want us to go to the bond market with something that is less than a definite figure, whethei it is actual bid of an up-to-date estimate J W Cowper Co is working on a final revised estimate on final diawings It is not at all a guarantee that that is what bids will come in at The other part of the problem is how much of the bond market cost should be reflected in our final bonding The bond market keeps changing If we have an estimate that we are satisfied to go with then we could get our bonding arranged Wore we get final figures If you go to the bond market and then change figures, you have almost destroyed you/ credibility beyond the point of regaining The second complication is that they would like us to include in our prospectus to the bonding maiket a statement that will say that we will not be going back to the bonding market again within a certain number of months—they would like us to say at least a year 1 It was moved, seconded and adopted to include resolutions on this

Mr Dates said they will discuss it and come in with a resolution September 13, 1976 133 Mr Clynes laid the following names on the table for consideration of appoint- ment to the Environmental Management Council Village of Groton—Roy Rounse- ville, Village of Trumansburg—Roy Lattime, Building Txades Council—John Cortright Mr Watros placed in nomination to the Intergovernmental Relations Study Committee the name of Henry Doney Upon hearing no further nominations, the Chairman declared Mr Doney a member of the Committee Chairman MacNeil said Representative Kerr's resignation becomes effective at the end of this month He extended thanks and appreciation to him on behalf of the board As the church bells of area churches began ringing, Chairman MacNeil opened the dedication ceremony for the Old Courthouse He thanked Mrs Elizabeth Mul- holland for the lovely flower arrangements He introduced and extended thanks to William Downing, the architect for the project and Mr Edward McGinnis, Presi- dent of the Bar Association He also introduced Mr Gary A Lee, Assemblyman He welcomed everyone and called upon Representative Henry Theisen Mr Theisen introduced Mr Armand L Adams who has practiced law for thirty-five years He is also very interested in history Mr Adams made the following address Today we are assembled to "dedicate" what is presently called the "Old Court House" ' So far as I can ascertain the building in which we are now meeting has never been formally dedicated In the Ithaca Journal and Advertiser of January 10, 1855, we read "The new Court House will be ready for use at the January term, which is to be held on the 22nd inst The building is a superb one, finished in the most beautiful and substantial manner and at a very moderate cost The Court Room is upon the second story and occupies the entire area of the building and will seat a larger number of persons than will ever under normal circum- stances be called thither On the first floor are rooms for the accommodations of furies, witness, etc , fitted up in fine order and warmed by two furnaces in the cellar, which also heat the Court Room The windows are of stained glass, which softens and mellows the light, without detracting from the strength No effort has been spared by the contractors, Messrs Apgar and Earl, to make the building a model one, and that they have been successful in their desire, the building shows beyond contradiction The reproach of the old Court House is gone from Tompkins forever!" On the 22nd of January, 1855, without further fanfare, the Supreme Court convened and the building was opened to the public On the preceding Christmas day, the bell in the belfry rang out the tidings of the season Nor is any dedication or even a rededication of this edifice necessary In the legal sense a dedication is the recognition of the giving and the acceptance of private property for a public use, the word itself being derived from the Latin "dedi" which translated is "I have given" In the layman's language it is an act or a rite which either (1) sets something (in this case, a public building) aside for a particular use, or (2) constitutes a tribute to a person or cause It is confusing to speak of the "Old Court House" because the word "old" is one of relativity Someday perhaps the present County Building, commonly re- ferred to as the "New Court House" will outlive its usefulness and be replaced How then will its successor be designated? By what name will we then call the present Tioga Street Office Building Hopefully a more descriptive name can be chosen for this structure, than the prefix "old", which will recognize the part it has in the past played, and in the future will play, in the culture and progress of the County Today, I want to tell you something about the trials, tribulations and tri- umphs of this building and the Bench and Bar who played a part in the drama Much of what I say with reference to the history of the building will be repetition of information assembled by three former County Historians, W Glenn Norris and 134 September 13, 1976 William Heidt, both now deceased, and Lois O'Connor Its history has been "writ- ten -up" in publications of the DeWitt Historical Society in 1968 and Historic Ithaca, Inc in 1974 The Old Court House is said to be the oldest Gothic Revival court house in New York State Next to the Eight Square School on the Hanshaw Road, it is the oldest public building in the County It has been designated a "State Historical Landmark" by the New York State Historic Trust and has a place on the National Register of Historic Places Tompkins County was created from Cayuga and Seneca Counties by Act of the State Legislature on April 7, 1817 That Act (Chapter 189) designated the Village of Ithaca as the County seat and provided that unless the County within one year acquired a site for a court house and gaol and raised $7,000 00 to "erect the same", the area of the new County was to "be re -annexed to the original coun- ties to which it formerly belonged " The condition was immediately complied with The first deed recorded May 2, 1817 in the Tompkins County Clerk's Office, which is indexed as "Book A, page 1", is a deed from Simeon DeWitt (William Linn, his attorney-in-fact) to the "Supervisors of the County of Tompkins" It was dated May 1, 1817 and conveyed Lot 158 of the DeWitt lands in the Village of Ithaca, Town of Ulysses, in the northeast corner of the west half of the Block comprising a lot, having a frontage of 66 feet on Mill (now Court) Street and a depth of 200 feet The first court house, erected on the northerly 100 feet of the lot was a small wooden structure 45 feet by 58 feet, the cost of which was "kept to $3500 00" The other seven lots of similar size comprising the rest of the west half of the block were purchased from Simeon DeWitt by the Second Presbyterian Church in Ulysses (now the First Presbyterian Church of Ithaca), and comprise the pres- ent Presbyterian Church and all of DeWitt Park The eastern half of the block, consisting of eight lots each 200 feet by 66 feet were sold to private individuals By purchasers in 1827 and 1829 the County acquired an additional 77 feet on Mill Street to a depth of 100 feet on which was erected the jail and sheriff's offices As is stated in the quoted 1854 news article, the 1817 court house was an item of "reproach" or discredit The first court house saved the County from reannexa- tion and served it for 37 years when an expanding population produced increased county business and necessitated a new facility By Resolution of the Board of Supervisors of November 25, 1853, the sum of $12,000 00 was appropriated "for the erection of a new Court House for this County upon the site and adjoining lands of the present one, which from decay has become untenantable", and a Committee of three was appointed to "procure plans and specifications" The committee selected John F Maurice of Umon Spring as the architect and Peter Apgar was engaged as the building contractor According to a January 4, 1854 article in the Ithaca Journal and Advertiser "The Board of Supervisors have advertised for proposals for building a new Court House, which has long been needed The Board agreed upon a plan for the house It will be of brick, in the Gothic style about 70 feet long by 50 feet wide and will seat about double the old building It will be one of the hand- somest buildings in the State The main front is at the south with a bell tower on the west corner The building is two stories The Court Room on the second floor is approached by two flights of stairs, one at each end On the first floor are to be rooms for the Supervisors, Grand