Michigan Prison Rock Quarry Proposal Faces Skepticism
Highway Commissioner Earle’s plan for a rockbreaking penitentiary in the upper peninsula would employ inmates to produce crushed rock for road construction, selling at fifty cents a ton. The scheme faces doubt about passage this session, while a Supreme Court decision allows Michigan Central to pursue a six million dollar suit against the state, with mixed views on its financial impact. Republicans report record April votes and high prison labor amendment support, alongside a mortgage tax bill advancing despite gubernatorial opposition. The treasury holds over seven million dollars with no debt, and spring primary school apportionment is anticipated to be the largest yet.
