Clerk of Canandaigua relative to tapping of the waters of
Canandaigua Lake ; also resolutions passed by the Board of
Supervisors of Ontario County, Canandaigua Chamber of
Commerce, together with a letter from Paul N. Farnham,
Secretary of the Finger Lakes Association relative to the
Hollinger Bill.
Resolution No 43 Opposing Legislation Re: Hollinger Bill
Mr. Downey offered the following resolution and moved its
adoption .
Whereas, the legislature of the State of New York has
passed the so-called "Hollinger Bill," being introductory num-
ber 3146, print number 3760, creating the Northwestern New
York Water Authority District and the Northwestern New
York Water Authority ; and,
Whereas, the area over which said district and authority
shall have control as set forth at Paragraph 1076 of the bill
itself states that it is intended to comprise the area of Niagara,
62 April 10, 1950
Orleans, Genesee, Monroe and Wayne Counties together with
the northerly portions of Livingston and Ontario Counties,
and
Whereas, the authority is authorized but shall not be re-
quired to operate and function both in and outside of such
parts of said territory as it may determine from time to time,
except as limited in section ten hundred eighty-two of this
title, and
Whereas, the duration of the authority according to para-
graph 2 of Section 1077 of the bill is perpetual unless its exis-
tence is hereinafter terminated or altered by statute of the
State of New York hereafter duly enacted However, the
legislature shall not terminate the existence of the authority
until all of its liabilities have been met and its bonds have
otherwise been discharged. Although Section 1090 of the bill
provides that the bonds and obligations of the authority shall
not be a debt of the State of New York or of any municipali-
ties, and
Whereas, only limited number of public hearings were held
within the defined limits of the district and no hearings out-
side in vitally affected areas, and
Whereas, the bill by Sec. 1092 exempts the authority from
the payment of any and all taxes on properties which it may
acquire or over which it exercises any jurisdiction or super-
vision in our townships,
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Board of Super-
visors of Tompkins County requests the Governor to veto this
bill for the following reasons :
1 That since Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and the Niagara
River are inexhaustable sources of supply for the counties of
Niagara, Orleans and Genesee which are in the area of the
proposed district, our people urge that the authority should
be confined to that area.
2 That the life of the authority is fixed as perpetual and
cannot be terminated as long as there is any liability out-
standing.
3. That despite the established precedent no public hearings
April 10, 1950 63
were scheduled or held outside the district defined in the law
and neither were hearings held in such communities as Gen-
eva, Canandaigua, Ithaca, Watkins Glen, Penn Yan, Elmira,
Corning, Bath, Hornell, Auburn and many others which would
suffer from establishment of the proposed authority.
4. That the bill is an unconstitutional creation of a per-
petual authority.
5 That the budgets of our respective counties and other
municipalities already overburdened by numerous exemptions
would suffer irreparable loss of revenue
Seconded by Mr Shoemaker. Carried.
Mr Downey reported relative to review of assessments by

Dr. C. Stewart Wallace, President of the Medical Society,
read a letter from that organization addressed to the Chair-
man of this Board as follows:
TOMPKINS COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY
Ithaca, New York
June 14, 1950
The Honorable Harvey Stevenson
Chairman, Tompkins Co. Board of Supervisors
Ithaca, N. Y.
Dear Mr. Stevenson :
On March 28, 1950 your Health Coordination Committee
met with representatives of the Board of Trustees of the
Tompkins County Hospital Corporation, representatives of the
Board of Managers of the hospital, and several doctors repre-
senting the Medical Staff of the Tompkins County Memorial
Hospital, and the Tompkins County Medical Society. You
asked that the doctors of the County express their group opin-
ion as to what should be done to meet the total health needs
of Tompkins County, with particular reference to the hospital
96 June 26, 1950
problem. Dr. Wallace, speaking for the doctors, promised to
bring you such an opinion. The following statement represents
the considered opinion of the Medical Society and has been
passed by unanimous vote
I—At the present time the responsibility for the provision
of adequate hospital facilities for the citizens of this County
and the proper management thereof hes with the Board of
Supervisors. Therefore, any action must be initiated by them
II—The doctors spend many working hours in the hospi-
tal and believe themselves to be in a more advantageous posi-
tion than any other group in determining the adequacy of our
hospital services It is our considered and unanimous opinion
that the hospital facilities are grossly inadequate and are be-
coming more so daily Illustrative examples to substantiate
our opinion have been submitted previously, and additional
material will be gladly furnished upon request.
III—The doctors are convinced that both the practical and
ideal solution of the problem is a new hospital on a new site
with provision for future growth as circumstances require.
IV—The Board of Supervisors employed a firm of hospi-
tal consultants who have recommended a new hospital on a
new site as the best solution to our hospital problem. The
Board has not seen fit to take steps to implement this report
and we have heard that its reasons are:
A. The capital outlay of the project as estimated appears
to be excessive.
B. The Board is not sure that the cost would not exceed
the estimates.
C. The Board has no information regarding the cost of
operation of the proposed hospital.
D. The Board questions whether it would not be cheaper
to radically alter the present hospital and build an
addition to it.
