We are strongly in favor OF
working the county prisoners on
the county roads. There is no
good sense in asking the taxpay'
ers to feed the prisoners and get
no return from the expenditure
necessary to keep the prisoners
fat. Besides, it would be much
better for the prisoners to be out
in the open air at work. And
again, perhaps they will be more
careful about getting in trouble
again. As we understand it, thu
matter is up to the county com
missiouers. Out in Chautauqua
county the county prisoners ar
worked ON the county roads
Why not In Cherokee county?
