Managers of the Hospital and himself had been called to Albany regarding legislation being enacted to transfer the Hermann M Biggs Memorial Hospital (State Tuberculosis) to Tompkins County if agreeable to the County The Clerk read the following letter from Herman E Hille- boe, M D , State Commissoner of Health, under date of January 4, 1956 "My dear Mr Stevenson Following our informal discussion today with you and representatives of the Tompkins County Board of Super- visors, the Board of Managers of the Tompkins County Memorial Hospital, and the County Health Department, I am prepared to recommend to Governor Harriman that he re- quest legislation to transfer the Hermann M Biggs Memorial Hospital, including basic hospital equipment, to Tompkins County, without cost This will enable Tompkins County to convert this tuber- culosis hospital and use it as a general hospital and for other health services to meet local needs The recommended legislation will include a provision that the cost of physical alterations necessary to convert the hos- 14 January 9, 1956 pital into a general hospital will be the financial responsibility of Tompkins County, without state aid funds from the State Health Department Favorable consideration will be given to sharing one-third of the conversion costs out of Hill -Burton funds upon applica- tion by Tompkins County to the New York State Joint Hos- pital Survey and Planning Commission According to state aid regulations of the State Health Department, the converted hospital, operated as a county general hospital, will be eligible for 50 per cent reimburse- ment of its annual deficit, at least until 1960 when the next federal census will be taken It is hoped that if transfer of the hospital is accomplished, the existing county hospital plant will not be used for hospital purposes since the con- verted Biggs Hospital will adequately meet the hospital facility needs of the county for many years to come This offer of transfer is made possible by the decrease in hospital care needs for tuberculous in New York State because of the effectiveness of the tuberculosis control pro- gram The anticipated average number of patients at Her- mann Biggs for 1956 will drop to 150 We can assure the tuberculous patients, their families and physicians in your county, and the other eight counties in the Hermann Biggs district, that high quality care will be provided in adjacent state tuberculosis hospitals An orderly transfer of these patients can be made from Hermann Biggs to the other hospitals over a period of some months if the conversion is effected Assurance is also given that adequate, itinerant tuberculosis case -finding, diagnostic and follow-up clinic service will be provided in the counties now served by Hermann Biggs Not only will a milestone in tuberculosis control be reached, but also a legitimate need of your local government will be met by this proposal if it is accepted Although the State will lose one of its best tuberculosis hospitals, great benefit can accrue to the general health and welfare of the people of Tompkins County and the surround- ing area under a well-planned program of general and re- January 9, 1956 15 lated hospital care, including the care and rehabilitation of the chronically ill If the Board of Supervisors accepts this proposal, we can work out the legislative and the administrative details im- mediately after formal action is taken by your Board This proposal comes at a most opportune time when Tomp- kins County is about to embark on a costly expansion program to meet partially the existing over -crowding now present at the Tompkins County Memorial Hospital I should appreciate hearing from you at your earliest convenience on this proposal Sincerely yours, Herman E Hilleboe, M D Commissioner of Health" Also the Clerk was requested to read a letter from R 0 Daughety, Administrator of the Tompkins County Memorial Hospital, stating a resolution adopted by the Board of Man- agers of the Hospital at a special meeting of said Board -held since January 4, 1956 January 6, 1956 To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County We wish to submit the following recommendation regard- ing the offer made by the State Department of Health, sub- ject to affirmative action by the Legislature, to transfer Biggs Memorial Hospital to Tompkins County for use as a general acute hospital We have discussed this proposal at length with the repre- sentatives of the State Department of Health Our under - 'standing is that the title to the entire Biggs Hospital prop- erty and all its equipment and furnishings will be transferred to the County for the foregoing purpose, without charge and without reservation or other stipulations We have made as careful study and estimates as the lim- 16 January 9, 1956 ited time would permit and it is our opinion that this pro- posal offers great advantages to the County over our con- templated project of building an annex to the present hos- pital building In our opinion, if our building project is halted at its present stage, reckoning the architect's fee to date, plus our share of the new heating plant, plus the cost of adapting Biggs to our needs—after taking account of these total outlays, the Biggs proposal would still save the county a substantial amount of money over and above the cost of building the annex Our estimates also indicate that the Biggs can be efficiently operated and that after the first year, its operating cost can be made comparable with the cost of operating our proposed new annex and hospital on the present site Apart from these considerations of cost, there seems no question that in view of the property value, the splendid facilities, location, spaciousness, and general desirability of Biggs, this proposal by the State is so advantageous that Tompkins County has much to gain from this offer We re- gard this proposal as opening the way to a far finer hospital and medical center than the County could ever hope to otherwise have The Board of Managers of the Tompkins County Memorial Hospital at a special meeting have unanimously passed the following resolution BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Managers recommend to the Board of Supervisors the acceptance of the offer of the State of New York of the Hermann Biggs Hospital for the use of Tompkins County as a general acute hospital and health center in lieu of the plans developed for hospital facilities on the present site up to this time R 0 Daughety, Administrator by Direction of the Board of Managers Mr Daughety spoke regarding the cost of transferring as to cost of building on present site Mr Genung, President of the Board of Managers of said hospital, expressed concern of more expense in building on the present site than the managers had anticipated, and that this gift, if materialized, is quite a surprise 1 January 9, 1956 17 Dr Broad, Commissioner of Health, stated that it had been rumored for the last two years that the tuberculosis hospital might close, but that the matter was for legislative decision and not by the people He also remarked that state aid ceases when the census exceeds 60,000 Meeting of the Committee of the Whole