E. The Board is not sure that its constituents will sup-
port an adequate health and hospital program
June 26, 1950 97
Factual data with respect to A, B, C, and D as above can
readily be obtained Both the costs of construction and the
costs of operation can be estimated and predicted within rea-
sonably accurate hmits There is available to the County with-
out cost, dependable analytical service to acquire these data
Unpredictable changes in wage scales or methods of medi-
cal care prevent projecting the estimated cost of operation
more than ten years in the future. Any radical changes in
these factors would be common to all hospitals and all com-
munities and certainly a new and efficiently designed unit
would fare better than an antiquated one The problem then
reduces itself to a decision as to whether the present hospital
can be radically altered, enlarged, and operated at a signifi-
cantly less cost than a new hospital on a new site. We believe
the Board needs to answer these questions before it can take
any action and that these answers can be readily obtained
With respect to E, as above, we believe there has been
considerable talk about this general problem and for the most
part no one has been in possession of sufficient facts to justify
a valid conclusion So far nothing definite has been presented
to the citizens of this County. Neither have the people had
explained to them in understandable terms the increased
safety to life and the economic advantage that adequate hos-
pital facilities mean to individual families We believe that
a specific proposition with full explanation should be placed
before the people before anyone can draw a conclusion as to
what the people actually want
V—There has been much loose talk regarding the place
of the County and Cornell University in the development of
hospital facilities It is our opinion that to date neither group
has made a sincere effort to work out the problem in conjunc-
tion with the other. While cooperation between the two groups
is not mandatory, it seems foolish to us that there should be
two hospitals in a community of this size and that both groups
should continue to pay more to operate their separate facilities
than they would if the facilities were combined. For example,
each hospital maintains an X-ray Department, a Clinical Lab-
oratory, a Library, a Dietary Department, a Record Room,
and an Operating Room Suite, with all the implied equipment
and personnel. The duplication of both physical space, per-
sonnel and equipment is obvious. Certainly some formula for
the construction and operation of a unit to serve both the
98 June 26, 1950
University and the Community would result in significant
economics for both.
VI—Gathering and interpreting the facts required to
provide the answers to the questions in Section IV requires
an experienced hospital man of the highest caliber. This is
true whether the decision is to build an entirely new plant or
to radically remodel and enlarge the present hospital
VII—Therefore, the Tompkins County Medical Society
recommends that:
A. A Citizen Committee be formed. It should be composed
of not less than five, nor more than nine outstanding
citizens who have had no recent connection with the
Tompkins County Memorial Hospital. They should
have no personal nor business interest to prejudice
them in the analysis of the problem and the exercise
of unbiased Judgment.
1. The Chairman of the Committee and two other
members should be appointed by the Chairman of
the Board of Supervisors and should be individuals
who are mutually acceptable to the Board of Super-
visors, the Board of Managers of the Tompkins
County Memorial Hospital, the Board of Trustees
of the Hospital Corporation and the Tompkins
County Medical Society. The remaining members
of the Committee should be selected by the three
appointed members.
2. In the functioning of such a Citizen -Committee, it
should be agreed that the Board of Supervisors, the
Hospital Board of Managers, the Trustees of the
Hospital Corporation, and the Medical Society will
make readily available to such Committee all per-
tinent information, and give any aid and coun-
sel that the Committee may request
B. The Committee shall obtain detailed factual data upon
which to base recommendations for the solution of the
total health and hospital problems of Tompkins
County. These data should include -
1. Comparative cost analyses by services and depart-
June 26, 1950 99
ments of the present hospital with other hospitals
of similar size and type.
2. Capital and operation cost analyses of any remodel-
ing and/or additions to the present hospital plant.
3. Capital and operating costs of a new hospital on
a new site.
4. Capital and operating costs of one unit combining
all the health facilities of Tompkins County. This
would include the general hospital, chronic dis-
ease hospital, County Health Department and
clinic facilities, County Laboratory and the Cor-
nell University Infirmary and Clinic.
The services of competent and experienced an-
alysts in this field are available to the Board of
Supervisors and the County upon request without
Cost.
C. The Committee on the basis of its studies will make
specific recommendations as to the best method of
solving the present problem both as to capital pro-
jects and methods of administration.
1. The Citizen Committee shall make specific sugges-
tions as to the method and means of financing its
recommendations.
2. The Citizen Committee shall make all of its find-
ings and recommendations readily available to the
people of Tompkins County.
Respectfully subnutted,
C. Stewart Wallace, M.D.
President

336 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
COUNTY PROBATION OFFICER AND
CLERK OF THE CHILDREN'S COURT
TOMPKINS COUNTY, FOR 1950
To the Board of Supervisors :
As has been customary during the last several years, sta-
tistics compiled in the Tompkins County Probation Depart-
ment and Children's Court for 1950 show the usual increase in
business handled by those departments during the last year
A record total of $62,629 25 was collected by the Probation
Officer for support in 1950 This sum is $7,295 25 more than
was collected in 1949 when the total was $55,314.00, and
$11,310 76 more than in 1948 when $51,318.49 was collected
Thus the percentage of increase in support collections during
the last year was higher than the usual yearly increase
During 1950 there were 182 families that received some or
all of their support funds through the Children's Court and
the Probation Department This compares to 173 families in
1949 and 136 in 1948 Of these 182 support orders handled in
1950, men were involved in 175 matters and seven women
were ordered to pay support funds
There was paid over to the County Welfare Department
account for children's support in 1950 the sum of $4,14818
as against $2,833 35 in 1949 This is an increase of $1,314 83
during the year
The total amount of physically handicapped children's
orders for 1950 was reduced 84,676 10 under the record -break -
mg figure for 1949 of $39,590 00 In 1950 a total of 59 orders
were signed by Judge N G Stagg as against 63 in 1949.
