Texas plan to sell convicts for highway work and new fund
Lieutenant Governor Davidson presents a three bill package to the Senate proposing 5000 miles of hard surfaced roads in Texas. The plan would replace the highway commission with a single highway commissioner who could hire convict labor, transfer convicts from prison farms to road camps, and direct funds from franchise and gross receipts taxes to a new State highway fund. A sale of prison farms would finance road construction. Also includes public notice of a Brewster County land sale by administrator Jas A Burke.
