Mr Bower, Chairman of the Equalization Committee, read
the following report
EQUALIZATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON THE PRO-
POSED APPRAISAL OF PROPERTY IN TOMPKINS
'COUNTY
i Your Committee is generally agreed that the need for this
appraisal is acute The need, indirectly, has been brought
about by the public's demand for better services of all kinds
which in turn brings about a heavier tax load. It is acute
because, as you all know, the city already has had such an
appraisal and of course because of the dissatisfaction caused
by the new State tentative equalization rates
We have tried in the last three years to gradually correct
30 February 2L 1955
equalization rates for the apportionment of county taxes so
there would be" no drastic impact on any tax unit We admit
we lacked the time and in some types of property, the ability
to do a perfect job But we also lacked the cooperation of
some assessors and the confidence of some tax units who
questioned our ability to set fair equalization rates
For all of these reasons and many more we now feel it
is our responsibility to do all we can to straighten out the
mess we find ourselves in
During the last few months we have made a rather ex-
haustive study of this proposed appraisal We have had much
correspondence, many committee meetings and a personal
interview with representatives from four different appraisal
firms—The Thorne Appraisal Service—The Associated Ap-
praisers—The Roy Wenzhck Co. and the Doane Agricultural
Service With few exceptions, all the firms contacted follow
pretty much the same procedure
From the firms contacted, we have chosen and recommend
the Doane Agricultural Service of St Louis, Mo , to do the
job We feel they are the best qualified, due to their 35 years
experience in this and related fields They have an excellent
reputation and references They use trained experts to do the
actual field work which is later reviewed by senior ap-
praisers While not the lowest bid submitted, it is the lowest
bid that meets the qualifications we desire
We have in the nine towns about 12,000 properties to be
appraised In addition, because we are recommending a firm
other than those who appraised the city, we feel some prop-
erties should be reappraised in the city, so that we are all
sure our true values are comparable
While we recognize the desirability of regular tax maps
and have explored the need and feasibility of having them
made in conjunction with the appraisal, we do not recom-
mend them at this time, due to their excessive cost and the
fact that most of our property is rural and will be plotted
on government aerial photos anyway
It is our understanding that if and when the proper legisla-
tion (now in the hopper) is passed in Albany permitting the
County to repay the city approximately $25,000, the amount
I
1
February 21, 1956 31
they spent for an appraisal last year, that the entire cost
will be a County expense We also understand that enough
surplus money is available to pay the cost of the complete
job and it will not reflect in an increase in taxes
So that you may better understand the procedure, cost and
all the other pertinent details of the proposal appraisal, here
is the tentative contract as drawn up by our County Attor-
ney and Mr Armand Adams, who is representing the Doane
Company :
(Summary of contract presented verbally )
We sincerely hope our reports and the resolution to fol-
low meets with our approval If it does and is passed I
think we should give serious thought to adopting some meth-
od whereby we can keep our assessments equitable and up-
to-date When we have accomplished this, along with our
appraisal, we should have our assessment and equalization
problems licked for some time to come

purpose at an overall bid price of $58,2'00,
AND WHEREAS, the Committee has approved in sub-
stance the terms of an agreement between the County and said
corporation and recommends that this Boaid authorize the

Seconded by Mr Heslop
Discussion followed
Mr Hall inquired from Mr Fick, representative from the
Doane Agricultural Service, the reason for reappraising
"spots" in the City of Ithaca as indicated in the above resolu-
tion Mr Fick replied that the Equahzation Committee had re-
quested it in an endeavor to correlate basic values through-
out the county He further stated that 1954 aerial maps, if
possible, would be used. He believed that a comparison with a
few pieces of city property would be helpful in giving a wider
spread
The question was thoroughly explored relative to the choice
of the Doane Agricultural Service as against the firm em-
ployed by the city
Mr Conley questioned the advisability of voting on the
resolution authorizing approval of the Doane firm until after
a meeting of this Board as a whole He also stated that he
believed that representatives of the city should be contacted in
an endeavor to ascertain their reaction to employing a differ-
ent firm than that employed by them
Mr Conley then moved as an amendment that passage of
the above resolution be deferred until the next meeting of the
Board which should be held on Tuesday, February 22, at 10
AM
Seconded by Mr Broich
Mr Bower then advised the Board that his committee had

