There were 516 formal matte's handled in Children's Court against 367 in 1948 A total amount of support of $55,334 00 was collected by the Probation Officer as against $51,318 49 in 1948. There were 173 families receiving part or all of their subsistence funds through the Probation Officer in 1949 as against 136 in 1948 and 98 in 1947 And except for the salaries paid the Judge and staff of the Court and Proba- tion Department, expenses for the year amounted to $129.21 in the Court and $96 88 in the Department, both figures lower than in 1948, when totalled. In the total amount collected by the Probation Officer for support is included $4,482.35 paid over to the County Treasurer as against $3,837 48 in 1948. This amount includes $2,833 35 collected from clients of the County Welfare De- partment to reimburse for expenses incurred by the Welfare Commissioner in caring for dependent children. The balance of $1,649.00 was obtained from parents of physically handi- capped children to apply on the expenses of treatments, opera- tions, etc ordered for their children by the Court and paid in to offset the expenses of those cases paid by the State and County. A record-breaking amount was ordered by the Court in 1949 to be paid out for the hospitalization and treatment, medical care, education, etc. of these crippled children In 1949 orders totalled $39,590 as against the $25,624 05 ordered in 1948, and $21,073 75 ordered in 1947 There were 63 dif- ferent children in Tompkins County receiving this aid in 1949 as against 40 in 1948, and 34 in 1947. Matters brought before Children's Court increased 149 cases in 1949 over 1948. There were 61 delinquent children 308 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors before the Court as against 37 in 1948 and 33 in 1947 There were 63 neglected children in 1949 with 36 in 1948 and 32 in 1947. Adult matters involved 303 last year as against 240 in 1948 and 169 in 1947, and non-support was the prevailing charge against these adults As to disposition of these matters, 36 children were placed in temporary custody of the welfare commissioner and 12 with private persons Eight children were formally committed to institutions. In 1948 14 children were placed in suitable homes and 16 in institutions. Ten chil- dren were placed on probation in 1949 as against 16 in 1948 ; 56 adults were placed on probation ]n 1949 as against 60 in 1948. Statistical tables attached hereto show both Children's Court and Probation Department work. On Jan. 1, 1949 there were on probation in Children's Court, 167 persons ; 26 boys, one girl, 136 men and four women At the end of the year there were 163 on probation; 31 boys, two girls, 126 men and four women. The year before these same figures ran from 118 to 167 on probation. Thus more work was done on pro- bation matters in 1949 than 1948, in Children's Court. In Supreme and County Courts, 1949 started with 30 on proba- tion, 28 men and two women, and ended with 35 on probation, 32 men and three women. In Justice of the Peace courts the same figures were 0 and three. Because of the transfer of matters to Children's Court, probation work in Justices' courts has steadily decreased year by year Recommendations as usual, include additional help in probation. More support funds including welfare department reimbursement, could be collected with another worker in the department, who could give needed time in the field outside of the office, where the two workers, probation officer and senior typist and bookkeeper, are now needed daily. Better investigation and supervision would also result from an added staff worker. This need has been mentioned each year without result. I believe the first year this added worker is allowed, will result in collection of much additional support and sav- ing in welfare assistance.

Tompkins County, New York 311 REPORT OF THE COUNTY HISTORIAN FOR 1949 To the Board of Supervisors : The County Historian herewith takes pleasure in present- ing a summary of activities of his office during the year 1949. During the year I gave talks on history at Slaterville Springs Grange; before the Community Club of Candor, and before the Delta Gamma Scientific Society at Cornell. Also many interviews were given to students and others interested in the history of the county and nearby region. I assisted in promoting and exhibiting an exhibit of his- torical art related to Tompkins County, which was held during the month of April in the Society's headquarters in the Old Court House. This exhibit brought out many old historical local paintings seldom viewed by the public and also encour- aged present day artists to consider and paint local art sub- jects for their historical interest. On May 24, 1949 was presented the Daniel D. Tompkins bronze marker to the county by New York State and National officers of the Daughters of the War of 1812 This fine me- morial to the namesake of our county now adorns the front of the County Building and is in full view of passers-by. At the dedication were visitors from Boston, Mass , New York City, Rochester, Syracuse; Schuylerville and nearby places. About 100 persons were present Mayor Bert Baker of the City of Ithaca welcomed officers and guests and LePine Stone, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors accepted the gift in behalf of the county. Col. Frederick Gilbert Bauer of Boston gave the principal address, covering the life of Daniel D. Tompkins In connection with the visit of the New York Freedom Train I arranged an exhibit of historical material which was displayed in the windows of the First National Bank in Ithaca. During the year many items of historical value, such as old letters, books, photographs. relics,, etc. were brought to me for preservation and were added to the growing display in the rooms of the DeWitt Historical Society of Tompkins County. Respectfully submitted, W. Glenn Norris Tompkins Count Historian. 312 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors ANNUAL REPORT OF COUNTY TREASURER COUNTY ROAD MACHINERY FUND (Section 126, Highway Law) County of Tompkins for year ending December 31, 1949 RECEIPTS Balance from previous year $65,665.49 Appropriated for the purchase and repair of equipment, Section 126 Appropriated for purchase of land or buildings, Section 126 Appropriated for construction or re- pair of buildings, Section 126 Rentals from County road fund 47,315.05 Rentals from County snow fund 7,693.41 Rentals from other sources Miscellaneous receipts 2,210.63 Total receipts, including balance from previous year $122,884.58 EXPENDITURES For purchase of highway equipment $ 32,004.02 For purchase of small tools and im- plements 521.12 OPERATION OF EQUIPMENT: Gasoline, motor oil and grease 14,072.62 Labor, materials and supplies used in repair of tools and equipment 22,956 30 Machine operators on equipment rented to County Road Fund OPERATION OF GARAGES AND SHOPS : For purchase of lands or buildings for highway purposes Material and labor for construction or repair of highway buildings 698 23 For heat, light, water and outside storage 1,323.98 Miscellaneous expenditures 7,953 52 Total expenditures Balance as of December 31, 1949 $ 79,529.79 43,354.79 Tompkins County, New York 313 List Equipment purchased, by cash, trade, or both, costing $100 00 or more, during the current year.

