Carried. Mr. Harry Kerr, Tax Consultant, appeared and presented his annual report which was received and placed'on file. After his report on assessment and equalization Mr. Kerr submitted equalized percentages as a result of his study and compared them to the tentative rates as submitted by the State. , Mr. Bower, Chairman of the Equalization Committee, read a majority report of said Committee: To the Board of Supervisors : This is a majority committee report. It is not possible to submit a unanimous one, as much as we would like to, when one unit of our county takes the attitude "of hollering before it is hurt." When I was first appointed chairman of our equalization committee four years ago, my first step was to write the State Board asking what the proper procedure was in establishing county rates. The reply was, and I quote "The equalization committee should obtain sales in each city and town and com- pare them with the assessed valuations. It should likewise make appraisals and compare them with assessments, and ob- tain any other information which may be of assistance in de- termining the correct equalization rate. After obtaining all the data they should use their best judgment in arriving at what they believe to be the correct rate of assessment for purposes of equalization for each city and town in the county." All of these things we have done, and more. In 1953 the Board of Supervisors unanimously agreed to hire Mr. Harry Kerr as a tax and assessment consultant to assist the com- mittee in their work. Harry is an experienced assessor. He knows local land and real estate values. He knows most of our assessors personally and what their attitude is when it comes • 244. November 22, 1954 to assessing property. Thus it seems we have fulfilled all of the duties as required by the State. We have again tried this year to further correct the equali- zation rates for our county. We think the rates we are about to recommend are realistic and fair and bear a just relation- ship to each other. The proportionate change, while very drastic is not as dras- tic as the proposed change made by the State from 1953 to 1954. The spread in the State's 1953 to 1954 rates being two points,' and in their tentative proposed rates from 1954 to 1955, 18 points. As I have said before, we have continued our policy 'of try- ing to right a conditionthat has existed for years, but feel the change should be more gradual for several reasons. We feel the State is also taking this into consideration• by spread- ing the change relative to increasing debt limits over a period of five years and pegging state aid to schools at their present levels until a new formula can be worked out whereby the impact of 'such a drastic and sudden change in rates will be cushioned. Admittedly, the State has spent much time—about 5 years —and much money—about 82,000,000—establishing these ten- tative rates, which without doubt are much nearer correct than those used by the State in the past several years. Your committee feels however, that due to the small number of par- cels checked and to many misleading factors involved when checking sales from transfers, such as combination and tie-in sales, forced sales etc., that the tentative rates proposed by the State should not be used for our purpose. If the new State tentative rates were to be used it would cause undue hardships on some of the towns. In some cases it would necessitate an increase in the tax rate of about five dollars per thousand, whereas a similar change in rates when applied to the city with its huge tax base, would mean an in- crease of only a few cents per thousand. The first State Board of Equalization came into being in 1859—when the State levied a tax on real estate—to more equitably distribute the tax .load. The duties of the present Board, and I quote Mr. Kline, Chief Consultant for the State November 22, 1954 245 Board, "is to establish rates for county purposes of appor- tioning the court and stenographer tax, but the more impor- tant duty of the Board is to establish town, city and village equalization rates. In addition to their use for the assessment of special franchise property, they are used for the apportion- ment of school taxes where a school district embraces parts of two or more tax districts, for the distribution of State aid for education, for the allocation of State aid to towns for highway purposes, for the equalization of assessments among towns within special districts, for the apportionment of certain court expenses to counties within judicial districts and, for the de- termination of full valuations of property as a tax limit base for municipalities." As stated above, and still quoting Mr. Kline "the State Board establishes equalization rates for many and various purposes whereas your Board establish rates for the one pur- pose of apportioning the county tax. I should like to make it entirely clear to you that because of this difference of pur- poses, a finding by the State Board of a different rate than that fixed by you for the same tax unit is not necessarily a criti- cism or reflection on the fairness of the county equalization rate. The point is that while the ratio of assessed to full value must be fixed by the State Board for its, purposes, it is suffi- cient for apportioning county taxes if the rates established for the tax units located therein have an equitable and proper relationship to each other." After a thorough study and after apportioning the tax by using several different suggested rates, we have finally decided on the rates as proposed and recommended by Mr. Kerr. We recommend the following rates : Caroline 50% Danby ' 50% Dryden 51% Enfield 48% Groton 53% Ithaca City . 53% Ithaca Town 53% Lansing 46% Newfield 49% Ulysses 51% CLIFFORD E.