adjourned and the Board proceeded with its business Resolution No 10 Acceptance of Proposal for Transfer of Hermann M Biggs Memorial Hos- pital and Equipment to the County of Tompkins Mr Conley offered the following resolution and moved its adoption WHEREAS the Commissioner of Health of the State of New York by letter to the Chairman of this Board dated January 4, 1956, has proposed a transfer of the Hermann M Biggs Memorial Hospital, including basic hospital equipment, to the County of Tompkins without cost, and has offered to recommend the enactment of necessary legislation to this end, AND WHEREAS the Board of Managers of the Tompkins County Memorial Hospital has recommended the acceptance of this proposal, AND WHEREAS the members of this Board believe that it will be in the public interest to accept the said proposal, in that it will provide excellent hospital facilities for the people of Tompkins County on a site that is easily accessible, with plenty of room for expansion, and at the same time will make it un- necessary to continue with the program for expansion of the present facilities, RESOLVED that this Board hereby approves and ac- cepts the proposal of the State Commissioner of Health upon the condition that the legislation making it possible is enacted at the 1956 session of the legislature, and agrees to take what- ever further steps are necessary to put the proposed plan into effect Seconded by Mr Lounsbery Carried A roll call vote resulted as follows Ayes—Messrs Stevenson, Lounsbery,

July 16, 1956 119 "The airport sub -committee's recent decision that Mohawk is a sound financial risk is based on a CAB official's opinion that it `would be difficult' for a subsidized airline to become insolvent Assuming that time proves this to be a fact rather than an opinion, what present assurance do we have that existing airline subsides will not be discontinued during the 25-30 year bonding period's , "The CAB official expressed the opinion that the airline would be able to operate more efficiently when its facilities are consolidated But will the resulting saving be enough to offset the added annual payment of $120,000 to amortize the county bonds? "The fact that there is a state law which prohibits county property leasing for more than a 5 year -period has had little publicity during these discussions This one fact alone should be sufficient to stop the whole proposal Without an Act of Legislature granting this county specific exemptment, we may find ourselves at the end of five years at the mercy of a Mohawk directorate which may be made up of a different group of men than those with whom we are now dealing " "But assuming that all goes well and the bonds are re- deemed at the end of a quarter of a century, what will be the cost to Tompkins County of the other concessions we are agreeing to make? Included among other things is the 200,000 square feet of reinforced concrete parking and run-up area, complete with the grading, subsurface, drainage, base, and adequate lighting, 260,000 square feet of blacktop park- ing area, adequate access roads, sewer and water lines , ade- quate terminal building, bus service, public address system, landscaping, etc , etc 'The committee has only the vaguest idea of the eventual total cost, but to assume that it will be under a million dollars is wishful thinking There is no question of this community's need for adequate air service, but this has already been as- sured through the county's decision to take over and operate the airport Since Mohawk will be totally exempt from all local taxes, the principal benefit from the maintenance of its headquarters here will be its million -plus payroll While this is no trifling sum, few if any direct benefits will come to those outside the business and professional grourv,which - 120 July 16, 1956 have been so eloquently 'represented by the Chamber of Commerce "Certainly the owners of the 13 million dollars worth of taxable farm property can expect negligible returns , "The National Cash Register Company's new plant that will soon be built on South Hill will operate with an anti- cipated payroll comparable to that of Mohawk The company will finance its own construction and will be subject to the usual local taxes Why shouldn't we grant them plant fin- ancing, tax exempt and 25 acres of valuable land on which to build?"

Such study and report to be made, at the discretion of said committee November 5, 1956 E J. MILLER JR PAUL BLANCHARD BYRON NELSON LEWIS GRIDLEY Committee Mr Graves read the following prepared statement in support of the sales tax : Mr Chairman With your permission I would like to give my views on this question These views are my own, as a result of much research such as personal contact, facts, news clippings, books on tax structure etc Even though I sat in with your committee on just about all of their meet- ings, I would like to present a few ideas of my own In fear of forgetting I have written them down We have reached the point where we must look reality in the face or bankrupt the backbone of our community, its homes, farms and smaller enterprises This tax is destined to become almost universal and those communities which lag behind will be years digging out of their cellar of regret. Contrary to the scuttle butt that has been bandied about the past few weeks to the effect that you only adopt this tax to stave off bankruptcy, let me assure you that a very small percentage of the communities adopting the sales and use tax adopted it for that purpose The argument is that we should bond and go into debt rather than have a sales tax This has been the path fol- lowed by ever so many communities where the sales tax finally is adopted as a last resort and after it can be of no relief to the property tax, being consumed in debt service My admiration is for the sales tax committee for their November 5, 1956 203 perserverance, honesty and integrity in gathering the facts and presenting these facts truthfully As for bonded indebtedness, we in Tompkins County are fortunate due to the foresight of past boards of supervisors to have an ideal situation, namely low indebtedness Some of the opponents to the sales tax claim that we should in - .crease our bonded debt to its limit Intelligence and economy dictate that a community's borrowing capacity should be conserved for depression years (As simple as that) Also, gentlemen, when you borrow even on short term notes you pay for the privilege. As for loss of business to our merchants if this tax is adopted, how many of you have noticed that the Federal Reserve Bank reports on department store sales in cities with the sales tax, such as Syracuse, New York City, Buf- falo and Rochester Let me assure you those sales did not decline • (Mr Graves read from clippings the following statistics "Four weeks ending Sept 22 sales up 5% Dollar volume up 4% Four weeks ending Aug 4 sales up 3% Dollar volume up 4% Four weeks ending Aug 25 sales up 7% Dollar volume up 4%.") Speaking of Monroe County, from 1952 to 1954 sales of taxable items have increased over 84 million dollars Its stores and industries have continued to progress phenom- enally , its population is growing rapidly , its modernization program is colossal Its business has suffered no reprisals because of the sales tax though it is surrounded by areas having no such tax and gets a goodly volume of its business from these areas The sales tax has relieved the real property tax to the extent of over 27 million dollars in three years, 1952 'to 1954, in Monroe County The sales tax revenues have exceeded the general county tax (exclusive of chargeback) by well over 3%2 million dollars (Progress report of the' City of Roch- ester shows that roads, bridges, fire equipment, buildings, arterial routes, incinerator, water plant, skating rink and highway equipment have been acquired ) Binghamton merchants now favor the sales and use tax -when just about one year ago they opposed it vigorously. 