CONV|CTS HERE
CONGRATULATE COURT
UPON IT'S PLANS

Final Arrangements Made Today for
the Bringing Of State conviets TO
This County to Labor on the Roads
-Messrs Brown and Williams Well
Pleased With the Courts Plans.
This morning Martin l.. Brown.
warden of the state penitentiary at
Moundsyille, and A, Dennis Williams,
tS.e road engineer, of Morgantown.
;rrived in the city for the purpose of
comforting with the county court re
lative 10 bringing conyicts here to
work on the highways and make
final arrangements for their trans
portation as well as examine the
quarters provided for the men.
Upon their arrival they were met
by Messrs Thatcher, Whitmore and
Lloyd and Senator Gray Silver, and
all Went to Inwood to inspect the
work planned for that section. Ar
irving at Tnwood Joseph Miller, as
sistant to the county road engineer,
who accompanied them over the In
wood and Gerrardstown pike ex.
planned what he expected to- do. They
also looked over the quarters which
the court will provide for the con
victs when they are transferred
there
Messrs Brown and Williams are
immensely pleased with the plans OF
the court and approved of them in
every detail When the convicts ar
rive they will be placed to work on
the Martinsburg and Shepherdstown
road This work was first planned,
and the court will first give 1t atten-
ton Until cold weather arrives
portable quarters wiz be provided
for the conyicts and those who will
have them in charge.
When the time arrives for the men
to enter their winter quarters they
viii be transferred to Inwood, where
permanent quarters will be provided
for them on Senator Silyer's farm
The court will direct its attention to-
the Inwood and Gerrardstown road
and all roads leading to it. From
lnwood at least Is miles of road can
be worked without having to move
quarters. This viii be a great CON
venience, and Warden Brown con-
gratulated the court upon having
perfected such plans.
Mr. Brown was especially pleased
with the idea of placing the convicts
in the country He believes that TAX
ing them away from the city and
public works will have a good effect
upon them, because they will not be
tempted to become mruly Or have a
desire to escape. Twenty-Five men
wifi be sent here within a short time,
and upon their arrival work will be
started on the Martinsburg and
Shepherdstown road.
A good feature of the work is that
1t will not cost the county any money
only in the. way OF providing the
machinery, such >as stone crushers,
etc. This means the building of first
class roads throughout the county,
and places Berkeley at the lead be
cause the first consignment Of con-
victs to leave the state prison will
be sent here.
This afternoon Warden Brown and
Mr.. Williams met with the court. and
it was decided to bring the eonvicts
here between the 10th and 18th of
November. The court will now per
feet the necessary arrangements and
have everything in readiness for their
reception.

Ellsworth American., 1913-01-08

a taxpayer in the city hasn't known ever
dollar expended for the city expenses each
month.
"These statements have been neatly
printed in pamphlet form for distribution.
They have been arranged in departments,
and in each statement is shown to whom
every dollar expended during the month
by order OF the commission was paid.
The statment also contains the treasurer's
report for the month, showing the collec-
tion of all moneys for that period.
"For 1912, the appropriations Of the city
were $S7,557.15. This was not quite so
much as had been appropriated each year
for long time past, but the great feature
OF saving in it, is not in that it was re-
duction, bat in that on January first next
there will be considerable amount OF
this unexpended, whereas, heretofore, the
rule has been to spend all the appropria-
tion, and usually overdraw the amount to
a greater or less extent.
"Until the last bill is paid, it will be
impossible to state exactly what this un-
expended balance will be, but the high
way department is regarded as good ex-
ample, because that is one Of the depart
ments which is usually sure to be over
drawn. On November first that depart
mens had quarter of its appropriation
unexpended. Practically all the other
departments will show cash on hand, in
stead of an overdrawn appropriation at
the end of the year.
"The present commissioners are DIR. b.
e. Lamb, F. NJ. Noyes and John W.
Berry. They were all elected in Deem
ber, 1911. By the terms of the charter at
that, the first election, the mayor, DR..
Lamb, was chosen for three years, the
second commissioner, Mr.. Noyes, for two
years, and the third, Maj. Berry, for one.
Thereafter commissioner was to be
elected each year for term OF three years.
"On Nov. q, last, the second election OF
a commissioner was beld. Major Berry
was candidate for reelection. He was
opposed by George e. Colby. In the cleo.
tion s96 votes were cast. Maj. Berry had
579 OF these and Mr.. Colby 317.
"In December, 1918, will come the third
election, at which the successor OF Mr..
Noyes will be chosen, and in 1914, at the
fourth election, the voters will select the
successor to Mayor Lamb.
alt is believed by those who urged the
adoption OF the commission form OF gov
ernment, that the splendid results at
tanned this year, will be still more inn
proved in the coming months. Last year
the commissioners were new. This year
they have grasp and knowledge of city
affairs. 1t is possible for them to plan
ahead to advantage. Already they are do
ing this. They are making arrange
ments for work to be done in 1918,
which will further prove the worth of this
modern means of government. Its result
will be watched by all with, il possible,
keener interest than has that OF 1872"