FRED R. McGRAW Tompkins County Dog Warden I 424 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors REPORT OF THE COUNTY HISTORIAN FOR 1954 To the Board of Supervisors : The County Historian takes pleasure in presenting a report of his activities for the year 1954. Early in February I attended a conference of local historians held in New York City. A large number of historians from all parts of the State were in attendance. A fine program of lec- tures and conferences was arrangedfor their benefit. These meetings are very helpful for promoting interest in and broadening the knowledge of historians in their work of pre- serving and reporting history on the local level. I wrote two articles for the Bulletin, a small. publication of our Historical Society, and during the year I spent consid- erable time in 'preparing a series of articles for publication which covers the activites of early explorers and visitors to our county. In June I presided at a meeting in our Historical Room, of our town historians. These meetings give the town historian an opportunity to get acquainted with each other ; to compare notes and discuss problems connected with the important work of town historians. In July I appeared before the Board and gave a brief summary of the 100th anniversary of the building of the second Tompkins County Court House. Due to the interest of the Board in its care and upkeep, this building is now in "a good state of preservation and it is hoped that it may con- tinue to stand as an important monument in the civil history of our county. In September I participated in the 175th anniversary of the General Sullivan Expedition against the Indians of the Iro- quois Confederacy. In September of 1779 detachments of troops of Sullivan's army were ordered to march through the land of the Cayugas; a journey that took them south along the east and west sides of Cayuga Lake and across what is now the city of Ithaca. The significant fact of this event is, that it marked the first and the only time in our history that an Tompkins County, New York 425 armed force ever appeared on the 'soil of our county preparers and ready to meet an enemy in battle. As usual, the County Historian received requests for speak- ing and during the year four lectures were given.1 Many items of local historical value were brought to me for safe keeping; a large number of interviews were given and a great deal of correspondence on historical matters was handled. I appreciate the support the Board has given me, which en- courages me to continue in the work of preserving, recording and disseminating our county's history. Respectfully submitted, W. GLENN NORRIS 426 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors SECOND REPORT—CURATOR-1954 We registered 1300 visitors during the year, not including 26 different groups that met here. These groups were from city and county schools, clubs and historical societies. Our visitors were from Italy, Germany, Israel, and 10 different states. Two bulletin's were issued. These are sent to members and to historical societies. Many students and teachers use the material belonging to the Historical Society, either doing it here or through our loan file. The Senior High School has a chapter of Yorkers who are active in the historical work of the school. We are registered with the State Department of Commerce in their tourist guide. The Common Council purchased a steel desk and two type- writers for us. The staff appreciates this gift very much. The Curator has given two talks and one broadcast. We have had 51 donors and some very valuable gifts, in- cluding two original paintings by Jefferson Beardsley, a year's subscription to the Cornell Sun and the following recent books. Genesee River Country by Sherman Peer, Two Pioneers of Tompkins County by A. B. Genung, Romances and Notes on the Salt Industry by W. B. Wilkinson, Pre -Cornell and Early Cornell by A. H. Wright and The Sullivan Expedition of 1779 ; contemporary newspaper comment by A. H. Wright. Mrs. Heidt keeps our scrap book up to date. At the present time we have 386 members of which 282 are up to date with their dues. We have collected $529 in dues. ELDORA M.

