BENEFITS DERIVED FROM III


YorkVille. Dec 26.3There seems ID
be considerable dissatisfaction with the
operation of the chaingang in this
county. The Impression is growing
that the cost to the taxpayers is far
out of proportion to the benefits re-
Iceiyed, in that not nearly so much or
effective work in road building is be-
ing done as is being secured by the
neighboring County of CASTOR, in NORTH
Carolina, under the contract system.
It is said that one material difference
in the two counties is that in CASTOR
work is done at a minimum cost and in
a minimum time by the use of improv-
ed machinery. while in York practical
iy all the work is done by hand, and d
maximum period of time consumed in
doing it. At present the gang is en-
gagged in building a road from the