204 November 5, 1956 Why is it that the chambers of commerce in other localities will push for the adoption of the sales tax? I think it is about time we quit listening to the merchants and the Chamber of Commerce As we have observed during the past few months their advice can't be classed as A-1 The home owners should come first, they were here first, and if they hadn't been here these same merchants would have moved on. If one or even two million dollars for the budget has to be raised by taxation, wouldn't it be much fairer to spread it amongst the county's whole population and the tourists, instead of plastering the few home owners we have left in this county I disagree with the theory that the sales tax should only be levied in an emergency or when the county is on the verge of bankruptcy I contend that down through the years the real estate owners in this area have been forced to carry a double and possibly a triple load of real estate taxes Has it ever occurred to you just why there is such a low percentage of small home owners in this county? The answer unquestionably is the unfair distribution of the tax load The question on the sales tax should be only equality of taxation With costs of government increasing tremendously each and every year with no halt in sight the percentage of home owners will undoubtedly become fewer and fewer The enclosed letter from a small home owner only makes me more aware and ashamed of this horrible situation Knowing by continuing the present type of taxation you are forcing upon these American people -(who are entitled to the best) a lower standard of living thereby increasing delinquency, welfare costs and all the evils that go with this type of living The young couples, incentive for owning their own home is rapidly becoming a lost desire Nowhere in this country can you find such a tax situation as exists here where so few pay so much to carry so many Our first and foremost obligation should be the home owner who is taxed proportionally on both earnings and property holdings, even without the unequal tax situation that we have been cursed with November 5, 1956 205 I feel on this question that each and every member of this Board should put the welfare of the few taxpayers of this county above any political implication or lobbying tac- tics applied thus far In the past few months I have heard the majority of you supervisors admit without doubt that the taxpayers of this county are burdened by an unfair tax load Well, what are you going to do about it? Talk it over for another ten years? By that time you will be talking to yourselves. The poor real estate taxpayers will be long gone Or are you going to adopt a fair, equal, proven and successful tax, thereby relieving the burdensome real estate tax and putting the future of the county on a sound financial footing? On the assumption of "The more money governments get the more it spends" let me say this We as supervisors con- trol the purse strings of this county and with courage, ability, economy and farsightedness I feel sure that this will not happen here Local government officials can be trusted not to abuse these increased perogatives This permissive tax is a move toward home rule which has become the guiding principle of state local finance It is the least discriminating, offers the l2roadest tax base and gives the largest net return Our friendly merchants claim the sales tax works a hardships on them and the costs of collecting this tax will be passed on to the customer Do these same friendly mer- chants agree that when a small home owner receives a total tax bill of $300 or more that this also is a hardship, and when the landlord of these same merchants has his real estate tax boosted that the tax increase is passed on to the merchant and then on to the customer? So in the final analysis just who does pay for this claimed hardship of added costs etc 9 Can these same merchants with branch stores in nearby cities (where the sales tax is in force) show that the same merchandise is lower in price in Tompkins County without the sales tax We all have heard the praises of the State of Florida sung to the heavens No real estate taxes and let's move to 206 November 5, 1956 Florida Well, many have moved None of you have to be told that the sales tax goes a long way toward keeping that state's real estate tax at a minimum This tax is now in effect in 33 states and nearly 2000 communities in this country. It is not new. It has been tried and proven beyond a doubt, which only proves to me that we here in Tompkins County do not have a monopoly on brains I, for one, would be very much in favor of this type of taxation only if every cent realized, less operational ex- pense, was applied to the reduction of the tax rate Ed King, a local attorney, has offered the idea of a local income tax tied to the state income tax for raising local revenue I would like to suggest to the Board that we take some action to get the state government to investigate and study the possibility of such a proposal We could perhaps draft a resolution memorializing the state legislature to take up this proposal or perhaps we could ask the Governor directly to initiate a study of it At this point in the tax picture, the combined city real estate tax is approximately $30 per thousand Now add this to the proposed needs and projects of school, city and county By 1960 I can see a combined tax rate of $45 per thousand. Therefore a study of any proposal that would relieve the burden of real property is worth consideration Forty-three of New York's upstate counties increased taxes on real property in 1956, while fourteen cut taxes Which county had the largest decrease? Monroe County with $167,626 or 11/2%, while Tompkins County increased 41/2%. I believe that taxing all of the people in proportion to their ability to buy is a fair way to collect this money, that to tax it against people's home, farms and real estate would be disastrous injustice and would react in some fash- ion against every last person who may oppose a sales tax for selfish reasons Because nobody can escape the lavish age and patterned economy in which we live nor set himself apart from it, he must progress with it or be left behind alone, as must Tomp- kins County. r I November 5, 1956 207 Mr Bower moved that Mr Miller's report be accpted and this committee be discharged and a new committee appointed.

