be the duty of
the County Treasurer, as the fiscal officer of the county
to handle all matters relating to the withholding of
moneys for payment of income taxes at source, including_
the receipt of certificates showing the status of the em-
ployees, , determination of the amount to be withheld,
actual withholding and the making of returns to the col-
lector:
Very truly yours,
Charles Newman
County Attorney."

ter of the issuance ofall type and forms of insurance. To issue
all policies and any and all `proper endorsements to policies
which may be required or desirable; i subsequent to date of is-
suance of such policies, to make periodic surveys and ap-
praisals in order that insurance may be maintained in proper
ratio to values and to handle the matter of the adj ustnient of
all losses and claims.
In consideration of the placement with our Agency of all
insurance of all forms and kinds now carried or to be carried
by the County of Tompkins,; we agree to recognize such In=
surance Agents or Agencies domociled and doing- business in
the County of Tompkins in the participation of the regular
commissions of such,business as follows :
We will, immediately upon receipt by us of check from the
'County of Tompkins in payment of premiums, pay to the par-
ticipating Agents each their pro rata share of the : total com-
missions on all county business as follows:
54 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
The agents participating are to be classified as "A",-
and

Fifty per cent of the gross commissions on fire insurance
premiums and lines of insurance issued by fire insurance com-
panies to be equally divided among Class."A" agents, 30% of
such gross commissions equally among class "B" agents and
20% of all gross commissions among class "C" agents.
The commissions on all forms of Casualty and Liability in-
surance to be divided as above outlined, except that those
agents who are operating as local agents, shall participate in
the gross commissions 'on the basis of the rate of commis-
; sions to which they would be entitled under the contracts with
their respective companies ; that those agencies operating
under either Regional Agency Contracts or General Agency
Contracts shall participate for their pro rata share of the gross
commissions on the basis of the rate of commission payable to
Regional Agents.
In the event that the Board of Supervisors is unable to direct
or control the placement of Bonds of Officers of the County so
as to assure this Agency the business, and such Bonds are
placed,independently with one or more Agencies doing business
in the County, or elsewhere, then such agents with whom such
Bonds are placed shall participate in commissions on fire in-
surance or lines of •insurance issued by Fire Insurance Com-
panies and in commissions on Casualty and Liability insurance
only after giving due consideration to the premiums for such
bonds so as to insure an equitable participation by all agents

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOMPKINS, COUNTY
HISTORIAN FOR THE YEAR, 1945`
The year 1945 was filled with events. of .great historical im-
portance. Two of the most significant events effecting every
person in Tompkins, County were, first: the complete capituz
lation or unconditional surrender of Germany, which was offi-
cially announced on May 5th. This news was received quietly
and gratefully throughout the county. The second event was
the sudden collapse and unconditional surrender of Japan,
which was ; announced by President Truman at 7 P. M. on
August 4th. This, surrender news was climaxed by a gigantic -
parade in Ithaca on the evening of September 4. It was the
longest parade in many years. About 25,000 persons were esti-
mated as viewing the parade, which was participated in by
people from all parts of the County.
Other Tompkins County Events worthy of mention are : At
an adjourned monthly meeting held April 24th, the Board of
Supervisors, by formal resolution purchased the J. B. Williams
property known as "Cliff Park" on West Hill for the purpose
of eventually using the site for a Tompkins County Infirmary.
A public meeting was held Monday October 4th at Foster
Hall in the Ithaca High School to receive suggestions and dis-
cuss a suitable memorial for World War II heroes. Represen-
tatives from all parts of the County were present.
On May 29th a reception and farewell party was held in the
Surrogate's Court Room for the Hon. Willard M. Kent, who
resigned after 30 years of service as Tompkins County Judge,
Surrogate and Judge of the Children's Court.
Upon' recommendation of - Dr. Hartzell, State Examiner of
War Records, the complete files of the Local Office of Civilian
Defense were turned over to me. There was a vast amount of
material which has since been sorted and classified. It will be-
come part of the county historical archives. The Mayor's office
of Ithaca also donated the war records pertaining to the official
acts and correspondence of that office. All this material may
some day be of use to the student and historian. As far as this
locality is concerned it is the first time that the official civilian
records of any war this county has taken part in, have been
collected and preserved.,.
Tompkins County, New. York 281,
On May 5 a meeting of town historians was held at the Court
House. Those present were: Mrs. Susan H. Haring, Lansing;
Robert Wilson, Groton ; . Mrs.. Fred Atwater, • Caroline ; Mrs.
Jessie' Agaard, Ulysses; Mrs. Mary Buchanan, Newfield; Mrs:
Fred Bock, Enfield ; W. O. Smiley,. Danby. The meeting was
called by your County Historian for the purpose of discussing
the many angles of localhistory and for projecting historical
studies best adapted to each historian.
• With the, approval of the Board, I attended a three day
training institute June 27, 28 and 29 in Albany, conducted by
the Dept. of Education and under the guidance of the State
Historian. Many Town Boards also extended this privilege to
their respective town historians.
On December 13, Albert B. Corey, State Historian, made an
official visit to Ithaca. An informal meeting was held in my
office and was attended by several Town Historians.
During the past year; I have acquired copies of many rare
old maps of this region, as well as historical books dealing with
facts of interest to the County. The County Historian is com-
piling •and hopes to finish, a bibliography, which will cover as
completely as possible, all publications which directly or indi-
rectly contain historical information relating to the County. I
have also undertaken the . collection of copies of all available
maps which in , anyway show the region now occupied by
Tompkins County. This collection is growing and many copies
of rare 17th century maps are included. With the maps and
bibliography of publications I hope to make it a uniquesource
of information to students and historians of the future.
This is my second annual report. I wish to thank the Board
of Supervisors fortheir interest and generous support in help-
ing me to carry on the work of County Historian.
Respectfully submitted,
W. GLENN NORRIS,
Tompkins County Historian.

