1950, to investigate the need for new or additional hospital
facilities, has presented its report and has recommended the
construction of an addition which will, in effect, give the
people of Tompkins County the benefit of a new hospital on
the existing site and at the same time utilize the existing
structures , and the committee's report includes a set of plans
entitled "Proposal No 3" designed to carry out its recommen-
dation , and
Whereas, the members of this Board after giving careful
consideration to the matter believes that the proposal of the
Citizens' Committee is a logical and satisfactory solution to
the hospital problem which is facing this community, that,
in view of the tremendous cost involved in the construction
of a hospital center on a new site, the proposal to make use
of the present site and the existing buildings and at the same
time provide necessary new and modern facilities is more
practical and will undoubtedly meet with the general ap-
proval of the taxpayers ; and
Whereas the Board of Managers, which is charged by law
with the duty of erecting all necessary buildings and the
making of all necessary improvements, repairs and altera-
July 14, 1952 115
tions of existing buildings, has, by resolution unanimously
adopted on June 30, 1952, approved the idea of the Citizens'
Committee for additional hospital facilities on the present
site, and has recommended that the Citizens' Committee's
"Proposal No 3" be used as a basis for an application for state
and federal aid , and the Executive Committee of the Board
of Trustees of the Tompkins County Memorial Hospital Cor-
poration has also approved the said proposal.
Therefore Be It Resolved
1 That this Board approves in principle the Citizens' Com-
mittee's Proposal No 3 for the enlargement and moderniza-
tion of the Tompkins County Memorial Hospital on the exist-
ing site
2 That application be made to the appropriate federal and
state authorities for financial assistance in the carrying out
of such proposal
3 That this Board of Supervisors hereby guarantees the
payment of the County's share of the cost of construction of
the proposed new hospital facilities, including alterations to
existing structures and all needed equipment and accessories,
• the same to be obtained by public subscription or by a county
bond issue, or in such other manner as may be determined
by this Board.
4 That the Chairman of this Board be and he hereby is

Whereas, the assessment of property in the Town of Dryden

East by Mosely, South and West by the Highway, appears to
be erroneous in that the said property was at the time of as-
sessment owned by another person;
And Whereas the said property was purchased by the
County at tax sale and conveyed to the county by deed of the
County Treasurer dated October 16, 1931 and recorded in
Book 227 of Deeds at page 432;
Resolved upon recommendation of the Tax Sale Committee,
that the County Treasurer be and he hereby is authorized
and directed to cancel and expunge the said tax hen from his
records without prejudice to the County to reassert its claim
in case the said lien should hereafter be determined to be
valid.

After committee investigation Mr. Bower, Chairman of the
Equalization Committee, presented the following report:
"Nov 10, 1952
"Your Equalization Committee wishes to report on the ap-
peal of Mr Scofield and Mr Payne to review the equalization
rates for the towns of Lansing and Newfield
"We find, after spot checking and appraising about 25
pieces of property in each town, assisted by the Chairman of
Assessors from the Towns of Ulysses, Groton and Dryden,
that we are entirely justified in keeping the Town of Lansing's
equalization rate at 91 and the Town of Newfield's at 97
"In the spot checking we picked property at random To get
a good cross-section we checked farms and old and new resi-
dential property covering a large area in each town.
"The most outstanding inequality or very low assessment
we found in Lansing where we checked a piece of property
now assessed at $21,500 It was appraised by us as being
worth at least $100,000 and it should be assessed for 40 or
November 10, 1952 223
50% of this figure _to be in line with similar property, as as-
'sessed in other towns in the county.
"Assessments on much of the new residential property—
of which we found a surprisingly large amount in both the
towns of Newfield and Lansing—were in our estimation very
low, decidedly so in Lansing. We found most property of this
type assessed at only from $2,000 to $3,000 The average as-
sessment per parcel, less franchises and utilities, in each
town seems to be well under $2,000. This average includes
farms—old and new residential, lots, etc.
"In reviewing the assessments for the last eleven years, we
found all the towns and city have had some increase in as-
sessed valuation While it is admitted that Lansing has Lost
more heavily in franchises and industrial property, we feel
that the town is still very fortunate when compared with most
other towns in the county who have no industrial property
at all In fact, franchises, utilities and industrial property
carry about 35% of the tax load in Lansing, and about 30%
in the town of Newfield.
"To show the sharp contrast of the overall assessed valua-
tion increase from 1941 to 1952 we present the following fig-
ures as calculated from several Proceedings of the Board and
the 1952 tax rolls.