Mr Gordon stated that the committee believed that the
selection of jurors could be better handled by the Board of
Supervisors through checking all the information available
on assessment rolls, telephone and other directories, census
and the enrollment books He further stated that he doubted
that the end result would be improved sufficiently to justify
the expense of a Commissioner of Jurors
Mr Shoemaker suggested postponement of this decision
until after the Supervisors' Conference at Schroon Lake, after
which a special meeting could be called
Mr Conley disagreed with the opinion of the committee
and questioned whether the supervisors could spend suffi-
cient time to accomplish the required improvement
Mr Newman requested the floor and stated that he "would
be remiss" in his duties as County Attorney if he did not ad-
vise the acceptance of the Uniform Jury Law This uniform
law was prepared with care and adopted by the Legislature,
he said He admitted there would be considerable expense
which he believed would be justified The Commissioner of
Jurors would work throughout the year in preparing the
list and if there was any question in his mind he could sum-
mon the people in for personal interviews He would inquire
the best time for them to serve Mr Newman stated that the
law provided that the juror would not be competent to serve
for two years from the last date of jury service He said that
he believed that it would be possible for the supervisors to
make a proper list but they are not likely to spend the time
necessary to do so
Mr Gordon said that he believes that the lawyers them-
selves are partially responsible for the unnecessary expenses
to the counties by calling cases which are then settled out of
court. Mr. Newman answered this question by stating that the
trend is to settle out of court when possible and thus save
unnecessary expense
Mr Vail spoke briefly saying that he doubted whether a
Commissioner of Jurors would keep a day-to-day record of
deaths and removals from recorded residences He questioned
whether something new was always an improvement over
something that had been established for a long period
Mr Charles LaVoe from Besemer spoke in favor of the Uni-
form Jury Law following this talk and in answer to Mr
68 June 13, 1955
LaVoe's inquiry Mr Newman cited the questions to be used
by a Commissioner of Jurors in making his selections
Mrs Black spoke for the American Association of Univer-
sity Women and Business and Professional Women stating
that they are working for a mandatory jury law She stated
that many jurors are called so frequently that it has become
a nuisance while others had never been called

equalization of assessments established by this Board in 1954,
and a trial of the issues on such appeal has been ordered by
the State Board of Equalization to begin on August 30th un-
less the controversy is amicably settled between the parties by

AND WHEREAS the Common Council of the City of Ithaca,
by resolution adopted on August 16th, accepted in substance a
compromise proposal submitted to it by a committee authorized
to act for the supervisors of the nine towns of the county,
calling for the payment of $20,000 from the towns to the city
and asking that the Board of Supervisors use the state equali-
zation rates or their equivalent, and this Board interprets the
words "or their equivalent" as used by the Common Council to
mean rates based upon the reappraisals made in the city in
1954 and now being made in the nine towns,
BE IT RESOLVED that this Board, without conceding that
the rates which it established in 1954 and either incorrect of
inequitable, but believing that harmony and good will between
the political units of Tompkins County are of paramount impor-
tance, and in order to save the taxpayers of both the towns
and the city the expense of a prolonged trial, hereby approves

