Resolution by the Committee of the
Whole
Whereas. 1t has come to the knowl-
edge of the City Council of Savannah
that the Mill Haven Company has
leased a large number of state convicts
and proposes employing them at it's
mill on the boundary of this city;
and,
Whereas. The use of such convicts Is
inimical to the best interests OF the
people of this community; therefore.
be it
Resolved, by the Mayor and Alder
men of the city of Savannah, in Coun-
ell assembled, That protest be and
it is hereby made against the leasing
and using of such convict labor with
in two miles of the jurisdictional linz
its of this city. The use of such con-
Wet labor displaces free and better
compensated laborers. who are citizens
and residents of Savannah, and who
spend their money here. The use of
convicts is of little or no value to the
business interests Of the city, and is
an opening whereby other manufacture
ing establishments may be encouraged
to similar steps, to the detriment OF
honest labor and the community at
large. In addition there, is a well de-
fined fear that on the expiration OF
- vsok. .-.4fT
make Savannah their abiding place,
throwing lot of desperate criminals
on the community.
Resolved, further, That the Senator
from this district and the Representa-
tives from this county in the General
Assembly are respectfully and urgent
ly requested to introduce, advocate and
press to passage such legislation as
may be necessary in the premises to
prevent the employment of such con-
vict labor within at least two miles of
the jurisdictional limits of any city or
town in Georgia unless the consent of
the municipal authorities OF said city
or town be first obtained.
Adopted.