"In working with this problem, as we told you in last year's
report, we have not been unduly influenced by gains shown
in the last year or two, but rather we are trying to correct
inequalities we feel have existed for years.
"After spending many hours, checking, appraising and do-
ing research, and after carefully reviewing all the facts, we
recommend that the following rates as being the percentage

Mr. Bower moved that the above rates be the rates estab-
lished for equalization purposes for the year 1953.
Seconded by Mr. Downey.
Discussion followed Vote was taken and motion carried.
Mr 'Bower further made the following statement :
"As a means to end all this dissatisfaction within the county,
I would personally like to recommend again that some time
in the near future we have every piece of property in the
county appraised by experts I feel we could then be sure,
with the cooperation of our assessors, that every town and the
city are assessed at a rate equal in every respect, to its true
value "

Mr Downey offered the following resolution and moved its
adoption :

Committee, commented regarding the letters from the Civil
Service Association and the County Employees Association
relative to proposed salary increases. He compared salaries for
typists and senior account clerks in 1946 and the present time
and asserted that the committee believes it has gone as far
as possible in increasing salaries.
Resolution No 142 Increase of Workmen's Compensation
Reserve Fund
Mr Downey offered the following resolution and moved its
adoption :
Whereas there has been expended more than $16,000 in the
past year for workmen's compensation and the expense of op-
eration of the self insurance mutual plan pursuant to sub-
226 November 10, 1952
division 3-a of §50 of the Workmen's Compensation Law;
and the reserve fund heretofore established is inadequate
Resolved that the Reserve Fund be increased from $18,500
to $30,000 and that the sum of $4000 be raised in 1953 for the
reserve fund,
And Be It Further Resolved that the amount required for
operation of the plan in 1953 be estimated at $18,000 which
amount shall be raised from the participating municipalities
in addition to the amount above specified for the reserve fund

SEVENTH DAY
Monday, November 17, 1952
Roll call All members present except Messrs. Vail and
Lounsbery.
Minutes of monthly meeting of November 10 approved as
typed
Town budgets of the towns of Groton and Ithaca received
and referred to the Finance Committee.
Grand Jury lists from the town of Danby and the Third
Ward of the city received and referred to the Committee on
Courts and Correction.
The Clerk read a letter from the County Civil Defense Direc-
tor inviting supervisors to a senior wardens' meeting in the
Court House this evening at 7 :30.
The financial report of the Commissioners of Election with
the apportionment of election expenses by the county and the
several political subdivisions thereof was received and referred
to the Committee on Town Officers' Accounts.
Harry Gordon, Town of Ithaca supervisor, requested the
floor to issue the following prepared statement •
"Ever since the day the equalization rates were decided,
I have been extremely disturbed at the ill will built up amongst
the members of the Board of Supervisors. It is not the pur-
pose of any of the members of the Board to create this feeling,
for it is apparent that for at least ten months of the year
harmony exists, but as soon as the question of equalization
rates comes up then the trouble begins.
"I feel that it is about time a concerted effort be made
to avoid this unpleasantness. I have made enemies in my own
town when I questioned some of the valuations, for I feel
definitely there are inequities I have been beseiged at various
times by school trustees and school tax collectors because of
232' November 17, 1952
the inequities within the town, and also when the school dis-
trict extends into another town.
"I am rather surprised that any one would question the
idea of doing an honest and sincere job for the taxpayers.
It has been stressed that it would cost at least $1 00 per $1,000
to pay for this reappraisal, and also that local people were able
to make this survey. As for the cost, I think it is the cheapest
price one can pay for goodwill within the board.
"Now I don't mean expedient action, but genuine action, for
I am tired of having some members point out to me some of
the outstanding inequities within the Town of Ithaca. I know
it and admit it, but I am wilting to rise or fall on my vote for
this re -appraisal ; and I feel that with your permission and
without being recriminating that the members of the board
should take action on this re -appraisal proposition or cease
criticizing the values of the Town of Ithaca. As to the ones
to do the job I have no choice, but I will challenge the state-
ment, unless proven unmistakably to the contrary, that local
people could do as well or better.
"In conclusion, I feel this re -appraisal must be done, if
for one reason only, and that is that goodwill be returned
within the Board and within the county."
Mr. Broich, Chairman of the Town Officers' Accounts,
submitted the following report of the committee relative to
the report of the Commissioners of Election, pertaining to the
election expenses and believes the same to be a true statement
of the Election Expenses of the county for the year 1952.
We recommend that the apportionment of Election Expenses
for the current year, as made by the Election Commissioners
be accepted and adopted by the Board, and that the several
sums charged to the county, city and towns be assessed
against, levied upon and collected from the taxable property
of Tompkins County and the several towns and city therein