The final figure for 1950 was $34,923 90
As reimbursement in some of these crippled children's
cases the Probation Officer collected $1,144 40 in 1950 as
against $1,649 00 in 1949
The Board of Supervisors granted a 1950 appropriation for
the expenses of Children's Court in the sum of $500, above
the salaries of the Judge, Clerk and Typist, the three officials
Tompkins County, New York 337
of the Court. There was spent during the year $438.99, leav-
ing a balance returned to the County of $61.01. The largest
item of expense was a capital one, purchase of a double filing
case for $229.25, to take care of the increasing court cases.
There were 475 formal matters brought to the attention
of the Children's Court in 1950, involving 277 adults and 198
children. In 1949 there were 516 matters in 1949, 303 adults
and 213 children. In 1948 there were 240 adult cases and 127
children Delinquencies in 1950 totaled 49 as against 61 in
1949 , and 78 neglected children in 1950 as against 63 in 1949.
Dispositions in 1950 showed 40 children placed in tempor-
ary custody of the County Welfare Commissioner, 22 boys
and 18 girls, while 13 were placed in private homes other than
their parents' residences. There were 15 children committed,
11 boys and four girls. Thirteen were placed on probation
in 1950, nine boys and four girls. All of these are slight in-
creases over 1949.
There are attached hereto statistical tables showing the de-
tailed work of the Children's Court and the Probation Office.
The County Probation Department started the year, 1950,
with 201 persons on probation There were 163 in Children's
Court, 31 boys, two girls, 126 men and four women. During
the year there were added to this total 9 boys, four girls, 49
men and three women, so that after discharges in 1950 there
are 185 on probation on Dec. 31, 1950. Of this sum there are
36 boys, five girls, 141 men and three women The probationers
from Supreme and County courts totaled 35 to begin the year
and 45 at the end while there were three on probation in
Justices of the Peace courts to start and five to end the year.
On Jan. 1, 1951 there were 235 on probation, an increase of 34
Probationers. Expenses of the probation department exclusive
of one officer's salary totaled only $152 39 of a $250 appropria-
tion, $97.61 being returned to the County.
As in past years it is the recommendation of the Probation
Officer that an assistant be added to the department to aid
in the collection of support funds which is increasing with
every month It has been shown in other counties that such
an assistant adds greatly to collection efficiency.

REPORT OF THE COUNTY HISTORIAN FOR 1950
To the Board of Supervisors
The year 1950 although significant as a half -century mile-
stone had no unusual importance as to historical matters
within our county The exception here mentioned, being the
outbreak in June of communist inspired warfare in Korea,
against which the United States immediately took action, and
in which as the year 1950 passed, found many Tompkins
County men engaged in that struggle, several of whom were
reported as killed or missing, and many reported wounded
During the year, the County Historian has been busy set-
ting down in writing facts worthy of preservation, and an-
swering questions on historical matters A large number of
personal interviews have been given and about thirty-five let-
ters have been answered in reply to inquiries for geneological
and county history information.
Early in the year I received a large supply of mimeographed
sheets listing all the official State Education historical markers
throughout the county. The list was revised and prepared by
the State Historian, who had invited my cooperation. The
sheets containing this historical data were distributed by me
to the District School Superintendents to be used for social
studies
During 1950 the County Historian gave six lectures on
local and regional history, which were sponsored by various
organizations.
The County Historian purchased through his appropriation
of $250.00, two books : Butlers Rangers in New York, $2 25,
and Spafford's 1824 Gazeteer of New York $6 00; 500 letter-
heads and envelopes $15.00. For work completed on my book-
let the Origin of Place Names in Tompkins County $225.00.
At the annual meeting of the DeWitt Historical Society of
Tompkins County, I was honored by being elected to the
presidency of that active and growing organization, which
has as its most important aim, the preservation of objects of
local historical interest, such as : publications, maps, costumes,
Tompkins County, New York 353
paintings, photographs and anything which will enrich and
preserve the history and lore of our county.
In behalf of the Society, may I say that we are grateful
to the Board of Supervisors for providing appropriate quar-
ters for these things, and for the continued good interest in
promoting this cultural aspect of Tompkins County life.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF WELFARE
FOR 1950
To the, Honorable Board of Supervisors •
Court House
In submitting the annual financial statement for the year
1950 the following comments have reference to some impor-
tant changes during the year :
On July lst, a new insurance program became effective
known as "Workmen's Compensation Disability for Occupa-
tional and Non -occupational Injury and Disease." Briefly, this
means that a number of people became eligible for disability
benefits, including non -occupational injury and sickness. The
Welfare Department checks with the Workmen's Compensa-
tion Board to determine initial or continuing eligibility for
people making application for public assistance.
As a result of the 1950 amendments to the Social Security
Law a new Federal category in public assistance became
effective October lst known as "Aid to the Disabled," which
means that the Welfare Department now has four Federal
categories known as Old Age Assistance, Aid to the Blind,
Aid to Dependent Children and Aid to the Disabled.
Most of these cases were transferred from the Home Relief
and Aid to Dependent Children -categories.
