Y. Attention Mayor IV,. G. Comfort Dear Sir: In accordance with your suggestion, we are pleased to submit here,aith, information in connection with the rroposed estab- lishment by our company, of scheduled air transportatLon service between Ithaca and New York City. 1. This 1r ,,ill be a scheduled air line service in all respects, operated in full accordance with the rules of the Civil Aeronautics Authority. All details of this operation have been resented to and approved by, the CAA regional office in New York City, and the CAA office in Rochester. The Civil Aeronautics Board is charged with responsibility for control of interstate air travel, and does not have jurisdiction in this case. This has been taken up T.Arith the main office of the CAB at Vashington, D.C. 2. The service will start with one round trip per day to New York, and, it is hoped, will shortly be expanded to two trips ner day, t, +Tith the addition later of schedules to other hew York State Cities. These schedules will be operated for the present during daylight hours, and with due regard for �,reather conditions. 3. Our oilots will all have instrument ratings, and the planes will be fully equipped with two way radio and complete inst- ruments for instrument .flight. It is our intention, however, to operate only occasionally and for brief periods under instrument weather conditions. 4. The airplanes used will be four place Fairchild planes, comfortable, sturdy ships, niith grood ventilation and heating equip- ment. They have a moderate landing speed, and excellent flight ch.ar- act °ristics. 5. Our planes are fully insured. We carry the same pass- enger liability insurance as is carried by the major airlines of C. S. Robinson, President — Chief Engineer • Dorothy H. Robinson, Vice President — Treasurer . Leslie V. Robinson, Vice President — Production CIt7 of Ithaca the United States. �I-e have been informed that all ne sonal IiCe insurance, which is valid on the major airlines, will be fully valid _)n our scheduled runs. ;e have been spec- ifilcal1v informed of this b tine Ne,,.rr Life insuranc'- _a r� a ri and bA, the if- Assurance Zoc'_ety. be the Hea. dqu al; te r 9 for trtis oner- ation.

Mr. Peckham has advised me that you are instituting a passenger airline between New York City and Ithaca, N. Y. I wish to con- gratulate you upon this undertaking and express the wish that 411117 it proves successful and beneficial to the residents of both cities and surrounding territory. You undoubtedly have read in the press and aviation publications that the Equitable removed restrictions in individual life insur- ance policies in regards to passenger flying and that, not only is full coverage provided for all civilian passenger flying with res- pect to the face amount of policies currently issued, but such liberalization hes been made retroactive with respect to all poli- cies previously issued with war and aeronautics exclusion riders.

Dear Mr. Robinson: lirPursuant to our conversation of even date, please be advised that this Company recognizes its liability in the event of death of an insured, who dies as the result of an airplane accident, provided he is traveling as a fare-paying passenger in a licensed transport plane operated by a pilot who is licensed to operate such a type of plane, and provided also that the plane is flying on a regularly scheduled route between definitely establish- ed airports. You mentioned that your Company is inaugurating a passenger service between Ithaca and New York, and that it has been planned to extend this service at a later date between Buffalo and New York. Any passengers carried by your line are covered, provided the provisions referred to above are being complied with at the time of an accident.

