Mineola, Montgomery County.
Governor Frederick D. Gardner,
both in his Inaugural address and his
first message to the Forty-ninth Gen
era Assembly, urged the use of state
prisoners in the construction of bet
ter roads throughout Missouri. Mont
gomery County was the first county
to make formal application to the
State Highway Department and the
State Prison Board for the use 'of'
prison labor in road world " The
Mineola special road district had voted
bonds to pay one-half the cost of con
structing the eight-mile Hnkt the'
National Old Trails road within the
district, and, finding it Impossible to
secure local labor, induced the county
court to make formal application for
thirty men from the state prison tor
assist in the work of construction.
Twenty-five of tnese men are employ
ed on the road, and five of them are
detailed for cooking, laundry work,
and other duties about the camp. '
The road district pays the State
Prison Board $1.25 per day for each
man actually engaged In road work,
and the State Highway Department
will reimburse the district for oner
half this amount as the work progress
es. The per diem paid for the men
actually employed on the roads
covers the expense of housing, board
ing, and transporting the entire
camp, and also includes the salary of
a foreman supplied by the prison
board, the services or the men re
quired to maintain the camp, as cooks.
etc.
Warden Gilvln, of the state prison,
reports 500 men now available for
road work, and all counties desiring to
obtain their services must make
formal application to the State High
way Department and State' Prison
Board through their county courts.
The men will be furnished upon the
same terms as those supplied to the
Mineola road district.
The honor system is used ex
clusively In working the men at
Mineola. They work without guards
and are not clothed In stripes. The
camp Is -antiary and attractive, and is
lighted by electricity from a small In
dividual plant. Bathing facilities arc
supplied, and a camp barber calls
"next" as the men line up for their
twice-a-week shave. The food Is
plentiful and wholesome, much of It