The State Department advises that the change will mean
about seven million dollars of Federal money coming into the
State for welfare purposes that previously was not avail-
able Tompkins County will benefit by reimbursement for
medical, surgical and hospital expenses not allowed on Home
Relief cases Installation of these changes in the Welfare De-
partment meant a great deal of clerical work in both the Social
Service and Accounting Departments.
As of October lst, substantial increases were granted by
the Federal Government in the Old Age and Survivors Insur-
ance Program which meant that in a few cases sufficient re-
sources became available to recipients of Old Age Assistance
which permitted the closing of their cases. The amount of
Tompkins County, New York 383
supplementary grants given to a number of Old Age Assis-
tance cases was reduced by the, amount received by clients
from this source.
Except for the cost of extensive alterations and improve-
ments made at the County Home the Department for the first
time in years was able to keep the expenditures within the
amount appropriated at the beginning of the year. This was a
source of great satisfaction to the Commissioner and his Staff
and was accomplished largely because of an unforeseen up-
ward trend in the economic conditions which started early
in the year with employment reaching a high level. As a result,
the individual number of persons cared for as of December
1950 compared with December 1949 was reduced by 116 per-
sons
The number of applications for Old Age Assistance showed
a gradual increase during the year and at the end of Decem-
ber there were 526 recipients as compared with 507 at the be-
ginning.
It is anticipated that the trend will continue upward for
several reasons The cost of living has reached an all-time
high Many people who saved for their retirement have ex-
hausted their resources. Some industries in normal times de-
clined to employ people after reaching the age of 65 and some
required their employees to retire at that age In many cases
Social Security Insurance is insufficient to meet everyday
living costs Due to present day living standards, more and
better medical services, the life span has been considerably
lengthened.
The 1950 Census Bureau reported that between 1940 and
1950 the number of persons over 65 increased 37 percent.
During the same period the number of children under 10 years
of age increased 40 percent The population in Tompkins
County, exclusive of students, increased about 10,000 persons
during that period. These statistics have a direct bearing upon
welfare services and cost.
Food budgets in the County were reduced in 1949 and not
increased during 1950, although there were sharp increases in
food prices during the months of November and December
The higher costs of living just about offset the gains made
384 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
by higher employment and insurance benefits mentioned

To the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors :
Dear Sir :
I have the honor to transmit to you the report of selected
activities of the Tompkins County Health Department for the
fiscal year 1950
Cordially yours,
NORMAN S. MOORE, M.D
Chairman, Tompkins County
Board of Health
REPORT OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT FOR 1950
To the Board of Supervisors :
The mission of the Health Department is to prevent disease
and death and to promote physical and mental health in the
community. Operating within the framework of the Public
Health Law and the Sanitary Code regulations established by
state and local authorities, department personnel make every
effort to gain voluntary compliance. A measure of success is
indicated in the fact that since its organization on July 1, 1947,
unusually high health standards have been maintained and
improved without a single instance requiring legal or punitive
action.
To accomplish its mission, the department budget may be
considered in three parts.
Communicable Disease: The prevention of communicable
diseases, including tuberculosis and venereal disease requires
over 40% of the time of the staff. The sanitary supervision of
milk and water supplies, and other matters of environmental
sanitation rank high in the regular disease prevention activi-
ties of the department. Some of the services of this nature are
itemized in Table I. Note is taken of the fact that there has
been an overall quantitative increase of well over 100% in these
activities since the organization of the department. This has
been especially noticeable in the rural areas of the county
where such services previously were minimal. Although
changes in quality do not lend themselves to similar statistical
analysis, striking improvements have been evident.
396 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
Approximately 9% of the Home Visits made by the Division
of Public Health Nursing are related to the prevention of
these diseases. Table II summarizes this phase of the Depart-
ment's activities.
Through the cooperation of private physicians, the essential
information relating to the occurrence of these diseases, and
the immunizations and other steps taken to prevent them, are
collected and analyzed Tables III and IV illustrate the level
of protection which is enjoyed by the community as the result
of the coordinated efforts of public and private agencies, the
medical profession and the citizens themselves.
Maternal Infant and Child Health: With Tompkins County
continuing to maintain one of the highest birth rates in upstate
New York, approximately one-third of the work of the depart-
ment is devoted to improving the health of expectant mothers
and children Public Health nurses work closely with private
physicians in demonstrating proper health practices to pros-
pective and new mothers in home visits Infants and pre-school
children who would not otherwise receive medical health super-
vision services are eligible to attend child health conferences
These are conducted by physicians with the assistance of pub-
lic health nurses in various sections of the county. These con-
ferences provide regular health examinations and immuniza-
tions for the children, assistance to the mothers in understand-
ing the emotional needs and the physical and mental develop-
ment of the normal child, and advice on care and feeding of
children It is estimated that less than 5% of the infants born
to Tompkins County residents fail to receive such services pri-
vately or from the Department. A large part of the time of a
public health nutritionist, available without expense to the
county through the School of Nutrition of Cornell University,
is spent in advising and consulting with the staff in this area
of departmental activities. A dental hygienist is available to
examine and clean teeth and to apply sodium fluoride to the
teeth of preschool children for the prevention of tooth decay
She refers possible dental defects to a private dentist. The de-
partment was instrumental in demonstrating the feasibility of
applying sodium fluoride to the teeth of school children
throughout the county leading to the establishment of a dental
hygiene program in the rural schools of the county. Table V
illustrates the activities in this field and Table VI pictures the
status of the community problems related thereto.
