New Iberia enterprise and independent observer., 1903-07-25
LOCAL NHWS.

Our attention has again been
called to the manner in which q num-
ber Of our people drive their steeds on
our Main street. Almost any evening
can be seen rapid driving, contrary to
the City ordinance. 1t seems strange
that with the abundance of Police Of
GERS that New Iberia boasts of, seldom
arrests are made for the violations of
this ordinance. In some instances ar
rests are made of one or two parties
on the slightest pretext, for other sup
posed violations of City ordinances, as
happened this week, when a party
was incarcerated in Jail for nearly
fourteen hours, and when brought be-
fore the City Court, Judge Brown
promptly discharged the accused, as
there was no evidence to show that
the party was guilty. Such practices
on the part of the Chief, should at
once be checked by the Mayor, and
the ordinance repealed which gives to
the officer making arrests one dollar.
II officers cannot be depended upon to
do their sworn duty without being
compensated on the side they had bet

Mr.. A. b. Romero, our efficient
Parish Treasurer and Secretary of the
Police Jury made flying trip to the
Anse LaButte oil fields last Wednesday
and reports everything in flourish
ing condition at that point. Com
pressed air is being used at one of the
wells and something like three hund
red barrels per day pumped by this
process. 1t is but question of few
months when that field will be the
equal IL not better than the Beaumont
field. It is to be hoped that ere long
Iberia Parish and particularly New
Iberia, whose citizens should get a
stir ON themselves and commence bo-
ring AZ early AZ possible, will also be-
come an oil center.

We have received trio Of toma-
toes from Mr.. M. Leblanc that are
very fine, they come from the seed
furnished by the Agricultural Depart
ment ct Washington, are Of superior
color and form, Of fine texture and
flavor and Of immense size. 1t would
seem proper when confronted by such
Ane specimens to suggest that larger
crops should be planted for canning
factories, but we have had our say on
this subject, without any response, yet
nevertheless, the locality, the soil. is |
here for such an industry.
