 The state proposes to install a 10,- 00-spindle mill at Kilby prison this year and gradually to add to the equipment until it is operating 25,- coo spindles. Another provision in the contract will require the company to accept all chambray which the state may manufacture at the old cotton mill at Speigner.
 By the installation of the shirt manufacturing plant at I<ilby prison the state will be able to utilize labor not heretofore available such as erip- pies. Power sewing machines will be installed and experts can train the cripples to become shirtmakers. These cripples have been an expense to the state in the past. Under the new contract they will earn about $50 a month.
 While market prices will govern the prices the state. will obttin for convict labor under the contract, 1t is estimated that the monthly return to the state under present market prices would be about $75 convict.
