PRISONERS ALLOWED
TO WORK IN FIELDS
May Keep Part of Earnings for
Their Labor

jail where prisoners are encour-
aged to go forth without guards and
earn money for themselves, and where
they are not only allowed to attend
circuses and other entertainments, but
also occasionally given tickets by the
sheriff, Is the unique institution OF
Montpelier, VT.
The very latest example of Sheriff
Tracy's application of this theory was
on circus day. in Montpelier when he
gave circus tickets to II of the boys,
as he calls his guests, and told them
to go out and enjoy themselves, but to
be sure to be back in time for supper,
says the Boston Post. There was to
be a particularly good supper that
night, and, besides, the rest of the
boys were away working and wanted
to hear all about the big show. These
others could have gone also, but they
were busy haying for farmers near the
city and wanted the money.
This incident of the circus is only an
example of the spirit of the Washing
ton county Jail. Also 1t is a proof of
what Sheriff Tracy has predicted ever
since the passing by Vermont state leg
islature of the prison labor law. The
law permits the working of prisoners
outside the jails, on the stipulation
that all that a man makes over a dol
lar a day is his own. The dollar is
dDStTdCIeQ TO 20 10 tHc prison DOdFo dS
payment for the clothing, shoes, dinner
pals, car fare and similar things fur
nisheJ the men. The men receive these
as we'll as their food and lodging free,
and SO 1t is that today there are many
prisoners at Montpelier saving SO to
$40 a week. This is more than a ma
jority of them could save if they were
not in Jail, and their enthusiasm and
added interest in hard work and econ
omy bears out Sheriff Tracy's belief
that reformation is obtained by this
system rather than by keeping the men
locked UP at indoor tasks without re-
muneration.

tees, is speaking about the high rate,
said today.
When the town of Piedmont was
established it became necessary to pur-
chase site and erect building for
the schooling of our children. This cost
$4,000. for which we were Obliged to
give bonds. We had no high school
facilities, and in order to present our
children this opportunity we have been
included in the Oakland high school
district, and must pay the required levy.
we also found that the roads and
highways of our town were in miser-
able condition, and Improvements were
begun in keeping with the prime OBJ
ject of making this section the city
beautiful The cement viaduct, replae
ing the old wooden bridge in Oakland
avenue, cost $4,000, for which we gave
bonds. The Improvement of Oakland,
Vernal, Grand, Rose and other avenues
cost $129.000, for which we again gave
bonds In each case of a bond issue
one-tenth of the total amount was re-
quired to be paid annually with accrued
interest. At present there remains of
the total amount tied up in bonds about
S173,000.
This will serve to give an idea of
what we have to meet which necessi-
tates a high levy. Our plans for the
future Of this city are elaborate and
demand naturally an elaborate price"
