Tompkins County, New York 301 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COUNTY PROBATION OFFICER AND CLERK OF THE CHILDREN'S COURT OF THE COUNTY OF TOMPKINS, N. Y., FOR 1948 To the Board of Supervisors : More residents of the County of Tompkins used the facili- ties of the Tompkins County Children's Court and County Probation Department and more families and children bene- fitted from the services of the two units in 1948; than in any other one year of 30 -year existence of the departments. There were 367 formal cases handled by the Children's Court and a large number of informal matters of which no record could be kept. In 1947 the Court handled 288 such cases. The County Probation Officer collected $51,318.49 for the support of families under Court order. In 1947 the officer collected $44,818.88. This is an increase in the year of $6,499.61. When 1948 rolled , around, there were 98 families being at least partly maintained by the collections of support in the probation office. At the close of this year there were 136 families on this support list, an increase of 38 during the year. In the above support collections is an item of $3,837.48 which the probation officer collected for reimbursement of welfare and physically handicapped children's cases. Last year $2,710.00 was thus collected for the welfare department accounts. Of the 1948 amount, $3,012.48 was applied on wel- fare expenses and $825.00 on crippled children's matters. There were 37 delinquent children brought before Judge Stagg in 1948 as compared to 33 in 1947. Neglected children in 1948 numbered 36 as against 32 in 1947. Crippled chil- dren's orders entered in 1948 totaled 54, the same number as 302 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors in 1947. There were 240 adults haled into Children's Court in 1948 and only 169 summoned in 1947 for various complaints, mainly non-support. As to the disposition of these formal cases, 14 children were ordered placed in suitable homes and 16 committed to institutions. The 1947 statistics were considerably higher as to children placed in homes, 39, but lower as to those sent to institutions, 11. Orders for physically handicapped children amounted in 1948 to $25,624.05, a substantial increase over the $21,073.75 ordered expended in 1947. There were 40 different children involved in these orders for operations, hospitalization, treat- ments, home teaching, etc., this year as against 34 such mat- ters in 1947. Along with the increases in Court work, the probation supervision also increased in volume. On Jan. 1, 1948 there were 19 boys, one girl, 98 men and no women on probation in Children's Court. At the close of the year there were 26 boys, one girl, 136 men and four women on probation rolls, an increase of from, 118 cases to 167 cases. Of course, proba- tioners were discharged during the year and others received in larger numbers. In Supreme, County and Justices of the Peace courts there were.31 probationers at the. start of the year and 34 at the conclusion thereof. The probation officer collected in 1948 restitution in the sum of $265.00 from pro- bationers for persons whom they had damaged by their un- lawful acts. In County Court the probation officer conducted 21 adoption investigations during the year. Needless to say, from a glance at the above figures, the great need of the two departments is for more investigation, supervision and clerical assistance. At present the work is accomplished by your probation officer and only one other worker in both Court and Probation Department. Mrs. La - Verna Daniels is stenographer, typist, bookkeeper in both of- fices. Much of the information obtained by the offices should be placed in the records but lack of time and clerical aid makes this impossible. If it was not for the fact that the probation officer can use a typewriter and does so a great deal of his time, the Court and probation department records would not be in the very acceptable condition they are in at this time. Tompkins County, New York 303 There are plenty of reports that have to be made regularly to be of any value. Reports on support collections go out each month to the county welfare commissioner and this last year to the city welfare director and the supervisors of all the towns in the- county. Monthly reports go to the State Probation Com- mission on all work in Children's Court, and the probation work in Children's,. Supreme and County,- and Justices of the Peace courts. These take a great deal of office time and usually have to be done out of office hours. The addition of a third member of the staff who could do some investigating, some supervising, and some clerical work in the office would be a great benefit to the departments. Expenses of the Court and Probation Department, as usual, have been kept unusually low, when expenditures of other governmental offices are considered in .this day. The Board of Supervisors appropriated $400 for the expenses of the Children's Court exclusive of salaries. In 1948 as against this figure there was spent by the. Court $336.51, leaving a balance in the fund of $63.49. In the probation officer's ex- pense fund there was $200 at the start of the year and $190 at the close, an expenditure of $10. Thus the 1948 total is $346.51 as against the 1947 total of $460.97. Complete statistics of the Children's Court and the County Probation Department follow: Statistics for the Children's Court for the year January 1 - December 31, 1948, are as follows : Delinquent Neglected Crippled Adults Support Month Total Boys Girls Boys Girls Boys Girls Men Women Collected Jan. 20 4 0 0 0 4 0 12 0 $3551.17 Feb. 17 1 0 2 2 2 0 10 0 3726.92 Mar. 34 1 0 1 4 2 2 24 0 4288.12 April 28 5 2 0 0 3 0 18 0 3727.37 May 38 6 1 2 1 3 3 21 1 4124.67 June 35 4 1 0 1 3 0 25 1 4545.17 July 29 1 0 2 2 2 2 19 1 4820.92 Aug. 25 1 0 2 0 5 0 17 0 4195.50 Sept. 45 3 0 5 0 10 1 26 0 4350.55 Oct. 34 4 0 3 5 1 2 19 0. 4478.55 Nov. 38 1 0 2 . 0 5 1 26 3 4797.82 Dec. 24 2 0 0 2 3 0 17 0 4711.73 TOTAL 367 33 4 19 17 43 11 234 6 $51318.49 304 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors Disposition of the above cases was made by the Court in the following manner, except in the matters of physically handicapped children, dealt with in another section of this report: Placed in To Support Homes Committed Probation Family Direct Month Boys Girls Boys Girls Boys Girls Men Women Men Women Jan. 0 0 1 0 1 0 4 0 0 0 Feb. 2 0 1 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 Mar. 0 3 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 April 0 0 1 1 2 0 2 0 2 0 May 3 0 3 1 3 0 5 1 0 0 June 1 0 2 1 2 0 6 0 0 0 July 0 0 1 0 1 0 4 1 1 0 Aug. 1 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 Sept. 1 0 1 0 1 0 5 0 0 0 Oct. 2 0 3 0 3 0 6 0 0 0 Nov. 0 0 0 0 1 0 9 2 1 0 Dec.. 0 1 0 0 2 0 4 0 0 0 Total 10 4 13 3 16 0 56 4 4 0 0 Tompkins County, New York 305` PROBATION CASES IN THE SUPREME AND COUNTY COURTS AND THE JUSTICE OF THE PEACE COURTS Pro.

