The county court took steps yes terday at a special session to de i crease in whatever measure it court, the unemployment situation j In Jackson county by considering 1 plans for operation of county rock I crushers during- the winter months1 to provide work for 25 or more j men. I Operation of the rock crushers j will enable the county to lay in a ! large supply for the heavy gravel- ling and oiling program next year, j It ts planned to operate two of the ; crushers, while the third is in the j machine shops undergoing repairs. I Details of the plan will be decided at the regular session of the county j court tomorrow. It is necessary for the gravel used in oiling operations to bo washed, and it must thus bo pre pared for the oiling of the Apple gate road from Ruch to Provolt. To Store Gravel It is tentatively planned to oper ate the rock crushers In various parts of the county where road work Is planned for 1931 and store the gravel there. No hauling will be done this winter, as it would rut the roads. County Judge Alex Sparrow said this morning that men employed under the winter policy would have to be bona fide residents of Jackson county and that it wan hoped to secure some co-operation from the state highway commis sion in providing winter work. The continuation of work thru the winter also prevents the laying off of a dozen men now employed.
