COST OF CHAIN GANGS.

Inc question is often raised here
ana there whether chain ganes nav
their way along or are an actual cx-
penSc on the counties having them.
The ADbevillc Press and Banner, if
our memory serves us right. has been
outspokcn in dGnuncation OF the sys-
tenn rom an economic standpoint,
charging that they are operated at a
loss to the county. Some figures Civ
en- in the recent Quarterly Bulletin
Of the State Board of Charities and
corrections throw some light on the
subject. According to this bulletin the
average cost OF maintaining and
guarding conyicts on the gangs in
Greenyille county for the calendar
year 1915 was $0.559 day, taking no
account of time lost from sickness.
Sundays, bad weather, etc. but ncljld-
ing the cost Of foremcn and guards.
Ihcn assuming that each convict
worked on an average Of twenty days
per month, the actual labor cost was
$O833 per day. Figures from Spar
tanbnrg showed that the per cap
ita cost in that county was slightly
higher than In Grccnvillc county, but
it appears that $0.S5 is about the av-
crage per capita cost Of the convict
labor when It Is working.
In making comparison Of costs
between chain gang labor and hired
labor there are various things to con-
slider. The cost Of teams for pulling
and transporting implements would,
we take 1t, be approximately the same
under either system. There would be
no need under the hired labor system
for guards, but there would be for
foremen. The cost Of foremen. how
ever, would best be figured in with
the cost OF the hirod labor. A ques-
tion then is, can we get hired labor
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1917-02-28

with the cost Of foremen included at
a per capita rate of less than $0.S5 per
day and at the same time get the
same efficiency Or can we increase
the efficiency by using hired labor at
an advanced cost?
Even though it could be shown that
II is cheaper to use hired labor on the
roads than convict labor, We would
still have the convicts with us. To dis
pose OF them in some other way would
add another burden which would prob
ably overbalancc any loss in working
them on the roads.
