Shreveport, La, Feb. Is, t9i3.-To
the Honorable Police Jury Of Cad
do Parish, Louisiana: Gentlemen
lin compliance with your request for
! an opinion in reference to good
| time allowed off, for convicts work
| ing on the public roads of thisfpar-
fish, l beg to submit: That Act eO4 of
1903, section s, provides: THAT any
lconvict working under direction of
1.-THE Police Jury who renders eff
lcient services and complies with all
necessary rules and regulations
shall have deducted from his term
of imprisonment one-sixth thereof.
| do not find any statement pro-
Ividing for extra time to be allowed
Iconvicts for special services or sex-
ira work performed. l am informed
by Mr.. Wynn that he has. in the
past, acted on instructions from the
board of control appointed by your
honorable body, credited to certain
prisoners all time put in by them
above ten hours per day. which
would in my opinion be just and no
doubt saving in expense to the
parish, but since there is no law
giving this authority to the Police
Jury l. am of the opinion that 1t
would be best to discontinue the
lpractice Of allowing extra time, ex-
lcept the one-sixth as above set
forth.
| respectfully submit that have
found in Mr.. Wynn, the superlnten-
dent of the farm. man OF honesty
and integrity. and am sure desires
Ito comply with the law and the re-
quirements of your honorable body.