hereby submit my report as County Historian for the year 1956 During the year I have had numerous requests both personal and by mail for historical and geneological informa- tion, which I have endeavored to furnish I gave one radio presentation and five talks before county organizations on the history of the county As a historian I appeared with other organizations be- fore the Common Council urging consideration for the preser- vation of City Hall, Ithaca's historic landmark It was my privilege to attend a meeting of local histor- ians at Buffalo in February during the Town Officer's An- nual Conference In September I called a meeting at which six town his- torians were present Reports of their activities were given and instruction was offered to assist them in their work A number of books and pamphlets on the history of this region were acquired and placed in my archives , also items and clippings of local interest have been recorded and placed on file The County Historian takes note of two important happenings of the year upon which the Board of Supervisors made decision In June the board voted to acquire the Airport property and extend a lease to Mohawk Airlines On October 24th the Board accepted a deed to the Biggs Memorial Hospital from the People of the State of New York to the People of Tompkins County thus transferring a special State Hospital to the county for use as a general hospital Yours truly W GLENN NORRIS Tompkins County Historian Tompkins County, New York 473 REPORT OF CURATOR To the Board of Supervisors : After four years of devoted service to the Tompkins County Historical Museum, Mrs ElDora Stewart resigned as curator July 1, 1956, and the undersigned was named to the position as of that date The first activity of the new appointee was to attend two seminars conducted by the New York State Historical Associa- tion at Cooperstown As they were particularly applicable to the needs of the Museum, he participated in Family History and in Community History In the local field, his initial activity was visits to the town historians in the county to establish a liaison and proffer them assistance in developing projects In co-operation with W Glenn Norris, county historian, he prepared and printed a handbook for these historians, a copy was sent each of them and to each supervisor The handbook has since -won state recognition Before the opening of schools last fall, your curator wrote and printed a pamphlet addressed to Parents It ex- plained the necessity for their becoming familiar with com- munity history so as to enable them to develop in their child- ren a knowledge of the basis of American citizenship Re- , sponse has been satisfactory as reflected by the increasing number of these parents who visit the Museum Another program has been developed to bring the schools and the Museum into closer contact So as to avoid conflict with the general public, classes have been encouraged to visit the museum on days other than Tuesday and Thursday, the public days Also Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls and several adult organizations have made like use of the facilities, on occasion necessitating evening sessions The Society has published two other sizable pamphlets this year and President Genung has contributed several copies of his previously published "Two Pioneers of Tompkins Coun- ty " In, December there became available to the public "The Pioneer Clevelands" which recounts the life of farm people in Ulysses and Hector between 1810 and 1882. It was prepared _ 474 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors in co-operation with Mrs Jessie Agard, Ulysses town his- torian, who donated 100 copies The other publication of the year was "Carrie Manning's Diary, 1869 " It has been adopted by the Ithaca Public Schools, Union Springs Central School and is used by the other schools in the county and by the Yorker Clubs throughout the state Sales of publications since July 1 have exceeded 330 In co-operation with Miss Shirley Jacobs as editor for Cayuga Chapter DAR, the Society published a revised edition of the Historical Sites of Tompkins County This folder is being largely distributed to the schools Your curator has developed several news features for The Ithaca Journal which has co-operated wholeheartedly in providing pictures and publishing historical matter Graves of two Revolutionary War soldiers were added to the county list in this way To make the Museum's collection less static and more useful, visitors are conducted on lecture tours School pupils particularly are encouraged to ask questions and to return individually and explore their interests The increasing num- ber of young visitors who seek more information points up the success of the plan A number of students from high schools, Ithaca College, Cornell University and the State Teachers Colleges have done research at the Museum as have genealogists from distant states Much material for Virginia W Mayer's Ithaca Past and Present was researched at the Museum It was planned that with the coming of winter efforts would be concentrated in rearranging the main room where space was needed The gallery had been used for storage, so it was decided to sort this material, level the floor and con- vert the area into a library section Brooks Pharmacy donated some 600 feet of shelving, and this was utilized in constructing shelves for 100 file boxes and eight book stacks These stacks and others on the main floor were moved to the gallery where Miss Lillian Leland, librarian, is classifying a large collection of books with the assistance of Mrs Raymond Frear Equipped with tables, chairs and adequate lighting, a section of this area will afford readers an unmolested work space. Tompkins County, New York 475 Better utilization of space on the main floor has enabled us to install a case for jewelry, one for the doll collection and a third for the rock specimens A magazine rack brightens a heretofore dark spot with a colorful array of current his- torical publications, and a rack displaying folders of museums in the Northeast enables the staff to render a further helpful service to visitors President Genung of the Society donated a motorized mimeograph which is being used to produce the Bulletin and various forms at considerable saving This equipment makes possible maximum use of two modern typewriters and the services of a professional stenographer and typist, Mrs 1 Wayne Bliss, who is engaged on a contract basis and is re- compensed by the curator from