County of Tompkins
City of Ithaca
Town of Carohne

bers of the Board

EIGHTH DAY
Tuesday, November 25, 1952
Roll call. All members present except Mr. Vail.
Ten o'clock being the time advertised for the public hearing
on the tentative budget the Chairman recessed the board
meeting
The public hearing attracted approximately twenty persons,
including eight citizens of Indonesia, and Mr. Downey, Chair-
man of the Finance Committee, submitted the following re-
port:
"Your Committee in studying this budget took into consid-
eration the fine work accomplished by each departmental
committee. Inasmuch as department heads were allowed to
lower their requests to meet changes of the committee, this
budget actually calls for about $70,000 less than was orig-
inally requested, therefore our Committee has only made a few
minor changes These will be pointed out in our report.
"As the Budget Director reported, this budget represents a
new high for Tompkins County. The total increase we are
recommending amounts to $44,744 17 more than was adopted
for 1952.
"If this budget is adopted as presented it will mean a tax
levy of approximately the same as last year. It is not as good
as was hoped, inasmuch as we had an assessment increase of
over $3,000,000.
"Within a short time we will give you a report showing
where this increased money will be spent Time did not permit
us to have this ready in detail this morning."
Following the minute reading of the budget an opportunity
was given for' public expression of opinion.
Mr William Wilkinson, president of the City Taxpayers'
Association, and a former member of the board, spoke briefly
238 November 25, 1952

Your Committee on Equalization reports that they have
examined the assessment rolls of the several tax districts in

do not bear such just relations to the valuations in all the tax
districts of the county, and your committee would recommend
that the valuations of the several tax districts, in order that

REPORT OF THE COUNTY HISTORIAN FOR 1952
To the Board of Supervisors
I hereby submit my report as County Historian for the
year 1952
The County Historian attended the meetings for local his-
torians held at the Hotel Statler in Buffalo, February 6-7
in connection with the New York State Town Officers annual
conference
I wrote and mailed letters to sixteen historians and museum
officials outlining a plan for a regional meeting to discuss our
common problems and to simplify and regulate museum prac-
tice
Attended a meeting held at the Onondaga Historical As-
sociation in Syracuse for the purpose of furthering the aims
and purposes contained in my letter of invitation to his-
torians and museum officials Much practical knowledge was
gained from the conference and it was decided to continue the
idea
I assisted the Department of History at Syracuse Univer-
sity in preparing a letter to persons in Tompkins County who
might be interested in attending the summer seminar on his-
toryYconducted by members of the faculty at Cooperstown,
N
During the year I spoke before three organization groups on
county history
The former curator of the Historical Society passed away
suddenly in March and was replaced by Mrs El Dora Stew-
art A request was made to the Board of Supervisors for a
modest salary for the curator and the request was granted
This appropriation and a similar one from the Common Coun-
cil of the city of Ithaca has given the Historical Society a
much more stable existence and the County Historian was
glad to assist in promoting this worthy enterprise
During the year numerous inquiries have been received by
mail for information concerning the county's historyand early
families In every case the information requested has been
398 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
given but if not known by me, references have been given
where further inquiry could be made.
Also during the year I have been interviewed by many stu-
dents seeking information on the county's history in connec-
tion with their social studies and it has afforded me much
satisfaction to comply with these requests
Respectfully presented by,
W Glenn Norris,
County Historian

