PRISON LABOR.
To the Editor of the Ereninj Star. Sir,—Judging from the laudable desire evinced by the Government to improve our streets, Ac., by the judicious manipulation of prison labor, it is to lie regretted that notwithstanding their good intentions in that way, a vast amount of labor is unnecessarily expended upon comp iratively useless streets now in course of formation, and which will nob be rerjuired for any practical purpose for years to come. The only immediate benefit* at all derivable is in the hands of the Superintendent of Works, by the improvement of Ids private property. Now, sir, when wo Mud in various parts of the city streets and Janes requiring immediate attention, not only in a sanitary point of view but for practical purposes and public conv nienee, it is unjust that places of vast importance to public health should be left unattended in order to benefit the public servants of the Province. ' I am, &c., Observer.