Tompkins County, New York 331 REPORT OF THE COUNTY, HISTORIAN FOR 1948 To the Honorable Board of Supervisors : The County Historian during the year 1948 finds an in- creasing demand for historical information from many sources within and outside the county. A variety of inquiries in regard to early settlers, industries, dates of events and other matters of historical interest have been received by letter. This has required considerable at- tention and correspondence. I also mention many personal visitors ; the details of these inquiries are too numerous to mention but I am happy to say that I have been able in most cases to supply the informa- tion desired or direct them to some other source. A group of Cub Scouts with their leader visited my' office and were entertained with a talk on the Indian Trails of Tompkins County. In addition, during the year I spoke be- fore groups in Trumansburg, Cortland and Newfield on our local history. Two valuable minute books of School Districts were left in my custody and it is hoped that others may be obtained from other districts where there is no longer a district school. These records should be preserved. A number of papers, pamphlets Old similar printed items were brought to me by persons eager to contribute to the collection of useful things relating to our county's history. In connection with the Historical Society I assisted in pub- lishing a reproduction of an early Walton print of Ithaca. The County Historian is an ex -officio officer of the Society and thus participates in all activities of . that organization. The Historical Society in the Old Court House is a logical and valuable repository for many items that are brought to my office. My appropriation has made it possible to acquire from time to time rare publications and to subscribe to publica- tions of current historical nature. I appreciate the continued and generous support of the Board . of Supervisors which makes this work possible and pleasant for me. Respectfully submitted, W. GLENN NORRIS, Tompkins County Historian. 332 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors REPORT OF THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF HIGHWAYS 1948 To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County The following is a statement of the money appropriated, and the expenditures made, in the County Road Fund, Ma- chinery, Bridge and Snow Removal accounts in Tompkins County for the year 1948.

WELFARE To The Honorable Board of Supervisors Court House Ithaca, New York Gentlemen : Attached hereto is the Annual Report of the receipts and disbursements for the calendar year 1948. Numerous changes in federal, state and local policies make it difficult to keep our county plan of operations up- to-date. This plan is mandatory and has to be approved by the State Department, otherwise reimbursement can be denied. The housing problem in our community continues acute, many families separated—the father living in one place, the mother in another and the children in others. This condition is reflected in the expenses of all relief categories. The situation is largely due to the lack of construction dur- ing the war period and the return of members of the armed forces together with the influx of students and faculty to both Cornell and Ithaca College which created a shelter shortage crisis. Relief budgets are based on low cost shelter which is not available and the problem of finding homes for evicted welfare clients has been most serious. The prospects are that it will continue for some time. These conditions also make it difficult to find suitable foster homes for children and boarding homes for older people. The population in both the city and town has grown tremendously in the last few years. Notwithstanding the increased load especially in the Home Relief category during the year, it is interesting to note that as of December 31st there were 1050 individuals under care as compared with 1028 last year, an increase of only 22. Cost of living reached an all-time high in the month of August and food budgets were increased. about 10% on Novem- ber 1st after a survey of prices charged by retail stores of the county. This increase was delayed for several months with the hope that prices might decrease. Fuel, clothing and other household supplies increased during the year, especially rents which in many cases were raised 15% with the consent of the Rent Control Board. Toward the end of the year there were some decreases but the United States Bureau of Labor Sta- 338 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors tistics indicated prices in December were 2.6% higher than a year ago and 29% higher than in June, 1946. Legislation effective April lst, 1947 relieved the Welfare Department of all responsibility in connection with payments for treatment of tuberculosis, removing the means test and fixing such care as a public health responsibility. This procedure had been advocated for a number of years and permitted us to omit theitem from the 1948 budget. As of January 1st, 1948 the operation of Tompkins County Memorial Hospital was taken over by the county, thus re- lieving the Welfare Department from paying hospital charges for welfare clients with the exception of a few non-resident cases which are a charge -back to other districts. The re- sponsibility for the investigation and determination of eligi- bility referred for hospital care remains a function of the Department. For the years 1947 and 1948 the City Welfare Department was operated under Option 4, Title 3A, Section 74E of the Social Welfare Law. Under this arrangement, and by agree- ment, the county hired the City of Ithaca to handle such wel- fare cases residing in the city for which the county was fin- ancially responsible, namely Aid to Blind, Aid. to Dependent Children and Child Welfare. This proved to be an expensive and cumbersome procedure. In September the Common Council of the city adopted a resolution electing that on and after January 1st, 1949 the City Welfare Department be dissolved and thereafter the County Office administer all departments of public welfare in both the county and city. This resolution was addressed to' the Board of Supervisors and was approved. The Commissioner and his staff is very appreciative of a great deal of assistance rendered the Department throughout the year by the Welfare Committee of the Board of Super- visors and also all those lay -people who have given freely of their time in monthly meetings to discuss difficult wel- fare problems and assisting in formulating policies.
