Convicts on rock pile or other public work
Official statutory text
When, in the judgment of the board of county commissioners, the
expense of working the convicts upon the public highways is too
great, on account of the small number thereof, or for any other
reason, then it shall have authority to provide all necessary
apparatus for working of such convicts upon a rock pile, or rock
crusher, for the purpose of providing material for use upon the
public highways of the county. Such authority shall be exercised in
the same manner as is provided in the preceding section for the
working of convicts upon the public highways, and the board of
county commissioners shall have full authority as to how and where
such materials shall be used; provided, it shall use same for no
other purpose than the betterment of the public highways in the
county; provided, further, that in any county where the working of
convicts upon a rock pile, or rock crusher, is found impractical for
any reason, then the board of county commissioners may provide for
the working of the convicts upon any public work in which the county
has an interest.
