Put IN A BRICK YARD.
supt. Mcdonald Has a New Scheme
to Keep Workhouse Pris-
oners Busy.
There's Good Clay Available and
a Brick Plant Would Be
Inexpensive.

Superintendent Frank r. Mcdonald
of the workhouse will endeavor in the
coming year to make that institution
self-sustaining and declares that with
support from the board of charities
and corrections he will succeed. The
stone quarry is profitable enterprise,
in a way, but it's principal purpose is
to make the prisoners work.
superintendent Mcdonald says that
they can be more advantageously en-
ployed in making brick. On the work.
house grounds there is an extensive
clay bank Of fine and uniform quality,
which would furnish material for
brick for many years to come. lie
estimates that fully equipped brick
plant could be installed for So, 600,
and that the expense of operating 1t
would be practically nothing. Ill., b. >.
The brick plant would not compete
| with free labor any more than the
workhouse quarry completes with
other quarries. The owners of brick
yards could have no objection to sucf
a municipal plant, says Mr.. Mcdonald
for they have not been able for year:
to supply the local demand for brick
The city is obliged to go to Chaska

Workhouse yard would not be cOnsid

Mr.. MCDONALD is enthusiastic owe
his plan and is urging the members o
the board to make the necessary ap
preparation for installing the plant.
