State Convicts To Do Large Part Of Highway Work
Henry G. Shirley, chairman, said two thousand convicts are available for highway work and a year round plan is being laid out. The department completed 221.7 miles of roadway in the last fiscal year at a cost of 6.6 million dollars, with 37.6 miles graded and drained and 403.99 miles of old roads resurfaced at 1.86 million. Costs for rights of way rise, and land precharges are excessive.