his salary With this service, many irreplaceable but worn manu- scripts will be typed on rag paper and bound so as to pro- long their usefulness and conserve space Since the Museum's collection has never been fully indexed, several months will be devoted to this project at a time when both mechanical equip- ment and personnel are available During several months, Miss Hattie Barnes has devoted her time to sorting and classifying material in preparation for indexing E W Leland is sorting, repairing and indexing a considerable collection of maps, and Mrs Edith G Heidt, in addition to continuing her project of filing vital statistics, is assisting the staff in various assignments Much work is being done on the genealogical tiles by Mrs W A Smith Formerly it was thought these files con- tained the records of some 800 early families of the county, but it now appears that a revised count will greatly exceed that estimate when the revision is completed A phase of this project is the copying of family records found in Bibles Im- portance of these records is emphasized by the increasing number of genealogical inquiries, especially from the West and Far West, as well as the gain in number of researchers who visit the Museum Visitors for the year totaled 1,511, with several states and two foreign countries represented 476 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors The year closed with 202 paid-up members and 82 in arrears There were 152 books and manuscripts added to the library Donations of other materials totaled 59 These new programs enable the Museum to reach a larg- er number of organizations and individuals throughout the county with new services It is anticipated that a larger membership will follow newly awakened interests Repectfully submitted Dec 31, 1956 WILLIAM HEIDT, JR Tompkins County, New York 477 TOMPKINS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT ITHACA, NEW YORK ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1956 Board of Supervisors, County of Tompkins, Ithaca, New York i Gentlemen Following is a true and accurate report of this depart- ment, for the Year 1956, which is submitted for your in- spection and approval Department Personnel Howard A Harvey, Sheriff Robert D Jones, Undersheriff Charles W Marks, Office Deputy Lena R Harvey, Matron Raymond J Stark, Deputy Frederick J Whiting, Jr , _ Deputy Edgar Zhe, Deputy Henry B Simmons, Deputy Carlos Furman, Night Turnkey (to Mar 10, 1956) Max T Seamon, Jr , Deputy (to Aug 31, 1956) Helen R Nagy, Cook (to Jan 31, 1956) Robert J Wells, Deputy (to April 15, 1956) Dorothy R Gage, Asst to Matron & Cook ( to Jan 31, 1956) Dorothy R Gage, Cook (from Feb 1, 1956) Edith Sawyer, Asst to Matron & Cook (from Feb. 1, 1956) F.

During 1956 there were 597 formal cases brought into the Children's Court alone Of this number 229 involved children and 368 involved adults In 1955 the totals were 541 cases, 200 with children and 341 with adults, and in 1954 there were 215 children's matters and 317 adult cases for a total of 532 This steady increase in the last three years shows the need for considerably more probation work in the Court and also the need for preventative action which an enlarged probation department could accomplish Support collections in the Children's Court increased in 1956 over the 1955 record amount The 1956 total was $81,- 949 06 as against $79,931 47 in 1955 Restitution from child- ren in 1956 amounted to $117 07 in small sums collected for Tompkins County, New York 485 those damaged by children's acts In County Court support and restitution collected in 1956 amounted to $1,585 57 and in the Justice of the Peace courts to $1,104 00 Grand total of funds collected in 1956 was $84,755 70 Probation was used more in the courts in 1956 than in any other one year In Children's Court there were 46 boys and one girl and 59 men placed on probation in 1956, a total of 106 In 1955 only 33 children were placed on probation Nine children were committed to institutions in 1956, many of whom could have been saved such commitment if the proba- tion services had been adequate The Welfare department had to pay the State about $7,000 00 for the maintenance of these children The probation case load for the County on Jan 1, 1957 totalled 69 boys and five girls, 284 men and seven women for the high total of 365 cases A year ago the total was 323, so there was an increase during the year of 42 official probation cases The following tables show statistics from the various Courts serviced during 1956 by your part-time officer: Statistics for the Children's Court for the year 1956 are as follows Consent to Prob Viol Delinquent Neglected Handicapped Marry BS GS BS GS BS GS BS GS BS GS JAN 0 0 4 1 3 1 2 5 0 1 FEB 0 0 4 0 1 1 6 3 0 1 MAR 0 0 4 0 0 0 3 3 0 0 APR 0 0 1 3 1 0 2 4 0 0 MAY 0 0 13 0 7 3 3 1 0 0 JUN 0 0 6 0 4 0 4 3 0 1 JUL 0 0 8 0 2 0 3 3 0 1 AUG 0 0 10 3 1 0 5 3 0 1 SEP 0 0 9 0 2 5 3 3 0 0 OCT 0 0 13 1 0 3 4 3 0 0 NOV 1 0 9 0 3 3 6 2 0 0 DEC 0 0 11 3 0 0 5 1 0 0 TOTALS 1 0 92 11 24 16 46 34 0 5 486 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors Disposition of the foregoing cases was made in the following manner, except in the matter of Handicapped children, dealt with in another section of this report • Susp Trans Inv Prob Prob Adj Placed in Custody Cont Prob Disc Dism Committed Welfare Private JAN 0 0 2 0 2 0 2 1 0 0 2 0 1 1 FEB 0 0 2 0 2 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 3 2 MAR 0 0 1 0 1 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 APR 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 2 0 2 0 0 1 0 MAY 2 0 7 0 1 1 3 0 3 0 5 2 0 1 JUN 0 0 4 0 1 0 5 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 JUL 0 0 6 0 3 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 AUG 0 0 4 0 0 0 6 2 1 0 1 0 0 0 SEP 2 0 3 0 1 0 5 Z 1 0 0 1 1 3 OCT 2 0 6 0 1 0 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 4 NOV 2 0 3 0 1 0 8 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 DEC 0 0 7 1 0 0 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 Total 8 0 46 1 14 2 46 12 6 3 9- 3 9 11 Statistics for the Children's Court for the year 1956 are as follows • —ADULTS— Month Contempt Non -Support Paternity Inad Support M W M Ver JAN 13 0 2 27 0 FEB 9 0 0 21 0 MAR 6 0 2 20 0 APR 3 1 2 16 0 MAY 13 0 3 30 0 JUNE 11 0 1 30 0 JULY 6 0 0 22 0 AUG 15 0 1 12 0 SEP 9 0 0 16 0 OCT 6 0 0 23 1 NOV 7 0 2 15 1 DEC 7 0 0 15 0 TOTALS 105 1 13 247 2 Tompkins County, New York 487 Disposition of the foregoing cases was made in the following manner .

