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.

Said let- ter ,referred to the city, since it appeared to be a city matter John H Post, Commissioner of Welfare, appeared before the Board- to request consideration of additional increments for two employees in his department (senior case worker and medical worker) This matter was referred to the Commit- tee on Civil Service and Salaries. 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." 244 I November 30, 1953 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% Ulysses 93% CLIFFORD E.

McGRAW Tompkins County Dog Warden 0 394 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors 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 : For App, oprzations Expended Unexpended County Farm $ 35,090 00 $ 27,173 73 $ 7,916 27 Administration _ 92,000 00 - 86,555 59 5,44441 Hoine Relief - 50,000 00 29,164 21 20,835 79 Old Age Assistance 400,000 00 349,574 04 50,425 96 Aid to Dependent Children 145,000 00 100,979 59 44,020 42 Aid to Blind 13,000 00 9,424 60 3,575 40 Aid to Disabled 60,000 00 59,680 48 319 52 Child 'Welfare 95,000 00 86,949 99 8,050 01 Hospital Care 15,000 00 8,126 71 6,873 29 Burials 12,000 00 10,833 50 1,166 50 Other Welfare Districts -Hospital 1,200 00 687 10 512 90 Other Welfare Districts -Adults in Hospital 1,000 00 1,000 00 $919,290 00 $769,149 53 $150,140 47 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%.

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.

PUBLIC UTILITIES Basic Strength of Existing Emergency Crews , Public -39 Private -59 97 Number of Volunteers Recruited 3 i Tompkins County, New York 401 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 RHlm Director 2—Enclosures Newsletters 27 October and 8 December 1953 * * * For detailed reports on each civil defense service, including training, attention is invited to the "Annual Report of the Di- rector of Civil Defense for Tompkins County, N.Y dated De- cember 31st, 1953 RALPH HOSPITAL Director 404 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors REPORT OF THE COUNTY CLERK FOR 1953 To the Board of Supervisors : I hereby submit a report of all monies (net receipts only) received by W.

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.

B. SWEET Asst.