Jury, Sheriff, District Attorney and witnesses attending the Grand Jury It reflects great credit upon the architect, Mr John H Maurice " On February 8, 1854, the Board accepted a bid from Henry S Walbridge to purchase the old building, except two iron doors and the bricks in the chimney for $250 00 On February 15, 1854 the first court house was torn down Thereafter construction of the new building was begun By August 7, 1854, the side walls and ends of the new structure were up and by the end of December the "new" court house was completed, at a cost of $12,154 00, only slightly more than the appro- priated sum The first term of court held in the then new court house was presided over by Douglas Boardman, County Judge and Surrogate In 1871, seventeen years after the erection of the structure, it was found that September 13, 1976 135 "several supporting beams had rotted off, the furnace entirely worthless, and the building generally out of repair" Accordingly these repairs including a new slate roof were made in 1872 From 1872 to 1878 the difficulty in ventilation, heating and lighting continued to plague the Supervisors In 1879 repairs were made to eliminate the discomforts of mephatic gases and impure air, replace the stained glass windows with clear glass, and move the Judge's bench farther back to the south to make room at the north end of the building for Judge's Chambers and retiring rooms, the cost of which was about $2,000 00 In 1894, major alterations to the building were made, this time under the guidance of architect William Henry Miller Among the changes made at this time, we understand that to eliminate heating costs, the attic was built, forming the present Court room Victorian ceiling, but as you will observe on each side of the room quadrant brackets a part of the original roof trusses project from the walls At this time also the exterior brick walls were covered with rough gray stucco The first court house served the County for 36 years, the second for 80 years As long ago as 1894 the latter was held inadequate, but it was not until 40 years later that the present structure on North Tioga Street replaced it In 1932 the Board of Supervisors decided to build a new modern County Office Building to house not only the Courts, but also all County offices, and the building now under consideration thereafter became known as the "old Court House" What to do with it was an immediate problem Its ultimate use and/or disposition was a controversial subject for a period of 42 years, until it was finally settled in 1974 In May, 1932 the County transferred title to the Old Court House, its original 200 x 66 foot lot and another 20 feet from the old Jail lot to the First Baptist Church in exchange for a smaller lot owned by that Church on Tioga Street, which became a part of the location for the present County Building (Deeds 229/327 and 229/380) From that time on through 1935 in "Letters to the Editor", by petitions, and at public hearings the people strongly expressed their desire that the County repurchase the building and protect it and retain it as a "priceless heritage" In pointing out that it is important to preserve the record of the past and recommending that the building be used to house the historical artifacts of the DeWitt Historical Society, Romeyn Berry, in a 1934 column of "State & Tioga" concluded "If the purchase is almost justified to protect a large investment for public purposes, surely it is fully warranted for this additional reason in the common good And one does not have to be a sentimentalist to feel that land given by Simeon DeWitt for the use of all citizens forever, should be kept for the use of all citizens forever " On April 25, 1934 the Supervisors voted to repurchase the old Court House for $8,500 00 The deed was accomplished on February 11, 1935 the Court House (and part, but not all of the land originally deeded by the County to the Church) again became the property of the County (Deed 236/296) Since that time the Old Court House has been occupied by a succession of County offices and public agencies, including Social Services, Probation, Sheriff's Offices, Special Hearing rooms, and the Tompkins County Travelling Library On December 20, 1939 the Board of Supervisors authorized the move of the DeWitt Historical Society from very limited quarters in the new County Building to the entire second floor (court room) and most of the basement of the Old Court House Minor alterations have been made from time to time on the first floor to ac- commodate changes in tenants, but fortunately the second floor court room was left almost intact subject to deterioration We come now to the 1970's when again the increase in County activities called for additional office space The old Court House was in disrepair, expensive to maintain and in its then physical condition not adaptable for general office use The County had already acquired the buildings and lands in DeWitt Park formerly occupied by Ithaca College Certain segments of the County felt that the old Court House should be abandoned and razed and that a new County Office Building be erected in DeWitt Park to replace it Just as many others felt that such a Historic Landmark should be retained, rehabilitated, restored and put to use The National Historical Preservation Act of 1966 played a part in the rescue 136 September 13, 1976 of this historic building which is such an integral part of the DeWitt Park Historic District Histoiic Ithaca, Inc and other City and County historical groups and public minded citizens actively campaigned for the preservation of the building Historic Ithaca published a pamphlet, entitled "The Old Court House—a Major Landmark of Tompkins County", a few copies of which are available today The result of all these efforts by all of the citizens of Tompkins County is this beautiful building, which for the want of a better name we call the "Old Court House" The Board of Representatives, on the 16th day of April, 1973, voted for complete restoration In September, 1975, funded by a promised grant of $138,- 000 00 from the U S Department of Housing and Urban Development, as a part of the historical preservation program, matched and substantially supplemented by tax funds appropriated by the Board of Representatives, renovation was com- menced William Downing Associates served as architects, Prof Stephen W Jacobs as Historical Consultant, and the general contractor was McGuire and Bennett The work was completed in the summer of 1976 at a total cost including furnishings, architects fees, debt financing and extras of $662,000 00 ($661,875 33) Of this sum the federal grant was $150,000 00 for construction costs (in addition to which H U D paid $12,500 00 for relocation expenses) so that the net cost to the County was $512,000 00 While the architecture and exterior of the building was retained, the interior is completely new It was gutted to the walls, the floors, stairways, wood framing and all interior faces except the roof beams and ceilings of the Court Room were replaced with structural steel and concrete The basement was completely exca- vated and converted into rooms and facilities for the Sheriff's Department and Personnel Department The second floor is again a court room with most of the original architectural features preserved The exterior has been recoated with a smooth stucco, a raised seam metal roof replaced the old shingles, the windows have been repaired and glazed The result is a building of fire resistant construction which is wholly usable for the originally intended purposes—court rooms and county offices Yes, the cost is substantially more (over 50 times greater) than the original cost 122 years ago, but the net cost to the taxpayers, after deducting the grant for historical preser- vation is no more and probably less than the cost of a new building of like size would be today Something should be said about the Bench and Bar who were active partici- pants in the daily activities of the Courts Francis Miles Finch is the only member of the Tompkins County Bar who served as a Judge of the Court of Appeals He was formerly a Surrogate of the County and as an active attorney was a principal proponent of the 1878 and 1894 renovations of the building Douglas Boardman served as County Judge and Surrogate and later as a Supreme Court Justice While our more recent Supreme Court Justices Riley Heath and Harold Simpson never served on the bench while court was held in the Old Court House, they were active practitioners at the bar in this Court Room prior to their elevation to the bench The Old County Court House is