Senator Cunninghams convict bin was
reported favorably by the committee
with one amendment. The amendment
provides for fine and forfeiture fund
of the various. counties of the state, by
appfopriating 25 per cent. of the net
earnings of the penitentiary fors distr-
button in proportion to the number Of
convicts sentenced from the respective
counties. If 25 per cent. of the net earn
ings does not amount to $685. 900 annually
then the sum. of $25, 900 Is appropriated
out of the convict fund for that purpose.
DIR. Cunningham said:
In the preparation of the bill failed
to make provision for the fine and for
feiturei fund of the counties. This Is an
oversight which, the amendment is in

ings of the convicts sentenced to hard
labor for the counties. l have no doubt
that 1t equals or is perhaps in excess of