Respectfully, HOWARD A. HARVEY, Sheriff, Tompkins County Tompkins County, New York REPORT OF COUNTY FIRE COORDINATOR Training - r 435 One hundred twenty-two firemen received the New York State training during the year. I am now in the process of setting up this year's training program. The County now has two State Instructors to train our paid and volunteer men. Fire Loss— ' The Fire Service in the county answered four hundred and twenty six alarms during the past year. Mutual Aid was used thirty nine times. The fire loss is estimated at $459,860.81; , this includes the City of Ithaca. Awards — The Tompkins County Board ,of Supervisors and .the Fire Advisory Board received the Tompkins County Safety Award for the progress made in Fire Protection. Also the Yarna Fire Department was awarded for their work in forming a . new Fire Department. _ •Civil. Defense I The County Fire Service is working very. close with the Civil Defense Program of the .County. I believe this will be included in the report of General Ralph Hospital, Director • of Civil Defense: r " Respectively yours, OTTO SANDWICK 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 1954. To the Board of 'Supervisors : - From the records of the ,County, Probation Department and the Tompkins County Children's Court, the following, state- ments and statistics show the extensive work of the two per- sons comprising the working staff of these two departments during the last year of 1954. Figures give'the number of for- mal matters handled by the Court and Probation Department, amount of(support collected from parents and relatives for children involved in formal matters before the Court and Department, number of probation cases supervised after ' investigation, 'the physically handicapped children's orders entered, the expensesof the two divisions of the County Ad- ministration, and other details. The highlights of the year's work are as follows : 1—The number of formal matters in the Children's Court during 1954, increased- from 516',in 1953 to a record ,high figure of 577, approximately about twelve percent. Delin- quency cases totaled 58 (46 boys and 12 girls) as compared to 28 (25 boys and three girls) in 1953, over twice as many matters. This increase was due to a great . extent to the establishment of an Ithaca City Probation Department, which cooperated in the handling of city children's matters in the Children's Court. Of the 58 children thus brought before the Children's Court, 27 (21 boys, and six girls) were placed on probation, while only 'Five (four boys and one girl) were committed to institutions. In 1953 only four, three boys and one girl, were placed on probation, showing a marked increase in the number of children placed under supervision. 2—Adult . matters in the Children's Court also increased slightly. In' 1953 there were 102 original adult cases and 233 contempt or follow-up matters before, the Court while -in 1954 original actions totalled 107 and contempt proceedings 210 with many others handled informally. Tompkins County, New York - 437 3—An increase was noted in matter's involving 'neglected children, there being 97 in 1954 as against 72 in 1953 and the same trend appeared in the crippled children's petitions han- " dled, 1954 having 105 as against 81 the year before, 1953. 4—Due to more unemployment in 1954 than 19153 and lack of personnel to adequately follow-up the large load of non- support cases handled by_ the . Court and Probation Depart- ment, the total 'support funds collected in 1954 amounted to "$74,163.54 in 1954 as against $78,200.24 in 1953. On Jan. 1, 1954 there were 172 paying support under court orders, while on Dec. 31, 1954 these orders had increased to 205; In Decem- ber 1954 the Probation Officer collected total support funds .of $6,190.33 'in the 185 active matter's of support that month, not including cases temporarily suspended for unemployment or other reasons, or which sum the Welfare Department re- ceived $351.37 from 37 cases, while the balance went to in- dividual ndividual beneficiaries. However the total amount Iof support which should have been collected under the Court orders amounted to $9,823.25. , The total collected for the ; Welfare Department account in 1954 was $7,302.70. The best month of the year for support collections was November 1954 when the total of $7,261.83 was received, over $1,000 more than the next month, December, used as an example above. The Proba- tion Officer firmly believes that an assistant officer in his department would greatly increase the amount of support collected during the year. • • 5—A considerable increase in the amount of the physically handicapped children's orders is also noted in 1954.11A total of $50,213.58 was ordered expended for crippled children during , the last year as against $43,503.73 in 1953 and $30,681.44 in 1952. j 6—The number ofprobation cases under the supervision of the County Probation Officer at various periods during 1954 totalled '322 persons in the County, Justices of the Peace 'and Children's Courts, as against -300 cases on record on Dec. 31, 1953. However with discharges due shortly for 55 of these cases, the Department start's . the new year of 1955! with 267 cases on the active rolls, divided as follows : Children's Court adult cases, 187 men and six women ; juvenile cases, 28 boys and six girls; County Court, 34 men and" three women and Justices of the Peace Courts three men. State 'standards pre= scribe a load of about 50. probation cases for each worker, so that the above probation load should properly be supervised by 438 Proceedings of the Board 'of Supervisors about five probation officers. In' the' Tompkins County Pro- bation Department there is one probation- officer with no assistants. 