ranged: a new ledger opened and such
improvements made about the Office
that seemed necessary for the dis
patch of business and the convenience
of the members of the organization
and people seeking Information about
the community"
Under general discussion a good
deal was said about the fact that little
road work is being done in this coun-
ty and city by convicts.
The opinion was generally expressed
that this locality could use convicts
on the streets and roads better than
any other section of the state and that
we lose thousands of dollars every
year that they are not used on the
streets and roads. 1t was agreed that
some definite movement should be
started to encourage the City Coun-
Gil and the County Commissioners
in using convicts on lot of work
that will never lie done except ty their
aid.
