Resolution No 85 To Permit Inspection of County Public

Mr. Greenwood offered the following resolution and moved

Whereas, Section 136 of the Social Welfare Law of the State

effective March 25, 1953, empowers this Board of Supervisors
to authorize inspection of the public welfare rolls of the
County of Tompkins by a person or agency considered entitled
to such information, and
Whereas, experience in other states has demonstrated that
opening the rolls to inspection has resulted in removal of sus-
picion of maladministration from the public mind, in discour-
aging attempts to obtain public assistance by persons not
legally entitled to receive such aid and in encouraging care-
ful and complete investigation of applications for public as-
sistance to the benefit of bona fide recipients of assistance and
with savings to the taxpayers, and
Whereas, experience also has shown that no harmful effects
result, damaging the best interests either of the community at
large or of the persons in need of public aid, and
Whereas, the right of citizens to know how public money is
spent is fundamental to the principles of democratic govern-
ment, now be it, therefore
July 13, 1953 107
Resolved, that the Tompkins County Board of Supervisors
considers a taxpaying citizen of this county or an agency rep-
resenting taxpaying citizens to be entitled to information con-
tained in the public welfare records of this county and, be it
further
Resolved, that the Tompkins County Board of Supervisors
hereby authorizes inspection by such citizen or agency of the
records of names, addresses and amounts received by or ex-
pended for persons receiving or applying for public assistance

EIGHTH DAY
Tuesday, November 24, 1953
The Board was called to order at 7 30 P M and the Chair-
man opened the public hearing on the budget, with about
twenty persons present He then called upon Mr. Downey,
Chairman of the Finance Committee, to present a report of
that committee
Mr. Downey submitted the following report
In recommending this budget your finance committee would
like to report that we have made only minor changes from
the budget recommended by the budget director, due to the
fact that we sat in on most meetings of the various commit-
tees before their reports were made to the board. We also met
with the budget director when he prepared his budget. We do
however wish to comment on the sheriff's budget which shows
a large increase
We discussed the question of night patrol at some length
While we have little faith that night patrol will accomplish
what is expected of it, due to the fact there are about 1100
miles of roads in the county to be covered, but in view of
public demand and the fact a new sheriff takes office January,
1, 1954 we wanted to give him a chance to try out this plan
we decided to go along with it for a year against our better
judgment, and if it did not do more than we expected we would
recommend next year that this service -be eliminated even
though it might be recommended by that committee.

Harry A Kerr, tax consultant, who worked with the
Equalization Committee, submitted a report of his work since
April 13, 1953 His report shows the information he assembled
and in conclusion submitted the following summary :
1. Farm property in general is better assessed than
other types of property.
2 Newer houses and old houses remodeled and sold are
November 30, 1953 243
assessed at a higher percentage than are many excel-
lent homes that have not been on the market in the
last 15 years
3 In many towns the low assessments go to those who
"grieve" extensively on the second Tuesday in August
and comparatively high assessments will be on prop-
erties of owners who are not so willing and quick to
criticize.
4. There is greater spread or inequalities within most
tax districts in Tompkins than there is between these
same tax districts
Mr. Bower, Chairman of the Equalization Committee, sub-
mitted the following report of said committee :
In arriving at the equalization rates your committee is
about to recommend for 1954, we want you to know they are
the result of a quite thorough cross section check of the esti-
mated 16,400 pieces of all kinds of property in the towns and
city, a recognition of values as affected by location, land
value, inflation, roads, conveniences, depreciation, income pro-
ducing ability, etc
All of this has entailed some twenty committee meetings
throughout the year.
The inequalities we found within the towns and city we
do not understand and are not too much concerned with. We
feel this is the assessors' problem But the inequalities cur-
rently existing between the various towns and city must be
recognized and they must be correlated if an equitable re-
lationship is to exist and each unit within the county is to pay
a fair share of the tax load
- The explanation of why our recommended rates contrast
so sharply with those given by the state is explained clearly
by Mr Thorne of the State Board of Equalization and As-
sessment He says "Because of a difference of purpose, a
finding by the State Board of a different rate than that fixed
by the county for the same tax unit is not a criticism or re-
flection on the fairness of the county equalization rate " He
also states, ,`_`The loss of assessment by fire or demolition
should have no effect on the rate What we are concerned with
is the rate of assessment in proportion to true value."