HUTCHINSON County Probation Officer Clerk, Children's Court Tompkins County, New York 489 REPORT OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE Board of Supervisors Tompkins County Court House Ithaca, New York Gentlemen With the filing of this report for the year 1956 I am completing nine and one-half years as District Attorney of Tompkins County and relinquishing the office to my succes- sor Reports for preceding years have contained the statistics of cases handled and disposed of During the year 1956 three sessions of the Grand Jury considered a total of 25 felony cases All of these cases have been disposed of by plea, trial or otherwise, with but 4 exceptions In these latter cases the indictment is still pending and disposition has been postponed for special reasons in each instance As I have pointed out in previous reports, the statistical record of felony cases handled by a District Attorney's office reveals only a small part of the work of the office After nine and one-half years as District Attorney I feel that my final report should elaborate on this work to some extent, and should contain some recommendations based on my experi- ence in the position Throughout 1956, as in former years, there has been a considerable amount of prosecuting work in the magistrate's courts throughout the county While the City 'of Ithaca em- ploys a city prosecutor to handle the prosecution in the City Court of crimes below the grade of felony, the District Attor- ney is charged with the duty of prosecuting such cases in the various courts of Special Sessions held by the Justices of the Peace and Police Judges throughout the county These cases are initiated in the main by the State Police or Sheriff, but in many instances they arise on complaint of a private citi- zen In this work I have been very ably assisted during the past year by Mr Walter O'Connell of Dryden who was appoint- ed an Assistant District Attorney by me pursuant to authority granted by the Board of Supervisors Mr. O'Connell has handled nearly all of the work of the Special Sessions Courts in the eastern half of the county 490 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors A very important adjunct to the work of the District Attorney in the Courts of Special Sessions is his relationship with the magistrates of the county In this connection, I re- vived the Tompkins County Magistrates Association in 1947 and have been its secretary ex officio since that time The association meets regularly to discuss problems of law en- forcement and to acquire knowledge and training in the handling of criminal proceedings The part of the District Attorney's duties which re- ceives the least public notice but which is perhaps the most important function of his office is that of handling the com- plaints of private citizens As the chief law enforcement officer of the county, the District Attorney is probably the only person in county government to whom citizens of all types can carry their grievances In fact, the Complaint Bureau of the prosecutors office in large metropolitan centers con- stitute the largest part of such organization During my tenure of office I have listened to literally hundreds of com- plaints from individuals, some serious and some petty These complaints come at all times of the day or night, week -ends and holidays included Each one is investigated, either by me personally or with the aid of one of the various police agencies in the county Many of them result in prosecuiton of one sort or another, while others prove to be groundless or the basis of civil litigation only This work of a District Attorney is, in my opinion, one of the most important functions of the office During my tenure of office I have endeavored to take full advantage of the benefits offered by the New York State District Attorney's Association and have been an active member This organization, made up of all the District Attor- neys in the state, considers and recommends legislation, ex- changes information on law enforcement problems and serves as a means of bringing together the prosecuting officials of the state to the end that there may be some uniformity in the administration of the criminal law It should also be reported that I have for the past two years served as a lecturer at the course for Public Prosecutors conducted each year in New York City by the Practicing Law Institute, and am the author of one of the monographs used in that course, entitled "The Rural Prosecutor" This course is attended by prosecuting officials from all over the United States and is one of two courses of this type which offers the Tompkins County, New York 491 District Attorney practical instruction and training in the duties of his office I strongly recommend that the District Attorney of this county attend this course, and urge the Board of Supervisors to make adequate provision in the budget for the office so that he may do so As a quasi-judicial officer, it is the duty of the District Attorney in each case to be fair and humane In this con- nection I have, during my tenure, been willing to give a de- fendant consideration in reducing the degree of crime charged in the indictment where the defendant has been wilting to plead guilty and save the trouble and expense of a trial I Ihave tried, however, not to take any position or make any promises with reference to recommending sentence since I feel that to do so places a District Attorney in the position of bargaining for a conviction and can result in embarrassment to himself and to the Court On the other hand, in nearly every instance where the accused was 18 years of age or under I have recommended that the full benefit of the Youthful Offender Law be given to such defendant The physical facilities of the District Attorney's office have been most adequate However, there is at present a grow- ing need for some space in which to store dead files and I recommend that the Board of Supervisors make available suitable space in the courthouse or elsewhere in which files dating back more than 25 years can be placed in dead storage The question of the District Attorney's salary is always debated at the beginning of each new term The adequacy or inadequacy of the salary is difficult to determine The re- ported statistics of cases disposed of each year might lead the casual observer to believe that the District Attorney has an easy job However, as I have pointed out above, such figures tell only a part of the story and do not reflect the time spent in preparation of cases and investigation of complaints throughout the year It is true that the position in this County does not warrant the full time attenion of a practicing attor- ney, and the cost of employing an attorney who would devote his full time to the job and give up his regular law practice would be prohibitive On the other hand, the 'part time' de- manded of the job is often costly time to the prosecutor, and many times results in a serious sacrifice of the private law practice on which he depends for a livelihood I have been of