ginning with the next levy of state and county taxes, and
(3) that the amount of each such installment be apportioned
to the nine towns in the following manner, to wit —the taxes
payable by each town under the rates fixed by this Board for
1954 be compared with the taxes payable under the rates fixed
by the state tax commission for 1954, and the apportionment
of each annual installment to the several towns to be in the
same proportion as the tabulated differences in the taxes so
computed, and that the amounts apportioned as aforesaid be
added to the state and county taxes levied on properties in the
nine towns in each of the next five levies of state and county
taxes
Seconded by Mr Broich.
Mr Conley protested the proposed compromise on the
ground that the county owes the city $48,000 or it owes them
nothing and suggested that if the county disagrees they should
go to court to prove their case
Mr Gordon asserted it would be too costly to attempt
to prove whether we owe them $48,000 and referred to the
high cost to Saratoga County in the 1930's in a similar con-
troversy
Mr Walpole agreed with Mr Gordon that the county can
not afford to go to court to prove their point
Mr Bower reminded the Board that back in 1929 the state
gave the city 78% rate while the county gave them 88% con-
ceding that there might be a mistake

up by the towns" that the city had agreed to settle for
$20,000 He suggested that the towns be charged 4% interest
on the unpaid balances, after payments were made

shall bear no interest.

ments" and the Chairman replied that the difference was
102 August 22, 1955

Mrs Polson advised the board that representatives from
the library had not appeared before this body requesting
increases in library appropriation since 1932 She stressed
the fact that the Library Association is now faced with a
financial emergency which will require an additional $9,000,
one-third of which it is hoped can be secured through the

1956 tentative budget item by item Opportunity was given
for questions
Under the probation department Mrs Harding questioned
whether anything had been added for assistant probation of-
ficer When the reply was in the negative she stated that she
had for the past few years noted such a request in the report
of the probation officer.
Replying to a question concerning electro cardiograph, Mr
Daughety, Administrator of the Hospital, stated that in the
future only doctors qualified for the purpose will read the
electro -cardiographs
In response to a question by Mrs Biggerstaff regarding
a decrease in the welfare budget it was brought out by the
board that if this budget is not sufficient for welfare needs
that the Commissioner may return and request an increase
The Chairman of the board stated that it is his opinion that
the welfare department will end the year with a sizeable
balance
Business resumed
When the date for the adoption of the budget was dis-
cussed there was a conflict of opinions as to whether present
tentative state rates would be used since it appears unlikely
that reappraisal figures will be ready this year It was fin-
ally decided that the Equalization Committee would meet at
2 30 P M this date
On motion adjourned to Thursday, December 1, at 10 A M.

REPORT OF EQUALIZATION COMMITTEE FOR APPOR-

FOR THE YEAR 1956
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

Seconded by Mr. Hall.
During the ensuing discussion Mr. Gordon insisted that
the salaries of the deputy sheriffs were too low for the num-
ber of hours worked in all kinds of weather. Mr. Flynn told
the Board he was in agreement with Mr Gordon.
Mr Hall, Chairman of the Courts and Correction Commit-
tee, remarked that the matter of these salaries had been under
discussion two or three times previous and that as chairman
of that committee he had taken up the question with the
Civil Service and Salaries Committee They said the employees
concerned received the increments allowed them but had re-
ceived no increases, and their committee was unwilling to
grant any increases for 1956

