Whereas, the legislature of the State of New York has passed the so-called "Hollinger Bill," being introductory num- ber 3146, print number 3760, creating the Northwestern New York Water Authority District and the Northwestern New York Water Authority ; and, Whereas, the area over which said district and authority shall have control as set forth at Paragraph 1076 of the bill itself states that it is intended to comprise the area of Niagara, 62 April 10, 1950 Orleans, Genesee, Monroe and Wayne Counties together with the northerly portions of Livingston and Ontario Counties, and Whereas, the authority is authorized but shall not be re- quired to operate and function both in and outside of such parts of said territory as it may determine from time to time, except as limited in section ten hundred eighty-two of this title, and Whereas, the duration of the authority according to para- graph 2 of Section 1077 of the bill is perpetual unless its exis- tence is hereinafter terminated or altered by statute of the State of New York hereafter duly enacted However, the legislature shall not terminate the existence of the authority until all of its liabilities have been met and its bonds have otherwise been discharged. Although Section 1090 of the bill provides that the bonds and obligations of the authority shall not be a debt of the State of New York or of any municipali- ties, and Whereas, only limited number of public hearings were held within the defined limits of the district and no hearings out- side in vitally affected areas, and Whereas, the bill by Sec. 1092 exempts the authority from the payment of any and all taxes on properties which it may acquire or over which it exercises any jurisdiction or super- vision in our townships, Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Board of Super- visors of Tompkins County requests the Governor to veto this bill for the following reasons : 1 That since Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and the Niagara River are inexhaustable sources of supply for the counties of Niagara, Orleans and Genesee which are in the area of the proposed district, our people urge that the authority should be confined to that area. 2 That the life of the authority is fixed as perpetual and cannot be terminated as long as there is any liability out- standing. 3. That despite the established precedent no public hearings April 10, 1950 63 were scheduled or held outside the district defined in the law and neither were hearings held in such communities as Gen- eva, Canandaigua, Ithaca, Watkins Glen, Penn Yan, Elmira, Corning, Bath, Hornell, Auburn and many others which would suffer from establishment of the proposed authority. 4. That the bill is an unconstitutional creation of a per- petual authority. 5 That the budgets of our respective counties and other municipalities already overburdened by numerous exemptions would suffer irreparable loss of revenue Seconded by Mr Shoemaker. Carried. Mr Downey reported relative to review of assessments by the State and moved that the County Treasurer take charge of setting up a group meeting of the assessors of the entire county, together with the village and city boards of assess- ment some time in the near future.

Stewart Wallace, President of the Medical Society, read a letter from that organization addressed to the Chair- man of this Board as follows: TOMPKINS COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY Ithaca, New York June 14, 1950 The Honorable Harvey Stevenson Chairman, Tompkins Co. Board of Supervisors Ithaca, N. Y. Dear Mr. Stevenson : On March 28, 1950 your Health Coordination Committee met with representatives of the Board of Trustees of the Tompkins County Hospital Corporation, representatives of the Board of Managers of the hospital, and several doctors repre- senting the Medical Staff of the Tompkins County Memorial Hospital, and the Tompkins County Medical Society. You asked that the doctors of the County express their group opin- ion as to what should be done to meet the total health needs of Tompkins County, with particular reference to the hospital 96 June 26, 1950 problem. Dr. Wallace, speaking for the doctors, promised to bring you such an opinion. The following statement represents the considered opinion of the Medical Society and has been passed by unanimous vote I—At the present time the responsibility for the provision of adequate hospital facilities for the citizens of this County and the proper management thereof hes with the Board of Supervisors. Therefore, any action must be initiated by them II—The doctors spend many working hours in the hospi- tal and believe themselves to be in a more advantageous posi- tion than any other group in determining the adequacy of our hospital services It is our considered and unanimous opinion that the hospital facilities are grossly inadequate and are be- coming more so daily Illustrative examples to substantiate our opinion have been submitted previously, and additional material will be gladly furnished upon request. III—The doctors are convinced that both the practical and ideal solution of the problem is a new hospital on a new site with provision for future growth as circumstances require. IV—The Board of Supervisors employed a firm of hospi- tal consultants who have recommended a new hospital on a new site as the best solution to our hospital problem. The Board has not seen fit to take steps to implement this report and we have heard that its reasons are: A. The capital outlay of the project as estimated appears to be excessive. B. The Board is not sure that the cost would not exceed the estimates. C. The Board has no information regarding the cost of operation of the proposed hospital. D. The Board questions whether it would not be cheaper to radically alter the present hospital and build an addition to it. E. The Board is not sure that its constituents will sup- port an adequate health and hospital program June 26, 1950 97 Factual data with respect to A, B, C, and D as above can readily be obtained Both the costs of construction and the costs of operation can be estimated and predicted within rea- sonably accurate hmits There is available to the County with- out cost, dependable analytical service to acquire these data Unpredictable changes in wage scales or methods of medi- cal care prevent projecting the estimated cost of operation more than ten years in the future. Any radical changes in these factors would be common to all hospitals and all com- munities and certainly a new and efficiently designed unit would fare better than an antiquated one The problem then reduces itself to a decision as to whether the present hospital can be radically altered, enlarged, and operated at a signifi- cantly less cost than a new hospital on a new site. We believe the Board needs to answer these questions before it can take any action and that these answers can be readily obtained With respect to E, as above, we believe there has been