The long-talked-of plan to work the
county prisoners on the roads, or at the
county farm, came up for discuss on in
the board of county commissioners yester-
day, with the result that resolution was
passed favoring the Inauguration OF a
chain gang system. No details OF the plan
have yet been arranged.
MANY resolves to work the tramps who
crowd the county Jail during the winter
months have been made by county COM
missioners in the past, but have all como
