Thirty-six lots from the military tract were taken from Ulysses Township (#22) to form the Town of Enfield. At the time, Ulysses Township was a part of Tompkins County. Prior to that it was shuffled between Albany (1772), Tryon - later renamed Montgomery (1779-1791), Tioga (1791-1794). Onondaga (1794-1799). Cayuga (1799-1804) and Seneca (1804-1817) Counties. One of the earliest records of the Town of Enfield concern the recording of marks orbrands on stray animals. This book records each individual's particular mark. In this way any strays could be traced to its' owner. Whether or not they were returned is not known. Another early record book from the Town of Enfield contains the layout of the road system. It also contains the assignment of house numbers. In most cases this road layout remains basically the same today. A major change in how these roads were maintained occured over the years. Early residents were assessed a certain number of hours or days labor on the roads of their district. Today taxes pay for this road maintenance. A number of the local government's responsibility have been delegated elsewhere over the passage of time. • At one time, real estate assessors were elected by the Town. These assessments for tax purposes are now handled by the County Assessment Department. There was once an Overseer of the Poor in the Town of Enfield. This job now falls under the Social Service Department of the County. At one time the Town Clerk was responsible for recording the births and deaths occurring in the Town. This is now done by the Tompkins County Health Department, And the business which the Enfield Town Council now conducts was once all the responsibility of the Town Justices. Obviously, the government of the Town of Enfield has changed and expanded greatly over the last 164 years. -8- • Jack Hubbell Town Historian FROM THE DESK OF THE SUPERVISOR Only a few items of interest I would like to pass along. On July 10, 1985 at our regular meeting a public hearing was held on a dog control law. After the public hearing, which was attended by 15 people, the Town Board re -convened and adopted the Proposed Dog Control Law which is now in effect. This being an election year, I would like to remind everyone again of the change in election districts. You were notified by post card from the Board of Elections as to which district you are in and the place to vote. Voting places are in two locations. District 1 votes at the fire house (upstairs) - use back door. District 2 votes in the Town Hall. The following offices are to be filled in this year's election: Supervisor, Town Clerk, Superintendent of Highways. Justice of the Peace for 4 years, Justice of the Peace for 2 years and two (2) Councilmen. There has been approximately 45 building permits issued since January 1, 1985. I am still receiving inquiries as to where to pick up the building permit applications. They can be picked up at the Town Clerk's Office. This is a good indication that the Town is growing. Mr. Lee Haefele reports he has 258 people signed up as of July 5th and plans to run more extensions on the Cable Television System. Myself and the Town Board will be working on next year's budget over the next . two (2) months, so watch your newspapers for public hearing notifications on the budget. The preliminary budget will be adopted on October 2, 1985 and the final budget will be adopted on November 6, 1985. That's all for now folks! A REMINDER: Town Board meetings are held on the FIRST Wednesday of each month and everyone is welcome to attend. See how your town government operates. Roger Hubbell, Town Supervisor MORE ON THE CABLE Haefele TV, Inc. will extend current cable lines if they can be assured of an average of 14 cable hookups per mile. Residents of the Hines, Porter Hill, Trumbulls Corners and Connecticut Hill Roads are trying to determine if there is enough interest in their neighborhood to attract cable connections. If you live on these roads, contact Jim Morris at 467 Trumbulls Corners Road, Newfield, 564-7658 with your name and address if you are interested. There is no initial connection charge if you sign up within 2 weeks of the cable being installed. Basic service for Enfield is $14 per month with a discount for advance payments of at least 6 months. PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT Being a teen -aged parent is no easy job. If you have four hours a week to spend with a teen, you could give some needed support. Volunteers are needed to be friends and advocates for teen mothers and pregnant teens. These young women need help with such issues as: homemaking, parenting, health care, education, jobs and finding services. The Tompkins County Teen Pregnancy - Parenting Program is looking for volunteers willing to make a year -long commitment. Training and ongoing consulta- tion are provided. For more information, call 273-1055.