It is a tough job when so many factors are involved If we
were to use the findings of Mr Kerr on sales with their rela-
tionship to assessments alone, the spread in the rates would be
very drastic. Although, after a few years we believe these
sales records will paint a true picture as to the value of
property and the percent it should be assessed, especially in
view of the court's opinion to listen ,to sales value alone in
settling formal actions So in addition to the sales factor, we
have taken into consideration these factors: past equaliza-
tion rates • the job as it has been done or attempted to be done
by the assessors ; the findings of our committee by spot check-
ing, and to these we have added a "common sense"factor.
In summarizing our study, we do anticipate some dissatis-
faction from members of the Board and we admit some from
members of the Committee, but in the interests of what we
believe is right, we unanimously recommend these equaliza-
tion rates as being the percentage of assessed value to true
value for 1954 We feel they are more realistic, more equitable
and a further step in the right direction than any that have
been submitted since 1925. They are :
Caroline 90%
Danby 88
Dryden 93%
Enfield 87%
Groton 93%
Ithaca City 89%
Ithaca Town 95%
Lansing 83%
Newfield 88%

REPORT OF EQUALIZATION COMMITTEE FOR APPOR-
TIONMENT OF GENERAL AND HIGHWAY TAX LEVIES
FOR THE YEAR 1954
To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County, N Y.
Your Committee on Equalization reports that they have
examined the assessment rolls of the several tax districts in
the County of Tompkins, for the purpose of ascertaining
whether the valuation in one tax district bears a just relation
to the valuations in all the tax districts in the county , that in
the opinion of the members of the committee such valuations
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
they may bear such just relations, be increased or diminished
according to the following statements so as to make the aggre-
gate equalized valuations as indicated in the tabular statement
below

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC
WELFARE
Chao man Harvey Stevenson and Members of the Board of
Supervisors .
I herewith submit my report as Commissioner of Public
Welfare for the year of 1953:
This has not been an eventful year except for the legisla-
tion passed at the end of the legislative session putting the wel-
fare departments of the State on a new plan of reimbursement
which adds to our cost and, unless legislation is passed to cover
conflicting views of Children's Court Judges and the New York
State Department of Social Welfare, may cost us at least
$50,000 00 additional and our present cost will increase about
$50,000 00 on other categories Therefore, if we finally secure
reimbursement on Child Welfare it will even tip some of our
losses
The Children's Court Judges are jealous of their prerogative
of control of children 'out of their homes and must release these
children to we welfare commissioners if we are to get our re-
imbursement The word "discharged" or "committed" does
not secure reimbursement and we commissioners of the South-
ern Tier have proposed the word "placed" in the care of the
Commissioner or Public Welfare We hope it may prevail
Fbr some reason we have a considerable turnover among
our workers and it does make it difficult to get the work done,
but it is all regular—no trouble with any of the employees One
married, one secured a Ford Scholarship, one was pregnant,
one needed an operation, one was taken to the Medical De-
partment to replace Miss Kane and then Bertha Hines left us
December 31 for a job that paid $1,000 00 more than we did
There is no chance for advancement while our present Case
Supervisor remains with us and therefore the ambitious work-
ers are going to leave
If I do say it, we are doing a good job on intake and Mrs
Reed uses -excellent judgment in refusing applicants and urg-
ing them to get jobs It works very often and as- a result there
are fewer cases go to investigators Our watch word for 1954
is to be tough and we mean it We have been careful but able-
Tompkins County, New York 395
bodied men and women have got to work Jobs can be found.
If nothing else, they can clean the roadsides and cemeteries
of bush and weeds.
January 1, 1953 we had the following cases and the record
for December 31st follows :
69 Home Relief 31
489 Old Age Assistance 429
104 Aid to Dependent Children 68
11 Aid to Blind 10
60 Aid to Disabled 61
185 Child Welfare 195
Child Welfare Department feel they are a bit superior to
Public Welfare In fact, say "their children are not on relief,"
but the money comes from the welfare budget so it appears to
me that indicates relief I am going to change some rules for
1954 until the State Department tells me it cannot be done.
In Public Assistance some of the results are in good social
work and our efforts to get relatives to support and we are
having pretty fair success I believe there are some old people
kept from applying by their children because of this' work
being well done
The expenditures of the various sums in our budget are :