7—The Probation Officer collected- during 1954 restitution in the amount of $1,088.00 as against $814.20 in 1953 and $590.00 in 1952. 8—The Board of Supervisors set up a budget for the ex- penses of the Children's Court for 1954 in the amount of - $500.00_ of which sum the Court spent $332.31 during the year leaving a balance on hand of $167.79. For the expenses of the Probation Department the Board set up a budget of $140.00 of which the sum of $39.02 was spent, leaving balance on hand, of $100.98. • 9—The' County Probation Officer on Feb. 1, 1954 also be- came the Ithaca City Probation Officer and on April .1, 1954 Miss Ellinor Davies, case worker in the Child Welfare Division of the Tompkins County Department of Public Welfare was named the Assistant City Probation Officer, and in such cap- acity became associated with the Children's Court as a volun- teer probation officer for girls placed on probation by Judge Stagg. She supervised six girl's, probation cases, in Children's Court in 1954 and" one teen-age girl in Tompkins County Court, and she supplied the courts with various reports on investigations. Due to Mr. Hutchinson's association with the City Court and the Ithaca Police Department as cityprobation officer, nineteen boys were brought into Children's Court during 1954 from the City of Ithaca as delinquents, and 16 of / them placed on probation under his supervision as County Probation Officer. This city connection also brought consid- erable investigation data into the Children's and: County courts during the year. It is the hope of the Probation Officer that this present situation will result in a consolidated proba- tion department for both -the county and the city, which would be by far the most efficient plan for the entire community. 10 -On Nov. 10, 1954, Judge Stagg addressed a communica- tion to the Courts and Corrections Committee and the Civil Service and Salaries Committee of the Board of Supervisors requesting that some assistance be given the County Probation Officer in the County Probation Department. No action was taken at that time by the Board. Tompkins County, New York 439 11—On June 1, 1954 the title of the clerical worker in the Children's Court and Probation Department was changed by the Board of Supervisors to Deputy Clerk of the Children's Court and the same salary that had been given to the Senior Typist in the Court and Department given the new incumbent, Fidelia Ogden. Since that time the State Civil Service Depart- ment has changed the title of this -position to -Assistant Clerk of the Children's Court, a civil service position for which an examination will be conducted in April, 1955. No additional salary was granted this position in 1954, and $50 increase was voted 'by the Board for 1955, making the salary of that posi- tion $3,000.

The year 1954 saw a considerable increase in indictable crimes and the three sessions of the Grand Jury 'returned 30 indictments. All of these indictments, with two exceptions, have been disposed, of. Most of the dispositions were the result of pleas of guilty and during the year a total of five defendants'stood trial. There was one acquittal and four con- victions as a result of these trials. The work in the special sessions courts also showed an in- crease in jury trials in 1954 over 1953, and as District At- torney, I prosecuted before juries a total of eight .cases during the year. > At the beginning of 1954, by authority of the Board of Supervisors, I appointed two assistant District Attorneys to serve\without compensation. One of these assistants resigned shortly after appointment because of an increase in his crim- inal defense work. The other assistant District Attorney also serves as city prosecutor for the City of Ithaca and is paid for that ,workby the city. He has been of material help in the -operation of my office. 1 During one week in July 'I was able to attend a course for public prosecutors given by the Practicing Law Institute of New York as a result of a scholarship awarded me.I I also con- ducted a panel discussion on the problems of rural prosecutors at that session. This week of instruction in the work of District Attorneys was most helpful and it is my recommendation that in future years the budget of the Board of Supervisors provide 442 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors a sum which will enable the District Attorney to attend this session each year:- During ear During 1954 I have had excellent, cooperation from the Sheriff's `Department, New York State Police and Ithaca . Police Department, and without their help it would have been impossible for the District Attorney's Office to function. Respectfully submitted, FREDERICK B.

