The following message from Mayor Conley was presented to the Board. 11 January 14, 1946 Board of Public Works City Hall Ithaca, N. X. Gentlemen= During the past five years, our engagement in a world conflict has caused you to postpone as much maintenance work as possible, and has prohibited new work by the City, Y ou have done an excellent job in keeping the city services in as good condition as we now find them, Among my recommendations made during my campaign for office, was that of the appointment of a Superintendent of Public Works, as pro- vided for in the City Charter. Since I have taken office I am more convinced than ever, that such an appointment is most desirable, The. City Engineer has been designated as Acting Superintendent of Public Works, and he has done a very good job. His position as City En- gineer is a full time job. He could and should be engaged in that work continuously. - Highway•Foreman, August Alby,, who has had many years of experience in his job, has gone to Florida. His health has failed and his phy- sician has recommended that he retire from City services. We have reached a time when we may expect that we will be able to do more maintenance work,than during the past few years. We may eve be able to start some new construction. We should prepare for this time by now asking that A Civil Service examination be held and a list of candidates prepared for this position of Superintendent of Public Works,, In connection with your work, I have found that in most cases, no capable younger person is being groomed to take over the work, whEr the heads of departments now handling this work, retires or becomeE incapacitated. A system of apprencticeships if you please, should immediately be started. Capable younger men should be hired to learn the business of the departments, and be able to take over when the time comes. This matter should be given your early considera- tion, and be acted on promptly. c guP Yours Very Truly, James Conley Mayor ti Comrrsissioner Ward explained that the appointment of a Supt, of Public bvorks has been under consideration for several years past, j.ut due to war conditions it appeared impossible to secure suit- able person for the position, and he agreed that it now se "d a proper time to employ a Superintendent., He called attention to the requirements as set up in the classif___ cation plan and the salary range as set up in the salary schedule and expressed the opinion that they should be revised, and it was moved ;y Comm.-Ward; sec. by Comm, Dixon Resolved, that the Mayor be requested to appoint a committee to in- vestigate the matter and make recommendations at an early date, Carried pl 4 Public Works Proceedings -*2.o Jan. 15, 1946 COMMITTEE The Mayor appointed the following to the committee't oZo mm' issioners Ward, Hull, Dixon. _'1PPRENTICE DEPT.

H. Springer, City Clerk City of Ithaca, N. Y, Dear Mr, Springer:- At your request I examined Dominick Campagna, Mr. Campagna says that he was first operated for hernia which he sustained in his work in September 1943 and that it recurred in August 1944 after lifting a heavy piece of machinery. He was operated on again for the repair of the hernia in February 1945 and since that time has been employed on inside work on city buildings with no recurrenee of pain or lump in his side. He is a well developed man; 46 years of age with no complaints. Eyes, pupils equal, regular, react to light and accomo. dation. His blood pressure, heart, lungs and abdomen are normal and I regard him as in excellent physical condition. His hernia soc;ms to be completely cured and I can detect no weak• ness in the abdominal wall and I believe that if he uses due care in outside work that there is not much likelihood of a recurrence. We usually think that a hernia which has been cured over a period of six months is likely to be permanently cured and that a recurrence after that time would be a new rather than an old hernia and I am inclined to agree with Dr. Forster that Mr, Campagna is now all right for m ^aerate out door work. Very truly yours, Joseph N. Frost, M.D. The Clerk reported that application has been made to the Municipal Civil Service Commission for an eligible list from which a janitor may be appointed.

Miller, Luhr, Ward, Daniels Attorney - Lee City Engineer"Acting Supt. of Public llorks- Cass 'a-ater Supt... Carpenter Plumbing Inspector - Tutton Deputy City Clerk.. Blean It Mayor Conley announced that this special meeting had been called in order to review plans for the proposed new subdivision being developed by Cornell University to house some of its faculty, The location, comprising of about 8 acres and providing about 40 lots for building purposes, is located east of Hudson'St. be- tween Crescent & Pearsall Place and extending to the D.LE& W,R.R. Co. tracks* SUBDIVISION Engineer Crandall, representing the University, was present and explained the plans in detail, pointing out that wren comNleted this tract would add apy�roximately `4250,000.00 to the City's assessed valuation, whereas if 1 --ft to private individ- uals would probably never be developed because of the expense in- volved. He also stated that City Engineer Cass had objected,to the width of Crescent Place w'dich is only 20' for about 1501, the balance being; 301. This street will probably carry most of the traffic in and from this developement. He suggested that the City acquire enough land on Crescent Place to widen the entire street to 301 and also that some assurance be given the Univer- sity that the proposed streets in the subdivision would be taken over and maintained by the City when they met City requirements. Engineer Cass estimated that a strip of land about 61 wide on the north side and 41 on the south side of Crescent Place for a dis- tance of about 1501 would be required to make the street a satis- factory width* By Comm. Miller, sec. by Comm. Luhr Resolved, that the preliminary plans of this new subdivision as presented be and the same hereby are approved, and that the City will consider accepting title to the proposed streets therein when all rules and regulations pertinent thereto have been net and complied with# Carried. By Comm, Miller; sec, by Comm. Daniels Resolved, that the Highway Committee be authorized to in- vestigate the possibility of acquiring title to enough land on Crescent Place to insureits being widened when the occasion warrants it.