considerable talk about this general problem and for the most part no one has been in possession of sufficient facts to justify a valid conclusion So far nothing definite has been presented to the citizens of this County. Neither have the people had explained to them in understandable terms the increased safety to life and the economic advantage that adequate hos- pital facilities mean to individual families We believe that a specific proposition with full explanation should be placed before the people before anyone can draw a conclusion as to what the people actually want V—There has been much loose talk regarding the place of the County and Cornell University in the development of hospital facilities It is our opinion that to date neither group has made a sincere effort to work out the problem in conjunc- tion with the other. While cooperation between the two groups is not mandatory, it seems foolish to us that there should be two hospitals in a community of this size and that both groups should continue to pay more to operate their separate facilities than they would if the facilities were combined. For example, each hospital maintains an X-ray Department, a Clinical Lab- oratory, a Library, a Dietary Department, a Record Room, and an Operating Room Suite, with all the implied equipment and personnel. The duplication of both physical space, per- sonnel and equipment is obvious. Certainly some formula for the construction and operation of a unit to serve both the 98 June 26, 1950 University and the Community would result in significant economics for both. VI—Gathering and interpreting the facts required to provide the answers to the questions in Section IV requires an experienced hospital man of the highest caliber. This is true whether the decision is to build an entirely new plant or to radically remodel and enlarge the present hospital VII—Therefore, the Tompkins County Medical Society recommends that: A. A Citizen Committee be formed. It should be composed of not less than five, nor more than nine outstanding citizens who have had no recent connection with the Tompkins County Memorial Hospital. They should have no personal nor business interest to prejudice them in the analysis of the problem and the exercise of unbiased Judgment. 1. The Chairman of the Committee and two other members should be appointed by the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors and should be individuals who are mutually acceptable to the Board of Super- visors, the Board of Managers of the Tompkins County Memorial Hospital, the Board of Trustees of the Hospital Corporation and the Tompkins County Medical Society. The remaining members of the Committee should be selected by the three appointed members. 2. In the functioning of such a Citizen -Committee, it should be agreed that the Board of Supervisors, the Hospital Board of Managers, the Trustees of the Hospital Corporation, and the Medical Society will make readily available to such Committee all per- tinent information, and give any aid and coun- sel that the Committee may request B. The Committee shall obtain detailed factual data upon which to base recommendations for the solution of the total health and hospital problems of Tompkins County. These data should include - 1. Comparative cost analyses by services and depart- June 26, 1950 99 ments of the present hospital with other hospitals of similar size and type. 2. Capital and operation cost analyses of any remodel- ing and/or additions to the present hospital plant. 3. Capital and operating costs of a new hospital on a new site. 4. Capital and operating costs of one unit combining all the health facilities of Tompkins County. This would include the general hospital, chronic dis- ease hospital, County Health Department and clinic facilities, County Laboratory and the Cor- nell University Infirmary and Clinic. The services of competent and experienced an- alysts in this field are available to the Board of Supervisors and the County upon request without Cost. C. The Committee on the basis of its studies will make specific recommendations as to the best method of solving the present problem both as to capital pro- jects and methods of administration. 1. The Citizen Committee shall make specific sugges- tions as to the method and means of financing its recommendations. 2. The Citizen Committee shall make all of its find- ings and recommendations readily available to the people of Tompkins County. Respectfully subnutted, C.

Expenses of the probation department exclusive of one officer's salary totaled only $152 39 of a $250 appropria- tion, $97.61 being returned to the County. As in past years it is the recommendation of the Probation Officer that an assistant be added to the department to aid in the collection of support funds which is increasing with every month It has been shown in other counties that such an assistant adds greatly to collection efficiency. 338 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors Statistics for the Children's Court for the year January 1 -December 31, 1950, are as follows: Delinquent Neglected Crippled Adults Support Month Total Boys Girls Boys Girls Boys Girls Men Women Collected Jan 28 2 1 3 4 3 2 12 1 $5023 83 Feb 36 1 2 2 6 3 2 18 2 4383 73 Mar 38 0 1 9 3 0 2 23 0 5015 83 Apr 27 1 0 0 2 4 2 17 1 5225 83 May 51 3 0 4 6 2 10 24 2 5520 95 June 37 2 1 0 6 3 4 20 1 570162 July 41 3 3 0 2 4 1 25 3 5366 59 Aug 30 1 0 4 3 2 1 18 1 520122 Sept 58 16 0 3 2 8 1 25 3 4693 43 Oct 52 8 1 3 3 2 3 31 1 5419 93 Nov 38 2 0 0 3 3 1 27 2 5077 36 Dec 39 1 0 6 4 7 1 17 3 5998 93 TOTAL 475 40 9 34 44 41 30 257 20 $62629 25 Disposition of the above cases was made by the Court in the following manner, except in the matters of the physically handicapped children, dealt with in another section of this report: Placed in Custody To -Support Welfare Private Committed Probation Family Direct Month Bs Gs Bs Gs Bs Gs Bs Gs MenWomen MenWomen Jan 0 1 3 3 0 0 0 1 2 0 2 0 Feb 2 5 0 0 0 1 0 1' 5 1 0 0 Mar 7 1 0 0 1 2 0 0 3 0 1 0 Apr 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 4 1 0 0 May 2 3 0 0 1 0 1 0 4 0 0 0 June 0 2 0 1 0 0 1 0 6 0 0 0 July 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 2 6 0 0 0 Aug 4 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 3 0 1 0 Sept 1 1 0 0 5 0 2 0 2 1 1 0 Oct 4 1 0 1 2 0 3 0 6 0 0 0 Nov 0 1 0 2 1 0 0 0 4 0 1 0 Dec 2 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 TOTAL 22 18 3 10 11 4 9 4 49 3 6 0 Tompkins County, New York 339 January 10, 1951 Tompkins County Treasurer Court House Ithaca, New York Gentlemen : This is to certify you have on deposit with us as of close of business December 31, 1950 the following balances : PB :JR Highway Machinery Fund Road Fund $38,824 39 $60,912 58 Very truly yours, TOMPKINS COUNTY TRUST COMPANY Paul Bradford Treasurer 340 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, 1950 The following is a report of the County Road Machinery Fund as required by Section 126 of the Highway Law.

