ABOUT 100 AVAILABLE. Commissioner Hunt so Advises Board Matter is Referred to a Committee. The report of the good roads committee ot the board of supervisors on the question having convict labor employed by the county in doing work on town roads, the expense to be assessed jointly to the county and the towns in which the work is to be done, was sent to the county attorney for an opinion to be submitted at the next meeting. The report says the committee be lieves it will be both practicable and I desirable to supplement the work le-ing done by the state highway commission by the improvement 'of town roads on the joint expense plan, under section 320-a of the highway laws. The committee says it inspected the Tonawanda creek road in the town of Amherst.

It also took mto consideration the stone in the spoils banks along the Barge canal nearby. The matter of employing convict labor was taken up with Commissioner Charities and Correction William Hunt. Commissioner Hunt advised the committee that from 75 to 100 convicts were available from the Erie county penitentiary to do this, class of work. The committee advises that the con-victs may be employed under the charge of the town superintendent, with a suitable foreman, subject to the supervision and the approval of the convict part of the forces by the commissioner of charities and correction. While the employment of convict labor and the joint payment of the road work in the towns is experimental, the committee believes the Tonawanda creek road job will result in the substitution of this form of construction work generally throughout the county.

The adoption of the report will call for the preparation of plans by the county superintendent fqi a twelve-foot macadam highway and for the appropriation of $15,000 for the county's part of the work. On motion of Supervisor B. Michal-ski of the 10th ward, the board, when it adjourned, did so in honor of the victory of Home Rule for Ireland. Supervisor Mead seconded the motion. "This motion," said Supervisor Mead, "offered by our worthy member, Supervisor "'McClusky' should be adopted, even though it, was by him the desk of' Supervisor of Lackawanna who was succeeded this morning by, Mr- Delaney." -The motion was unanimously carried.

County Probation Officer Edwin J. Cooley was granted leave to spend not to exceed 500 for the moving and fitting up of his new quarters in the Law Exchange building, which he is to occupy after June 1st.

Health Commissioner Froncxak calls attention to the fact that the law requires parents or guardians, in ca4es or diseases in which a doctor is not called, to report the -same to the department of health. "It is not sufficient," says Dr.

Froncxak, "to keep the child out of school or notify the principal of the school. Besides liability to be punished for violation of the law, the return of the child to school is rendered more dllficult for the lack of the proper certificate." Dr. Kronczak calls attention to the fact that many cases of whooping-cough are not reported because a doctor has not been called in. and urges that parents who have failed to make such reports at once comply with the law.
