CALIFORNIA ADOPTS LAW TO
WORK CONVICTS ON ROADS

California has adopted a convict road
bill similar, although not so compre-
hensive as some in effect in other
States, notably in Colorado. The new
law was sponsored by State Highway
Commissioner C. +. Stern.
Under its provisions approximately
one-fourth of the inmates OF Cali
fornia's two penal institutions will be
available for road work within year
and ultimately about so per cent may
be used.
The menace TO free Dor charged by
opponents of the bill was overcome by
the provision that the prisoners will be
worked only in the sparsely settled dis
tricts of the State where at present II
is an economic impossibility to con-
struct highways in any other manner
II is expected that under the new law
hundreds OF miles OF new roads will be
opened in the desert and mountainous
portions OF the State.
4 sl5.000.o00 bond issue for road con-
struction will be submitted to the peo-
pie of California at special election
set for next October 26.
statement issued by the State
Highway Commission shows that OF the
'SlS.ooo,oo0 bond issue authorized in
1910 there has been expended more
than two-thirds. This issue was for
the specific purpose Of constructing
two main trunk lines from the north
ern to southern ends OF the State, ap-
proXimately $500 miles.
In addition 10 this work about 700
miles of building has been included in
the project that was not contemplated
originally. OF the sls.0o0.ooO issue
there remains s5.7o0,0oO with which to
construct 1859 miles of trunk lines and
1.163 lines of laterals
The estimated cost OF the remaining
