report Of the committee, accompanied
by the opinion, was submitted TO the

this:
In the act authorizing the lease there Is
no direct nor indirect aliusion to the Civ
ing TO the lessees Of the power to sublet.
II such power exists iteKists as an unlimit.
ed power, which would probably not be q
safe admission. IL Is safe, however, to In.
fer, in the absence Of such expressed au.
thority, that the Legislature did not intend
TO confer such power The opinion Is that
the lessees, without express authority ol
the general assembly, may not subiet the
convicts.
Mr.. johnson at once introduced a reso
luton instructing the state board oi
prison inspectors to order all convicts now
sublet 70 be returned TO the main prison
or to prisons owned by the lessees them

the resolution would be adopted
1t was matter OF record that the Ten

had sublet its eonvicts. Mr.. Ledgerwood
spoke against tho resolution, saying that
he did not know, and the house did moi