I assume the amount returned goes to the General Fund to
build hospitals or roads and bridges, except the mile in front
of the County Home and that is the only piece between Cayuga
and Seneca Lakes on that road in that condition
396 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
To get ahead of Chairman Stevenson giving this returned
sum the same percentage the other balance receive, the actual
amount of cash will be over $45,000 00. The budget estimate
includes Federal, State and local monies and the average re-
imbursement is 70% not 80%.

that totaled 196 There were 252 lodgings and 564 meals
The Farm produced .
29 tons Clover hay

Tompkins County, New York 397
Inventory of foods and supplies on hand as of December 31,
1953 amounts to $4,885 51 and we can hope to have reimburse-
ment of 50% on same. Constant inventory will have to be kept.
Just how claims are to be made is still in the air. No one ap-
pears to know
During 1953 we purchased a Disc harrow, hayloader, binder,
manure spreader, power lawn mower and a Chevrolet pickup
truck.
We hope 1954 will work out well and our relations with the
Board of Supervisors may be satisfactory.
Respectfully submitted,

EXTRACTS FROM THE 1953 REPORT OF THE
DIRECTOR OF CIVIL DEFENSE
* * *
During 1953, the Civil Defense Program in Tompkins
County was implemented by Command Post Exercises involv-
ing all services, by training exercises involving single services,
by "OPERATION ITHACA," (a Civil Defense test exercise
held in Tompkins County on May 23rd) and by participation
in,the New York State conducted test exercise in Binghamton,
New York on July 9th, 10th and 11th
It is desired to express appreciation to those persons who
realize the necessity for having an organization which should
be able to efficiently serve its community either in time of
war or in a major disaster
It is further desired to express appreciation to the Town
Boards of Danby, Ithaca and Newfield for their recognition of
the importance of Civil Defense by appropriating modest sti-
pends for their respective directors

EXPLANATORY REMARKS ,
*—Including 10 messengers
"—The names of 350 persons assigned to plant protection
duties by their respective industries have been submitted to
this office and are now on file Approximately 100 more plant
protection personnel are needed to carry out these duties in
the smaller industries in the county which have not re-
sponded to calls from this office
Of the 350 persons mentioned above, many have registered for
Civil Defense and are performing duties in its various serv-
ices in addition to being plant protection personnel In order to
prevent these persons from being counted twice, line No ,17

