PLAN TO EMPLOY ARMY AND
NAVY PRISONERS ON
MILITARY ROADS

Atlanta, Ga, JAM S.-Employment
of army and navy prisoners in the
construction of roads and highways
for military purposes is the plan pro-
posed by United States Senator Hoke
Smith, of Georgia in a bill introduced
by him in the Senate.
Ever since the abolition of the old
convict lease system the state of
Georgia has employed her convicts
in the construction and maintenance
of public roads and wonderful re-
suits have been accomplished. The
healthful outdoor work has proven
beneficial to the convicts, and the
mileage of improved highways has
been tremendously increased.
A number of the environments
where troops are being trained are
suffering on account of inadequate
and improper highway connections
with the railroads and the main ex-
isting thoroughfares. The bill OF
Senator Smith would authorize the
war department to employ the army
and navy prisoners in constructing
good roads at such places.