She is grateful to all the Enfieldens who have made this achievement possible. Etta did not sprout in Enfield but was transplanted 25 years ago from Albany, N.Y. (at the age of 35, which makes her 60 now). After she and her husband Adam raised their three daughters and sent them on their way - one to New York City and two to Trumansburg - there was time for various hobbies and community activities in addition to a full time job. But there is a lot of life in the old girl yet and she wants to use that energy and enthusiasm for the betterment of Enfield. So, if you live in Enfield, you can • expect to hear from Etta Gray asking for your help to make Enfield the greatest little town in this county. Why not? Candidate Gray xxxxxxxxxx Roger W. Hubbell. Democratic candidate for Supervisor. I have served as your supervisor for the last six years. I am again seeking re-election and asking for your support based primarily on experience, budget preparation, financial expertise and sound judgment. I have always tried and will continue to hold the line on taxes, which is the main issue in any election. In a town such as Enfield, the bulk of the annual budget lies in the Highway Fund. We are trying and succeeding slow but sure in improving the highway system in the Town with aid from the State (CHIPS) Program - better known as the Consolidated Highway Improvement Program. Since I have been Supervisor I have set-up super savings accounts in which all Town money is deposited. In doing this we are accumulating $11,000 to $12,000 annually in interest, which is used to lower the tax rate. Enough money is trans- ferred from these accounts to the checking accounts each month to pay the bills. I have always felt it was my duty to the taxpayers and voters of the Town to hold the line on taxes, and get the most out of what money we have to work with. We happen to be the smallest town in the county, with the smallest tax base, and we are trying with all our might to make it a good place to live and raise our families. There have been many accomplishments that have taken place in the last six years I have been a member of the Town Board. There are too many to list them all. To mention a few: 1) cable TV for densely populated areas, 2) dog control law, 3) specifications and guidelines established on take over by the Town of private roads, 1214E 0 4) revision and establishing policy on health insurance eligibility in accordance with the State Health Insurance Law. t, I will say again I have enjoyed serving as S%4Mls% J01 tilts last S y���s and would like your support again this fall, i C TOWN Shirley M.

I feel strongly that to keep our democratic form of government strong requires each individual to participate as much as they are able, beginning with the act of voting. I believe that I currently have enough time energy and experience to serve Enfield as an unbiased Councilwoman.

My name is Margaret "Marnie" Kirchgessner. I am married to Greg "Egg" Kirchgessner and we have 2 daughters Gretchen 5 and Amanda 16 months. I have lived all my life in Ithaca. My parents still reside in the same house on Jersey Hill where I was raised. My husband bought our home at 191 Enfield Main Road in 1978 because we saw Enfield as a good place to live and raise a family. Both Greg and I became involved in the community, I with the Community Council and he with the fire department. We believe giving time back to the community improves the quality of life for everyone. After working for the county for 12 years, I Left in June to be a full time homemaker. I feel being a former employee gives me good insight into the problems of Tompkins County. My husband continues to work for the CPS of the Department of Social Services and raise chickens. I have regularly attended many county board and committee meetings over the past four years and have first hand knowledge of many of the issues the county board deals with. I have participated in the budget process as a member of the public to keep our taxes low. What I admire most about the people of Enfield is their strong independent nature. I have found my neighbors open and frank and have made many friends. I • hope I will be able to serve you as your County Representative. If you have any questions feel free to call me at home 272-2241. •�z�+e�x:rnx Dan Winch, District 8, Board of Reps Graduate of Newfield Central School 1960; age 43 Occupation: Farm 6 Research Manager, Cornell University As many of you know, I was appointed in February 1985 to fill the remaining term of Jim Ray as your representative to the County Board. Prior to the vote to fill this position, I met with the Newfield Republican Committee and the majority of the Enfield Town Board on another occasion. Mostly we talked about my background and philosophy of local government. I was pleased that Dave Bock, a Democrat from Enfield, nominated me for this position. As I am a Republican, this demonstrated bipartisan support and showed that the rural philosophy prevails in both parties. I am a blue collar worker with twenty-four years of service in the Department of Plant Breeding at Cornell. A few years ago I was appointed to a middle management position. My community service record is quite lengthy, with ten years of service on the Newfield School Board. At one time I was Vice -President. As a 13-year member of the Newfield Athletic Booster Club I am a former officer and served as co-chairman of the athletic fieldhouse building program (a two locker room and two coaches' rooms, masonary facility) saving Newfield taxpayers plus/minus $90,000. My service to the Cornell community, above and beyond my job position, has included: 1. being instrumental in forming a Farm Managers group to promote safety programs and a vector to disseminate information among middle management managers. I was the first chairman and served for about six years. _ 15- • 2. being instrumental in forming the first lab safety committee in Bradfield Hall and getting it rolling smoothly. Both of the above programs have been cited for being excellent groups and producing very good safety programs. They have been used as models, both by the College of Agriculture Administration and the Cornell Administration. It is my feeling that the above demonstrates my abilities to organize, to work with groups, and to get things done for the good of the community. As a school board member and as a county representative I have been labeled as a conservative. I support needed programs only after I am convinced that they will benefit many people, especially the rural that live in our two communities. I serve on the following committees on the County Board: 1) Public Safety and Corrections; 2) Special Jail Construction (appointed due to previous experience in this field); 3) Human Services; 4) Health. May I ask for your bipartisan support from our rural area of Enfield and Newfield in November? I believe I have a proven track record, working hard both in the workplace and in my community. Perhaps you might discuss my brief experience with your Town Board. I am looking forward to working with You and for you. I hope that we plan on continuing for the next four years, together.