RECOMMENDATIONS
1 That an adequate air raid warning system be installed in
the City of Ithaca and in the adjacent densely populated
area.
2. That radio equipment be installed on each appropriate piece
of fire apparatus within the county and at a designated fire
headquarters It is further recommended that full advan-
tage be taken of Federal Matching Funds to defray one
half of the cost of such equipment
3 That all Town Boards make funds available for modest
salaries to their respective Directors of Civil Defense
4 Because of the fact that Civil Defense is designed to assist
in major catastrophes (floods, tornadoes, fires, etc) as
well as in the event of war, it is suggested that all County
and Municipal Officers, particularly members of the Coun-
ty Board of Supervisors and the Common Council assume
active Civil Defense leadership in their respective commu-
nities
5. Attention is invited to the following letter regarding con-
scription for Ground Observers dated 30 December 1953,
fron the Director to the Director of the New York State
Civil Defense Commission
HEADQUARTERS
ITHACA-TOMPKINS COUNTY CIVIL DEFENSE
COUNTY COURT HOUSE
ITHACA, NEW YORK
30 December 1953
Lt General Clarence R Huebner, Director
New York State Civil Defense Commission
124 East 28th Street
New York 16, New York
Dear General Huebner :
It is recommended that, effective at the earliest practicable '
date, the New York State Civil Defense Council, conscript
persons to serve in the Ground Observer Corps, in accordance
with the authority vested in it pursuant to Par 2c, Section 26
402- Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
of article III of the New York State Defense Emergency Act
dated April 16, 1951
The reasons for this recommenation are as follows :
1 Our national civil and military leaders have, repeatedly
stated that the safety of our country, in a large measure,
depends upon the continuous manning of these posts
2. These posts' are not being so manned, therefore, a great
danger exists, and no effective measure is now being taken
to fill this gap in our defenses.
3 If New York State takes such a step, the seriousness of the
'situation will be brought home to each of its citizens and
other states and Canada may well follow this example
4 The public, in general, believes that the operation of these
posts is entirely unnecessary and nothing short of con-
scription will ever bring about continuous operation, if the
international situation is unchanged.
5 In Tompkins County, which probably is an average county
in New York State, the six Ground Observer posts are op-
erational only about 33% of the time Attention is invited
to the attached Filter Center Newsletters The situation is
so bad, that, according to the Newsletter dated 8 December
1953, only 14 of the 162 posts within the Syracuse Filter
Center area were operational 50% or better for the period
considered The Newsletter dated 27 October 1953, fists
only 28 of the 162 posts, either because these posts were
not interested enough to even submit the required monthly
report or because it was deemed better not to include a post
with less than 31 operational hours for the entire month of
September.
6. In Tompkins County present trends indicate that the pres-
ent percentage of operational hours will be further reduced
because many persons are themselves dropping out of the
program for the reason that they relieve no one upon going
on duty and no one relieves them when their tour is com-
pleted This condition has been overlooked by many in the
months passed but the Assistant Chief Oberver for Mon-
day's for the Ithaca post, stated that should such continue
through January he can no longer be counted upon to help.
This is typical
Tompkins County, New York 403
7. One post (Ludlowville) registered 130 persons, who signed
the loyalty oath and stated that they would serve in an ob-
server capacity At the present time only one of this number
is serving and she is the only active observer The re-
mainder refuse to serve The Ludlowville Town Board re-
fuses to help Another post (Trumansburg), although
rehabilitated completely in both organization and person-
nel last April, after six weeks of fairly satisfactory opera-
tion efficiency, is now averaging less than 34 hours ,a
month Other posts are far from satisfactory
8 The leadership (with possibly one exception) in all cases,
at the post level, is considerably above average, and the
Director, his immediate assistants and the Syracuse Filter
Center personnel have done everying physically possible
to raise the present standards In this connection special
award certificates, posters, meetings, social gatherings,
films, newspaper publicity with photographs on too many
occasions to even mention, and continuous radio appeals,
may be listed.
9 If the continuous operation of these posts in Tompkins
County is as necessary to our national safety as has been
repeatedly stated, and I for one believe that it is, to con-
tinue in our present "slip shod" ways is doing more harm
here to Civil Defense than it is doing good and a change is
mandatory
With best wishes for the New Year,
Sincerely,
RALPH HOSPITAL

REPORT OF THE COUNTY HISTORIAN FOR 1953
To the Board of Supervisors •
The County Historian hereby submits a summary of his
activities for the year 1953
On January 6th I gave a talk on the Early History of Ithaca
before the Tompkins County Chapter of the D A R and on
January 24th a talk on regional history was given before a
women's club in the town of Lansing In May I gave a lecture
on the Indian Trailways of Central New York before the Cen-
tral New York Archeological Society at Auburn, N Y. In Oc-
tober I spoke before a community club in Etna on the history
of that region ,
I attended the meeting of local historians February 4th to
6th in New York City, held in conjunction with the Town Of-
ficer's Conference While there I called on an old acquaint-
ance, Mr Oscar Barck, a descendant of Simeon DeWitt, the
first Surveyor -General of the State Mr Barck had in his pos-
session a collection of old diaries and papers relating to the
original survey of the Military Tract of which this county is
now a part.
He allowed me to select some of the papers which were of
particular historical interest to our county and these I brought
back to Ithaca to be photostated I regard this find of unpub-
lished material as an important contribution to the history of
this region
During the year I have given interviews to many students
seeking information on local history to be used in the prepara-
tion of school papers, and who find the County Historian a
convenient source to contact
I have two projects in local history underway, one, is His-
toric Trees of Tompkins County and the other, Old- Taverns
and Turnpikes These studies are continuing and will require
extensive research before completion
Assistance has been rendered to Mrs. Eldora Stewart the
Curator of the Historical Museum, it being within my province
406 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
to supervise her work, and I have asked her to prepare a sum-
mary of activities of that institution The report is included
herewith
In conclusion, I thank +the Board of Supervisors for their
continued interest and support of my work as County Histo-
rian.
Respectfully yours,
W. GLENN NORRIS
Tompkins County Historian
Tompkins County, New York 407