REPORT OF THE COUNTY HISTORIAN FOR 1955
TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS •
The County Historian hereby submits a summary of his
activities for the year 1955
I attended the meetings for local historians held in con-
junction with the Town Officers Annual Conference in Buf-
falo, N Y on February 8th and 9th
I wrote a series of articles on early visitors and travelers
in Tompkins County which appeared in the Ithaca Journal
News for eight consecutive weeks, beginning with the first
article published on January 26th
The County Historian took an active part in arranging
for the transfer of ownership of the Eight Square Schoolhouse
in the town of Dryden to the DeWitt Historical Society of
Tompkins County As chairman of the building committee, I
helped to arrange with a competent contractor to make neces-
sary repairs on the schoolhouse with $2000 00 in funds sup-
plied by members of the New York State Banker School for
Agriculture The Bankers group have used the school during
the term of instruction given by the College _of Agiculture and
in appreciation of the courtesy, raised funds for needed re-
pairs to help preserve this memento of our American heritage
I attended the annual seminar on New York State His-
tory held in Cooperstown in July, under the auspices of the
New York State Historical Association I was invited there
as a speaker to take part in a program devoted to publication
of local history by historical organizations
During the year I gave four talks on historical subjects
related to our county Several books of local historical value
were entrusted to my care, including the original minute book
of Fire Company No 1, Ithaca In addition, I have had many
students and other interested people call on me for some par-
ticular information concerning the history of our county
Also my correspondence has increased with people in
many parts of the United States seeking information concern-
ing their families who in earlier times were residents of this
county
Respectfully submitted,
W Glenn Norris
County Historian
Tompkins County, New York 417
THIRD REPORT—CURATOR 1955
We registered 1618 visitors during the year exclusive of
clubs and organizations Our visitors were from 9 different
foreign countries and 13 different states During the Craft
Fair in August we kept our rooms open and had many in-
terested visitors
Two bulletins were issued, one in June and one in_Decem-
ber These are sent to all members, to other ''historical socie-
ties and to the State Chamber of Commerce. „
Many teachers, students, and writers use the material be-
longing to the Historical Society, either doing it here or
through our loan file We issued 51 loan cards and this ma-
terial has been returned
The Yorker chapter of the Senior High School is still active
Our library is now catalogued and we have started to file

TOMPKINS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
ITHACA, NEW YORK
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1955
It is usual custom to file with the Board an annual report
of the operations of the Sheriff's department Examined in-
dividually, the annual reports of recent years, present a fac-
tual and statistical accounting of our operations Examined
collectively and given interpretation, these annual reports
tell a trend in rural law enforcement
Your Sheriff feels a responsibility to point out this trend
at this time
The value of property in Tompkins County, outside of
Ithaca, has increased more than $12,000,000 in the past five
years The construction of hundreds of homes and business
places in suburban areas, together with the increased flow
of traffic connecting them, has brought greater demands for
service The Sheriff's department has more property to pro-
tect, more people to care for
This growth has accompanied a revolution in police work,
itself No longer is a man sworn into office, handed a badge
and gun, and turned loose to protect life and property To-
day's police officer necessarily is a better trained individual
than his predecessor of a few years ago
The police officer assigned to rural and suburban enforce-
ment is called upon to perform duties much more varied then
his city counterpart A Deputy Sheriff must learn civil work,
must know traffic duty and many other things besides his
primary function of protecting life and property
It takes at least eight months to develop the training of a
deputy in all his duties It takes this training period before
a deputy can give his employer a return on the taxpayer's
investment Yet in the past two years, our department had
one deputy who was with us three months, two for a period
of four months, one for six months and one for ten months
Such a turnover of personnel reflects against the public
two major ways There is a wasted investment, and secondly,
the public is denied the services of experienced officers
Tompkins County, New York 419
Our deputy sheriffs are called upon to work 571/2 hours each
week, the starting pay is $3,400 a year, and the best they may
reasonably anticipate as they grow more experienced and
skilled in police work, is $3,600 a year
Such compensation, when coupled with the long hours, has
been a factor in dropouts from service in the past It will be a
factor to reckon with in the future, for the, compensation is
not comparable to that paid by neighboring police agencies
or most any other field of work
The record will show, in each category of duty, that Tomp-
kins County is being served well In the area of accident pre-
vention alone, it is significant that in 1955 we had fewer
accidents, fewer fatalities and injuries, and less property
damage to cars
Whether this record of achievement can be sustained. or
improved upon, depends on maintaining a department of ex-
perienced deputies with high morale

