40 Convict Workers to Improve the
Highways in Grady County; Com
missioners Arranging for
Camping Place.
INITIAL WORK TO BE
DONE SOUTHEAST CITY
Work Two and Half Miles Then
Move to Ninnekah Road, De-
cIares Commissioner Temple;
All Are to Be White.

That the glng Of state conyicts
slated for work on the roads of Gra-
dy county will arrive here with full
equipment about December 20, was
the word received by fthe county
commissioners from the state board
of affairs.
Preparations are being made now
for the camp to be established for
the convicts. j. A. Temple, county
commissioner, sthted this morning
that two SITES were figured en- at this
time for the initial camp, One is To-
Gated ON the Chastain land, south
and east of Chickasha Whether or
not this land is available is not
known to-day, but Commissioner Tenn
pile expects to receive "a definite an
swer by tomorrow
In the event the Chastain land is
net available, the camp will be es-
tablished in the timber on the Wash
ita river east of the old knitting mill
building
Where They'll Work.
When asked where the first work
will be done by the road gang after
their camp is established, Commits
sioner Temple said;
1--WE will use the gang on the road,
starting at the railroad crossing at
the old knitting mill. They win work
east to the first corner, then turn
south by the Frank Baker place and
work about two and IA half miles of
.tha road This represents some of
the worst road in the county.
"The gang will next be moved to
the Ninnekah road, starting at the
corner west of the Chastain place.
They will work the Ninnekah road
at lehst No the southern line of Chick
asha township That is as far as MY
jurisdiction goes Commissioner
Pursley may take the gang in charge
at that point and continue the work
to Ninnekah'
The commissioners lare informed |
that there will be about 40 workers
in the gang In addition, there will /
be a road supervisor, a cook and
steward
The men are all white and are
TRUSTEES. There will be no guards |
with the outfit When the nrrange-
ments we're first made with THE state
board of affairs, it was the intention
to get gang of negroes In this
event, there would have been several |
guards-at least three, and their sal
aries would have been paid by the
county
1t is pointed out that the gang that
is coming will cost Grady county
less than the negro out
fit originally contracted for. The be-
lief is also expressed around court
house circles that the white TRUSTEES
will give better satisfaction through |
out the county
The plan is to keep this road gang
in Grady county for several months.