MILLER, County Superintendent 448 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WELFARE Chairman Stevenson and Members of the Board of Supervisors : I herewith submit my report of the Department of Public Welfare for the year 1954. The year has been eventful as it is the first year the. State has reimbursed Child Welfare and the care of inmates of the County Home. The State reduced its reimbursement from 80% above the share paid by the United States Government to '50% but has added the reimbursement of 50%. of the cost of Child Welfare and the County Home. The State plan has added to our accounting work with new forms and new detail although they promised less detail work. During this year a new method of paying medical care has been started so payments will. be. made direct to the doctor in all cases and will save some detail work. During 1954 a new Medical Plan has been introduced and is effective as of January 1, 1955 in our office. ,This plan required a 'Medical Consultant and a Dental Consultant and I feel certain in time will reduce the costs and save at least twice their salaries. During 1954 we paid doctors $43,549.20 ; hospital $43,947.90 ; drugs $18,321.03 and dental $4,633.60—total $110,451.55. I have had the barns and outbuildings painted at the, County Farm and have cleaned up the men's quarter's in the Home so there should not be muck in repairs for at least my term: We have had the old furnace fitted so it can be used in extreme. cold with the other furnace and the engineer insists no more coal will be used because there will be no forcing. The windstorm did some damage to the Home building which has been repaired at a cost of $1,448.47. This was as- sumed in our 1954 budget 'so the County Farm expenditures have been increased that amount. There is still about $300.00 to be completed. The sales from the Farm are listed later, in the report and all supplies for the Home produced on the Farm are 'now charged to the Home and credited to Farm Sales. Tompkins County, New York 449 Because we are doing.a good job in intake and investigation our caseload has not increased. Mrs. Reed had 521 initial in- terviews. The caseload is as follows : January 1, 1954 December 31, 1954 31 Home Relief 41 429 Old Age Assistance 393 68 Aid to Dependent Children 79 10 Aid to Blind 11 • 61 Aid to Disabled 64 195 Child Welfare 195 794 783 At the beginning of 1954 there were 47 real estate prop- erties deeded to the Welfare Department from clients. Dur- ing the year we acquired two more and sold at public auction five parcels, leaving at the beginning of 1955 forty-four (44) properties. During the year the Welfare Department paid for thirty- nine burials. From the 39 burials we recovered $3,045.04 from nine life insurance claims ; $195.30 from two Social Security lump" sum claims and $233.33 from auction 'sale of personal property which had been assigned. Also recovered during ,the year $438.72 from an automobile accident to a client and $3,053.02 from three claims against estates of deceased. Of the five : parcels sold we recovered $8,969.70 from four and will receive another $1000.00 from a closing inthe near future. ' The appropriations, expenditures and unexpended balance is in the following table.: You will note the unexpended bal- ance is $157,613.11.

Vegetables, fruit, milk, eggs and meat. charged to the Home for food amounted to $5,909.25. The prices charged were wholesale market prices. On these food items we will receive 50% reimbursement from the State Department. For milk sold and other' annual products we received $5,7.06.72 and for vegetable products sold $936.15. We collect- ed board from residents $1,674,01. ' • I At the County Farm we have 28 cattle, 20 pigs] and hogs and 250 chickens. There is need for, more room for the Accounting Division and I feel the Supervisors should let us have either the county roads two rooms or the veterans' room. There are four workers in the narrow room which is practically impossible to ven- tilate and no place for one to get away. for special' ,reports. Please give this consideration. 1 I hope the pleasant relations will continue between the' De- partment and the Board. ; Respectfully submitted, 1 JOHN H. POST, Commissioner of Public Welfare 452 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors ANNUAL REPORT OF COUNTY ATTORNEY. 1954 I am pleased to present the annual report of your legal department for the year ending December 1, 1954, with a summary of the new laws passed at the last session of the legislature. - Court actions have, been somewhat more numerous than usual. Supreme Court: 1 -An action was brought against the county for $13,90,0 aris- ing out of an automobile accident on the Bostwick Road, which' the plaintiffs contend was due to the narrowness and character of the road. This has been investigated and pre- pared for trial. It was on the calendar for the November term, but was not reached. A notice of claim for.