Tompkins County, New York 397
Other Activities . Somewhat under one-third of staff time is
allocated for such other important activities as the collection
and analysis of information related to births, deaths, and the
occurrence of certain non -communicable diseases ; the general
improvement of health in adults , prevention, control, and re-
habilitation measures related to cancer, heart disease, diabetes,
accidents, arthritis, and remedial physical defects of children,
investigation of nuisances , general community activities of
disease preventive and health promotional nature such as news
items, radio talks, use of films, committee work, special classes
and talks to community groups Such, of these activities as
lend themselves to quantitative reporting are itemized in Table
VII Table VIII shows the status of the problems confronting
the community in some of these fields
Conclusion In behalf of the staff, I wish to express appreci-
ation to the Board of Supeivisors for their continued support,
which has made possible the activities and results herein
stated The budget appropriation for 1951 provides for the
continuation of these efforts toward better health for all resi-
dents of Tompkins County

ANNUAL REPORT OF TOMPKINS COUNTY MEMORIAL
HOSPITAL FOR THE YEAR 1950 •
To the Board of Supervisors
Gentlemen :
It is a privilege to report on the service of Tompkins
County Memorial Hospital for the year 1950, and I welcome
the opportunity to tell of the indispensable service rendered
by the hospital to the County.
What Are We
Primarily, we are a general hospital, equipped and staffed
to handle obstetrical, pediatric, surgical and medical cases of
every kind. Secondly, we are an emergency hospital for acci-
dents and all cases requiring immediate attention.
How Many Do We Serve
The use of the hospital in the past year has exceeded all
previous records.
There were :
5068 patients admitted
4000 people who used the accident and operating rooms
and the X-ray department as out-patients
1230 babies were born
This means that approximately one person in every seven in
the County used the hospital facilities in the past year.
It may be of interest to review the following statistics :
Increase
1940 194-5 1950 Over 1940
Admissions 3,890 4,528 6,298 61
Bed Capacity 149 173 172 15
Patient Days 36,476 43,367 49,925 36 8%
Tompkins County, New York 403
There were more patients admitted, more operations per-
formed, more x-ray examinations made than ever before. All
these achievements show the increasing importance of the hos-
pital to the county that it serves.
Patient Stay Is Shorter
The use of penicillin, streptomycin, aureomycin, ACTH,
cortisone, dicumerol and other "miracle drugs," plus early
ambulation following surgery, resulted in a greater number
of patients returning home sooner.
The average stay for each patient during the year reached
an all time low of just under 71/2 days Five years ago the
average stay was 91/2 days. If the average stay had been 91/2
days this past year, almost 61,000 days of care would have
been rendered a figure which is far beyond the hospital's
present capacity. In actuality an average stay of 91/2 days
would have simply reduced the number of patients admitted
by 26%.
It is commonly assumed that the normal occupancy rate is
80% for general hospitals. It has been found that this figure
of 80% should not be exceeded in order that a sufficient num-
ber of beds may be available to meet emergencies and day to
day variations in demands for care.
The saturation point has been reached on several of our
wards For example the average daily occupancy on the men's
ward was 92% and in the women's surgical ward 90%. Since
this is a dangerously high occupancy rate, additional service
cannot be provided without more patient space and supporting
auxiliary facilities.
Medical Staff
It is a truism that a hospital is as good as its medical staff
wants it to be and our doctors are constantly striving to pro-
vide patients with the best medical care.
Our doctors measure up to the highest standards of the
American College of Surgeons and the American Medical As-
sociation.
In addition to a competent staff of general practitioners,
there are specialists representing all the major specialized
404 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
fields of medicine including anesthesiology, dermatology, in-
ternal medicine, obsetetrics and gynecology, opthalmology,
orthopedic surgery, otolaryngology, patholgy, pediatrics, psy-
chiatry, radiology, surgery, and urology.
The active, honorary, and courtesy medical staff consists of
49 doctors who practice in Ithaca, and 19 doctors who practice
in the surrounding towns.
Educational Programs
Members of our staff have given many, many, teaching
hours for the education of resident physicians and nurses The
clinical conferences of the staff provide for self education and
a high percentage of doctors annually attend meetings of their
own specialty group, as well as those of the American Medical
Association and other types of a post graduate nature.
Staff members have given liberally of their time in speaking
on medical subjects of community interest at group meetings
and on a weekly radio program.
Emergency Service
In addition to serving their own patients, members of the
medical staff served the residents of the county by furnishing
the Emergency Call System under the auspices of the Tomp-
kins County Medical Society. This assures medical care for
anyone who is in need of a doctor at night or on week ends
but is unable to reach his family physician.
Staff members take turns being on call for the Emergency
Room Even so, in the past year 683 patients who came to the
hospital for treatment requested the hospital to contact the
doctor on call for them inasmuch as they had no doctor of
choice.
Resident Program
During the year there were two resident physicians on duty
in internal medicine and one resident in obstetrics and gyne-
cology. Two surgical residents were on duty for the first six
months.
Resident physicians provide continuous coverage for pa-
tients on the service to which they are assigned. In addition
Tompkins County, New York 405
they are a constant stimulus to good work on the part of
the staff.