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WELFARE
Chairman Stevenson and Members of the Board of Supervisors
I herewith make my report as Commissioner of Public
Welfare for the year 1952
We continued the repair program at the County Farm that
we started in 1951 We changed some partitions and gave
the Superintendent a private office, redecorated the living
quarters, sanded and polished the two floors, all very much
improving the quarters of the family Repainted the women's
quarters and put on some new ceilings Put metal lath and
tinted plaster on the walls of the men's quarters, repainted
woodwork and ceilings, applied asphalt tile to the floor and
therefore improved the men's quarters Had fire doors replace
the windows at the fire escapes, had the fire doors in the wo-
men's quarters rehung to swing out and have had panic exit
bolts installed
The metal roofs on 'the outbuildings and barn were painted
with aluminum paint They look good and we feel the home
and farm buildings are in good repair.
We had to replace one boiler in the home and it is giving
satisfaction -
We are selling our milk and have had the stables white-
washed and painted I believe from all estimates this should
show a fine increase in income from the farm for 1953 A
new milk cooler was installed and six milk cans had to be
purchased We are milking 15 cows, have 2 bulls and 10 heifers
growing At this time we have 19 pigs and about 250 laying
hens
There has had to be some necessary reorganization in the
Department because of Mr Slade and Mrs D. L F. Brown
having to retire because of age. We have employed one typist
extra in the Accounting Department We have employed one
experienced worker part-time and I am sure with this extra
a better job of investigation can be made and in the end we
will save money.
During the year we sold 11 properties for $28,468.12 and
have 2 properties still to close

considered highly successful and efforts are being
made to prevent a repetition of the errors during
the exercise scheduled for May 1953
The public response to the exercise and the

1 Welfare Center Management
2 Mobile Feeding Teams

1 Medical Team
2 Rescue Teams
2 Public Works Teams
1 Radiological Team
All of the above teams were trained, and effi-
ciently performed their duties during their par-
ticipation in this exercise It is particularly de-
sirable to commend Dr. Ralph Low for his interest
in the Civil Defense program as this was the sec-
ond year he headed a team On this occasion he
got up from a sick bed to carry on His interest
in the Medical Service is an inspiration to all who
have observed him work.
The operations of the Tompkins County Rescue
Service were particularly noteworthy and a pic-
ture of one of the teams operating in Johnson City
appeared in the October 25th issue of the Bing-
hamton Press
A total of eighty-five volunteers from Tompkins
County took part in this exercise
2. Operational Plans
Twenty-four "OPERATIONAL PLANS" for the em-
ployment of services or agencies in the Civil Defense or-
ganization have been submitted to the New York State
Civil Defense Commission for approval Sixteen have been
approved, two are no longer required and six are awaiting
action Two of the latter have been approved by area
headquarters: Police and Public Works. Administrative,
Legal and Staff annexes are in the process of preparation.
All of these "Operational Plans" require constant revision
Tompkins County, New York 417
due in part to changing personnel New directives, made
necessary as the Civil Defense program progresses, are
also an important factor requiring the constant revision of
plans.
3. Road Signs
During the month of December, through the coopera
tion of the State Highway Department, five large dimen-
sional signs were placed as follows :
One, measuring 4' x 5' was placed at each of the three
aid check points at Newfield, Danby and Dryden. Each
of these signs read:
500 FEET AHEAD
AID CHECK POINT
NO (1, 2 or 3)
(Civil Defense Insignia)
ITHACA-TOMPKINS COUNTY CIVIL DEFENSE
Two signs, each measuring 5' x 61/2' were placed on
Highway 13 One at the boundary between Tompkins and
Cortland Counties and one at the boundary between Tomp-
kins and Schuyler Counties Each of these signs read •