436 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
- ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
COUNTY PROBATION OFFICER AND
CLERK OF THE CHILDREN'S COURT
OF THE COUNTY OF TOMPKINS, N Y ,
FOR THE YEAR 1953
To the Board of Supervisors •
Following are six pages of statistics compiled from the
records of the County Probation Department and the Chil-
dren's Court for 1953 giving the number of formal matters
handled in Court in detail, amount of support collected from
parents, probation cases in the various courts, physically
handicapped children's orders, and the expenses of the pro-
bation service and Children's Court These figures show to
some extent the amount o_ f business transacted in the two
departments
Certain of the details are important
1—The number of formal delinquency cases in Children's
Court decreased from 39 cases (25 boys and 14 girls) in
1952 to 28 cases (25 boys and three girls) in 1953, although
the total number of matters presented in the Court in 1953,
was 516 as compared to 464 in 1952.
2—Adult matters in Children's Court accounted for this
Jump in formal cases In 1953 there were 102 original non-
support matters and 233 contempt proceedings (follow-up
matters) involving in all 335 hearings with 319 men and
16 women as principals In 1952 the Court heard 306 adult
matters
3—Non-support collections in 1953 increased $3,573 19 over
1952 A total of $78,200 24 was handled in cash payments by
the County Probation Officer in 1953, being collected from
parents and paid over to beneficiaries maintaining children
In 1952 the total was ,$74,627 05 During the year policy, in
collection of refunds ordered in physically handicapped chil-
dren's\cases was changed by -the Court so that now all such
payments are made direct to the County Treasurer instead
of going through the Probation Office, so the 1953 total did
not include crippled children's refunds June 1953 was the
Tompkins County, New York 437
high peak of support collections, $7,681.74 being received.
Many factors, including unemployment, caused collections to
drop steadily down to the low point, $6,077.02 in November
and $6,144 63 in December, even -though extra cases were be-
ing added each month
4—Similarly collections for county welfare department
cases fell off in 1953 to $7,963 98 from the 1952 high mark
of $8,367 09 for like reasons
5—On Jan 1, 1954 the Probation Officer was collecting from
168 men and four women for support of children, only one
less than the year before, due to the closing out of matters in-
volving inactive cases caused by the absconding of respond-
ents, deaths and settlements out of court
6—Due to the polio epidemic in 1953, orders for treatment,
hospitalization and surgery for physically handicapped chil-
dren greatly increased during the last year There were 65
different children granted aid in 1953 as against 46 in 1953.
A total of $43,503 73 was ordered expended in these cases by
the Court in 1953 as against $30,681 44 in 1952, an increase
of $12,822 29
7—The number of probation cases under supervision by the
County Probation Officer increased five during the year, Dec.
31, 1953 totals were an even 300 cases as against 295 a year
ago and 263 on Dec 31, 1951 Children's Court probation cases
list 49 boys, seven girls, 162 men and four women: County
Court cases include 47 men and six women Justice of the
Peace Court cases number 19 men New probationers received
in 1953 were 4 children and 59 adults in Children's Court,
fifteen in County Court and one in J P Courts
8—The Probation Department collected restitution amount-
s ing to $814 20 in 1953 as against $590 in 1952
. 9—The Board of Supervisors, set up a budget for expenses
of Children's Court for 1953 (exclusive of salaries) of $56,0
of which the sum of $219 20 was actually spent leaving a
balance of $280.80 returned to the County unexpended For
the Probation Department the Board appropriated $140 for
necessary expenses, of which sum $104 01 was spent, leaving
$35 99 returned to the County.
438 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
10—Last year's report told of a plan to extend probation
services to the City Court of the City of Ithaca, N Y The
Common Council of the City has approved of this plan and
has passed legislation authorizing such a department to com-
mence work February 1, 1954 When this City Court depart-
ment is fully functioning, it will be of material aid to the
County Probation Department and the Children's Court.
11—Again (as in the past many years) it is recommended
that an assistant probation officer be provided in the County
Probation Department
The statistics covering the main part of the past year's
work in the Children's Court and the County Probation De-
partment follow :
