The Georgia idea Of handling State
convicts probably win be accepted b.
Montgomery County next Monday. when
the County Board OF Revenue will meet
in a special session TO decide on q
plan for working the county roads
The matter was preached at the meet
ing of the Board Monday, when the
suggestion to adopt the system OF
working state and county convicts on
the roads, instead Of the old lease sys-
tenn of hiring the convtets TO private
concerns, met with the'unanimous ar-
prevail of the Board members.
No action was taken on the matter
but next Monday was set to decide dea-
nitely on q new system. The fact that
a large portable steel cage has been
ordered by the Board. indicates that
such a system is practically q GER
tainty.
In the event that the new system Ia
adopted, the force OF overseers will be
minimized, and the convict camps viii
be provided with numerous guards.
The suggestion OF J. II. Cook to al
low the option OLA IS fee for the ten
DAYS road work required OF every able
bodied man in the county was adopted
finally. The proceeds OF the plan musi
be used In the beat where the tax u

suggestion that the officers supply
themselves with the weapons.
