BIG BUNCH OF ZEBRAS
LEAVE CAMP TODAY
Six Hundred Are Available
for Road Work.

The problem of disposing of 500
misdemeanor conyicts used by wild
cat camps will be taken up for
solution next Monday by the prison
commission and there is every in
dication that all of the convicts will
be placed upon the roads of the state.
These camps will go out of the
convict leasing business tonight, the
time set by the prison commission for
the camps to make all the necessary
arrangements.
When the commission determined
to break them up enough time was
allowed so that no hardship would
be worked and in the meantime the
commission has been making ar
rangements for disposing of the
convicts now worked in these camps.
These convicts will be either re-
turned to the counties which leased
them to be worked on the roads, or,
if the counties are not in a position
to receive them, they will be disposed
of through the commission to coun-
ties which DO need them and want
them to improve the highways
In response to inquiries sent out
by the commission some weeks ago,
requests have been made by a large
number of counties for both mis-
demeanor and felony convicts