Respectfully, CLIFFORD C. HALL, Sheriff, Tompkins County 352 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors REPORT OF THE COUNTY HISTORIAN FOR 1950 To the Board of Supervisors The year 1950 although significant as a half -century mile- stone had no unusual importance as to historical matters within our county The exception here mentioned, being the outbreak in June of communist inspired warfare in Korea, against which the United States immediately took action, and in which as the year 1950 passed, found many Tompkins County men engaged in that struggle, several of whom were reported as killed or missing, and many reported wounded During the year, the County Historian has been busy set- ting down in writing facts worthy of preservation, and an- swering questions on historical matters A large number of personal interviews have been given and about thirty-five let- ters have been answered in reply to inquiries for geneological and county history information. Early in the year I received a large supply of mimeographed sheets listing all the official State Education historical markers throughout the county. The list was revised and prepared by the State Historian, who had invited my cooperation. The sheets containing this historical data were distributed by me to the District School Superintendents to be used for social studies During 1950 the County Historian gave six lectures on local and regional history, which were sponsored by various organizations. The County Historian purchased through his appropriation of $250.00, two books : Butlers Rangers in New York, $2 25, and Spafford's 1824 Gazeteer of New York $6 00; 500 letter- heads and envelopes $15.00. For work completed on my book- let the Origin of Place Names in Tompkins County $225.00. At the annual meeting of the DeWitt Historical Society of Tompkins County, I was honored by being elected to the presidency of that active and growing organization, which has as its most important aim, the preservation of objects of local historical interest, such as : publications, maps, costumes, Tompkins County, New York 353 paintings, photographs and anything which will enrich and preserve the history and lore of our county. In behalf of the Society, may I say that we are grateful to the Board of Supervisors for providing appropriate quar- ters for these things, and for the continued good interest in promoting this cultural aspect of Tompkins County life.

C SARSFIELD Cashier 382 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF WELFARE FOR 1950 To the, Honorable Board of Supervisors • Court House In submitting the annual financial statement for the year 1950 the following comments have reference to some impor- tant changes during the year : On July lst, a new insurance program became effective known as "Workmen's Compensation Disability for Occupa- tional and Non -occupational Injury and Disease." Briefly, this means that a number of people became eligible for disability benefits, including non -occupational injury and sickness. The Welfare Department checks with the Workmen's Compensa- tion Board to determine initial or continuing eligibility for people making application for public assistance. As a result of the 1950 amendments to the Social Security Law a new Federal category in public assistance became effective October lst known as "Aid to the Disabled," which means that the Welfare Department now has four Federal categories known as Old Age Assistance, Aid to the Blind, Aid to Dependent Children and Aid to the Disabled. Most of these cases were transferred from the Home Relief and Aid to Dependent Children -categories. The State Department advises that the change will mean about seven million dollars of Federal money coming into the State for welfare purposes that previously was not avail- able Tompkins County will benefit by reimbursement for medical, surgical and hospital expenses not allowed on Home Relief cases Installation of these changes in the Welfare De- partment meant a great deal of clerical work in both the Social Service and Accounting Departments. As of October lst, substantial increases were granted by the Federal Government in the Old Age and Survivors Insur- ance Program which meant that in a few cases sufficient re- sources became available to recipients of Old Age Assistance which permitted the closing of their cases. The amount of Tompkins County, New York 383 supplementary grants given to a number of Old Age Assis- tance cases was reduced by the, amount received by clients from this source. Except for the cost of extensive alterations and improve- ments made at the County Home the Department for the first time in years was able to keep the expenditures within the amount appropriated at the beginning of the year. This was a source of great satisfaction to the Commissioner and his Staff and was accomplished largely because of an unforeseen up- ward trend in the economic conditions which started early in the year with employment reaching a high level. As a result, the individual number of persons cared for as of December 1950 compared with December 1949 was reduced by 116 per- sons The number of applications for Old Age Assistance showed a gradual increase during the year and at the end of Decem- ber there were 526 recipients as compared with 507 at the be- ginning. It is anticipated that the trend will continue upward for several reasons The cost of living has reached an all-time high Many people who saved for their retirement have ex- hausted their resources. Some industries in normal times de- clined to employ people after reaching the age of 65 and some required their employees to retire at that age In many cases Social Security Insurance is insufficient to meet everyday living costs Due to present day living standards, more and better medical services, the life span has been considerably lengthened. The 1950 Census Bureau reported that between 1940 and 1950 the number of persons over 65 increased 37 percent. During the same period the number of children under 10 years of age increased 40 percent The population in Tompkins County, exclusive of students, increased about 10,000 persons during that period. These statistics have a direct bearing upon welfare services and cost. Food budgets in the County were reduced in 1949 and not increased during 1950, although there were sharp increases in food prices during the months of November and December The higher costs of living just about offset the gains made 384 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors by higher employment and insurance benefits mentioned above as indicated by the following comparative statement of the average monthly relief grants. 