$15,000 arising out 'of an accident on Route 79, in which the claimant contends that the injuries sustained by the operator were aggravated by the conduct of an officer from the sheriff's department, has been investigated and denied, but a court action may result.' An action was brought by me for the Commissioner of Welfare against an estate for recovery, of moneys paid out for public assistance over a period of years in the city and the county. It was settled by the payment of $1510.80, that. ,being the full amount of assistance given by the county. In an action . to quiet title, the county was made defendant to clear up an unpaid tax lien. County Court: The Peruville condemnation' case was tried in the last week of November, 1953. The matter was, concluded in 1954 and an award madeby the Commissioners to the Kratochvils in the amount of $440.50, and to John and Anna Kocis in the amount of $2699.90. Subsequently the titles of other adjoining owners were examined and deeds prepared and delivered with pay- ments,for: lands taken at the rate of $100 per acre. Tompkins County, Nev.; York 453 An action brought by an insurance company against a youngster who was in the custody of the. Welfare Commis- sioner, after being prepared for trial was dismissed on motion. The usual proceeding in County' Court for foreclosure of tax liens, involving seven parcels of land, was conducted, testi- mony taken, ,judgment entered, and county treasurer's deed to the county prepared and delivered. An action has recently been brought against lithe sheriff for levy and sale of a cow upon which there was a chattel mortgage. Fortunately, the sheriff is protected by an indemnity bond. City Court: I have had to lbring two actions for the sheriff in City Court : one to recover about $102 which the sheriff had spent in evict- ing a tenant from a commercial property ; and one to collect damages caused to one of the sheriff's automobiles dt an inter- section accident. Both actions were 'successful and tlie, damages were paid. Children's Court: There have .been ten actions to, establish 'paternity and a number of hearings in support and custody cases. In three of the paternity cases the defendant pleaded guilty and orders were entered requiring payments' for the mother land child. Two cases were settled by lump sum payments ; two were dis- continued and three are still pending. Workmen's Compensation: I have attended forty-seven hearings in 33 cases of work- men's compensation, classified by location of theemployment as follows : Dryden, 1 ; Groton, 1; Ithaca-, 2 ; Lansing, 1; Ulysses, 2; County Civil Defense; 1; County Welfare, 1; County, General, 3 ; County Highway, 8, and County! Hospital, 13. Physically Handicapped Cases: If the program of the Health Department for treatment and correction of physical defects is deemed worth the effort 454 Proceedings' of the: Board of Supervisors and expense, and I certainly believe it is, then the Health De- partment, e- partmentand the county are to be congratulated upon the ever increasing activity in this direction. You will recall that these cases originate in the health department; they are re- viewed and .approved by the health commissioner; then the parents of the physically handicapped child are required to visit my office and explain their financial circumstance's. Those who are able to contribute part of the expense without undue hardship are asked to repay a portion of the cost to the county treasurer ; then the papers go to the county judge for his ap- proval and to the state department for its approval. The county pays the full bill in the first instance, and the state pays one- half of the net bill after deducting what the parents have promised to pay. In 1949 the total amount of the bills on these cases that went through my office was $12,985. In 1953 it was up to $38,225, and this year it was $57,535. There were seventy-nine different cases, and some of them had more than one order. The total number of orders .approved in my office was 102, and the reimbursement promised by parents was $2,355. 22 were polio cases, 17 bad teeth, 7 bad feet, 6 bad eyes, 25 mis- cellaneous troubles. Welfare Department: There is not time, or space in this report for me to review the work that I have done or been requested to do for the Wel- fare Department in the past year. Suffice it to say that I have current files in 118 separate welfare matters which have been referred to me, and of these I have asked the assistance of other counsel in 14 cases. Many questions are asked, many problem's are presented which have to be solved. Opinions are given, some over the phone, some in the hallways, but most of all in writing to the department. I have made searches of title, prepared deeds, affidavits, assignments, and other docu- ments ; handled two administration proceedings, attended hear- ings, conducted a- few sales, and written a good many letters and departmental memos. I regret to say that many welfare matters have had to be neglected or unduly postponed because so many other matters of major importance to the county have made it impossible to attend to everything in the time at my disposal.: Tompkins County, New York Miscellaneous 455 I need not refer to the fact that I have attended board meetings and tried to assist some of the supervisors in the performance of their duties. During the legislative session I followed the bills and with this report submit a summary of the new legislation. I attended the County Officers' meetings, was made a member of the Executive Committee of the Asso-, ciation of Towns, delivered an address on the Town Budget System . at the School for Town Clerks, and have rendered a number of formal opinions to Town and County Officers. The two most important opinions were an opinion certifying the title to the hospital properties, and one to the Election Com- missioners in regard to re -registration of persons whose names have been removed from the roll, pursuant to recent legisla- tion. • In closing, I wish to emphasize what I have; mentioned in several recent reports, that the office of county attorney and the handling of the many legal problem's which come to my desk day after day, could be more efficiently 'operated if the board would permit me to have a part-time assistant county attorney. This is permitted by law, is done in many counties, and I believe that in this county it would save the county in dollars and cents more than the salary that would have to be paid to get a satisfactory assistant.

