JARMAN TALKS
ON PENDING
ROAD Bills
(av JOHN {, TafcEl

Tallahassee, May 15.-sgrhere appears
TO be some confusion in the minds OF
some members Of the house relative to
the status of the convict labor bills which
sion, said Representative 9arnan, OF
Santa Rosa county. today. There are
two separate and distinct bills, endorsed
by the State Road department. which
OF the program of the department. in pro-
viding for the working of the state con-
victs on the public roads OF the state
under state supervision.
House Bin No. 267. passed on third
reading by the house on Tuesday, was
entitled: "A BIZ 70 be entitled an Act
providing for the maintenance ana con-
troll of state convicts and providing for
the provisions Of this act and making an
appropria ton therefor,
The other bill is the one that was
passed on third reading by the senate
last Monday and certified to the house.
Il Is "A Bin to amend Chapter 1926 OF the
Acts OF the Legislature of 1917, the same
being entitled An Act to create a state
convict road force and to authorize the
working OF certain prisoners on same: to
provide for their housing. feeding CLOTH
ing, guarding and general care; to provide
-or their transportation. supervision and
general conditions under which they shall
be worked
he last quoted bill provides for the
dDOllSnlng OF the state convict lease Sys-
tenn upon the expiration of the present
lease on January /. 1920, and that all able
Bodied prisoners shall hereafter be placed
IN the state convict road force for work
upon the public roads of the, state. under
control and supervision Of the state road
department, except that IS of such able
bodied prisoners may be used on the
state prison farm to assist in the culti-
walton OF the farm
The first bill provides for a fund .or
taking care of the prisoners used on
the farm and all female prisoners as wen
as all males unable to be used on road
work
The second bill is essential for provid-
Ing for meeting the deficiency in the two
miH levy for meeting the federal aid COR
roads apportioned to Florida, and does
cot call for any special appropriation for
caring for the prisoners used on the
reads. as all costs of guarding, feeding,
housing, etc. viii be provided from the
funds for meeting federal aid
A.4e two bills must go through to make
either of any particular value. If the
prisoners should be granted to the coun-
ties for road work, the federal aid for
reads would not be met. The state road
department must have the state prisoners
and the two mill levy to meet the fed
eraI aid

TO CONSIDER
RESTORING BAN

The city board of health will hold a
called meeting at o'clock this even
ing with Dr.. B. F. Bond, commissioner
of public health for Sumter county
for the purpose of considering the To-
cal health situation.
Because of the increased prevalence
of Influenza recently, considerable
pressure has been brought to bear up
on officials to have the ban on public
gatherings restored, including schools,
and this will be considered. One pro-
posal is that in case public gatherings
are again forbidden, business places
will be allowed to open only during
part of the day. the hours from a. m
to p. m. being suggested.
DR.. Bond stated this afternoon that
there had been a decrease in new
cases of influenza since early last
week, but there was still a cOnsidera-
bic number His reports for the last
day or two were incomplete this af-
ternOon. because he had not been able
to get returns from every physician.