an important part of our heritage To me it has had special signficance and importance From 1939 to 1974, through my active association with the DeWitt Historical Society it has been home But even more than that, the court life which took place in the Court Room when and while it served as the County Court House is near and dear to me My active practice of the law began in 1935 and therefore my personal legal experiences have been as- sociated with the present or "New" Court House, but my actual acquaintance with the activities in this structure anti date my own admission to the Bar Because my father, the late Arthur G Adams, was District Attorney for 28 years, beginning in 1916, I have been more than aware of the interesting legal cases tried in this very room In at least one, the trial of James E Hall for the murder of Ralph McArthur in 1930, I actively participated in the prosecution while I was a law student Standing here today I am reminded also of other important felony cases prosecuted by my father in this room, of and to which I was a spectator and ob- server, and the facts and trial techniques of which were discussed, commented September 13, 1976 137 upon and tried and retried "at home" Among these I particularly recall are — The 1919 investigation and trial of Donald Fether for the death by drowning in Cayuga Lake of Hazel Crance, Tompkins County's own "American Trag- edy", which received nationwide attention and publicity, because of the dis- covery by dragging the lake of the twisted and knotted trousers and fastened belt of the defendant leading to the suspicion that the girl's body may have been tied to a rock by the trousers and belt and so weighted as to cause it to sink in the lake, —The arson Trials of Elizabeth Whitlock which resulted in the first conviction in a New York State Couit, based on the testimony of a dog who took the scent of the defendant's boots and followed it to the burned buildings, —The trial of James and Agnes Kearny for the torture, inhuman treatment and murder of their five year old daughter whose tongue was burned and body branded by a hot poker, —The murder trial of Mott Castle, a member of a family of dwarfs who killed a full size child born to his wife and buried the child in the cabbage patch, —The trial for murder of Isabel Wigden, the bodies of whose twin babies were thrown into Fall Creek and ended up in the Gun Shop's water race way, — The axe slaying of his wife by Curley Barnes, —The trial of Edward Lee for the murder of Napolean Jackson, a well respected negro citizen, and particularly the nationwide search for the murderer after the discovery several months after disappearance of a hand and arm sticking above ground and well preserved by cool spring water, and — Perhaps most of all the 1935 famous "Little Red Hen" case (which was tried in the new Courtroom and not this one) where the tilt of the tail feathers of a particular hen was the crucial evidence considered by the jury The investigation, apprehension and trial for murder of James Hall, in which I, as an embryo lawyer participated, was the subject of several stories in Dynamic Detective and other magazines, because of the fine detective work of Trooper John Kelly, Police Chief William Marshall and Sheriff Harrison (no relation) Adams and their associates aided by experts at Cornell, who discovered among other things that particles of skin and hair under the fingernails of the murder victim contained gold leaf, customarily used by sign painters which led the officers to Hall and a blood splattered hat which further identified Hall with the murder Not all of these trials resulted in a conviction which withstood the review by Appellate Courts Some were dismissed or reversed on appeal, as for example, the Fether case where, like an earlier Tompkins County case (that of Edward Ruloff ini1843) the corpus delecti doctrine was invoked, as the body of the alleged victim was never recovered from Cayuga Lake, or the James Hall case where the Appel- late Court decided that there were insufficient grounds for the admission into evi- dence of a dying declaration as a part of the res gestae. I am glad that the "Old Court House" will again be a Court House and that there will again be a Court Room in which the Bench and Bar will deliberate and consider the righting and adjudication of civil and criminal wrongs All citizens of the County are and can rightly be proud of its Legislative Rep- resentatives who made the decision to invest in the future by preserving the past I also commend those citizens who fought the valiant fight to preserve the old as a part of our heritage We cannot here, in the legal sense, dedicate this building as gift from a pri- vate owner to the County for a public use We can, however, constitute these pro- ceedings as a dedication in the laymen's language As an Act of DEDICATION, I do now, and we here today do, pay TRIBUTE, not only to the citizens and Representatives who made the preservation of this building possible, and the Bench and Bar who practiced within its walls, but also to the CAUSE for which they stood In that sense "I give" and I ask the Chairman of the Board of Representatives to "accept" this structure Chairman MacNeil accepted the structure on behalf of the Board of Repre- sentatives He thanked Mr Steven Jacobs, who was the historical consultant, and members of the Board for getting the job done 138 September 27, 1976 REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 1976 The Chairman called the meeting to order at 10 a m Present 15 Representatives Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance The minutes of September 13, 1976 meeting were approved subject to correc- tion by the clerk Chairman MacNeil announced he has issued a proclamation designating the week of October 3, 1976 as National 4-H Week He also announced he has asked Mr Dates to be in charge of the dedication of the Glenn Turner Terminal Building on October 3 at the airport The Clerk noted the following correspondence had been received and/or re- ferred to the proper committee for action Letter from Lawrence Kahn, Attorney, North American Van Lines re em- ployee Leslie Ciispell, Jr re incident at Tompkins County Airport parking lot, press release — Swine Flu Immunization Program, memorandum from Joel D Robinson, Director, re political activities under the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act, resolution of Cattaraugus County to investigate feasibility of constitutional challenge to State and Federal Welfare Laws, and support of Erie County's actions, resolution of Herkimer County re social welfare reform, letter from Assemblyman Gary A Lee recommending Old Courthouse be named in honor of Supreme Court Justice Harold Simpson, resolutions of Chemung County re welfare reform, memorandum from Congressman McHugh re hearing on Public Works Employment Act, copy of Allegheny County's Advisory Committee's report on Social Services, resolutions from Cayuga County re welfare reform, resolution of Rockland County re controls on medicaid programs, letter from Congressman McHugh re Route 96, rail service and Allegheny Air Service in Tompkins County, letter fiom Congressman McHugh re current disaster relief program, Draft of the Final Report of Challenge Industries/Meadow House Study Committee, letter from Arthur W Brodeur, Chairman of the Joint Conference Committee, re psychi- atric care unit at the new hospital, letter from Sheriff Robert Howard opposing new minimum standards for county jails effective October 1, 1976, for reasons of security and costs, Department of Labor sent letter re 1976 Public Works Employ- ment Act; NYS Office for Aging notification of Award and Budget providing for increase in funding to second year Area Plan of Tompkins County and enclosed copies of subcontracts, applications and budgets, copy of affidavit for reason for applicant to collect certain data re Case 80002 Cayuga Station Under privilege of the floor Mr Kerr introduced James Ray who will replace him on the board October 1 Chairman MacNeil said he had the privilege of being an officer at the Bicycle Race around Cayuga Lake Representative Livesay's son holds the record Various committee chairmen reported as follows Mr Culligan, Chairman, Health Committee, said they met to review hospital proposed budget for the coming year The budget is much more optimistic this year than before The committee will meet Tuesday to review Health Department and Mental Health Department budgets Chairman MacNeil gave the pen used by John Murphy to sign bonds for the Hospital to Mr Culligan to present to the Hospital Board of Managers.