1950 1949 Old Age Assistance per individual $ 55.35 $ 54.36 Aid to Blind—per individual 52 75 54.89 Aid to Dependent Children—family 105 64 109 10 Home Relief—family & non -family *80 44 62 92 Child Welfare—per child 45.62 44 84 * Reflects the more temporary large caseloads handled in 1949. The above costs include food, shelter, clothing, household supplies, taxes, insurance, medical, care in nursing homes etc The number of deaths in all categories, including the County Home,. during the year was 61. The average number of clients receiving hospitalization was 43 per month as compared with 44 for 1949. In the Child Welfare Division the number ,of children in boarding homes as of December 31 was 106, in institutions 24 and under supervision 9—a total of 139 as compared with 170 in 1949 The Welfare Committee, consisting of four Supervisors and a larger number of lay members, meets monthly during the year and have shown deep interest in many problems con- fronting the Department They have offered valuable assis- tance and advice in helping to solve many of these situations The Commissioner and his Staff appreciates the time and ef- forts of the Committee.

MOORE, M.D Chairman, Tompkins County Board of Health REPORT OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT FOR 1950 To the Board of Supervisors : The mission of the Health Department is to prevent disease and death and to promote physical and mental health in the community. Operating within the framework of the Public Health Law and the Sanitary Code regulations established by state and local authorities, department personnel make every effort to gain voluntary compliance. A measure of success is indicated in the fact that since its organization on July 1, 1947, unusually high health standards have been maintained and improved without a single instance requiring legal or punitive action. To accomplish its mission, the department budget may be considered in three parts. Communicable Disease: The prevention of communicable diseases, including tuberculosis and venereal disease requires over 40% of the time of the staff. The sanitary supervision of milk and water supplies, and other matters of environmental sanitation rank high in the regular disease prevention activi- ties of the department. Some of the services of this nature are itemized in Table I. Note is taken of the fact that there has been an overall quantitative increase of well over 100% in these activities since the organization of the department. This has been especially noticeable in the rural areas of the county where such services previously were minimal. Although changes in quality do not lend themselves to similar statistical analysis, striking improvements have been evident. 396 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors Approximately 9% of the Home Visits made by the Division of Public Health Nursing are related to the prevention of these diseases. Table II summarizes this phase of the Depart- ment's activities. Through the cooperation of private physicians, the essential information relating to the occurrence of these diseases, and the immunizations and other steps taken to prevent them, are collected and analyzed Tables III and IV illustrate the level of protection which is enjoyed by the community as the result of the coordinated efforts of public and private agencies, the medical profession and the citizens themselves. Maternal Infant and Child Health: With Tompkins County continuing to maintain one of the highest birth rates in upstate New York, approximately one-third of the work of the depart- ment is devoted to improving the health of expectant mothers and children Public Health nurses work closely with private physicians in demonstrating proper health practices to pros- pective and new mothers in home visits Infants and pre-school children who would not otherwise receive medical health super- vision services are eligible to attend child health conferences These are conducted by physicians with the assistance of pub- lic health nurses in various sections of the county. These con- ferences provide regular health examinations and immuniza- tions for the children, assistance to the mothers in understand- ing the emotional needs and the physical and mental develop- ment of the normal child, and advice on care and feeding of children It is estimated that less than 5% of the infants born to Tompkins County residents fail to receive such services pri- vately or from the Department. A large part of the time of a public health nutritionist, available without expense to the county through the School of Nutrition of Cornell University, is spent in advising and consulting with the staff in this area of departmental activities. A dental hygienist is available to examine and clean teeth and to apply sodium fluoride to the teeth of preschool children for the prevention of tooth decay She refers possible dental defects to a private dentist. The de- partment was instrumental in demonstrating the feasibility of applying sodium fluoride to the teeth of school children throughout the county leading to the establishment of a dental hygiene program in the rural schools of the county. Table V illustrates the activities in this field and Table VI pictures the status of the community problems related thereto. Tompkins County, New York 397 Other Activities . Somewhat under one-third of staff time is allocated for such other important activities as the collection and analysis of information related to births, deaths, and the occurrence of certain non -communicable diseases ; the general improvement of health in adults , prevention, control, and re- habilitation measures related to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, accidents, arthritis, and remedial physical defects of children, investigation of nuisances , general community activities of disease preventive and health promotional nature such as news items, radio talks, use of films, committee work, special classes and talks to community groups Such, of these activities as lend themselves to quantitative reporting are itemized in Table VII Table VIII shows the status of the problems confronting the community in some of these fields Conclusion In behalf of the staff, I wish to express appreci- ation to the Board of Supeivisors for their continued support, which has made possible the activities and results herein stated The budget appropriation for 1951 provides for the continuation of these efforts toward better health for all resi- dents of Tompkins County WILLIAM C.

