WORK PRISONERS ON ROADS

The Durant Chamber Of Commerce
has received a letter from the Nc
Alester Club, stating that Pittsburg
county had made arrangements with
the State to use prisoners from the
Oklahoma penitentiary to work on the
proposed highway that will run clear
across the state parallel with the Katy
railroad, and asking that Bryan coun-
ty get busy at once and arrange with
the state for the use of prison labor
in working that portion of the great
highway that will traverse this coun-
ty.
The matter was taken up with the
Board of County Commissioners AM
that body made formal application to
the Prison Board of Central for
enough convicts to work Bryan coun-
TVS part of the road extending from
the Atoka county line, through Caddo.
Durant, Calera, Colbert and to Red
River.
The McAlester Club advises that
convict labor has been used there with
satisfactory results. and that the cost
is about one-tenth that of employing
ordinary labor. The plan of which
the state will farm out" convicts for
this kind of work is for the county
getting the labor to pay just what
expenses are incurred over and above
what 1t would cost TO maintain the
men in the penitentiary. The expenses

that this county would pay to secure
state convicts to make our share OF
the across state highway, would be
railroad fare, extra guards, and the
bridges necessary in making the roads
and what dynamite was used in blast
ing in the work. The state would pay
the board of the men, and furnish all
tools, machinery, ETC., used in the road
building work.
The County Commissioners realized
at a glance that building of Bryan
countys part Of the highway in this
manner would mean a great saving,
and that dandy road can be bnilt
for practically nothing as compared
with employing labor at wages.
A good VIDE hard road clear across
the state running right through this
county and city would make lots Of
additional traffic which now does not
come our way. Every county along
the route Of the Katy is busy. and all
are putting in their bids for the con-
vict labor, which will greatly cheaper
the cost OF building the road.
II there are no bitches in the pro-
gram as planned at this time, this
state highway should be in operation
within six months. The county OF