It can- 1 November 8, 1976 165 not reverse, modify or affirm decisions of the courts Since the Bow d has no power over the courts, the judges and their decisions, these are matters which are not properly accorded privilege of the floor " Mr Louis Nayman, President of the Civil Service Employees' Association, spoke regarding the progress of the negotiation between CSEA and the County He said

MacNeil has written a letter to Mr Spero asking for information on the caseload at the mental health clinic The Mental Health Board is facing a number of problems and they decided they want to hire a

to the Office for the Aging Advisory Committee this morning The list of nominees are on the desks and she will make the nominations at the next meeting She gave a summary of the Report of the Ad Hoc Youth and Recreation Committee The recommendation of the committee is that a Tompkins County Youth Bureau be established with minimal staff as a department of county government prior to April 1, 1977 and that all local municipalities be encouraged to participate under a comprehensive plan The Youth Bureau is being recommended to do coordinating and facilitating only with programming left to the municipalities and agencies of Tompkins County Mr Richard Desrochers, Representative from the State Division for Youth in this district, explained the state funding He said each municipality receives so much money in state aid for recreation programs In 1974 a new law was passed stating that amount of money was going to be increased per child under the age of 21 Along with the increase in state aid came an endorsement for county com- prehensive planning asking the county to take a look at whether or not counties wanted to get into a combination combining of municipalities, monies, expertise and come up with a county comprehensive plan Rather than having a set amount of eligibility, the money would be pooled and municipalities would contract with the county for that particular amount of money April 1, 1977 is the date in which the minimums of $1600 for recreation and $1400 for youth services will no longer be there Municipalities will then receive their state aid based on their youth pop- ulation times $2 25 and to a considerable number of municipalities in Tompkins County that means quite a loss April 1, 1978 is date the county comprehensive planning must take effect The county's eligibility would be $2 25 times the youth population It has been moved from 1977 to 1978 if counties do three things 1) 166 November 8, 1976 Sign a letter of intent which says they would like to look into getting into compre- hensive planning, 2) conduct a feasibility study which has already been done, 3) develop a youth board He said there are a new set of proposed rules and regula- tions that are being sent to all towns, supervisors, mayors and some county people There is going to be a meeting with county, state, local representation on these rules and regulations Mrs Livesay said they are proposing a Youth Bureau that consists of a Youth Bureau Board, and recommendation is to permit each municipality in the county to submit to this board the name of a representative they would like to have on the youth bureau board and then appointments would be made by the Board of Representatives The staffing would be a youth bureau director There would be an additional staff person besides a secretary called a program specialist She thanked Michael Martin, the Director of Human Services Coalition and the Coalition This study was done by county talent A question and answer period took place on dates re funding Chairman MacNeil urged Mr Desrochers to meet with Mr William Burr and outline what the circumstances are that surround the dates indicated Mrs Livesay will have a resolution

from the Board of Elections; Under privilege of the floor Dr Louis J Long, Secretary of the Tompkins County Area Development Corporation and Tompkins County Industrial Develop- ment Agency made the following report "The Tompkins County Area Development, Inc , charged with the develop- ment and management of the Cornell University Industry Research Park was in- corporated in October 1964 The new development corporation was to receive fi- nancial support from Tompkins County, City of Ithaca, Town of Lansing, the Chamber of Commerce, our local financial institutions, Cornell University, a variety of local businesses and some individuals Unfortunately the Research Park project has not been an unqualified success The limited development of the Park may be attributed to many adverse factors but the basic one is that of the poor business climate in New York State in com- parison with many of the states in the South which offer tax incentives and lower wages Our advantage of a greater supply of skilled and semi -skilled workers has not been enough to offset the other disadvantages However, your Area Development group has not been without its successes in keeping industry here and in fostering new projects for the area We have had these clients in the Park NCR Data Terminal Research and Engineering Agway Technical Center Narda Microwave Corp (formerly Cayuga Associates) Bendix Beak Environmental Consultants Lindemann Laboratories National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center New York Dairy Herd Improvement Cooperative (milk testing and forage laboratories) The U S Geological Survey Of these, the only one lost to the area was Bendix The rest are here in new or refurbished buildings They employ an average of one hundred persons with a pay- roll in excess of $1,000,000 in buildings worth $800,000 180 November 22, 1976 Our projects outside the Research Park have been the acquisition of one hun- dred acres for an industrial park which was sold to Borg-Warner for the new Morse Chain plant on Warren Road We also provided drainage and a branch sewer line for this project, the promotion of the Rothschild Department Store, the addition to NCR on Danby Road, the promotion and financing of the Boyce Thompson Institute (8 5 million), assisted in financing the addition to Hi -Speed Check Weigher Co , the University Sand and Gravel and Kolar Machine, Inc These outside projects and the three buildings located in the Park provide total annual taxes of $253,100 Your oiiginal seed money is producing a good crop But not the least of our several pluses is the fact that we are self-supporting and have been for the last six years Our income is derived from the management fees of the buildings in the Park and from arranging the financing for our clients TOMPKINS COUNTY INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY Your Area Development Corporation is closely associated with the I D A act- ing as it does in the capacity of managing the affairs of the I D A under the di- rection of the I D A Board of Directors Up to this point the I D A has issued $5 5 million in Industrial Development Bonds for Borg-Warner, Rothschild Brothers and N C R In each case, payments are made in lieu of taxes as if the regular taxes had been assessed The Agency stands ready to assist in the financing of all eligible projects and at its last meeting went on record as supporting the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965 as amended, whose benefits are now available to Tomp- kins County " Mrs Ruth DeWire reported for the Governance Committee of the Board of Managers She stated the Governance Committee started with a history of the fi- nancial dealings of the hospital since 1971 with the county and went on from there to a five-year projection of operating costs for Tompkins County Hospital, which they intend to use for other purposes too They have also started a personnel study on the implications of a switch of governments They have issued a report on management considerations in connection with private, nonprofit operations In addition, the committee voted to consider differences in authority under county ownership so they will be getting to the Health Committee of the Board of Repre- sentatives very soon They hope to make a final decision on governance in late spring and will come to the Board with their ideas for their consideration Various Committee chairmen reported as follows Mr Culligan, Chairman of the Health Committee, said they have three board members on the Board of Managers whose terms expire December 31,

