under sentence for life, shall be sub.
jict to hire by tho respective counties
OF this State for service in the con-
StructiOn and the maintenance Of the

dtcted on the fact that the number OF

too small to be economically guarded,
maintained and operated, and on the

for road purposes is inefficient, un.
satisfactory and far more expensive
than the cost OF the operation of'the