Owing to changes in post war conditions and unemployment resulting in higher costs of government, especially welfare expenses, many of us are disturbed over the large number of people making application for public assistance for the first time. While we cannot make any comprehensive report of com- parative figures under a County unit, it is interesting to note that the total expenditures for 1949 were $770,871; that recov- ery and reimbursements amounted to $524,422; that the net cost to Tompkins County was $246,449 as compared with the net cost to the county in 1948 of $181,303 before the City and County offices were consolidated. During the last quarter of 1948 we began feeling the im- pact of unemployment which continued throughout 1949 The rolls increased because many of our aged, blind, partly disabled and other handicapped workers, our youth and working mothers, who found jobs in the war economy, have been dropped in our peace -time economy. Their places have been taken largely by service men return- ing since the war, by recent school graduates and others. Among other reasons for persons needing assistance are dis- continuance of insurance benefits, illness or disability of both wage earners, absence of wage earner, discontinuance of in- come from relatives and exhaustion of earnings or resources. Food budgets, which were increased in November 1948, were reduced to current levels in April 1949. However, the cost of living continued at a high level throughout the year. Tompkins County, New York 341 The average monthly grant for assistance in the categories for the year was as follows: Old Age Assistance—per individual Aid to Blind—per individual Aid to Dependent Children—family Home Relief including family & non=family Child Welfare—per child $54.36 54.89 109.10 62.92 44.84 The above are total budget figures including all necessities such as food, shelter, clothing, household supplies, taxes, in- surance, care in nursing homes etc , but excludes care in the Tompkins County Memorial Hospital because such services are not paid from welfare funds except in a few charge -back cases to other districts and for State charge cases. The following indicates the movement of caseloads during the year: No No No No No Cases Applications Cases Cases Active Cases Jan Received Opened Closed Dec Home Relict 125 332 291 231 185 Old Age Assistance 513 151 114 104 523 Aid to Dependent Children 86 121 107 77 116 Aid to Blind 9 4 4 0 13 733 608 516 412 837 As of December 31 there were 837 active cases with a total of 1686 individuals It will be noted that out of the 608 applications received approximately 55% fell into the category of Home Relief. Since this category is largely of a temporary nature and into which many of the able-bodied unemployed fall, it is in- teresting to show a breakdown of costs by using the month of December 1949 as an example. At the end of December there were 185 cases involving 510 individuals and the amount spent was $12,619.66, an average 342 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors of $24.75 per person. Our current food budget provides for a family of 5 as follows: Unemployed husband Unemployed wife Oldest child -8 years 2nd Child -5 years 3rd Child—Under 2 years $18.00 18 00 13.50 12 50 11.60 Total monthly food budget $73.60 This budget divided by a family of 5 gives an average of $14.72 a month far each individual in the family. Assuming 5 people had 3 meals per day far 31 days, the total would be 465 meals divided by $73 60 shows an average of approxmzately $.16 per meal Therefore, the cost of food for 510 individuals at $ 48 per day would be $7,588 80 The medical costs included in the total expenditures were $1486 14. Adding the food and medical costs we have $9,074.94 which leaves a balance of $3,544 72 for shelter, fuel, electricity and gas, clothing etc. divided among 185 cases of $13 75 per family. The only reason this can be done is because of the large and rapid turnover in caseloads and indicates that many were of such a temporary nature that they received only small amounts. During the year the Department investigated 532 hospital cases, or an average of 44 per month. To indicate some of the office detail involved as a result of investigations there were issued and sent to the Account- ing Department authorizations on State forms for opening and closing of cases, change of address, change of budget figures etc. 11,574 Medical, dental etc. 9,500 21,074 Hospital cases accepted 532 Total 21,606 These figures do not include authorizations issued in the Child Welfare Department nor do they include County Home, Tompkins County, New York 343 both being of a non -reimbursable nature are on local forms. The total number of checks issued for the year was 14,255. In the Children's Division, as of December 31, we had under care 170 children divided as follows: 90 in boarding homes 38 in institutions 42 under supervision During the year we had applications for care of 202 chil- dren of which 54 were accepted, plans made for 123 with 27 pending a decision at the end of the year. Applications for child care are varied and are referred for such reasons as: Mental inadequacy, Unmarried mothers, mother in Willard State Hospital, father in foreign country, Parents dead, Parents inadequate, Father ill, mother blind. A large percentage of these children are assigned to us through the Children's Court. Care of people in distress is of national concern. Federal and State governments are revising the laws. According to newspaper accounts there seems to be no prospect of reduced costs in 1950.