the opinion for some time that the People of the County would be well rewarded by the employment of an Assistant District 492 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors Attorney, at a ,salary of approximately half that of the District Attorne, who could share in the work of the office The City Prosecutor, employed by the City of Ithaca, should certainly be an assistant district attorney and thus in a position to handle those felony cases in City Court which originate in the City But there is also a real need for an Assistant at large, who would be in a position to take some of the burden of Special Sessions Court work as well as assist in the handling of complaints and the preparation and trial of felony cases Such a sharing of the work would make a full time job for two persons working together, resulting in great- er efficiency and service I strongly recommend that the Board of Supervisors give serious consideration to the matter of employing an Assistant District Attorney on a salary basis In closing this report I want to express my appreciation to the law enforcement agencies of the County and City of Ithaca who have been such tremendous help to me during the past years I have worked closely with the Sheriff's Depart- ment and the Ithaca Police and, to a less extent, with the New York State Police and have found them always wilting to cooperate with me and give me all the assistance I need I also want to express my appreciation to Miss Jane Gaherty who has acted as Grand Jury stenographer during my tenure and most especially to my very able secretary, Mrs Olive Downing, who has so capably managed the District Attorney's office during the past nine years Respectfully submitted, FREDERICK B BRYANT Tompkins County, New York 493 ANNUAL REPORT COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF HIGHWAYS 1956 D-91 COUNTY SNOW AND ICE CONTROL Appropriation : Additional

We have been fortunate in having only two changes among the em- ployees, which lets us start this year with more experienced workers and this should mean better administration and I hope reduced costs During the year Mrs Reed, our Intake Worker, has had 486 applications and we have the following clients in the vari- ous categories : December 31, 1955 December 31, 1956 57 Home Rehef 82 386 Old Age Assistance 377 88 Aid to Dependent Children 101 including 306 children 10 Aid to Blind 9 73 Aid to Disabled 73 162 Child Welfare 165 In Child Welfare 107 children are in foster homes, 28 in institutions and 30 in the homes of parents To care for all these clients we have 8 social workers in Pubhc Assistance, 3 workers in Child Welfare and 2 Case Supervisors The work- ers do a good lob of contact but do not do as good a job as they should with their histories However, now they are catching up except in a few cases Medical Costs • These are of very deep concern to us for, as you know, the administration has endeavored to secure some section of Biggs Hospital for use of our chronically ill for better care than the nursing homes give and where a din- ing room and recreation facilities could be had for those who 498 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors are ambulatory instead of their all being bed patients, but so far nothing definite has been secured either from the Medical, Hospital Committees or from the Hospital Board of Managers It may cost more but the sick will be happier and perhaps some may be able to return to their homes In spite of the amount paid nursing homes, they have been refusing our clients because of price and they won't advise the Commission- er what price they want. The amounts spent for medical, plus amount paid to nursing homes, are as follows • Medical $ 55,037 12 Hospital 58,529 87 Prescriptions 32,774 81 Dental 8,369 58 Total Nursing Home Care $154,711 38 94,684 31 TOTAL $249,395 69 This total amount is far beyond what a county like Tomp- kins should pay. Resource Activities 1956: As of January 1, 1956 there were 37 properties deeded to the Welfare Department During the year 1956 we sold two and acquired six, making an in- crease of four or forty-one (41) properties as of January 1, 1957 These properties are distributed as follows : City of Ithaca 13 Town of Danby 1 Town of Dryden 8 Town of Caroline 5 Town of Enfield 1 Town of Groton 5 Town of Ithaca — Town of Lansing 3 Town of Ulysses 5 Total 41 properties Tompkins County, New York 499 The following recoveries were made: $1,785 00 from the sale of two properties (after paying off mortgage) 1,656 71 from sales contract completed 466 67 from payment on an assigned mortgage 1,365 46 from 9 claims for lump sum Social Security benefits 2,679 62 from 12 death claims on assigned life insurance policies 694 20 from settlement of claim against an estate of re- cipient 365 64 from two separate sales of personal goods 794 94 from sale of an unassigned lot County Home As of December 31, 1956 the population at the Home was 25 men and 2 women We had 275 transients , gave lodgings to 348 and served 728 meals The estimated value of production on the County Farm for the year 1956 is $8,785 58 We collected total cash on the Farm during the year for produce and other sales $5,469 38 and for maintainance $3,316 20 The insurance inspector has requested that the water tank and stand be painted this spring As the Finance Com- mittee did not see the need for leaving the requested amount in the budget suggested by the Commissioner, I will have to ask for an appropriation after secured bids I am inclined to make some caustic comment on the Fin- ance Committee's statement that I did not know how to esti- mate a budget Had the Department been granted the amount I requested in 1956, the

Respectfully submitted, JOHN H POST Commissioner Tompkins County, New York 503 ANNUAL REPORT OF COUNTY ATTORNEY 1956 To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County In addition to the usual grist of routine matters and day to day legal problems in the various departments and in the Board of Supervisors, the office of the County Attorney in 1956 has been concerned with a number of items of major importance The transfer of the Hermann M Biggs Memorial Hospital buildings and grounds from the State of New York to the county for use as a public general hospital was a major undertaking, and, as you know, the remodeling of the Biggs properties and the many problems created by the transfer of the county hospital from Quarry Street to its new site are still in the future In my office many documents of title were received and examined In 1956 also the Board of Supervisors decided to acquire from Cornell University its airport in the Town of Lansing This involved many conferences with University and Mohawk Airlines officials, and with representatives of the Civil Aero- nautics Administration and of the State Department of Com- merce When the University acquired the airport it picked up no less than twenty-three separate parcels from individual owners, and it was part of my duties to examine the title to each of these twenty-three