3M SAVE EXPENSES. Has Been Corresponding With Some Counties. Supervisor E. R. Hurlburt of Mt.

Zion Is planning for a meeting of the chairmen of the boards of supervisors of adjoining counties, to be held In Decatur at 11 o'clock Thursday morning Aug. 18, for the purpose of discussing a cooperative workhouse or any other system by which county prisoners may be punished by sentence to manual la tor. INVITES COOPERATION. To further his plan he Is sending i circular letter to the chairmen of fifteen boards of nearby counties, sue- eestlng that they appoint committees of two, including themselves, to attend the meeting. The Idea of establishing a workhous or a stone pile has for a long time been uppermost In Supervisor Hurlburt's rnind At the June meeting of the board, on his motion, a committee con of himself, J.

Arthur- Brown of Pleasant View, and A. Holman of Decatur, was appointed to make plans lor a workhouse or a stonepile. TO REDUCE EXPENSE. Inquiry among counties where the la bor system Is in vogue has revealed the fact "that the number of arrests of vagabonds has decreased from a half $0 three quarters. Seen this morning, Mr.

Hurlburt said "Say this much for me If we can not have a workhouse, we shall have a 6ttne pile If I can bring It about. A cooperative workhouse will, of course, he the best, and for it I shall work" THE LETTER. Mr. Hurlburt's letter is as follows: Mt. Zion.

Ills, July Sir: At the June meeting of our county board a committee was appointed to formulate, or sugest, some system of labor for our county prisoners By corresponding with the county clerk of nearly every county in the sta'te we lind that many counties have some sort of labor to which prisoners are sentenced. Instead of being confined in the county Jail, where they are provided with clean and comfortable beds, cards and books with which to amuse themselves, with an abundance of food, all of which tends to stimulate a desire In the minds of many inmates of our county jails to remain there, and after they have been released ofttlmes commit some crime In order to 'enjoy that Idleness which Is to a great extent the author of vagrancy and crime. The taxpayers of our county, and many other counties, are becoming alarmed by the ever increasing expense of feeding and otherwise taking care of county prisoners. Some counties have reported to this committee that said expense has been reduced from 50 to 75 per cent since establishing a labor system In their county, and that no criminal has been arrested the second time. These statements are very encouraging to this committee, aad that your honorable board of supervisors are Interested in this matter, we cordially Invite your cooperation and acceptance of proposition, to-wit: That you appoint a committee of two, Including yourself, to attend a meeting at the court house in the city of Decatur on Thursday, Aug.

18, 1904, at the hour of 11 o'clock a. for the purpose of discussing the practicability of establishing a cooperative workhouse" to be erected and governed by the sev- eral'counties of central'Illinois which may join in the enterprise, or to discuss any other system by which county prisoners may be punished by sentence to manual labor. We feel that great good can be accomplished at this meeting, while such a convention may not be able to agree upon any given system, yet we do believe that a meeting of this kind will be Instrumental In eventually bringing about a much needed reform. A duplicate of this letter wtll be forwarded today to the chairmen of a dozen or more adjoining county boards, from all of whom we expect a favorable reply to attend this meeting. We are quite sure that the taxpayers of every county will gladly allow the small expense of attending this meeting.

In view of the apparent necessity of It. "Waiting your early reply of accept- we remain, yours respectfully, E. R. HURLBURT. J.