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
COUNTY PROBATION OFFICER AND
CLERK OF THE CHILDREN'S COURT
OF THE COUNTY OF TOMPKINS, N Y ,
FOR THE YEAR 1955 _
427
To the Board of Supervisors :
The usual increase in the amount of cages handled and
funds collected during the last year, 1955, over the - year
before, 1954, is shown by the statistics compiled for the
Tompkins County Children's Court and Probation Depart-
ment And as usual, this increased business'was handled by
the same personnel in the two departments, the Clerk and
Probation Officer, and the Assistant Clerk, that processed
cases and collections for the last 18 years or more Requests
for assistance by your reporting officer during that period
of time, and last year by the County Judge and Judge of
the Children's Court, have so far failed to increase the num-
ber of workers needed in the two departments
Last year there were 200 children's cases and 341 adult
matters brought into the Children's Court against 215 child-
ren's cases and 317 adult matters in 1954, the totals thus be-
ing 541 as against 532
Support collections last year were the highest in the history
of the Probation Department, amounting to $79,931 47, while
in 1954 the total collected was $74,163 54 lAn increase of
$5,767 93, is thus recorded The largest previous amount col-
lected was in 1953 when $78,200 24 was obtained
With restitution collections and Justice of the Peace courts
support funds collected last year the Probation Department
received and paid out to beneficiaries the total sum of $80,-
694 79 in 1955
In 1955 delinquency matters in the Children's Court 63
cases were processed in 1955 as against 58 in 1954 There
was an increase of seven boys but a decrease of two girls
involved in these cases, in 1955 there being 53 boys and 10,
girls in Court while in 1954 there were 46 boys and 12 girls.
428 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
Neglected children in Children's Court in 1955 numberea
42, with 23 boys and 19 girls, as against 52 cases in 1954
However in 1954 the Commissioner of Public Welfare came
into Court with 45 matters in order to obtain formal custody
of the children involved for the purpose of obtaining state
refunds for maintenance costs, and these cases being "hold-
over" matters from former years are not included in the 1954
statistics
Due to the reduction of polio cases in 1955 in Tompkins
County, physically handicapped children's matters brought to
the Children's Court in 1955 also decreased as compared to
the 1954 schedule The Court had petitions for 87 different
orders in 1955 as against 105 in, 1954, the orders in 1955
calling for the expenditure of $39,476 38 as against $50,-
213 58 in 1954
Probation was used in more cases in the Children's Court
in 1955 than in 1954 Last year a total of 33 children were
placed on probation, 31 being boys and two girls, as against 27
in 1954, with 21 boys and six girls On Dec 31, 1955 there
were 53 children on probation in Children's Court, and only
six in institutions for whom the County during 1956 will have
to reimburse the State for 50 percent of maintenance expens-
es, an average of about $3,000 a child per year If probation
services in Tompkins County were increased this year, it
might be possible to supervise all delinquent children brought
into Children's Court thus saving the County the expense of
maintaining committed children in state institutions, a charge
which the Commissioner of Public Welfare will be called on
this year to pay over to the State The amount which the
County will be asked by the State to pay each year for each
child in a state institution would meet at least one-third of the
expenses and salary of one probation officer on full time at
present State standards. In view of the many services which
a probation officer would give not only the Children's Court
but the County Court and the various Justices of the Peace
courts in Tompkins County, it would be sound economy to
spend such funds on additional probation aid in the County
Department rather than pay the State the maintenance costs
for children in State institutions.
The number of cases carried on the Probation Department
records is about the same at the start of the new year 1956 as
it was on January 1, 1955 To start last year there were 322
cases in the files On Dec 31, 1955 the year ended with 323
II
Tompkins County, New York
429
cases marked as "active" To report that all these cases are
being given proper supervision would be misleading, inasmuch
as there is only one part-time Probation Officer attempting
to supervise all these cases The usual standard for probation
decrees that one probation officer supervise no more than 50
to 60 active cases at a time From the number now carried
on the probation books, there is need for four more probation
officers if this standard is to be followed It is therefore
hoped that some assistance may be given the Probation De-
partment this year
The case load on Dec 31, 1954 was broken down into 282
cases in the Children's Court with 65 boys and 12 girls, 199
men and six women From the adults came the $79,931 47 in
support payments, which relieved the County Welfare Depart-
ment from paying over from public assistance funds a large
share of such money to welfare recipients In this total is the
sum of $5,483 86, which the Probation Officer collected and
, paid over to the County Treasurer last year to reimburse the
Welfare Department for assistance granted to relief families
It is becoming the policy, however, for such funds to be paid
directly to the needy family rather than as a reimbursement
to the County, thus relieving the Welfare Department of as
much clerical and accounting duties as possible in such cases
The Probation Department is attempting to 'collect from 35
such cases for the Welfare Department
On Dec 31, 1955 the case load of 323 total had 272 from
the Children's Court with 47 boys, six girls, 216 men and
three women , a total of 45 from the County Court and six
from the various Justices of the Peace courts These figures
show an increase of eight in the County Court for the year
and three in the Justices of the Peace courts With additional
probation help the Department could extend its services to
the various Justices of the Peace courts throughout the
County, which is not possible under the present part-time
set-up No attempt is now being made to investigate any
Justice of the Peace court matters and very little supervision
of such probation cases can now be given
During the last year, ,the State Examiner, Jean Long, has
been informally investigating the services of the Probation
Department, with the result that he has recommended to
Judge Stagg a consolidation of the County and the City of
Ithaca probation services with the addition of probation
officers and clerical assistants in the County Department
430 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
when consolidated This plan was filed with the Board of
Supervisors by Judge Stagg in December and has been re-
ferred to the Courts and Correction Committee for consider-
ation and report to the Board Filing of this plan followed
by a year a request of Judge Stagg sent to the Board on Nov
10, 1954, for assistance in the Probation Department, which
was not acted upon by the Board during 1955 For many years,
annual reports from your Probation Officer have asked for an
assistant, who would be on a full-time basis, and not on a part-
time plan which your present officer is forced to follow He
hopes that something will be accomplished this year In last
year's report one sentence reads • "It is the hope of the Proba-
tion Officer that this present situation will result in a con-
solidated probation department for both the County and the
City, which would be by far the most efficient plan for the
entire community".