Bergholtz to the City of Ithaca, dated December 31, 1908 (Liber 169 of Deeds at page 439) conveys, with other title, a right of way for street purposes 50 ft. in width a- long the south side of Fall Creek between North Cayuga Street and the Lehigh Valley Railroad to be measured from the line of the creek as improved, and with the fee reserved in Bergholtz. Bergholtz also laid out a sub division map of the lands in this vicinity showing a Water Street along the south side of the Creek, ,the width being unspecified but apparently well in excess of 50 ft. at the westerly end. Property owners acquired the lots along the southerly side of this so called street (now termed Woodland Place) in accordance with the sub division map; but the City has never officially opened up the 50 ft. street they are entitled to under the Bergholtz deed. The owner along the southerly side of Woodland Place for approx jimately the westerly half of its length is Bessie S. Johnson and her Douse encroaches about 10 feet into Water Street as shown on thesub- 4vision map but does not infringe on any reasonable interpretation 'ibf the location of the cityl s 50 ft. right of way. Due to the indefinite wording of the Bergholtz deed and the � v ari- q us interpretations that can be plat e d on the specification of " Line lof the Greek as improved ", it is important that the south line of !the 50 ft. right of way be established definitely along the Johnson ,property as a preliminary step in clearing her title. Subject to verification by the City Attorney and the Attorneyfor Pessie Johnson, it appears to me that the titles along Woodland Place �ow stand as follows; 1. The City has full title in Fall Creek as improved all along the north side of Woodland Place. 2. The City has a right of way only, for street purposes, 50 ft. in width bounded northerly by the improved creek; exact location being uncertain. 3. Bessie Johnson, W. Glenn Norris, and Walter S. Cummings, the owners along the south side of Woodland Place, have full title up to the south line of dater Street, which is definitely marked on the ground; and also by a well known legal principle, own the fee to the center of said Water Street on the south side in front of their res- pective lots subject to a right of way for each in Water Street. Rights of other lot owners who also bought in accordance with a map showing Water Street can be neglected as in no way did Water Street provide any access to their lots. 4. The balance of the fee in Water Street and the 50 ft. R.O.W. from a point 8.5 feet west of the Johnson house east to N. Cayuga St. is in the Bergholtz Estate. In order to cure the situation with respect to Bessie Johnsonts ;itle, the following steps are recommended; 1. Get the Common Council of the City to confirm by resolution and recording in the Monument Book the southerly line of the 50 ft. City right of t -2- way adjoining Bessie Johnson's property as shown on my survey map. (see suggested resolution attached). 2. Secure a Quit Claim Deed from Bergholtz heirs to Johnson for all their right, title and interest in Water Street and the City's 50 ft. right of way from N. Cayuga Street westerly to the railroad. This will not only clear the triangle into which the Johnson house projects but will put the abutting owners in shape to convey a fee to the City if and when it is decided to officially establish a street here. 31 Secure a Quit Claim from Norris and Cummings to Johnson for any right of way they have in Water Street northwest of the northwest line of the 20 ft. lane prolonged to the waters edge of Pall Creek. Signed Carl Crandall, Engineer a Suggested Resolution WHEREAS, an uncertainty exists as to the exact location of a 50 ft, right of way for street purposes as owm d by the City of Ithaca along the southerly side of Fall Creek, as improved, from North Cayuga,Street westerly to the Lehigh Valley Railroad, and with special reference to that portion of the southerly line of said right of way along the norther- ly side of the Bessie S. Johnson property; and it is in the interest of the City and said property owner that such line be definitely fixed, and VdHhRLKS, it has been the custom and practice of the City in case of uncertain street lines during past years to cause a fair and equitable survey to be made fixing a monumer_ted line to be confirmed by resolution of the Common Council and recorded in the 1�onument nook in the City Clerk's Office, and WHEREAS, such a survey has been made and mapped by Carl Crandall, Civil Engineer, and same is acceptable to said Bessie S. Johnson, and is furthermore recommended as being fair and equitable by the City Attorney and the.City Engineer, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Common Council of the City of Ithaca does hereby confirm and establish the southerly line of said City right of way along the Johnson property pursuant to said map and survey, as follorvs;- Beginning at an iron pipe marking the north corner of the residence lot of W. Glenn Norris, said pipe being 143.5 feet west from the west line of North Cayuga Street and 284 feet north from the north line of West York Street; Running thence North 400 West (magnetic of year 1944) 164.2 feet to an iron pipe set in the easterly right of way line of the Auburn Branch of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, said course at 71 feet passing 15 feet northeasterly at right angles from the northeast corner of the Bessie S. Johnson house. It is further directed thatthis action be recorded in the aforementioned Lionument Book, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the establishing of the above mentioned line shall not be deemed to affect any other property or rights granted to the City of Ithaca by deed of Adelina T. Bergholtz dated December 31, 1908 and recorded in the Tompkins County Clerkts Office in Liber 169 of Deeds at page 439.

The owner along the southerly side of Woodland Place for approx- imately the westerly half of its length is Bessie S. Johnson and he house encroaches about 10 feet into Water Street as shown on the sub division map but does not infringe on any reasonable interpretation of the location of the city's 50 ft. right of way. Due to the indefinite wording of the Bergholtz deed and the vari ous interpretations that can be placed on the specification of "Lin; of the Creek as improved", it is important that the south line of the 50 ft. right of way be established definitely along the Johnson property as a preliminary step in clearing her title. Subject to verification by the City Attorney and the Attorneyfor Bessie Johnson, it appears to me that the titles along Woodland Pla•e now stand as follows: 1.