What Are We Primarily, we are a general hospital, equipped and staffed to handle obstetrical, pediatric, surgical and medical cases of every kind. Secondly, we are an emergency hospital for acci- dents and all cases requiring immediate attention. How Many Do We Serve The use of the hospital in the past year has exceeded all previous records. There were : 5068 patients admitted 4000 people who used the accident and operating rooms and the X-ray department as out-patients 1230 babies were born This means that approximately one person in every seven in the County used the hospital facilities in the past year. It may be of interest to review the following statistics : Increase 1940 194-5 1950 Over 1940 Admissions 3,890 4,528 6,298 61 Bed Capacity 149 173 172 15 Patient Days 36,476 43,367 49,925 36 8% Tompkins County, New York 403 There were more patients admitted, more operations per- formed, more x-ray examinations made than ever before. All these achievements show the increasing importance of the hos- pital to the county that it serves. Patient Stay Is Shorter The use of penicillin, streptomycin, aureomycin, ACTH, cortisone, dicumerol and other "miracle drugs," plus early ambulation following surgery, resulted in a greater number of patients returning home sooner. The average stay for each patient during the year reached an all time low of just under 71/2 days Five years ago the average stay was 91/2 days. If the average stay had been 91/2 days this past year, almost 61,000 days of care would have been rendered a figure which is far beyond the hospital's present capacity. In actuality an average stay of 91/2 days would have simply reduced the number of patients admitted by 26%. It is commonly assumed that the normal occupancy rate is 80% for general hospitals. It has been found that this figure of 80% should not be exceeded in order that a sufficient num- ber of beds may be available to meet emergencies and day to day variations in demands for care. The saturation point has been reached on several of our wards For example the average daily occupancy on the men's ward was 92% and in the women's surgical ward 90%. Since this is a dangerously high occupancy rate, additional service cannot be provided without more patient space and supporting auxiliary facilities. Medical Staff It is a truism that a hospital is as good as its medical staff wants it to be and our doctors are constantly striving to pro- vide patients with the best medical care. Our doctors measure up to the highest standards of the American College of Surgeons and the American Medical As- sociation. In addition to a competent staff of general practitioners, there are specialists representing all the major specialized 404 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors fields of medicine including anesthesiology, dermatology, in- ternal medicine, obsetetrics and gynecology, opthalmology, orthopedic surgery, otolaryngology, patholgy, pediatrics, psy- chiatry, radiology, surgery, and urology. The active, honorary, and courtesy medical staff consists of 49 doctors who practice in Ithaca, and 19 doctors who practice in the surrounding towns. Educational Programs Members of our staff have given many, many, teaching hours for the education of resident physicians and nurses The clinical conferences of the staff provide for self education and a high percentage of doctors annually attend meetings of their own specialty group, as well as those of the American Medical Association and other types of a post graduate nature. Staff members have given liberally of their time in speaking on medical subjects of community interest at group meetings and on a weekly radio program. Emergency Service In addition to serving their own patients, members of the medical staff served the residents of the county by furnishing the Emergency Call System under the auspices of the Tomp- kins County Medical Society. This assures medical care for anyone who is in need of a doctor at night or on week ends but is unable to reach his family physician. Staff members take turns being on call for the Emergency Room Even so, in the past year 683 patients who came to the hospital for treatment requested the hospital to contact the doctor on call for them inasmuch as they had no doctor of choice. Resident Program During the year there were two resident physicians on duty in internal medicine and one resident in obstetrics and gyne- cology. Two surgical residents were on duty for the first six months. Resident physicians provide continuous coverage for pa- tients on the service to which they are assigned. In addition Tompkins County, New York 405 they are a constant stimulus to good work on the part of the staff. Report of Departmental Services Whether it is a newborn infant, a child, or an adult, all hospital services are focused on the patient. That each depart- ment could function most effectively in contributing to patient care, regular weekly conferences of department heads were held, and all concerned contributed to the better functioning of the hospital. The record number of patients under care in 1950 created heavy demands on the personnel in the various departments. Nursing Service A nurse's worth cannot be reckoned by her commercial earning power because there is no price tag on the alleviation of human suffering. We doubt that anyone, even the nurses themselves, can fully realize the importance of their work. In the several nursing units, surgery, delivery rooms, emer- gency room, and in central supply there are approximately 85 graduate nurses. These women are occupied with nursing care, supervisory work and teaching. All of them are regis- tered nurses and have completed courses of training in ap- proved schools. The practice of medicine is ever changing and new treat- ments are continually being used, therefore educational op- portunities for nurses were provided as follows: Within The Hospital Meetings with members of the medical staff who present- ed material and demonstrations on new trends in medi- cine and treatments. Meetings with representatives of other departments to discuss problems and changes in procedure. Away from The Hospital Attendance at special meetings and institutes. Instruction in nursing aspects of Atomic Warfare . 