434 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
REPORT OF THE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
Board of Supervisors
Tompkins ,County
County Courthouse
Ithaca, New York
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report for the year 1955.
By way of introduction I wish to point out that statistics
with reference to the work of the District Attorney's Office
do not give the complete picture of the work done in view
of the fact that a great many complaints which come to my
office, either directly or through the police, do not result in
any formal prosecution Many of them, with the cooperation
of other agencies of county government, are disposed of with-
out the necessity of formal criminal prosecution
I find that during the year 1955 the Grand Jury met in
regular session three times and in special session once A total
of 24 indictments were returned as against 30 in the previous
year This does not include a number of cases which were con-
sidered by the Grand Jury and no bill returned
I tried three cases in County Court during the year 1955,
two of which resulted in convictions and one acquittal I also
tried five jury cases in Justice of the Peace Courts and ob-
tained one conviction
I have appeared on behalf of the People as their repre-
sentative on six motions made by defense counsel and in
three appeals in Justice of the Peace Court In addition to
the foregoing I have tried two wayward minor cases and
one case in Children's Court One appeal was taken to the
Appellate Division by a convicted defendant in which I repre-
sented the People
During the year 1955 the Magistrates' Association of which
I
Tompkins County, New York
435
I am the elected secretary, has met approximately every other
month This has resulted in the maintenance of the good re-
lationship between this office and the various magistrates of
the county and I have been called upon numerous times to
advise them in criminal proceedings and to represent the
People at arraignments in their courts
In closing I might note the fact that for the second suc-
cessive year I was invited by the Practicing Law Institute of
New York to conduct a panel discussion on the Rural Prose-
cutor in their summer course for prosecutors in New York
City.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
11
COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WELFARE
ll
Chairman Stevenson and Members of the Board of
Supervisors
I submit herewith my report of the Department of Public
Welfare for the year 1955
There have been some unusual expenses in 1955, in that
we were requested by the insurance examiners to have the
sprinkler system examined and cleaned and, in doing this,
damage was caused to the water pump requiring the pulling
of the old pump and repairs were made Then in a few months
the pump gave out so a new pump was furnished and in-
stalled at 'a cost of about $800 00 This is more efficient and
we felt better than spending on the old pump, and it fills the
tank in about half the time the old pump did This should
give us care for our needs for several years' to come
After the expenses on the building repairs were com-
pleted, I had the front of the Home building painted so we
seem to be in pretty good condition on the HOME building
Because I believe we are doing a good job on intake and in-
vestigation, our caseload is about constant Mrs Reed had
531 interviews and'our caseload is as follows
December 31, 1954 December 31, 1955