tage of group meetings to register personnel for Civil
Defense
b. "Dead wood" is being eliminated.
c. The Director, the Director of Training and Recruiting,
the Chief of the Warden Service and the Chief of the
Aircraft Warning and Ground Observer Branch have
appeared on numerous occasions before civic groups
to increase interest in Civil Defense and to stimulate
recruiting Among the organizations addressed were
the Federated Women's Clubs, the Veterans of'Foreign
Wars, Troop "4" Girl Scouts (Tiotomca District),
Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, Loyal Order of
Moose, various Parent -Teacher's Associations, Inter -
fraternal Council (composed of representatives from

Fuertes Council Boy Scouts of America, Post 12 Boy
Scouts, Council of Social Agencies, Golden Age Club,
Naval Reserve Officers, R 0 T C Staff at Cornell Uni-
versity, Colored Masons, Colored Elks, the Machinists'

WHCU.
6. Communacattaons
The Communications Division has secured a large school
bus which has been remodeled for Civil Defense CommlZni-
cation purposes It is fitted with bunks to enable two radio
operators to sleep at one time and has cooking facilities
to the extent of a two -burner bottled gas stove One com-
plete side from the back of the driver's seat to the rear
Tompkins County, New York ' 419,
door is devoted to operation Five operators can work in
this space at one time. ,
The bus is equipped with a telephone which can be
"plugged in" at certain locations within the county, thus
affording telephonic communication.
A 110 -volt power supply is afforded by a motor mount-
ed within the trunk.
This bus will be the Net Control Station at the County
Court House in_ test exercises and in the event of emer-
gencies.
•7. Rescue Equipment
Because of a $2,400 appropriation by the County Board&
of Supervisors for Rescue Equipment, the Civil Defense
has been able to fully equip two Rescue teams and to par-
tially equip two additional teams Cooperation of local -
firms engaged in work using Rescue -type equipment is a
great asset to the Rescue training.
8 Automatic Aad
The following mobile teams constitute the automatic aid
which Tompkins County is required to send to Bingham-
ton without further instructions :
3 Mobile Feeding Teams
1 Clothing -Registration & Inquiry Team
1 Lodging -Emergency Aid Team
1 Welfare Center Management Team
1 Rescue Team
11 Public Works Teams
The above teams are now trained except one Public
Works Team which lacks equipment and are ready to per-
form their automatic aid functions
The following mobile teams constitute the aid which
Tompkins County is required to maintain on a "stand-by"
basis, awaiting instructions as to further employment :
4
420 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
6 Mobile Feeding Teams
2 Clothing -Registration and Inquiry Teams
2 Lodging -Emergency Aid Teams
2 Welfare Center Management Teams
The above teams are being trained. Five mobile feeding
teams lack the feeding equipment which they must have to
accomplish their mission
1
In the event of an attack against Binghamton, all medi-
cal personnel including doctors, dentists, pharmacists,
veterinarians, nurses, nurses' aides, medical aides, messen-
gers and clerks will proceed to Binghamton in their own
transportation or otherwise, as individuals or small groups,
regardless of any organization •
9. General
The purchase of helmets, brassards, equipment for two
Mobile Feeding Teams and the insurance and license fee
for the Communications Bus during the coming year will
add greatly to the morale and esprit de corps of those vol-
unteers who so unstintingly give of their time and effort
to the Civil Defense program
10. Recommendations
a It.is urgently recommended that each county super-
visor seriously concern himself with helping the Senior
Warden in his area recruit more personnel for the