that committee The administrative wing was discussed by the consultant in terms of what they would be getting at cost per square foot Also, by the administration of the hospital as far as efficiency of care A question was asked regarding status of emergency staffing at the Mental Health Clinic Mr Robey said there have been developments The CSEA and the County did get together and were able to

Administrator, said most of his time has been spent on the 1977 Budget Mr Howard Stevenson, Hospital Construction Committee, said the committee met and the architect took bids for the hardware which came in about $70,000 lower than estimated There was an informality in the apparent low bidder so the committee approved going to the second low bidder Mr Williamson, County Attorney, reported they

needs further study Mr Hicks Dow said the Town and Village of Groton are in opposition to this proposal Mr Culligan said the city has for years footed the bills for the entire program in which children from outside came in and then they developed their own He feels that if it is done correctly this county -wide bureau might be the answer to alleviate problems and finances However, he

Chatfield, Chairman) One of the nation's founders told American colonists how to celebrate their independence John Adams spoke of a great annual festival to be celebrated as a day of deliverance with solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty with pomp and parades with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward, forever more This counsel from our second president served the Tompkins County Bicen- tennial Commission in developing its program of activities over most of 1975 and 1976 Three outstanding events were already part of the summer scene 1 A community Independence Day celebration featuring fireworks and marching musical groups had illuminated Cornell's Schoellkopf Field since 1949 2 The City Federation of Women's Organizations sold flares numerous years so that hillside residents and cottagers would illuminate the southern end of Cay- uga Lake on the night of the 4th of July More than 2,000 flares—a record—were sold in 1976. 3 The New York State Craft Fair had become a week long August attraction at Ithaca College most years in the past quarter century Also, the Bicentennial observance came along at a time when Tompkins County was engaged in more construction and rehabilitation projects than any time in history The prevailing spirit was price and a sense of "GO" The county goveimnent paced efforts with the start of a new hospital complex and the re- modeling of the county's second courthouse Elsewhere, Ithaca redeveloped its central business district New shopping centers took form in the suburbs Citizen groups pushed remodeling of the Clinton House and Boardman House The mood of historical preservation carried to all parts of the county The Town of Dryden kindled new usage for Eight Square School House Groton and Caroline worked for museums Newfield sought improvements for the area of its covered bridge Ulysses and some other towns restored cemeteries Ithaca and the suburban town launched development of Circle Greenway, a band of recreational trails around the city A Town of Dryden Committee prompted tree plantings Veterans groups dedicated a new memorial in Ithaca's DeWitt Park honoring servicemen in the Korean and Viet Nam Wars Besides physical improvements, several communities made use of the Bicen- tennial period to acquaint new generations with local history The County Bicentennial Commission reprinted John Selkreg's "Landmarks of Tompkins County," published originally in 1894 Dryden's Spirit of '76 Committee republished the Centennial History of Dry- den The Town of Caroline organized an historical society and it published a town history in looseleaf form so future topics may be added The Town of Ulysses and Village of Trumansburg published a book on the history of that region, "Celebration of the Bicentennial of the United States of America in the Town of Ulysses and the Village of Trumansburg " The Town of Newfield prepared a self -guiding "Historic Tour through New- field " Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 273 Freeville's Methodist Church reprinted an historical account of early settlers The County Bicentennial Commission, in its waning days, hopes for publica- tion of member Robert Robinson's history of Ithaca volunteer fire companies Hopefully the project will include historic accounts of all other fire companies in ithe county Ithaca City School District, over a period of several months, published a news- letter called "Bicentennial News " It called attention to events in various schools, films, books and teaching aids 1 The Tompkins County Library and Finger Lakes Library System promoted interest in the Bicentennial through displays, films and the American Issues Forum Ithaca College initiated a course on the economic, civic and cultural develop- ment of Tompkins County The course title "The Human Enterprise, 1776-1976 " Guest lecturers participated in the series staged in downtown Ithaca over a 14 - week period 1 DeWitt Historical Society cooperated with a newly formed group "Students of the Six Nations" in preparing an exhibit at the Clinton House honoring the Iroquois Other activities of the Historical Society during the Bicentennial period included exhibits dealing with early bicycles and Greek Revival architecture and a series of slide shows presented during the Barge visit i Virtually all towns and villages sponsored events finked to the Bicentennial Whether it was Heritage Day in Etna, Bicentennial Day in Speedsville, the Dryden Fair, the Danby Camp Meeting, Firemen's Carnival in Enfield, Groton's Salute to Freedom no matter what these events and the festivities of Ulysses, Caroline, Freeville, Ithaca and McLean were called They reflected the national interest in heritage and pride in America Recollections of the past were staged with imagination They included craft fairs and demonstrations, a pageant, old time games and special projects McLean, for example, showed today's generation what it was like to farm with a horse and plow and what it was like to visit a country store Or take the projects in Caroline which dealt with honoring descendents of slaves and band music on the village green 9 Against this backdrop of activities at local level, the Tompkins County Bicen- tennial Commission developed its regional program The Role of Coordinator. The County Commission maintained a calendar of events at its office in order to help local groups avoid date conflicts The Commission published a newsletter "Bicentennial Bits" acquainting com- mittees in all parts of the county with projects of other communities The Commission worked with specific people in planning events For example, the first Commission chairman, Sam Woodside, took pains to produce the regional fireworks display at Schoellkopf Field at a time when it would not overpower local community activities 1 The Role of Promoter: Copies of "Bicentennial Bits" were distributed to media so that reporters and editors were furnished leads on various events On occasion, material was provided to organizations for publication in their news organs Examples, the Senior Citizen newsletter and the Ithaca City School District newsletter The Commission made use of thousands of dollars worth of free radio time for spot announcements, promos, historical notes, news and commentary Talks were given to a score of community organizations such as City Club, Sertoma, Zonta, Golden Age and Dryden Kiwanis 274 Tompkins County, New York Special Events. The County Commission functioned several different ways It operated in a funding capacity in helping bring about the 1976 Flag Day Parade, and the parade associated with the state barge visit Also at the time of the barge visit, the Commission helped to fund the fifteen - county Finger Lakes Bicentennial Quilt Exhibit, one of the finest in the nation Other Commission projects encouraged Ithaca Volunteer Firemen to display memorabilia at the barge docking site and the Learning Web to stage its Old Fashioned Master -Apprentice Field Day at Stewart Park while the barge was in town The Commission endorsed the July 17 Bicentennial Ball held at Tompkins - Cortland Community College and the fashion show, "Past, Present and Future—A Century of Autumns," presented at Holiday Inn on August 20, 1976 The Commission worked with Mr and Mrs J Cuyler Page in their arrange- ments for 43 buildings in Tompkins County to join the nationwide ringout of bells at 2 p m July 4, 1976 Impact on Future.