With the services of Bob Williamson, we are making some
recoveries and some Old Age clients are taken from the list
The figures showing the expenditures for the year and the
net cost to Tompkins County are shown on the next page.
442 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
During the year and included in the figures I have just
read we spent for medical care and doctors $51,568 10, hos-
pital $43,538 90, druggists $24,000 81, dental care $5,093 50—
a total of $124,201 31 plus cost of nursing home of $86,135 59,
making a grand total of $210,336 90, a large sum in my judg-
ment for medical care Our last years cost for total assistance
was $222,216.98 as against this years net of $309,736 34.
I have changed the charges we will allow for doctor's ser-
vices effective January 1, 1956 about 25% less than the
prices published in January 1955.

444 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
The Welfare Trust Fund amounts to $34,991 70 Part of
this belongs to Federal, State and the balance to Tompkins
County
Recoveries paid in our Accounting Office by clients and
from board paid at the County Home amounted to 839,320 87
At the beginning of 1955 there were 44 real estate prop-
erties deeded to the Welfare Department from clients. During
the year we acquired 1 property and sold at public auction
8 properties, leaving as of January 1, 1956 a total of 37
properties Two of the sales have not been closed to date but
the figures for them are included in this report We have or
will receive from the sale of properties a gross amount of
831,901 00 out of which mortgage liens of $2,285 00 have
or will be paid off, making a net recovery of $29,616.00.
From the satisfaction of one mortgage and the partial
release of another mortgage, both assigned to the Welfare
Department, the sale of a trailer house, and from the sale
of 2 properties not assigned to our department we received
net recoveries of 81,705 72
From death claims on assigned hfe insurance from 7 clients
we received recoveries of $2,881 66
From claims for lump sum payments from Social Security
on 5 clients we received 8644-60
We also recovered 82,083 47 from an automobile accident
by a client and 2 claims for windstorm insurance in the
amount of 8232 70
The Welfare Department paid for 53 burials in 1955, of
which 22 were for clients having assigned resources Two of
the burials were children The total expended for burials for
1955 was 811;299 00.

The properties are in the following towns and city •
City of Ithaca 12
Town of Danby 1
Town of Caroline 4
Town of Dryden 7
Town of Enfield 1
Town of Groton 5
Town of Ithaca 1
Town' of Lansing 3
Town of Newfield —
Town of Ulysses 3
Total 1956 37
The County Farm population as of December 31, 1955 was
27 men and 2 women During 1955 we had 352 transients,
giving them 491 lodgings and 1135 meals ,
The estimated value of production on the County Farm for
the year 1955 is $12,726 15. We' collected total cash on the
Farm during the year for produce and other sales $6,106 57
and from board $3,602 00 or total cash income of $9,768 57
There is on hand in the freezers 607 pounds of venison
presented, 2051 pounds of pork, 2694 pounds of beef, 645
pounds of fowl and also in the cellars canned vegetables and
fruits, so I see no reason for the inmates not having good
living
II
As told you last year, we need more room for the Accounting
Office
i
With our new committee, there may be need of some
education but I do not plan to bother very much unless
some unusual expense comes up
You know all you men should come to the Department
occasionally so you know more about what we do and some
of the reasons, due to the mandatory orders we receive, from
the State.
f
446 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
I hope you will be more agreeable to the requests from the
Department as we are not "the tail to the kite " We are
needed to care for those who do not know how to handle their
affairs and those who are in need
Any questions will be gladly answered
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN H. POST
Commissioner.

