Street Work Plan Loon Favor.
Members of the committee are
deeply concerned ch what their rc-l
port than be: but the deeper they
go into the subject the more diflcult
”ems the solution gwhich gtust be
made.
At the county meeting it was sug-
gested. and the suggestion met with
lsome favor, that prisoners at the
Bridgeport and Dnnbury jails could
DIOfitably be hired out by the county
.to the street departments of those
:cities. 0n reflection. however, the
‘plan does not meet with the favor
which was then accorded it.
1 it is now realized. according to
COM
That’s All
,members of the committee that if the
‘3 w*m ' ‘county sheriff were to assign a gang
'of prisoners to a city for street work
he would have to send along guards

otters. in Fair-hold county. especial-
‘ly, which is contiguous to New York
state there is o. strong leaven of pris-
oners who have city ideas and a de-
.sire to get back to New York and its
llenvirona so strong as to tempt them
',to take a chance of being shot at
’tby a guard in the event of detection
Ewblle trying to escape. This, of
course, would make possible a shoot-
. ing in the public streets. with the add.
'cd possibility of a wild bullet's hitting
’somebody besides the fugitive. That
Eis a possibility which the committee