POULTRY PROGRAM Nineteen seventy six has been a good year for the poultrymen in New York Although feed prices have continued high the profit picture is good due to the ex- cellent egg price picture The primary reason for the comparatively good egg price was basic supply and demand, but much credit has been taken by new co- operative marketing groups These groups and marketing in general have been a major point of emphasis in this year's Regional poultry program a The marketing subject is still very much alive and indications are that this subject will continue to gain importance in coming years A strategic merchandis- ing video tape is presently being developed to aid the poultrymen in increasing their egg sales.

Our most valuable resource has always been the interest and activity of com- munity members who share, with the volunteer Commissioners, concern and re- sponsibility for the promotion of human rights As the rest of this report indi- cates, community participation in these programs has continued to increase over the past year. ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMISSION The Commission's ability to meet day to day problems in human rights has steadily improved as the office and the role of the Investigator have become estab- lished in the community Statistics collected by the State Division of Human Rights over the past four years show that in the years 1973 and 1974, before the employment of an Investigator, a total of 43 complaints were received from Tomp- kins County residents In the years 1975 and through November 15, 1976, a total of y73 complaints, nearly double, were received by the Regional Office Formal com- plaints represent only part of the picture Over 367 specific inquiries have been handled by our local office in the past two years without resorting to formal com- plaints This illustrates that there is a difference between the role of the Regional Office and the role of the local office The role of the Regional Office is to put out fires The role of the local office is to prevent fires from starting and spreading IIn 1976, as in previous years, employment problems remain the greatest con- cern of individuals who call the Commission for help, and allegations of race and sex discrimination continue to predominate In our judgment, the increasing num- ber of these calls reflects a deepening awareness of rights as well as a reaction to existing prejudice and economic adversity Discrimination is often difficult to prove; on a statewide basis "probable cause" is determined in only about 20% of complaints received Most presons who go on to file formal complaints are aware of the delays and hardships they may have to face in defending their rights, and they meet this situation with courage, hope, and perseverance. One role of the lo- callofiice is to be available to the complainant during this period of investigation by the Regional Office in order to help explain procedures and facilitate commum- 302 Tompkins County, New York cation and feedback to the State Division We are fortunate that members of the Regional Office have always been cooperative in working with us Wherever possible, our office has increasingly tried to avoid formal complaints and attendant delays or hard feelings by bringing issues up for discussion on a local level. On occasion we have gone directly to businesses to discuss privately various provisions of the Human Rights Law Additionally, the Investigator has been available to act as ombudsman by answering or following-up a wide range of questions and problems and by serving as a go-between for the interested parties The Commission's objective in these instances is to benefit all sides by easing the sharing of information and feelings It is a tribute to these efforts that businesses and landlords are more and more frequently coming to the Commission on their own initiative to ask for suggestions or to update themselves on how their current policies, application procedures, etc , may be affected by the law Throughout the year, the Commission continued to advertise its services in the Ithaca Journal and hold monthly meetings open to the public. Volunteer Com- missioners serving on committees have reported on topics concerning employment, housing, education, and voting rights In a change from last year's emphasis on formal presentations, the Commission has invested more time and energy into de- veloping personal contacts in smaller, face to face groups. Members of the Com- mission and/or the Investigator have been invited to participate at training ses- sions conducted by the Board of Realtors, to meet with students and scholars at Ithaca College and Cornell University, and to speak at church groups and before radio, TV, and newspaper audiences on human rights issues Valuable contacts have been established with several other agencies including the Office for the Aging, American Civil Liberties Union, Challenge Industries, the Probation De- partment, and Southside Center We have welcomed these opportunities to be available personally in informal settings to listen, share information, and work together to meet some of the human rights needs felt by Tompkins County resi- dents This foundation of experience should serve us well as we pursue our efforts into 1977. On a Commission level, we recognize the need for an expanding outreach and public relations program and for closer communications with other County agencies and the Board of Representatives We have been working with the press to develop more ways of bringing information to the public In order to represent more of the County, we are recruiting new members from rural districts and plan to hold some meetings in these areas Along with promoting our visibility and accessibility in the community, the Commission will depend heavily on the contri- butions of its volunteer members As individual Commissioners continue to develop expertise and contacts in areas where they have particular interests, the Commis- sion as a whole will become an increasingly useful resorce for our community TABLES Inquiries in Recent Years Employ- Accommo- Total Formal Year ment Housing dations Other Total Complaints 1974 50 11 4 13 78 8 1975 72 25 4 24 125 27 1976 158 35 30 92 315 42 Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 303 ANNUAL REPORT TOMPKINS COUNTY SENIOR CITIZENS COUNCIL, INC (Submitted by Philip G Johnson, President) (detailed report on file with Clerk of Board) It was very helpful experience for me to serve as your President and it is my hope that it was also helpful to you and to the Council Certainly, any successes were due to the ways that many of you helped to realize arrangements and activi- ties You will continue to grow in numbers and influence by the same happy dedi- cation to service What were some accomplishments during 1976 7 It is difficult to report what was realized in any one year because developments in the Council seem continuous Some things that came into being in 1976 had been talked about for months or Years but conditions were not favorable for a beginning For example, there could be no subcontract with The Tompkins County Office for the Aging before there Was an established and functioning office The expansion of our Senior Courier by the addition of a Senior Circle was a 1975-76 development It did require some Work to get ideas clarified and to prepare the necessary written documents Inter- ested and competent people to carry the ideas into reality had to be enticed and helped Thus the Senior Circle became an added service in 1976 It is now a sub- contract that continues into 1977 when even greater progress can be made toward reaching all senior citizens in Tompkins County with useful information and bits of inspiration While many people helped, we are especially indebted to Ruth Pond for her thoughtful efforts One service previously managed by the Council saw a rebirth of vigor and effectiveness in 1976 This was the Planning for Retirement Series which in 1975 received the sponsorship of Tompkins County Cooperative Extension, The Tomp- kins County Office for the Aging, The Ithaca Personnel Association and our Coun- cil A committee representing all the sponsors was established and a leader for the series was found Professor Arthur Durfee with the committee developed an excellent plan, and he managed the series in a masterful manner mSeveral years