ANNUAL REPORT OF COUNTY ATTORNEY
, 1955
To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County .
It is my pleasure to present to you at this time a report
of proceedings in the legal department during the year end-
ing November 30, 1955, with a summary of new legislation -
affecting Tompkins County
The appointment of Robert I Williamson as Assistant
County Attorney has enabled my office to handle a much
greater volume of work than was possible in previous years
I am very grateful for this assistance, and I am happy to
report that Mr Williamson has done excellent work which
fully justifies the appointment I have turned over to him most
of the day to day business that comes up from the Welfare
Department He has conducted eleven support proceedings
in Children's Court, prosecuted ten paternity actions, and has
had many conferences with the Welfare Commissioner and
case workers, advising them on many problems Mr William-
son has also taken over the Workmen's Compensation hearings
and assisted me in several major matters Early in the year
he spent a considerable amount of time in the collection of
delinquent accounts, and with the adminstraton of an estate
for the purpose of obtaining reimbursement of moneys paid
out for public assistance He has also instituted a'number of
proceedings under the Uniform Support of Dependents Law
to collect moneys from husbands in other states whose de-
pendents are located in Tompkins County He has brought 36
contempt proceedings in a real effort to compel responsible
relatives to pay for the support of their dependents in accord-
ance with orders of the Children's Court
With the assistance of Mr Williamson, I tried one negli-
gence case in Supreme Court and we succeeded in obtaining
a dismissal of the complaint at the close of the plaintiff's
evidence
An action was brought against the Sheriff on account of
an alleged ,improper levy, and this was settled early in the
year During the year there have been at least a dozen matters
upon which I have conferred with the Sheriff
A number of knotty problems have arisen in the office of the
Election Commissioners, and I have given them several writ-
ten opinions The most important of these was my ruling
as to the validity of an independent nominating petition for
the office of mayor of the City of Ithaca I also gave them an
u

opinion as to the' consequences of a tie vote in the election
for Supervisor in the Town of Lansing, and one on the
validity of that election involving a voting machine that was
out of, order
As you know, one of my duties was the preparation of an
agreement with the City settling the 1954 equalization con-
troversy and attendance at several conferences here and in
Albany on this matter I also prepared a new agreement with
Cortland County for joint employment of a sanitary engineer.
I made a special report to the Board in connection with the
law which permits counties to adopt a new jury system under
a Commissioner of Jurors During the 1955 session of the
legislature I endeavored to keep the Board advised as to
other proposed legislation, and I have made a summary of
the new laws affecting counties and towns, which is append-
ed to this report
I attended the meetings of the County Officers Associa-
tion and was appointed as one of a committee of three of that
body to study and report upon the proposal for a simplifica-
tion of the court structure of the state I have attended three
hearings on this matter and corresponded with several per-
sons about it, including Frank Moore, who is now with the
Government Affairs Foundation, Mr Uthe, Executive Secre-
tary of the Association of Towns, and Assemblyman Ray
Ashbery
During the year I have had interviews with the parents of
physically handicapped children for the purpose of ascertain-
ing their ability to contribute to the cost of the treatments
prescribed by the Health Department The total amount of
the bills on these cases that went through my office was
$37,058 79 The total number of orders approved was 91 and
reimbursement promised by parents was $1,896 35
We have conducted seven property sales for the Welfare
Department resulting in cash proceeds of $23,851 00 In
connection with all of these I have searched the titles and pre-
pared the necessary documents I have also prepared deeds for
the parcels that the County has acquired for the improvement
and reconstruction of the Peruville Road
