SALLY ROBINSON, Notary Public. 1 316 Proceedings of The Board of Supervisors REPORT OF THE COUNTY HISTORIAN FOR 1947 To the Honorable Board of Supervisors: During the year 1947 the County -Historian has been active in a variety of ways in carrying out the duties of his office. On April 26th I attended a meeting in Albany of the New York State Council of Historical Societies. I was elected chair- man of this group, which was organized primarily to assist and advance the work of historical societies throughout New York State., On May" 16th I attended a one day session of the Regional Institute of Local Historians, held in the Cortland County Court House. I also attended the annual meeting of the New York State Historical Association, held in Cooperstown. At this confer- ence I read a paper on the activities of historical societies in New York State and presided at a group meeting. 'As County Historian I spoke at the annual meeting of the Cortland County Historical Society on the subject of "Early, White Visitors to this Region." I also gave a talk on the early history of Tompkins County at the Freeville Central School. Two books were purchased by me during the year,'. on sub- _ jects pertaining 'to the history of our County. These will be added to a special collection of historical books that I have been gathering, all of which contain material related to the history of our county. During the year several objects and papers of local his- toric value were brought to my office and entrusted to my care. These were deposited with the Historical Society in the Old Court House for preservation and display. Also during the year work was. continued on the origin and meaning of Tompkins County place names. This project has been under way for three years and I hope to complete it soon. I have given assistance to Mr. Hardy Lee who has written an admirable manuscript on the early railroad history of Tompkins County, New York 317 Tompkins County. With the aid of funds appropriated to my office by the Board of Supervisors and in conjunction with funds provided by the DeWitt Historical Society of Tompkins County this excellent work is now being published, and when ready will add measureably to the documented history of our county. During this year information has been supplied to many students and others seeking facts on the history of Tompkins County. My correspondence on such matters is growing. The official event of most historic significance to be re- ported for 1947 was the adoption of a resolution by. the Tompkins County ,Board of Supervisors,' to take over the operation and maintenance of the Tompkins County Memorial Hospital. Attending to the manifold duties imposed by the office has been at times an arduous but pleasant task. I convey my thanks to the Board of Supervisors for their generous sup- port and continued interest. Respectfully submitted, W.

Y. . Gentlemen : - '. In the foregoing pages I have compiled a true and accurate report which I respectfully submit herewith for your inspec- tion and approval. February 1, 1948. CLIFFORD C. HALL, Sheriff of Tompkins County., Tompkins County, New York 329 • Annual Report Commissioner of Public Welfare To. The Honorable Board of Supervisors Court House Ithaca, New York: Gentlemen : In submitting the annual report of receipts and disburse- ments of the Department for, the ,year 1947, the following comments are made for the record : There have been so many changes in administration poli- cies that it was necessary to rewrite our plan of procedures as of March 15, 1947, to bring it into line with State require- ments. Frequent changes require constant revisions to keep the plan as a working guide. On March 1, 1947 the Home Relief cases formerly handled in the towns were transferred to the. County Office. The office of Town Welfare Officer was abolished and seven of the nine towns appointed Town Service Officers. In the Town of Ithaca and the Town of Dryden, the Supervisor acted as Town Ser- vice Officer. The City was unable to take over the administration of Child Welfare cases residing in the City until July 1, 1947, when 25children were transferred in accordance with the provisions of the County and City contract. The report shows that on December 31, 1947, there were 1028 individuals receiving assistance from Cbunty.funds as compared with 825 at the same time last year. The increase by categories were: Old Age Assistance, 7; Aid to Dependent Children, 95,; Child Welfare, 28; and Home Relief, 63. Of the latter, 40 individuals were transferred from the towns. As a result of seasonable lay-offs, case loads began to increase in November and December. Many of these cases were of a tem- porary nature. This is the first unemployment situation we have had in several years. _The cost of living continued to increase throughout the year, especialbr food prices. A report released in December, 1947, by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics shows "the 330 Proceedings of The Board of Supervisors overall index of 164.9 (base 1935-1939) -rising 0.7% during the month, was 8.3% higher than a year ago and 23.7% above the index of June, 1946. The price of food rose 39.2% during the latter interval." The increased rate from $5.00 to $7.50 per day, plus extras, made the average rate approximately $11.50 per day paid to Memorial Hospital. Hospitalization was a heavy burden dur- ing the year; one patient receiving continuous care from June 9th to December 31st. In the month of November, 25 Welfare clients received hospital care and in December there were'28. Since the County - took over the Memorial, Hospital on January 1, 1948, expenses for welfare clients will no longer be paid from welfare funds. Hospital rates in other cities used by the Department have been raised to meet increased costs. Nursing home rates have- also avealso been raised and we are now paying from $60.00 to $100.00 per - month depending upon 'the amount of care required. Special arrangements are made for each patient. The agreement between the State Department of Social Welfare and the State Medical Society=late in 1946—pro- vided substantial increases in medical and surgical fees. These increases are sharply reflected in 1947 costs. In November the County purchased two new Ford auto- mobiles for the use of the Department which will be of great convenience; also help to reduce our transportation expenses. The shortage of foster homes, .continues to be -a difficult problem in spite of special efforts made by Workers, committee members, and others to find homes. Board rates will be in- creased in 1948 which, we hope, will induce more people to • take children into their homes. The serious housing shortage has caused many families to double up in order to find shelter. This is one of the causes of so many separations and divorces. The situation is a growing problem for workers with no solu- tion in sight. The staff is grateful to all those who have given freely of their time and counsel in helping to solve the many problems confronting us throughout the year. Respectfully submitted, R. C. VAN MARTER, Commissioner. Tompkins County, New York 331 The Honorable Board of Supervisors Ithaca, N. Y.