406 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors Nursing salaries are the largest single item of cost in any hospital. This is particularly true in our case because we must have liberal personnel policies to attract nurses to the city. There are three other institutions, numerous doctors and den- tists offices, and industry, competing for the nurses who do come into the community. We have an inefficient physical layout of plant requiring more nurses than would be needed if the hospital physically had kept pace with modern hospital practice. Another factor to be reckoned with is the lack of a school of nursing to provide a continuing number of trained people to meet the community needs for nurses. To relieve the shortage of registered nurses and to effect monetary savings, non-professional personnel are used where - ever possible within the limits of safe patient care. The aver- age number of employees in the Nursing Department in- cluded : 1949 1950 Registered Nurses 92 85 Practical Nurses 11 22 Nurses Aides 23 21 Orderlies 11 10 Practical Nurse School In 1950, after completing their pre -clinical course at the Ithaca High School, 17 students were sent to the hospital for their clinical experience compared to 13 in 1949. The practical nurse is becoming an important member of the nursing team Working under the direction of the doctor and the super- vision of the professional nurse she gives care to the con- valescent and chronically ill patient. Too, working as an assis- tant to the professional nurse, she gives care to the acutely ill patient. The practical nurse students have made a splendid contribution to the total nursing service. The number of students graduating each year is not ade- quate to meet the needs of this community and every effort should be made, by the community as well as by the hospital, and Board of Education, to encourage more young women to enter the Ithaca School of Practical Nursing. Dietary Care Most people take a great deal for granted in observing that hospital patients are fed on schedule but an examination of Tompkins County, New York 407 the procedure which results in a seemingly casual distribution of food shows it to be a well defined science within itself which produces its own peculiar problems. During 1950 an average staff of 41 people prepared and served 128,000 meals to patients while in the cafeteria 72,000 meals were sold to hospital personnel In addition to this, there were 169,000 "in between meal" nourishments prepared and served to patients by this department. The special diet unit prepared between 30 and 40 diets for each meal. These must be carefully prepared just as the pharmacist prepares a prescription ordered by the doctor The dietitian is beset with the same problems as the house- wife in these days of rising costs. Although these problems are magnified many times in the hospital, the Dietary Depart- ment makes every effort to serve attractive, wholesome meals within the limits of the budget. In 1950, $71,216 was spent for food alone while the expenditure for 1949 was $70,866. Surgery The Operating Room facilities have been hard pressed at times due to the increase in patients needing surgical atten- tion. There were 2765 operations performed—an increase of 315 operations over the record year of 1949. Not only have the number of operations increased but there is a marked increase in the number of the more difficult type of major operations. This indicates, unquestionably, that more people in the community are looking to their local surgeons and hospital to meet their surgical needs. There were 2260 anesthesias given in the Operating Room during the year. Modern anesthesia plays an increasingly im- portant role in surgery today because both specialties work together toward more rapid recovery of the patient from surgery. Mayor surgery requires the administration of special types of anesthesia and technique by doctors who specialize in this work. Many different types of anesthesia are used depending upon the patient's condition and the nature of the surgery contemplated. The operating room facilities were further expanded this 408 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors year by the purchase of endoscopic instruments and equip- ment. This equipment will make it possible to examine the interior of the lungs and also provide instruments for re- moval of foreign bodies which may be inhaled. Emergency Room The number of patients receiving treatment in the emer- gency room over the past several years has shown a marked increase This trend is bound to continue because more and more people turn to a hospital in times of emergency and there is an apparent increase in the number of automobile accidents. This trend can be seen in the following statistics : 1940 1945 1950 Patients treated in Emergency Room 326 370 1689 Another significant figure is the number of emergency pa- tients who were treated and admitted to the hospital. In 1949 there were 402 and in 1950 the figure was 619. At times when more than one person is admitted to the emergency room, doctors, nurses, and patients are made painfully aware of the need of more modern and adequate emergency facilities. Obstetrics The Maternity Department had the second heaviest year in the history of the hospital with 1230 babies born As a result of modern techniques in infant care and the purchase of new equipment, the hospital's performance in this depart- ment is noteworthy. The remodeling of the nurseries to comply with regulations of the New York State Health Department, while improving the care of the infant, has reduced the number of beds avail- able to mothers. Overcrowding during the periods of high census has created additional problems for personnel, doc- tors, and patients. X -Ray One of the most important diagnostic and therapeutic facilities of the hospital is the X-ray department. This depart- ment is equipped to handle all types of routine examinations as well as most types of special examinations. Tompkins County, New York 409 During the working day, routine and emergency examina- tions are carried out by the x-ray technicians under the direc- tion of the Radiologist who also administers deep x-ray and radium treatments. The radiologist is also trained in the use of radioactive isotopes. After 5 p.m. a technician is on call for emergencies, as is the radiologist, should his specialized train- ing and skills be required. The department cooperates with the resident teaching pro- gram and the radiologist is available at all times for consulta- tion concerning specific problems This close cooperation with the medical staff frequently makes possible diagnoses which would be difficult or even impossible by any other means The trained personnel in this department do all types of x-ray diagnosis and treatment with the exception of super- ficial x-ray therapy A machine designed for this type of work cannot be installed until further floor space becomes available. There is a significant increase in the numbers of patients treated in the x-ray department over the last ten years. 