County Prisoners To Bo
Used on Rood Work
John Smith reporta that the com-
missioner's court at Erath county
have already approved the ayatem of
using county prisoners on county
road work Instead of letting those
assessed sentences serve their time
In the county Jail. This was done
at the tegular meeting of the court
last Monday, said Mr. Smith.
This does not go into elect now
but will be put In operation as soon
as a study of the system used in
other counties is made and actual
plans laid out for its operation in
this county. This system Is expect-
ed to be put in operation in a tew
weeks.
Mr. Smith states that Jail sen-
tences do not stop habitual crim-
inals which are a constant cost to
|the taxpayers. By putting these
people to work, In a short time there
should be less prisoners to have to
keep up because of the road work.
The Commissioner from this pre-
cinct also stated that the automobile
tax money would be divided thlr
week.