Report of Departmental Services
Whether it is a newborn infant, a child, or an adult, all
hospital services are focused on the patient. That each depart-
ment could function most effectively in contributing to patient
care, regular weekly conferences of department heads were
held, and all concerned contributed to the better functioning
of the hospital.
The record number of patients under care in 1950 created
heavy demands on the personnel in the various departments.
Nursing Service
A nurse's worth cannot be reckoned by her commercial
earning power because there is no price tag on the alleviation
of human suffering. We doubt that anyone, even the nurses
themselves, can fully realize the importance of their work.
In the several nursing units, surgery, delivery rooms, emer-
gency room, and in central supply there are approximately
85 graduate nurses. These women are occupied with nursing
care, supervisory work and teaching. All of them are regis-
tered nurses and have completed courses of training in ap-
proved schools.
The practice of medicine is ever changing and new treat-
ments are continually being used, therefore educational op-
portunities for nurses were provided as follows:
Within The Hospital
Meetings with members of the medical staff who present-
ed material and demonstrations on new trends in medi-
cine and treatments.
Meetings with representatives of other departments to
discuss problems and changes in procedure.
Away from The Hospital
Attendance at special meetings and institutes.
Instruction in nursing aspects of Atomic Warfare .
406 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
Nursing salaries are the largest single item of cost in any
hospital. This is particularly true in our case because we must
have liberal personnel policies to attract nurses to the city.
There are three other institutions, numerous doctors and den-
tists offices, and industry, competing for the nurses who do
come into the community. We have an inefficient physical
layout of plant requiring more nurses than would be needed
if the hospital physically had kept pace with modern hospital
practice. Another factor to be reckoned with is the lack of a
school of nursing to provide a continuing number of trained
people to meet the community needs for nurses.
To relieve the shortage of registered nurses and to effect
monetary savings, non-professional personnel are used where -
ever possible within the limits of safe patient care. The aver-
age number of employees in the Nursing Department in-
cluded :
1949 1950
Registered Nurses 92 85
Practical Nurses 11 22
Nurses Aides 23 21
Orderlies 11 10
Practical Nurse School
In 1950, after completing their pre -clinical course at the
Ithaca High School, 17 students were sent to the hospital for
their clinical experience compared to 13 in 1949. The practical
nurse is becoming an important member of the nursing team
Working under the direction of the doctor and the super-
vision of the professional nurse she gives care to the con-
valescent and chronically ill patient. Too, working as an assis-
tant to the professional nurse, she gives care to the acutely
ill patient. The practical nurse students have made a splendid
contribution to the total nursing service.
The number of students graduating each year is not ade-
quate to meet the needs of this community and every effort
should be made, by the community as well as by the hospital,
and Board of Education, to encourage more young women to
enter the Ithaca School of Practical Nursing.
Dietary Care
Most people take a great deal for granted in observing that
hospital patients are fed on schedule but an examination of
Tompkins County, New York 407
the procedure which results in a seemingly casual distribution
of food shows it to be a well defined science within itself
which produces its own peculiar problems.
During 1950 an average staff of 41 people prepared and
served 128,000 meals to patients while in the cafeteria 72,000
meals were sold to hospital personnel In addition to this,
there were 169,000 "in between meal" nourishments prepared
and served to patients by this department.
The special diet unit prepared between 30 and 40 diets for
each meal. These must be carefully prepared just as the
pharmacist prepares a prescription ordered by the doctor
The dietitian is beset with the same problems as the house-
wife in these days of rising costs. Although these problems are
magnified many times in the hospital, the Dietary Depart-
ment makes every effort to serve attractive, wholesome meals
within the limits of the budget. In 1950, $71,216 was spent
for food alone while the expenditure for 1949 was $70,866.
Surgery
The Operating Room facilities have been hard pressed at
times due to the increase in patients needing surgical atten-
tion. There were 2765 operations performed—an increase of
315 operations over the record year of 1949.
Not only have the number of operations increased but there
is a marked increase in the number of the more difficult type
of major operations. This indicates, unquestionably, that more
people in the community are looking to their local surgeons
and hospital to meet their surgical needs.
There were 2260 anesthesias given in the Operating Room
during the year. Modern anesthesia plays an increasingly im-
portant role in surgery today because both specialties work
together toward more rapid recovery of the patient from
surgery. Mayor surgery requires the administration of special
types of anesthesia and technique by doctors who specialize
in this work. Many different types of anesthesia are used
depending upon the patient's condition and the nature of the
surgery contemplated.
The operating room facilities were further expanded this
408 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
year by the purchase of endoscopic instruments and equip-
ment. This equipment will make it possible to examine the
interior of the lungs and also provide instruments for re-
moval of foreign bodies which may be inhaled.
Emergency Room
The number of patients receiving treatment in the emer-
gency room over the past several years has shown a marked
increase This trend is bound to continue because more and
more people turn to a hospital in times of emergency and
there is an apparent increase in the number of automobile
accidents. This trend can be seen in the following statistics :
1940 1945 1950
Patients treated in Emergency Room 326 370 1689
Another significant figure is the number of emergency pa-
tients who were treated and admitted to the hospital. In 1949
there were 402 and in 1950 the figure was 619. At times when
more than one person is admitted to the emergency room,
doctors, nurses, and patients are made painfully aware of the
need of more modern and adequate emergency facilities.
