A Scheme for Good Roads.

There is growing popular
demand for improved roads
demand which fully justified upon
economic and social grounds.
Therefore | desire to recommend IL
measure by which tramps and vaga-
bonds, as defined by statute, may.
upon conviction, be sentenced in
the different counties-at the dis
cretlon of the court or justice of
the peace having iurisdiction-to
labor upon the public roads or viii
lage and town districts, under the
direction of the county commits
sioners and while in the custody of
of the sheriffs of the counties.
Such law would relieve the coun-
ties from the expense involved in
conveying convicted tramps to the
house of correction which is now
incurred, while the cost of the
additional force of deputy sheriffs
requisite for guarding the convicts
when at work and in the county
jails would be more than covered by
the value of the improved roads and
the lessening of the road tax, Pro
vision may also be made that those
tramps and vagrants who are sent
to the house of correction from Bal
tlmore city should be turned over
for the time of their sentence by
the board of managers to the com
missioners Of such counties as make
applications for their labor. -Goy-
