EXPERIENCE APPIovEs.-The Board of
Health speak highly of the sanitary improve
ments being effected through the work being
done by the chain-gang, in cleaning up alleys
cutters and impure places where no appro-
priation is provided by the city to do the
work. While the effect of this labor upon
the prisoners is, as it was intended to be, hu-
y J -,
them, it is, at the same time, not only better
for them, in health view. than continuous
confinement, but is working like an active
panacea for clearing the town of Migrants and
petty offenders, and thus the true purpose for
all punishment to prevent crime, rather than
punishment for it, is made successful in a
marked degree The lessening of prisoners
in the County Jail. maintained at city ex-
pense, which afforded the first noticeable re-
suits OF the new system, has now come to
have corresponding effect in lessening the
number confined in the County Jail, serving
out sentences for n isdeineauors and minor
otfenses, and Is rapidly adding vacant chairs
at Jailer Newbert's dining-table. People out
side the ely also report that the number of
barn-sleepers near the city has greatly de-
creased and express relief at the change.
Still Commissioner Davis states that he is
going to Immediately apply the prison force
to giving a thorough cleanup and dressing of
all the city school grounds, and continue at
other localities where their work can be of
most benefit, so long as a gang Is provided for
such employment.
