P
EARLY HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF ENFIELD GOVERNMENT
On March 16, 1821 the Town of Enfield came into existence. 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.

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

TOWN SUPERVISOR
Come November, Etta Gray will be the Republican and Independent candidate in
the election for Enfield Town Supervisor. 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,

I would like to take this opportunity me as Town Clerk, to ask all Enfield residents to re-elect

community with good service and many available hours. I feel I have provided this
Also being a Notary public, I do not charge Enfield residents for this service.
I feel that I have kept my campaign promises and will continue to do so in the
future if re-elected.
The Clerk's jobs are many and I believe a continuity of service is in order to
best serve you the public as keeper of town records.

HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT
Dennis G. Hubbell, Write -In Candidate
After tremendous support by the Community I have decided to continue my
campaign for Highway Superintendent on a write-in ballot.
I am 29 years old and a life resident of the Town of Enfield. I reside at
152 Hubbell Drive with my wife Linda and 2 children Steven and Stephanie. I have
worked for the Enfield Highway Department as truck driver and equipment operator
since 1980. I have been an officer in the Enfield Volunteer Fire Company since
1976, the last 6 years as Fire Chief. I have had 12 years experience in the
construction field.
I myself have lived on a town road my entire life and know the concerns with
pot holes, dust, poor drainage and snow removal. Ia my 5 years as an employee with
the highway department I have seen many different ideas tryed. I know which ones
will work and which don't.
I believe that good leadership and better employee, employer relationship is
needed to provide the best service possible. I know I have the support and confidence
to accomplish this.
I would like to see continued harmony in the work force, for efficient and
effective team work.
I would appreciate your support on election day, as I have the energy to get
the Sobs Done. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 272-5034.

I would like to take this opportunity to ask all Enfield residents to re-elect
me as Town Clerk.
These past two years that I have been in office, I feel I have provided this
community with good service and many available hours.
Also being a Notary Public, I do not charge Enfield residents for this service.
I feel that I have kept my campaign promises and will continue to do so in the
future if re-elected.
The Clerk's jobs are many and I believe a continuity of service is in order to
best serve you the public as keeper of town records.

HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT
Dennis G. Hubbell, Write -In Candidate
After tremendous support by the Community I have decided to continue my
campaign for Highway Superintendent on a write-in ballot.
I am 29 years old and a life resident of the Town of Enfield. I reside at
152 Hubbell Drive with my wife Linda and 2 children Steven and Stephanie. I have
worked for the Enfield Highway Department as truck driver and equipment operator
since 1980. I have been an officer in the Enfield Volunteer Fire Company since
1976, the last 6 years as Fire Chief, I have had 12 years experience in the
construction field.
I myself have lived on a town road my entire life and know the concerns with
pot holes, dust, poor drainage and snow removal. In my 5 years as an employee with
the highway department I have seen many different ideas tryed. I know which ones
will work and which don't.
I believe that good leadership and better employee, employer relationship is
needed to provide the best service possible. I know I have the support and confidence
to accomplish this.
I would like to see continued harmony in the work force, for efficient and
effective team work.
I would appreciate your support on election day, as I have the energy to get
the Sobs Done. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 272-5034.

The rest of my time is occupied with a small horse boarding and breeding
business as well as a leather repair operation, working primarily on horse gear.
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

TOMPKINS COUNTY BOARD OF REPRESENTATIVES
Mamie Kirchgessner
As a candidate for the eighth district county board seat (Enfield south of
Mecklenburg Road and Newfield) I need your support to be elected so I welcome this
opportunity to tell you about myself. 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.

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.
Thank you, Dan Winch

As part of our effort to keep Enfield residents informed we have included a
map of our newly reapportioned election districts. A11 registered voters of District
1 (300 feet south of Mecklenburg Road) will vote at the Enfield Fire Station. Voters
north of the line will continue to vote at the Town Hall. The only difference at the
polling places will be for the office of County Board Candidate. District 1 continues
to vote for a candidate with residents of Newfield (Klrchgessner vs Winch) but District
2 now votes with the Town of Ulysses (Jim Mason unopposed).
Registration Day is October 12, 1985 at the Town Hall, 169 Enfield Main Road.
This must be done in person. Voter Registration will also be available at the
Enfield Harvest Festival on October 5, 1985.