During 1954, the Civil Defense program in Tompkins • County, consisted of training classes for individual services, Command Post Exercises involving all services and "OPERA- TION ITHACA," a civil defense test involving; the taking/ over and operating of a sector in the target city; as well as the activation of local facilities in a reception area. This civil defense headquarters wishes to thank all volun- teers, who, by their continued interest in this program, as demonstrated by their attendance at instructional ;classes and training exercises, have clearly shown that they realize the importance of planning in peace for wartime operations. With- out this group of faithful volunteers the program would not be possible. . It is'further desired to express appreciation to the County • Board of Supervisors for their making available funds for the purchase of radio communications equipment for the fire ser- vice. 0 458 Proceedings of the' Board of Supervisors NEW YORK- STATE CIVIL DEFENSE COMMISSION RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING REPORT 3 4 5 6 1.

Ralph Hospital, Director Office of Civil Defense—Ithaca-Tompkins County Court House Ithaca, New York Dear. General Hospital : May I extend my compliments for the excellent execution of your recent combined training demonstration. I was delighted to hear the good reports from my representatives who were present. There is no doubt that you have demonstrated the value of training in another important phase of, civil ,defense Tompkins County, New York I 461 - i operations, namely that of moving automatic aidl to a target city and.occupying 'a sector headquarters and its installations. My people were particularly impressed by the splendid spirit .of cooperation which prevailed among the civil defense per- sonnel of both Binghamton and Ithaca while working out their joint problems and by your skillful leadership in direct- ing their efforts. This fine performance is made all the more apparent when the extensive - natureof the installations used and the many 'services employed are taken into account. I also would like to compliment you upon the smoothness of the functioning of your. sector headquarters which appeared to be fully staffed by personnel who knew their jobs and did their work in a quiet and efficient manner. One of the features �f combined physical demonstrations which we are iattempting to develop in these operations is to give, leaders and service chiefs practice in exercising control and in making decisions. , You provided for this very wisely in a good flow of messages through the sector headquarters. I It was felt that all of the services participating should be given high -praise for their excellent performance.The head- quarters group, the welfare operation, the rescue and radio- logical teams, the large medical contingent and the auxiliary' police all deserve particular mention for their splendidcoop- eration and interest in this vital civil defense effort. I think you are likewise to be complimented on the good arrangements you made for feeding all civil defense workers present and the capable personnel making up the messing teams. If I have failed to mention any particular service, I hope that you will convey to them my appreciation for the fine job they did at the exercise.. Another note of particular value were the plans you made for the displacement of sector headquarters. I feel that this headquarters will have to be of a mobile nature 'so that it can move forward or backward as the situation demands. 1. I hope you will have an opportunity to speak to 1 other di- rectors in your support area of the value of the lessons learned in this exercise with a view to encouraging them to 'carry out combined exercises in their, own communities. Your initiative in this matter will no doubt have far reaching effects. 0 462 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors oI understand that a number of lessons were learned. When you 'have the opportunity of assemblying this information I would greatly appreciate having a report on it for our use in other sifnilar exercises. - Please accept my sincere thanks- for the outstanding assist- ance you are rendering in carrying out our State civil defense training objectives.

The preponderance of contacts were with veterans, some contacts were with servicemen ; the re- maining contacts were primarily with families of veterans and servicemen. A total of 9,320 counseling services were rendered during the year. These services will be discussed in some detail later in this report. Keeping Personnel -Informed The Tompkins County Veterans' Service Agency is con- stantly seeking to improve the professional competence of its staff through in service training conferences and use of ma- terials dealing with manifold aspects of veterans' affairs and veteran legislation. It makes full use of the resources of the New York State Division of Veterans' Affairs. The New York State Division of Veterans' Affairs publishes a "Weekly Bulletin" which digests all developments iof interest to those engaged in the professional counseling of veterans or servicemen, and their beneficiaries or their dependents. The items contained therein are discussed at weekly staff confer- ences. It also provides the agency with a weekly list of New York State servicemen who died as a result of the Korean cam- paign, together of the dates of arrival at the port of embarka- tion of the bodie''s of these servicemen. Such information. enables us to offer our services torelatives who may Ibe in need of a helping hand and friendly counsel. The State Division of Veterans' Affairs has also) published and distributed to our staff, manuals dealing with practically every subject affecting veterans and their dependents. Man- uals issued during the past year which were found particularly 466 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors useful included : "Counseling. on New York . State Education