ago, before I was very active in the Council, an attempt was ade to operate a transportation service for the elderly In 1975 the Council voted to share in support of a new transportation plan and pledged several hundred dol- lars to help provide matching funds for an application to the State In the mean- time, our Office for the Aging became a functioning reality and there was help available for pushing the plan forward Now there is one Gadabout bus and an- other is to become available soon I Many members of the Council and several who served in leadership roles on committees were unclear about how the Council decided what to do and how opera- tions were carried forward It was difficult to find out just who the leaders were, who made decisions, what general policies had been established, and how to get answers to troublesome questions Our corporate neighbor, The McGraw House, had carried through the development of a manual to clarify such matters, so it seemed proper for a similar development to take place in the Council. Several per- sons were invited to make suggestions and to express ideas in written form The Council had a number of documents that could be made a part of a manual, its Articles of Incorporation, its By -Laws, its Personnel Policies and Procedures, a listing of officers and Board members, a Directory of Units and its standing com- mIttees A small group of interested persons considered what was available, made appropriate revisions and wrote additional statements. A draft of a manual was prepared, discussed and revised In due course an Operations Manual for The Tompkins County Senior Citizens Council became a reahty through its adoption byl the Board of Directors Now, by annual or more frequent revisions, there is a useful guide to help officers, staff, members of the Board and committee chairper- sons hairper- so 1 s While many persons helped with this development, it is appropriate to men- 304 Tompkins County, New York tion Fred Morris who with the help of Miriam Culp produced our first Operations Manual. Two very active committees have faced many procedural questions concerning the way the Council operates or should operate These two committees were the Recreation Committee and the Bus Trip Committee There was a need to define "Recreation" within the Council since the meaning at state levels had included al- most all that the Council has tried to do over the years Recreation to officers and members of the Board of Directors had a more limited meaning During prelimi- nary discussions it became clear that the Council had not and did not exist for "Recreation" alone Through more discussion, exchanges of written materials with the Executive Committee, and then consideration by the Board of Directors, poli- cies were developed in relation to recreation The same general confusion existed with reference to bus trips Here some major questions were what trips were to be taken, when were they to be scheduled, how were costs determined, what could be stated about insurance, were tips appropriate, and who were to be considered acceptable escorts 9 These and other questions were discussed, answers written down, revised and finally brought to the Board of Directors for final revision and adoption By this process, new materials became available for our Operations Manual In the process it became possible to describe where policies would origi- nate, how they developed, and where final decisions were made No policies are fixed and firm for the distant future, but there are operating policies and these can now be observed until they are changed by the same general process One additional development which may become a major one, might be men- tioned. This is our decision to seek support for a Retired Senior Volunteer Pro- gram (RSVP) This was considered several years ago and given an unfavorable vote by the Board In 1976 it was possible for officers and Board members to be- come better informed about what this project might contribute to the Council and to the elderly in Tompkins County After much discussion, it was given a favorable vote by the Board An application was then developed and submitted The actual realization and the operations are matters for 1977. Many other concerns of the Council might be mentioned The maintenance of our Center is the special concern of a House and Grounds Committee As Chair- man, Roland G Fowler deserves special recognition because he has not only done actual construction work around the Center but has also supervised important maintenance jobs The management of our finances has also been and continues to be a growing task Here we recognize the devoted, competent, and diligent services of Van VanArsdale, Al Pearl and Al Fogelsanger along with the attention of Red Fowler. There were a number of special events worthy of note These were Senior Citizens Day on the Commons, Fun Day at Ithaca College, and a special day at TC -3 when their staff and facilities were supplemented by other key persons to provide a very worthwhile and enjoyable day The funding of the lunch by Ithaca banks was greatly appreciated by all who attended So many persons helped with these special events that it is impossible to give appropriate recognition. One may well wonder how the many activities of the Council can move along as smoothly as they do There is but one answer The Council has an Executive Di- rector who is very competent, genuinely dedicated and warm in dealing with all our elderly, our staff, and our many supporting individuals and agencies The Council has been well managed during 1976 There has been a sensitivity to the many pressures for funds from our supporting agencies Through special efforts to develop an increased number of contributing members, through the continuing gifts from the Shop and Bazaar Committees, and through other gifts and bequests, the Council has not only continued useful programs, but it has also initiated new services and programs It has been a privilege and a pleasure to have served as President of the Council during a major part of 1976 Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 305 ANNUAL REPORT TOMPKINS COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES (Submitted by Robert J Wagner) Public assistance—"welfare"—is money and services given to needy families and individuals who qualify for it under the Federal Social Security Act and the New York State Social Services Law DIRECT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS There are three direct assistance programs namely (1) Public Assistance which is divided into ADG and HR (2) Medicaid and (3) Food Stamps I PUBLIC ASSISTANCE (PA) Aid to Dependent Children (ADC) is financial assistance given to a family with minor children without sufficient means of support because of the ab- sence, death, or incapacity of a parent or the unemployment of the father This is the largest direct assistance (cash) program administered by this department. Home Relief (HR) is assistance for single individuals and childless couples The Public Assistance average monthly caseload in 1976 was ADC HR TOTAL 749 423 1172 II. MEDICAID (MA) Medical Assistance (MA) is a program that pays medical bills, in whole or in part, of New York State residents who can not pay the cost of such medical care In the program, money is not given to the eligible recipients but rather the department pays for the needed medical care directly to the provider of the medical service, 1 e , doctor, hospital, nursing home, drug store, etc. The Medicaid average monthly caseload in 1976 was Reg MA SSI TOTAL 788 763 1551 NOTE • Out of a 4 6 million dollar appropriation for medical care, 70% or 3 2 million dollars were spent on hospital and nursing home care alone. III. FOOD STAMPS The Food Stamp program is designed to increase the food purchasing power for eligible individuals and families Depending on factors such as income and size of family, it is determined that a family will be eligible for a certain "bonus" amount of Food Stamps An eligible family can purchase, at banks, food stamps that are worth more than was paid for them The stamps are redeemable at any store that accepts food stamps The food stamp program costs Tompkins County nothing since all costs are borne by the Federal and State government. During 1976, the Food Stamp program generated over $700,000 in new food purchasing power in Tomp- kins County The Food Stamp average monthly caseload in 1976 was 1329 cases. 