Lancaster Abolished Chaingung
When Supply of Prisoners was
Small and is Now Not Prepared
to Ho establish It.
Special to News and Courier.
Lancaster, Murcb 2ft.?The
board of county commissioners
met hero yesterday for the purpose
of considering the question
of re-establishing the chaingnng,
which was abolished a year or so
ago for lack of convicts to keep it
up. Since that lime the occasion
al prisoners sentenced to labor on
I
the public works of the county,
who were unable to pay the tine
alternative, havs been hired out
to the Cheater authorities.
The sentencing by the court this
week of quite a number of con.
victed pal ties to the chain gang,
the most of them for two years,
prompledlhe commissioners totake
tip tbe matter of putting the system
in operation again, using the
convicts now available as a nucleus
i
I hereof. Hut several difficulties J
confronted the board when it be..j
gaw to look into the subject yes-!
terday.
In the lirst place, the /act that
the county will have no money
this year, which cau be used to
pay the expenses of maintaining
a chain gang stared tbe commissioners
in the fnco. In estimating
the umount of funds likely to
bo needed for this year's current
expenses, no allowance was made
for operating a chain gang, and
no provision, therefore, was made
in the tax levy by the Legislature
for such considerable item of expense,
which amounted the last
year the gang was worked in tho
county, to about $2,400.
In tho second place, the hoard
finds that in all probability it will
lack something over $2,000 of
making ends meet this year, anyway,
to say nothing aheut the
chnir.gang business. Tho pros
peclive deficit is due to the fact
that the Legislature ut its last
session made an increase in the
salaries of the county oflicerH and
in igistrates amounting altogether
to $1,250 hut made no provision
for the payment of such increase
by raising the county levy,
ami lo the further fact that tie
expenses of the Sk'pper trial will
exceed by something liko $1,000,
its estimated cost.
With these facts before them
the commissioners, at their meeting
yesterday, had about concluded
not to establish the chain gang
again, hut to continue to hire the
convicts to Chester, when, upon
calling up tho Chester supervisor
over the phone, they learned that
it was very doubtful whether that
county could use any more of
Lancaster's convicts. The board,
ihorefore, adjourned without taking
any action in tho matter.
Other counties will !?.? lui-tuon
at once, with the view of placing
the convicts elsewhoro. In the
mean I i mo they will he put to
work on one of the public roads
near town, commencing Monday
morning.