Obstetrics
The Maternity Department had the second heaviest year
in the history of the hospital with 1230 babies born As a
result of modern techniques in infant care and the purchase
of new equipment, the hospital's performance in this depart-
ment is noteworthy.
The remodeling of the nurseries to comply with regulations
of the New York State Health Department, while improving
the care of the infant, has reduced the number of beds avail-
able to mothers. Overcrowding during the periods of high
census has created additional problems for personnel, doc-
tors, and patients.
X -Ray
One of the most important diagnostic and therapeutic
facilities of the hospital is the X-ray department. This depart-
ment is equipped to handle all types of routine examinations
as well as most types of special examinations.
Tompkins County, New York 409
During the working day, routine and emergency examina-
tions are carried out by the x-ray technicians under the direc-
tion of the Radiologist who also administers deep x-ray and
radium treatments. The radiologist is also trained in the use
of radioactive isotopes. After 5 p.m. a technician is on call for
emergencies, as is the radiologist, should his specialized train-
ing and skills be required.
The department cooperates with the resident teaching pro-
gram and the radiologist is available at all times for consulta-
tion concerning specific problems This close cooperation with
the medical staff frequently makes possible diagnoses which
would be difficult or even impossible by any other means
The trained personnel in this department do all types of
x-ray diagnosis and treatment with the exception of super-
ficial x-ray therapy A machine designed for this type of work
cannot be installed until further floor space becomes available.
There is a significant increase in the numbers of patients
treated in the x-ray department over the last ten years.
1940 19,45 1950
Number of Patients 894 1340 4670
Of those treated during the past year, 2349 were out-patients
and were not admitted to the hospital.
Pharmacy
The pharmacy is the most extensively used of the thera-
peutic facilities of the hospital. Directly or indirectly each
patient receives daily pharmaceutical service. During the past
several years the pharmacy experienced its greatest develop-
ment through the epochal advances in chemo -therapy. In 1950
the hospital spent $34,737 for drugs. Over $10,000.00 was spent
for new antibiotic drugs such as aureomycin, chloromycetin,
and terramycin. In addition nearly $9,000 00 worth of peni-
cillin preparations were purchased. During the year new re-
leases of products of the adrenal gland such as cortisone and
ACTH were also added to the list of life saving drugs. Ten
years ago in 1940, the hospital spent $8,636 for drugs
The pharmacy department instituted several changes in
procedure Narcotics, formerly dispensed in tablet form, for
hypodermic use, have been replaced by sterile solutions which
410 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
are manufactured in the pharmacy and are ready for instant
use. This saves valuable nursing time and reduces the cost of
narcotics. More rigid- controls on the recording and use of
narcotics were instituted and new storage facilities for nar-
cotics were placed at each nursing unit.
Manufacturing of products used in the hospital was expand-
ed during the year which resulted in a monetary savings. The
pharmacy filled over 500 special prescriptions for patients as
well as over 12,000 special floor orders.
An inventory of $8154 was required to maintain the active
beds in the hospital during 1950 compared with $3550 ten
years ago.
Physical Medicine
Physical therapy is used as an adjunct to medical care It
involves the use of heat, fight, water and other elements that
have proved helpful in many cases to shorten convalescence
and restore health.
The acquisition of a new whirlpool bath, diathermy machine,
and infra -red lamps has made it possible for hospital patients
to receive 584 treatments compared to 41 in 1949.
This department is run in conjunction with the Department
of Physio -Therapy at Ithaca College. The technicians are ad-
vanced students in physio -therapy and work under the super-
vision of the director of the school.
Housekeeping - Laundry - Maintenance
The rapid turnover of patients has increased the work of
each of these departments.
The Housekeeping department, with the assistance of the
Young Women's Hospital Aid and other volunteer groups has
continued to make a number of hospital garments thus reduc-
ing the cost of purchased linens.
The laundry has accomplished a fine record in supplying
clean linen to patients. Approximately 2/3 of a ton of linen is
laundered daily. This volume was made possible by the in-
stallation of new equipment in 1948 and 1949.
Tompkins County, New York 411
The maintenance department completed over 3000 work or-
ders for daily maintenance. In addition, personnel in this de-
partment installed new sterilizing equipment, bed pan washers
and sterilizers, a dish washing machine, tables, lavatories and
utility sinks Several cabinets were built in the carpenter shop
for the nursing units A large storage room was constructed
off the main kitchen which, with the removal of a partition,
enlarged the work area of the main kitchen and made for more
efficient use of these facilities Although the painting of the
hospital buildings is a continuing program, this year the
nurses home was completely redecorated
Medical Record
The year 1950 was an exceedingly busy one for the Medical
Records Department In addition to the routine work, new pro-
cedures were undertaken as well The major undertaking was
the microfilming of the almost 50,000 medical case histories
stored in two rooms in the attic. These were brought to the
basement and painstakingly sorted and checked in the early
part of the year In May, on hospital day, a small part of the
undertaking was demonstrated to the Tompkins County pub-
lic On June 1st the actual work of the filming started and
from then until early in December 1950, more than 1,000,000
sheets were sorted, classified, and finally filmed as part of the
permanent archives of the Tompkins County Memorial Hos-
pital medical records.