and Training Benefits," "Counseling on Federal Education and Training Benefits," "Counseling Veterans and their Fam- ilies on Old Age and Survivor's Insurance and New York State Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act," "Digest of New York State Veteran Laws," "Education and Training Program of the Korean G.I. Bill, P. L. 550." In addition, the New York State Division of Veterans' Affairs supplies us with Federal publications dealing with veteran benefits. Our professional staff has attended and par- , ticipated in training conferences conducted by the Senior State Veteran Counselor in this area. The Director participated in a conference this year of county and city directors of Veterans' Service Agencies held at Lake Placid. Keeping Veterans Informed Not • only have efforts been directed toward keeping the staff informed .through professional training and ,reference material, but attention has been paid to keeping veterans informed. The Veterans' Time Table of Benefits and. Allow- ances previously issued by the New York State Division of' Veterans' Affairs was revised by the Division to November 1, 1953 and received widespread distribution. The Director and State Veterans' Counselor have disseminated information re- garding veterans' affairs through addresses to veteran and civic organizations in the county. The County Veterans' Ser- vice Committee has also been helpful in publicizing deadline dates and changes in the law affecting veterans through news- paper and radio publicity and personal appearances before local organizations. Our professional staff has addressed and counseled groups of inductees at local recruiting offices and armories before their departure for ca'mp, post or station. We have also published and distributed to inductees a book- let outlining the various benefits to which servicemen and their families are entitled and the precautions to be taken to receive such. benefits. RELATIONS WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS 1—New York State Division of Veterans' Affairs In addition to providing training and reference materials Tompkins County, New York 467 and conducting conferences which have proved valuable to our staff, the New York State Division of Veterans' Affairs has cooperated in making the facilities of the Veterans' Camp at Mt. McGregor, available to the veterans of Tompkins County. A total of four veterans from Tompkins County enjoyed per- iods of recuperation of up to 300 days at Mt. McGregor during the year. On -the -Job training field representatives and State Veteran Counselors of the New York State Division of Vet- erans' Affairs, working in cooperation with our staff, assisted employers of Tompkins County in establishing several On -the - Job training programs during the year, and in inspecting the programs already in existence. The Senior State Veteran Counselor has been ; extremely helpful in supplying technical information to the staff of the agency.. We have also had the pleasure of several vi"sits during the year from the New York State Division of Veterans' Af- fairs Deputy Director for Veterans' Service Agencies, who made many useful suggestions based on his experience in evaluating the practices of all the county and city veterans'_ service agencies in the State and in drawing conclusions as to which practices have proved most effective. • 2—Other Governmental Agencies The Tompkins County Veterans' Service Agency continued to receive the cooperation of many other governmental agen- cies with offices in the county, including the County !Clerk, the - County Department of Welfare, the County Agricultural Agent, the local Housing Authority, the New York Division of Placement and Unemployment insurance office, the' Office of the State Adjutant General, the Veterans Administration Hos- pital and Contact Office at Syracuse, N. Y., the United States Selective Service System at Ithaca, N. Y., and the recruiting offices of the various Armed Forces, located at Ithaca, N: Y. The national veteran organizations which have posts in the county are the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Marine Corp. League and the Disabled American Vet- erans. These organizations have cooperated magnificently with our agency. Post meetings have been used as forums for dis- cussion of changes of laws affecting veterans. Their, member- ship lists were found useful in effecting distribution of the 3—Local Veteran Organizations 468 - P'roceeding's of the Board of Supervisors Veterans' Time Table through. their adjutants. We have worked closely with their service officers on cases requiring assistance. The Directoris a member of the Mayor's Committee in Ithaca, N. Y. The purpose of this committee made up of heads of veterans organizations and Aldermen have worked with Selective Service fora proper farewell to inductees. At this time a gift is given to them and both the State Counselor and Director addresses the group.

This plan has worked out very well, the inductees are escorted to the bus by members of the May- or's Committee and Members of Veteran Organizations. 4—Civil Defense The agency has cooperated with the County Director of -Civil Defense in many ways. Our professional staff has aided recruiting through addresses before veteran organizations, service groups, parent -teacher groups, clubs, civic groups and fraternal organization. The manual "Civil Defense for State Veterans Counselor" issued by the New York State Division of Veterans' Affairs was found extremely helpful in providing information needed in presenting these talks and in answering questions. They have also disseminated information. regarding civil defense at our offices. The various members of the staff have also cooperated in the setting up of the aircraft warning sys- tem. The entire organization has been placed at the disposal of the County Director of Civil Defense for immediate emer- gency work as required. 1955 BUDGET General Health .