1940 19,45 1950 Number of Patients 894 1340 4670 Of those treated during the past year, 2349 were out-patients and were not admitted to the hospital. Pharmacy The pharmacy is the most extensively used of the thera- peutic facilities of the hospital. Directly or indirectly each patient receives daily pharmaceutical service. During the past several years the pharmacy experienced its greatest develop- ment through the epochal advances in chemo -therapy. In 1950 the hospital spent $34,737 for drugs. Over $10,000.00 was spent for new antibiotic drugs such as aureomycin, chloromycetin, and terramycin. In addition nearly $9,000 00 worth of peni- cillin preparations were purchased. During the year new re- leases of products of the adrenal gland such as cortisone and ACTH were also added to the list of life saving drugs. Ten years ago in 1940, the hospital spent $8,636 for drugs The pharmacy department instituted several changes in procedure Narcotics, formerly dispensed in tablet form, for hypodermic use, have been replaced by sterile solutions which 410 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors are manufactured in the pharmacy and are ready for instant use. This saves valuable nursing time and reduces the cost of narcotics. More rigid- controls on the recording and use of narcotics were instituted and new storage facilities for nar- cotics were placed at each nursing unit. Manufacturing of products used in the hospital was expand- ed during the year which resulted in a monetary savings. The pharmacy filled over 500 special prescriptions for patients as well as over 12,000 special floor orders. An inventory of $8154 was required to maintain the active beds in the hospital during 1950 compared with $3550 ten years ago. Physical Medicine Physical therapy is used as an adjunct to medical care It involves the use of heat, fight, water and other elements that have proved helpful in many cases to shorten convalescence and restore health. The acquisition of a new whirlpool bath, diathermy machine, and infra -red lamps has made it possible for hospital patients to receive 584 treatments compared to 41 in 1949. This department is run in conjunction with the Department of Physio -Therapy at Ithaca College. The technicians are ad- vanced students in physio -therapy and work under the super- vision of the director of the school. Housekeeping - Laundry - Maintenance The rapid turnover of patients has increased the work of each of these departments. The Housekeeping department, with the assistance of the Young Women's Hospital Aid and other volunteer groups has continued to make a number of hospital garments thus reduc- ing the cost of purchased linens. The laundry has accomplished a fine record in supplying clean linen to patients. Approximately 2/3 of a ton of linen is laundered daily. This volume was made possible by the in- stallation of new equipment in 1948 and 1949. Tompkins County, New York 411 The maintenance department completed over 3000 work or- ders for daily maintenance. In addition, personnel in this de- partment installed new sterilizing equipment, bed pan washers and sterilizers, a dish washing machine, tables, lavatories and utility sinks Several cabinets were built in the carpenter shop for the nursing units A large storage room was constructed off the main kitchen which, with the removal of a partition, enlarged the work area of the main kitchen and made for more efficient use of these facilities Although the painting of the hospital buildings is a continuing program, this year the nurses home was completely redecorated Medical Record The year 1950 was an exceedingly busy one for the Medical Records Department In addition to the routine work, new pro- cedures were undertaken as well The major undertaking was the microfilming of the almost 50,000 medical case histories stored in two rooms in the attic. These were brought to the basement and painstakingly sorted and checked in the early part of the year In May, on hospital day, a small part of the undertaking was demonstrated to the Tompkins County pub- lic On June 1st the actual work of the filming started and from then until early in December 1950, more than 1,000,000 sheets were sorted, classified, and finally filmed as part of the permanent archives of the Tompkins County Memorial Hos- pital medical records. At the end of the year the new system of classification of operations and diseases, a Standard Nomenclature of Diseases —with the new visible files, was instituted and has already ef- fected a large saving in time in the posting of case histories. Hospital Costs Hospital costs are spiraling because the economic problems facing hospitals are the same ones that face every individual Increased cost of supplies and equipment as well as increased cost of salaries and wages are obvious Other costs which are not so apparent include: 1. More complex and varied diagnostic and treatment pro- cedures. 