The balance of the fee in Water Street and the 50 ft. 415 R.O.W. from a point 8.5 feet west of the Johnson house east to N. Cayuga St. is in the Bergholtz Estate. In order to cure the situation with respect to Bessie Johnsonfs Title, the following steps are recommended: 1. Get the Common Council of the City to confirm by resolution and recording in the Monument Book the southerly line of the 50 ft. City right of -2- way adjoining Bessie Johnson's property as shown on my survey map. (See suggested resolution attached) . 2. Secure a Quit Claim Deed from Bergholtz heirs to Johnson for all their right, title and interest in Water Street and the City' s 50 ft. right of way from N. Cayuga Street westerly to the railroad. This will not only clear the triangle into which the Johnson house projects but will put the abutting owners in shape to convey a fee to the City if and when it is decided to officially establish a street here. 3. Secure a Quit Claim from Norris and Cummings to Johnson for any right of way they have in Water Street northwest of the northwest line of the 20 ft. lane prolonged to the waters edge of Fall Creek. Signed Carl Crandall, Engineer • a bu rt. right of way ror street purposes as owra d by the City of Ithaca along the southerly side of Fall Creek, as improved, from North Cayuga ,Street westerly to the Lehigh Valley Railroad, and with special reference to that portion of the southerly line of said right of way along the norther- ly side of the Bessie S. Johnson property; and it is in the interest of the City and said property owner that such line be definitely fixed, and WHEREAS, it has been the custom and practice of the City in case of uncertain street lines during past years to cause a fair and equitable survey to be made fixing a monumented line to be confirmed by resolution of the Common Council and recorded in' the Monument Book in the City Clerk' s Office, and WHEREAS, such a survey has been made and mapped by Carl Crandall, Civil Engineer, and same is acceptable to said Bessie S. Johnson, and is furthermore recommended as being fair and equitable by the City Attorney and the. City Engineer, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Common Council of • the City of Ithaca does hereby confirm and establish the southerly line of said City right. of way along the Johnson property pursuant to said map and survey, as follows:- Beginning at an iron pipe marking the north corner of the residence lot of W. Glenn Norris, said pipe being 143.5 feet west from the west line of North Cayuga Street and 284 feet north from the north line of West York Street; Running thence North 400 West (magnetic of year 1944) 164.2 feet to an iron pipe set in the easterly right of way line of the Auburn Branch of the Leh:4h Valley Railroad, said course at 71 feet passing 15 feet northeasterly at right angles from the northeast corner of the Bessie S. Johnson house. It is further directed that this action be recorded in the aforementioned Monument Book, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the establishing of the above mentioned line shall not be deemed to affect any other property or rights granted to the City of Ithaca by deed of Adelina T. Bergholtz dated December 31, 1908 and recorded in the Tompkins County Clerk's Office in Liber 169 of Deeds at page 439.

Miller Resolved, that it is the sonso cf this Board that tho previous ox- perience of Mr. Freese justifies a wage rate exooeding the minimum for the position, and that ho be paid a basic rate of .73 per hour.

Engineer Cass reported that James F. organ, TuMior Engincor, has requested an adjustment in his salary since the increase in living costs including a $10.00 monthly in- crease in house rent makes it impossible for him to exist on his present salary. He stated that Mr. Morgan wishes to retain his position but may be forced to leave the city, as it is impossible tc find other living quarters, Various moans of increasing his salary, in order to retain his valr ad services ware discussed, and it was pointed out that promotion to the position of Assn. Engr. for which he is qualified would c^rx- an increase in salary undor the approved compensation plan but is impossible since the position was not established by the Civil Sur - vice Commission at the time the plan was prepared although they wore roquustod to do so. It was pointed out that if the 15% cost of living bonus cou bo extondod to salaries of $2600.00 annually instead of Q2500.O at prc sent, the increase in net salary would solve the problem and would offoct only one other city criployoe and that one in the year 190. by uomm.- Dixon; sec, by Comm, Daniels solved, that the Common Council bo requested to uxtonc' thy.: 151, cost of living bonus to officors and employees receiving up to anc. includinG w2600.00 annually. Carried and Approved6 M r � d October 19, 1945 Report on the Employment and VVage Situation, Tjpe of Investigation; - On Sept. 20, 1945 the Board of Public Works directed me to ac-- quire such data as I could relative to the employment and wabe situta -- tion in Ithaca and, in other cities in the State of a similar s:LZo canc.. to offer to the Board a recommendation as to necessary adjustments in our wage structure„ ii.s one moans of acquiring such data I prepared a questionair•c: askinr� for p.rosont wage rates, working conditions,, etc. This qu ;::s� tior -rt._..evvas sent to 16 employers in the Ithaca aroa and to 0 cities, In addition I personally visited Cortland, Genova, Corning and Elmira Nearly all of the quustionnairos wore returned. This data has boon t::bulL,tc,d and further developed in brzr graph which clearly indicatos the various wage: rangos of tho City wit! rolation to wages *prLid in other Zri(lastriGs and other citios. Unfo_rtur at,,, this t,- )bulation and graph cannot oasily be dove ;lopod for inclus- ion in this report. Rosults of Investigation;- Of groatost interest is tho fact that in tho wago sole l:;vci of comrnon labor, semi - skillod labor and truck drivers tho r::cngc, of fray now paid by the City of Ithaca is abovo the avorage :,nd in most ca, e is higher than that paid elsewhere. It is also true; with two or thrc vory prominent exceptions in the classification of heavy equipment op- ,�rator. In this instance this is a comparison with other ci.ti.os and tho local town, county and state rates thoso being tho only nrics hava_ operator employees of this type. The data obtained as a comb- .rison i the skilled. 1,,.bor group is clouded by trio fact so many of t'-i,_, rcplie .. arc from cone ?erns where these; employee rates are set by a unic.n agree wont. Even a comparison with other cities and the local town, cola -Ity and state rates show a tremendous variation with our prosent rc_:tes ota the low side, , Lnother fact developed which is of some interest is that of tho 13 Govornmontal units reporting 3 pay time and a half for ovcort. ono iias a labor union and 7 operate under State Civil Service. Of 10 cities r�purting ono employs non -city residents, 4 employ nc-n -cit; r.jsidunts in emergency and 5 do not employ them at all. With two exceptions, _,nu being the Gun Co., all replics _i.n.di- c :to they ar,_ employing more nlk.rn.. Seale, replicas, and from my converse, tions with others, indicate that, they arc, unable to et now iron. In oth,.,r words they arc oncounting th(; sarau difficultl,�s that wo n.ro. Rocont nowspap,7)r articles w_i.th the L.S.E.S. offices in Ithacl, and Syracuse as the sc ureo of inforriati-,,n indl.eatc:s tii ^.t th,',r,, are groat numbers of jobs available.