C 338 Proceedings of The Board of Supervisors ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COUNTY PROBATION OFFICER AND CLERK OF THE CHILDREN'S COURT -OF THE COUNTY OF TOMPKINS, N; Y., FOR 1947. To the Board of Supervisors : The statistics furnished at this time again reflect the con- tinued growth of thecounty probation system and the Child- ren's Court, a tendency which has been a strong one for the last several years.. The collection of support funds for broken homes and needy children took another big jump in 1947, the probation office receiving from delinquent parentsthe total sum of $44,818.88 during the year and disbursing the same among 169 different families throughout the County. This is an increase over the 1946 figure of $40,575.83 of 'over ten percent. The probation department during the year advised each supervisor by month- ly reports of the amount of support collected for families in each town of the County; and also•the Welfare Commissioner 'of the collections of welfare reimbursement •funds which amounted to $2,710.00 as against $2,659.25 last year. In the period from: 1942 to this year, the amount of support collec- tions -has more than doubled, as in 1942 this office collected '$20,453.21 as against 1947's high total. Formal matters handled by the Children's Court dropped back during 1947 to a more normal level following aftermath of the World War conditions in 'this community. The Court disposed of 288 cases concerning delinquent, neglected, -crip- cpled and other types of children brought before the Court. In 1946 a total of 324 petitions were thus filed and in 1945 there were 280 similar matters. There were only 33 delinquency cases as against 68 the previous year and 51 in 1945.. Of the total number of children brought before Judge Stagg in 1947,- 50 were placed in suitable homes and institutions because of improper conditions in their own homes. Eleven of these were committed to various institutions throughout the State, the same number as in 1946, but seven less than in 1945. Physically handicapped children's matters involved orders for expenditure of $21,073.75, by far the largest amount ever handled in the care of crippled children in County history. Last year orders totalled only $7,141.00 while in 1945 the total was Tompkins County, New York 339 $6,313.25. The increase in amount -of these orders is undoubt- edly due to a more extensive health organization and program throughout the County. There were 34 different children in- volved in these orders as against 17 in 1946 and 18 in 1945. Probation matters in the Supreme, County and, Justices of the Peace Courts of the County involved 18 new probationers during the year which was an increase of ten over 1946 and left the probation department supervising 32 probationers in these courts at the end of the year. In the Children's Court the department has 118 on probation, 98 adults and 20 juveniles, which is about the normal load carried for several years. Expenses of the Children's Court and the Probation De- partment for 1947 amounted to $460.97 well within the ap- propriations made by the Board of a total of $650.00 so that a surplus of $189.03, exists in this budget at the end of the year. The complete statistics for the Court and the Department follows : , Statistics for the Children's Court for the year January 1 - December 31, 1947, are as follows : Delinquent Neglected Crippled Adults Support Month Total Boys Girls Boys Giris Boys Girls Men Women Collected Jan. 21 5 0 0 0 0 1 15 ' 0 $3460.67 .Feb. 20 4- 0, 0 0 2 1 13 0 3484:59 Mar. *22 0 1 0 2 1 2 16 0 3704.49 Apr. 23 1 0 0 2 4 2 13 1 3866.67 May 24 4 1 2 2 1 3 10 1 3938.17 June 30 1 2 3 1 5 7 11 0 3886.17 , July 29 2 0 4 3 2 2 16 0, 3675.67 Aug. 21 0 1 2 6 3 1 R 0 3822.67 Sept. 18 0 0 1 - 1 5 1 10 0 3382.47 Oct. 27 5 2 0 0 2 2 16 0 3804.97 Nov. 19 1 0 0 0 1 0 17 0 3750.67 Dec. 34 1 2 2 1 3 • 3 22 0 4041.67 TOTAL 288 24 9 14 18 29 25 167 2 $44,818.88 - 340 Proceedings of The Board of Supervisors.