At the end of the year the new system of classification of
operations and diseases, a Standard Nomenclature of Diseases
—with the new visible files, was instituted and has already ef-
fected a large saving in time in the posting of case histories.
Hospital Costs
Hospital costs are spiraling because the economic problems
facing hospitals are the same ones that face every individual
Increased cost of supplies and equipment as well as increased
cost of salaries and wages are obvious Other costs which are
not so apparent include:
1. More complex and varied diagnostic and treatment pro-
cedures.
2. Another little-known factor in todays' higher hospital
costs is the shorter stay of most patients. In many cases, this
412 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
effects a saving in total cost to the patient due to the fewer
number of days On the other hand, the hospital costs are
greater, since the first few days of any patient's stay in a
hospital is the most expensive period More labor, more drugs,
and services of all kinds are expended during that period.
Although it is true that with the aid of new drugs, the less
acute cases are being treated at home, in general, people hos-
pitalized today are really sick and thus need more intensive
care.
3 Another reason for higher costs is the fact that the hospi-
tal operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Complete service
must be provided 168 hours a week rather than the 40 hours
in most industries A full staff of professionally trained people
must be on hand at all times Equipment that is not used all
the time still must be available should it be needed. A hospital
is like a fire department, it isn't worth anything at all unless
you need it.

Tompkins County, New York 413
Established Rates
Charges to patients have not been increased since Novem-
ber 1946 As a result hospital income has not kept pace with
the rapidly spiralling costs. The weighted patient day income
was $13 80 in 1950, while the expense per patient day was
$17 22 This means that hospital charges to patients have been
below cost In order to correct this, and to bring our rates in
line with other hospitals, it is proposed to advance the charges
for ward, semi -private and private room accommodations in
1951 It is expected that this will reduce the operating deficit
somewhat
Volunteer Personnel
In 1950 1256 man-hours of volunteer help was rendered the
hospital These volunteers were college students and citizens
of the community. The importance of the work of the volun-
teers cannot be over -emphasized. They worked on the medical
and surgical wards, childrens' ward, and in the central supply
department.
Auxiliaries
The Board of Trustees of the Hospital Corporation, while
having no operational responsibilities, is actively functioning
in its present capacity as a laision between the hospital and
the members of the community..
It maintains and manages the hospital Endowment Fund
and turns over to the hospital the income therefrom, either
in the form of funds to assist in the payment of hospital bills
for worthy individuals or as a contribution to the County's
share of the hospital deficit During 1950 the principal of the
Endowment Fund increased by $24,257, due to new bequests
and gifts received.
The Trustees are the recipients of the funds designated for
hospital equipment by the Community Chest and Young Wo -
mens Hosiptal Aid These funds in turn, are transferred to
the County Treasurer by the Trustees.
The Board of Trustees stand ready to assist the Board of
Managers and the Board of Supervisors in any manner which
may be requested. They have already indicated a desire to
participate in financing a better public relations program, in-
414 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors
eluding the employment of specialized personnel if deemed
desirable.
During the year the Young Women's Hospital Aid has Lived
up to its avowed purpose: `.`To assist in the purchase of equip-
ment and to provide for the well being of the patients " Funds
were provided for the purchase of equipment for the kitchen,
thousands of dressings were made by members of this group,
and valuable assistance was given toward making Hospital
Day a success The library service for patients continues to
be a service which is enjoyed by patients
The Parents Committee of the Childrens' Ward made pos-
sible the services of a part-time Recreational Director to head
the Volunteer Program for the children Members of the Par-
ents Committee have given many hours of their time enter-
taining our young patients This includes reading stories,
playing records, distributing toys, and supervising games.
The purpose of this organization is to promote the welfare
of hospitalized patients. Outside the hospital, members spend
much time collecting and repairing play material and at
present are preparing a pamphlet for distribution which will
show parents how to minimize the shock which hospitaliza-
tion frequently presents for children
Through the efforts of thus group there is much greater
appreciation of the hospitals service and its problems, as well
as improved understanding on the part of the hospital staff
of the total needs of the sick child.
The Women's Auxiliary of the Tompkins County Medical
Society have been of assistance to the hospital in furnishing
and serving refreshments for the graduating classes of the
School of Practical Nurses, and on various other occasions
during the year.
It is increasingly apparent that the operation of a com-
munity hospital is a cooperative project and the hospital as
well as the citizens of the community are inter -dependent
upon each other for the best service any hospital can give.
Conclusion
It is not possible to tell the story of Tompkins County Me-
Tompkins County, New York 415
mortal Hospital through mere statistics and financial state-
ments, for patients care cannot be measured in cold facts and
figures And yet, the conclusion is inescapable, for the evidence
is abundant that the hospital is making progress—significant,
steady progress—and ever improving its service to the patient.
The administration of the hospital takes justifiable pride in
the steps that have been made and has unwavering confidence
in the inevitable progress that the future will bring.
The cooperation of the Board of Supervisors, Board of Man-
agers, Board of Trustees, Young Women's Hospital Aid, The
Parents Committee, Volunteers, Medical Staff, and the entire
hospital personnel is most helpful.
The interest shown by the press and local radio station,
Community Chest, Junior Red Cross and our many friends is
appreciated with sincere thanks.
With continued understanding and cooperation in meeting
every day problems in the operation of the hospital, more
humane service will be possible for those who come to us in
time of illness.
