A report upon the workhouse quarry was made to the pardon and parole board by Cornelius MURPHY, who is in charge of the quarry. He advocated the building of sheds to shelter the workers in cold weather and giving the prisoners who work there canton flannel underwear. Mr. MURPHY further suggested that the price of breaking a cubic yard of rock be raised from sixty cents to eighty cents. This would enable the prisoners to save a little money. The commercial price of a yard of broken rock, according to Mr. MURPHY, is ninety cents. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
