OPPOSES
PURCHASING TRUCK
TO CARRY PRISONERS

Lucius B. Harrison, entrusted with
the remonstrance of the labor unions
against the purchase of an automobile
truck for use on the county roads and
against the use of prisoners for road
work, failed to appear Saturday after
noon before the board of county CON-
missioners and state the case of the
Central Labor council.
The commissioners did not cast
their votes to order advertisements
for a truck. Commissioner Anderson
and Doddridge tried to avoid a split
vote but the new member Of the COM
mission, William Cheesman, was firm
against the purchase and the argu-
ments of the other two in favor could
not swing him.
Cheesman Stands Firm.
AS the situation now stands, Chees-
man alone is holding fort for the wish
es of the union men while Anderson
and Doddridge are giving more time
in an effort to have the vote unani-
nous.
Albert Anderson, president of the
board, said the members of the county
council had been interviewed and
were in favor of the purchase OF a
truck. Many prominent business men
who understood the situation were
also behind the two affirmative CON-
missioners.
I'VE will hold the vote off and give
the union men a chance to present
their remonstrance," President Ander-
son said. This will give US an oppor-
tunity to find out what the views of
the union men are and then we will
have opportunity to explain our rea-
sons for wanting the auto truck.
think the union men do not under
stand that all available money is
spent for wages and machinery and
that the prison labor is extra work we
are getting practically for nothing and
which we would not have done other
wise. The truck is not for the trans
portation OF prisoners, but it has been
spoken of in that connection because
it will save us some money on livery
bills. The auto will be used In all
kinds of road work and will be great
money saver"

HANDLEY'S VERSE
REVEALS HUMOR
IN PAVING SCRAP
TO COUNCIL

~ NOONNII.-
s just 90 ahGad and pave the
streets with asphalt, blocks, or
bricks, and never halt or worry be-
cause some fellow kicks. To make
the city beautiful and pleasant to
the eye you've got to spend some
money, nor heed the measIy cry Of
those who kick or yell because
they have to pay; improvements
we have got to make in spite Of all
they say. But we don't want OUR
street paved, there'd be no sense
In that; the city should tend to
OUR street, and that's our opinion
flat. Our street was made for
pleasure, and churches line the
way; we're all Of US amply able,
but none Of US want to pay. Pave
all the streets you want to, and
pay no attention to kicks, but
don't ever think Of OUR street, we
don't need any bricks.