In this regard I wish to quote a paragraph Irc;r: tri a°_ ticlo in the Syracuse Post Standard of October 18 from data s7ppliuc'lby bho Syracuso office of tho U.S.E.S. "Tho largest part of the USES file of male job a.p, ;licr.nts cc sistod of 829 semi- skillod workers of various ages, such as „inglo rr.,- chino operators and inspectors, the majority up- graded during, tho ooi iod of all-out war production and at prosont unwilling or unqualif _cc' to accept unskilled work ".

The trond. of omployin�nt in the ayracuso aroa is to plat an °ige lir.•iit on the hiring of now criplr >yc:cs so as to reduco tho avoragc ago, of their omployoos. -2- Conclusions: - A number of pertinent facts _ire i-nmodiatoly apparent in ccnnF ;c tion with tho present labor situation.. These may be sviizmrizod: a. Workmen now employed ,are in most casos still ably: to buil,-1 up lar *o weekly pay chocks by working ov:,rtin:o at time an(, a half. This condition will probably continue as long; as the employment situation stays tight. b. Workers who have enjoyed high pay and insi�' e worll- in war jobs are naturally reluctant to go back to any type: of common labor that involves the use of a pick anc? shovel, C, Rotsurning service men are also naturally reluctant to ac- Copt corn.(:.on labor jobs except as a last resort. c. Extra employee advantages such as vacation tire, sick leave benefits, etc, arc not «.-pt to be given as much consider tion in times of inflated wage values such as noao f. The present labor situation is extremely uncort,iin and in a relatively short poriod of time coul0l change d.rrLsticall either to our furthor detriment or to our adventago. d. So long as thorn is an abundance of work of all lain' ; an,', v.horu overtime work at 12 regular pay scale: is eneeuragud thoro will bu no desiro for City labor jobs' �_.ven thou6huii straight time pay scale is average or above. g.

Such a policy shoulC be practised for a limitu(2 timo only as it is recognized thatthis is an undesirablo policy. Such mor. would be availabe only for regular work and could not be Copon.Qed for winter eindoring, etc. If such omploying is normittcd in any !. the competitive Civil Service classifications the Civil Survic , (',or1,n: sion must agrou to limit their residency requirements for examinati -., to residents of the Countyt of the Town of Ithaca or some suc. r6sz� ic- tion that will embrace the locality of such men as w;;rc or :i1- -ycc?. Benefit to the City might also result in the adol)ti on of tim- and a half pay. Whethmr this would be an inducement to now 0,r.iployoe;• I cannot say but I do believe it would aid in bein„ able to turn ::ut more men for the highly undesirable emergency night work such as tine= Bring, snow removal, etc. It has always been cunsidored impossible for the City to dothis , -Iuc to the torms of Section 160 of the Labor Law. It is a fact howevcr- that a number of cities within the State are paying time and a half, This is a matter for a legal interpretation of the law anc! Mr. Powor:. has started inquiries to detormino how other cities are able tc so :, gate. If this wore to be undertaken here I would rocommend time air( ,A half for all time over 44 hours and for all error oncy or oxtra tire( CD workod between tho hours of 8 P.NI, and 7 A.M. Tho statements above reprosont only my own into rprc:tat;i�-,ns c, prosont conditions and r:1y own recorunendaticns.
