CHAIN GANG TO
WORK ON STREETS
District Attorney Eddy Has Plan for
Using Prisoners In County
Jail

Believing that the condition of the
streets of Ely can be improved at a
low cost by compelling the prisoners
serving sentences in the county Jail
to work upon them, District Attor-
ney c. A. Eddy has outlined plan
which is apparently meeting with en-
dorsement of a large number of bus
mess men in town
The streets of Ely require a great
deal of work to place them in prop
er condition for the heavy traffic
which passes over them daily" said
Mr.. Eddy last night, and owing to
the high cost of labor al this time
the necessary amount Of money can
scarcely be furnished by the county
There are at this time dozen or
more men in the county Jail serving
sentences for various offenses or
awaiting trial before the district
court. The law requires that county
prisoners shall work eight hours ey-
cry day. Under present conditions
these men work very little. almost
their sole occupation being to chop
the wood that is used in the court
house and in the Jail building.
Il have proposed TO a number of
business men that chain gang be
Instituted by the county authorities
and that the prisoners be compelled
to work in the streets, improving
them.
Ii is my plan to have these men
under guard of IA deputy sheriff
OF the regular force, or under the
charge OF man specially deputizcd
for that purpose, to screen gravel in
the hills and place il on the streets.
grading them as the work progress
es. In this way he county would be
benefited and the men be made to
realize that a Jail sentence meant
something more drastic than regular
feeding. and almost absolute idle
ness.
Ht iOSi vi illt llllt lDI lnt SDt-
cial deputy could be met by the mer-
chants who would receive the great
est benefit from the proposed inn
provement."
Mr.. Eddy says that a number of
merchants have pledged their sup
port to the plan If it can be carried
ont within the law. and have indors-
ed it. Among those whom he says
are interested are the Northern Ho-
tel. Capitol saloon, Ely Mines &c Real
