Year After ALL

fact that the year 1903 has not been
good building year in Charlton, the
amount of money paid to contractors
and mechanics has been good. never
theless.
Not counting the $4,000 or more
spent for paving this year. the i'm
provements in Charlton have cost up
wards of 100000. which makes total
of about s250,oOO spent in improving
our town this year. Which isn't a bad
record, by any means.

and the building of the $4,000 county
house and the completion of the Car
negie library will give good start TO
the work In 1904.

The ordinance to close the barber
shops on Sundays will meet final ac-
ton at the adjourned meeting of the
council this evening. The ordinance
was entered at the last meeting in
response to a petition by the boss bar
bers of the city, a petition that con-
tanned the names of all but two of the
losses.
At the last meeting the ordinance
was referred to the committee on ordi-
nances and it is understood that fav-
orable report on the ordinance will be
given tonight. If this proves to be the
case it is more than likely that the
council will take favorable action and
the ordinance will be passed. :.
The other Bowman ordinance, to
prevent the dumping of sewerage in
to the lakes, will also come up and
may be passed. Aid. Bowman is anx-
ious that the ordinance be passed as
soon as possible. The ordinance is
aimed against private sewers.
other business before the council
will be the opening of bids for street
work, including the matchmaking of

but was continued under agreement
until the next contracts should have
been let. Under this old contract the
state receives so cents a day for the
labor Of each convict, each working
10 hours a day. The income to tho
state from the labor of the convicts
at the state prison and the state re-
formatory aggregates some $4,000
year but il is understood that con
tracts can and will be made when the
new bids are opened in July accord
ing to which the income will be large
ly increased.
Governor La Toilette recommended
two years ago that the labor in the
states prisons, particularly the labor
OF the younger convicts in the reform
atory. be more diversified. his reason
was that these young inmates are
usually incarcertated for only a short
time and the state ought to teach
them useful employment of varied ma
ture, so that when they should have
served out their terms of imprison-
ment they would be able to become
useful members of society. He urged
this from reason of right and justice
to the offenders who were sentenced
TO prison, and for the reason that
such a policy would be wise economic
ally for the STATE.
The state board of control took the
recommendation and made an extern
sive study of the problem. The mem
bers took several trips of investiga
ton OF other state prisons and re
formatories, going to most OF the
middle western states and visiting
several prisons in the east. 1t was
determined TO incorporate many OF
the ideas employed elsewhere into
the Wisconsin system. Among the in
dustries expected to be used In the
Wisconsin prisons are brick making
weaving of grass mats and straw
goods. shoemaking and others.