306 Tompkins County, New York SERVICE PROGRAMS 1976 marked the first full year in which community based planning deter- mined how Title XX services were delivered in Tompkins County The community planning group was comprised of representatives from private and public service agencies, representatives from the public at large as well as actual users of the services Title XX planning is an on-going process subject to frequent changes and amendments I ADULT AND FAMILY UNIT Services single adults, families with children and without children Some examples of services are emergency services, educational training, family planning, health-related services, home delivered meals, homemaker/house- keeper, home management, services to blind, assisting persons to remain in community or return to the community from institutions, paternity and support actions, etc. II. CHILD WELFARE UNIT Handles adoptions, foster care for children, counsels unmarried mothers, provides home management counseling, parent education, conducts Family Court-ordered custody investigations and private adoption studies, provides services to families so foster care will not be needed, etc III DAY CARE UNIT Recruits and certifies Day Care Homes, approves placement of children in these homes, arranges payment for Day Care if family is eligible for sub- sidy, etc IV CHILD PROTECTIVE UNIT Investigates all complaints of child abuse, neglect, or maltreatment, pro- vides and obtains necessary services on a 24 hour, 7 days a week basis COUNTY HOME As a unit of the Tompkins County Department of Social Services, the Tomp- kins County Home and Farm are maintained to provide a controlled environment for persons who are unable to function in a private setting The Home is an ap- proved Domicilary Care Facility under the Board of Social Welfare and one of two or three in New York State which still operates its farm The farm is maintained to provide food for the Home including therapy of those residents able to partici- pate. The Home's location on Perry City Road just off Route 96, makes it ideal for the person with a rural background or the urbanite who appreciates the peace and tranquility of the countryside The home provides food, shelter, special diets when necessary, assistance with all activities of daily living and a therapeutic, recreational and diversionary ac- tivity program for all residents Care and supervision are provided on a twenty- four hour basis. A total number of 20,075 days of resident care was given during 1976 FINANCIAL REPORT Totals for 1976 APPROPRIATIONS $11,740,845 25 EXPENDITURES $11,032,519 67 REVENUES $ 7,862,461 47 LOCAL SHARE $ 3,170,058.20 y Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 307 ANNUAL REPORT TOMPKINS COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY (Submitted by Lajos Mezgar, Director) (detailed report on file with Clerk of Board) During 1976 we took a hard look at our activities and services based on facts Instead of assumptions and wishful thinking. With help from the Friends of the Library we conducted two statistical sur- veys to learn about the people who are using our services and to know what kind if library materials are actually used We learned that about 3,000 persons come to the library every week and the majority of the registered 27,685 borrowers is using the library twice a month or more frequently Most of the people coming to the library did not come to borrow Books only, but made use of our information services, used reference materials, read newspapers or magazines, and brought in their children to use the children's department From the Library -Use Survey we learned that our total circulation may be broken down as follows Fiction -36%, Nonfiction -57 5%, and non -print materials such as phonograph records, audio cassettes and 16mm films account for 6 5%. 1 The most heavily used nonfiction books are Arts 9 62%, Applied Science 9;35%, Social Science 6 59%, History 5 95%, and Literature 3 07%. Our year end statistics showed an increase of 3 5% in reference use The de- mand for reference services increased steadily from 6,359 questions in 1970 to 14,048 in 1976, without any increase in our professional staff To cope with the existing high demand for reference services we transferred one professional posi- tion from the Children's Department to the Reference Department This step en- abled us to continue with adequate reference services but resulted in a cut-back in children's services We hope that the County Board of Representatives will soon approve a new professional position to restore the children's service to its original lel el. The reorganization of the library's interior started with the relocation of the circulation desk to provide adequate space to handle our over one-half million circulation and over 12,000 reserves The County Board of Representatives appropriated $15,535 00 from the Li- brary Fund Balance to purchase shelving and other library furniture which will enable us to open up 75% of the balcony space and to arrange our whole collection inla more rational way for our users I'd like to express my appreciation to Messrs Watros, Robey and Theisen of the County Intergovernmental Relations Committee for their support of the h- brary. My special thanks to Library Board Chairman Mrs Alice Young for her de- voted work during 1976. The volunteer help provided by the Friends of the Tompkins County Public Library has contributed significantly to our projects and alleviated our workload. I would also like to express my appreciation to our hbrary staff for their work and support during 1976. 308 Tompkins County, New York 1976 STATISTICS CIRCULATION Total circulation of library materials 517,597 Film circulation 2,379 Art Reproduction circulation 2,567 Audio materials (records, cassettes) circulation 30,619 Interlibrary loan to other libraries 6,784 Interlibrary loan from other libraries 2,036 MATERIALS OWNED Tompkins County Public Library book holdings 83,577 Finger Lakes Library System (C B A) book holdings 70,796 Grand Total book holdings 154,373 Tompkins County Public Library total material holdings 113,065 Finger Lakes Library System (C B A ) total materials holdings 73,993 Grand Total materials holdings 187,058 Number of Art Reproductions 554 Number of current periodical subscriptions 310 Number of phonorecords and audio cassettes 8,877 SERVICES Number of reference questions 14,048 Number of reserves filled 12,249 Number of registered borrowers 27,685 PERSONNEL IN FULL-TIME EQUIVALENTS Librarians 9 1 Clerical and page staff 27 2 Total 36 3 Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 309 ANNUAL REPORT I TOMPKINS COUNTY SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT (detailed report on file with Clerk) Landowner accomplishments with district assistance from January 1, 1976 to December 31, 1976 New District cooperators -23, number of different landowners Worked with -402, total requests to district for technical assistance -639, number of landowners applying a soil conservation practice -129; land management con- servation plans prepared -43, number of old plans revised -31, inventories and evaluations made on resource problems -143, number of units of governments as- sisted -33, detailed inventories provided to units of government -13; critical area seeded down with technical assistance -37 acres, animal waste holding areas con- structed under SCS guidance -4, sod waterway constructed under SCS guidance - 3434 feet, diversion ditch built under SCS guidance -5687 feet, ponds constructed under SCS guidance -6, open ditch constructed -5090 feet, tree planting -46 acres woodland improvement -50 acres, striperopping established under SCS guidance -210 acres, tile drains installed under SCS guidance -108,291 feet, housing subdivision reviewed by SCS staff -7 Highlights of 1976 The wet weather this year, plus the fact one cash crop farmer in the county purchased a tile trenching machine, resulted in the highest footage of underground drainage installed in the history of the Tompkins County Soil and Water Conservation District Annual Work Plan, emphasis was put on re- vising and developing conservation plans where they serve a useful purpose, in- stalling animal waste holding areas and striperopping and diversion ditches Spe- cial accomplishments in 1976 include. 1.