2. Another little-known factor in todays' higher hospital costs is the shorter stay of most patients. In many cases, this 412 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors effects a saving in total cost to the patient due to the fewer number of days On the other hand, the hospital costs are greater, since the first few days of any patient's stay in a hospital is the most expensive period More labor, more drugs, and services of all kinds are expended during that period. Although it is true that with the aid of new drugs, the less acute cases are being treated at home, in general, people hos- pitalized today are really sick and thus need more intensive care. 3 Another reason for higher costs is the fact that the hospi- tal operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Complete service must be provided 168 hours a week rather than the 40 hours in most industries A full staff of professionally trained people must be on hand at all times Equipment that is not used all the time still must be available should it be needed. A hospital is like a fire department, it isn't worth anything at all unless you need it. HERE'S WHERE EVERY DOLLAR CAME FROM IN 1950 Income $ 65 from patients services $521,236 .005 from endowment funds (free bed funds) 5,473 04 from employees services, laundry, meals, and room 31,599 005 from laboratory rent and miscellaneous 4,286 02 from donations for equipment paid to County Treasurer 15,911 08 from credit for care of Welfare Patients 60,329 09 from Tompkins County Taxpayers 74,399 11 from New York State Taxpayers 90,310 $1.00 $803,543 HERE'S WHERE EVERY DOLLAR WENT Expense $ .67 for wages and salaries which in turn is spent locally $529,057 13 for supplies, drugs, linen, and repairs 103,655 .10 for food 79,891 .03 for steam, heat, water and electricity 27,478 .02 for ambulance, insurance, medical records and administration -17 406 .05 for replacing old and purchasing new equipment 46,056 $1.00 Total $803,543 Tompkins County, New York 413 Established Rates Charges to patients have not been increased since Novem- ber 1946 As a result hospital income has not kept pace with the rapidly spiralling costs. The weighted patient day income was $13 80 in 1950, while the expense per patient day was $17 22 This means that hospital charges to patients have been below cost In order to correct this, and to bring our rates in line with other hospitals, it is proposed to advance the charges for ward, semi -private and private room accommodations in 1951 It is expected that this will reduce the operating deficit somewhat Volunteer Personnel In 1950 1256 man-hours of volunteer help was rendered the hospital These volunteers were college students and citizens of the community. The importance of the work of the volun- teers cannot be over -emphasized. They worked on the medical and surgical wards, childrens' ward, and in the central supply department. Auxiliaries The Board of Trustees of the Hospital Corporation, while having no operational responsibilities, is actively functioning in its present capacity as a laision between the hospital and the members of the community.. It maintains and manages the hospital Endowment Fund and turns over to the hospital the income therefrom, either in the form of funds to assist in the payment of hospital bills for worthy individuals or as a contribution to the County's share of the hospital deficit During 1950 the principal of the Endowment Fund increased by $24,257, due to new bequests and gifts received. The Trustees are the recipients of the funds designated for hospital equipment by the Community Chest and Young Wo - mens Hosiptal Aid These funds in turn, are transferred to the County Treasurer by the Trustees. The Board of Trustees stand ready to assist the Board of Managers and the Board of Supervisors in any manner which may be requested. They have already indicated a desire to participate in financing a better public relations program, in- 414 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors eluding the employment of specialized personnel if deemed desirable. During the year the Young Women's Hospital Aid has Lived up to its avowed purpose: `.`To assist in the purchase of equip- ment and to provide for the well being of the patients " Funds were provided for the purchase of equipment for the kitchen, thousands of dressings were made by members of this group, and valuable assistance was given toward making Hospital Day a success The library service for patients continues to be a service which is enjoyed by patients The Parents Committee of the Childrens' Ward made pos- sible the services of a part-time Recreational Director to head the Volunteer Program for the children Members of the Par- ents Committee have given many hours of their time enter- taining our young patients This includes reading stories, playing records, distributing toys, and supervising games. The purpose of this organization is to promote the welfare of hospitalized patients. Outside the hospital, members spend much time collecting and repairing play material and at present are preparing a pamphlet for distribution which will show parents how to minimize the shock which hospitaliza- tion frequently presents for children Through the efforts of thus group there is much greater appreciation of the hospitals service and its problems, as well as improved understanding on the part of the hospital staff of the total needs of the sick child. The Women's Auxiliary of the Tompkins County Medical Society have been of assistance to the hospital in furnishing and serving refreshments for the graduating classes of the School of Practical Nurses, and on various other occasions during the year. It is increasingly apparent that the operation of a com- munity hospital is a cooperative project and the hospital as well as the citizens of the community are inter -dependent upon each other for the best service any hospital can give. Conclusion It is not possible to tell the story of Tompkins County Me- Tompkins County, New York 415 mortal Hospital through mere statistics and financial state- ments, for patients care cannot be measured in cold facts and figures And yet, the conclusion is inescapable, for the evidence is abundant that the hospital is making progress—significant, steady progress—and ever improving its service to the patient. The administration of the hospital takes justifiable pride in the steps that have been made and has unwavering confidence in the inevitable progress that the future will bring. The cooperation of the Board of Supervisors, Board of Man- agers, Board of Trustees, Young Women's Hospital Aid, The Parents Committee, Volunteers, Medical Staff, and the entire hospital personnel is most helpful. The interest shown by the press and local radio station, Community Chest, Junior Red Cross and our many friends is appreciated with sincere thanks. With continued understanding and cooperation in meeting every day problems in the operation of the hospital, more humane service will be possible for those who come to us in time of illness.