parcels This was complicated by the fact that only three or four of them were transferred to the county intact Most of them were divided up because the University insisted upon retaining title to a fringe of lands surrounding the airport on all sides It was also complicated by several existing leases and easements I prepared and de- livered to the Civil Aeronautics Administration a thorough and lengthy title opinion covering the whole situation In connection with the transfer of the airport, you will recall, that Mohawk Airlines, Inc who had been operating the airport for a number of years under University owner- ship asked for and received from the county board three sep- arate agreements a more or less standard airport lease of the facilities providing for landing fees and a rental by Mo- hawk of space in the office building, an Operations Area 504 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors Lease by which the county leased to Mohawk about nine acres of land upon which their reserved buildings stood , and an interim lease providing for the operation of the entire airport by Mohawk until the County was ready and equipped to take over Beyond that was the unsuccessful Chamber of Com- merce campaign to get Mohawk to keep its headquarters in Ithaca, with proposed arrangemnts for the county to con- struct and finance a two million dollar headquarters build- ing , and the relations with Mohawk since its decision to move to Utica Another important matter which required attention from my office were the problems and controversies arising out of the complete appraisal of county properties by the Doane Appraisal Service, Inc Actions were begun in Supreme Court to review assessments in the towns of Dryden, Ulysses and Lansing The Lansing action claiming exemption for the Kingdom Farms properties is still pending after a week's trial late in November The other two actions whch attacked the validity of the Doane appraisals and which threatened to upset the whole basis of the new county equalization, were settled under pressure from Supreme Court Justice Reynolds While these actions were nominally against the assessors of the towns, the board recognized that vital interests of the county were at stake and since I was the attorney of record for the towns, the county employed counsel to assist me and help defend these actions It might have been a salutary thing from the county's point of view to have tried these ac- tions to a finish so that the Doane people could have explained their methods of appraisal to the public in the courtroom, but, on the other hand, there was some advantage in the settlement because if one or two taxpayers had by any chance been successful in their attack on the system, it might very well have resulted in an avalanche of actions in the follow- ing year One of the most interesting matters that came to the office of the County Attorney was the request from the Board of Elections to rule on the matter of counting an absentee ballot cast in the General Election when it was known that the person who sent in the ballot died two days before the elec- tion This case was doubly interesting because the election for supervisor was won by one vote, and there had been a tie vote in the previous election between the same candidates. It was mentioned on Lowell Thomas's newscast and I received an inquiry about it from Ripley's "Believe It or Not " After ex- Tompkins County, New York 505 amimng the law and ascertaining that, although the inspectors of election at the polls knew of the death of the person whose vote was in question, the vote was counted without challenge or objection, I ruled that the Election Commissoners had no authority to change the result As you know, an action was immediately brought by the unsuccessful candidate in Su- preme Court requiring the Election Commissioners to show cause why the particular ballot should not be thrown out and why the election of supervisor in the Town of Lansing should not be declared void I defended this action for the Commis- sioners and filed a brief It was vigorously and ably prose- cuted, but after several weeks of study, the Supreme Court Judge upheld my ruling Later in a quo warranto action de- fended by Attorney Fred Bryant, the Attorney -General of the State made a similar ruling The basis of the opinion in both actions was that the questionable ballot was not challenged or protested at the polls During the past year I have been ably assisted by Assist- ant County Attorney Robert I Williamson He has handled practically all of the Welfare Department business including the trial of six paternity actions, and eight support actions, and day to day advice to the case workers, case supervisor, and Commissioner of Public Welfare Mr Williamson also handled the Workmen's Compensation cases at the monthly hearings before the referee, and rendered me invaluable aid and counsel in many other matters which came into the office Accompanying this report, or to be filed at a later date, is a summary of the legislation affecting municipalities which was enacted at the 1956 session of the legislature Respectfully submitted, CHARLES H NEWMAN January, 1957 County Attorney 506 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors REPORT OF THE COUNTY CLERK FOR 1956 To the Board of Supervisors I hereby submit a report of all monies (net receipts only) received by W Glenn Norris, Clerk of Tompkins Coun., ty, from January 1, 1956 to December 31, 1956 or by his assistants, for fees or services rendered by him or his assist- ants in their official capacity during the aforesaid period, all of which has been, according to law, paid to the Treasurer of Tompkins County Net Receipts Jan 1, 1956 to Dec 31, 1956 $57,526 04 State of New York ss County of Tompkins W Glenn Norris, being duly sworn, says that he is the Clerk of Tompkins County, that the foregoing is in all respects a full and true statement of monies received and paid to the County of Tompkins W GLENN NORRIS Subscribed and sworn to before me this 14th day of March, 1957 Sally Robinson Notary Public Tompkins County.

MEDICAL The medical service is well organized within the county but the services of a full time non-professional medical adminis- trator are needed to carry out directives of the New York State Civil Defense Commission and the New York State De- partment of Health These agencies give to the medical ser- vice the leadership which is needed to assure an efficiently run service, but the requirements which are set forth far ex- ceed the capabilities of chief of the medical service, who in this case is the County Health Commissioner, and whose full time job is that of commissioner Under his capable guidance a non-professional administrator could carry out the above re- ferred to directives A Tompkins -County Civil Defense Medical Aides' Associa- tion composed of members who have attained the rating of Medical Aide 2nd Class, is proving a civil defense asset This group meets once a month, and has reserve training at its meetings, thus maintaining interest.