288 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
Annual Report of
Commissioner of Public Welfare
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors,
Court House,
Ithaca, New York.
Gentlemen :
The financial report for the year -1945 is attached.
It is interesting to note how closely the figures compare with
those of the previous year.
The net, cost for 1945 was $91,473.00 as compared with
$85,532 for 1944; an increase of $5,941. The principal in-
creases were in thecategories of Old Age Assistance and Child.
Welfare .Services, while the reimbursements increased
$6,333.00.
The expected increase= in case load due to the ending of the
War and the re -adjustment period did not develop in 1945.
This was due to employment opportunities, unemployment in,
surance and the G.I. Bill .of Rights . benefits to returning
soldiers.
The increased costs of living made it necessary to increase
our budgets for rents, food, fuel and clothing. Also to increase
our board rates in foster homes from $21.00 per month to
$1.00 per day. Institutions, where children are cared for, also
found it necessary to increase their rates.
There are no recipients on our rolls who are able to work.
The Department :continues to be seriously handicapped by
the scarcity .of foster homes, boarding homes, housing .facili-
ties, nursing homes and hospital care.
Important legislation was enacted during the year which
greatly increased our case load.
The liberalization in the eligibility provisions for Aid to
Tompkins County, New York 289
Dependent Children became effective July 1, 1945 which had
the effect of increasing the load in that category 119 per cent.
A great many cases formerly receiving Home Relief in the
towns and City of Ithaca were added to our rolls with no
charge -backs to the towns or City. The reimbursement is -50
per cent which includes hospitalization expense, (which previ-
ously was local charge).
The Board of Child Welfare in Tompkins County, which
formerly administered this category, was discontinued at the
end of the year after having served the County since its incep-
tion in 1915 or a period of 30 years. The duties and responsi-
bility for its activities were transferred to the County Welfare
Department.
Effective September lst, 1945, a new Law placed the exten-
sion of Home Relief to clients on acash" basis with the excep-
tion of medical, dental and nursing care, which can still be
granted by vouchers.
The Department has experienced difficulty' in securing
trained Workers and for several months has been short-
handed. Since September, we have been unable to locate a
qualified Children's Worker, and at present, we need two other
Workers.
RECOMMENDATIONS
(1) I again recommend that the Board furnish cars for
Workers in the Department.
(2) . That mileage paid to Workers be reinstated at the rate of
eight cents per mile immediately, instead of the six cent
rate placed in effect January 1st, 1946. The cost of gas
and repairs on old cars has not been reduced and we have,
had opportunity to hire two qualified Workers who refuse
to buy cars for the benefit of the County.
The Staff joins me in expressing its appreciation of the able
assistance given us by various agencies and 'County officials
who have given freely of their time in helping us with many
,community problems throughout the year.
Yours truly,
R. C. VAN MARTER,
Commissioner.
