New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1903-04-11


didates for the position of Mayor
and Councilman, who will partici
pate in the Democratic primaries
to be held On April Dist, to sue
ceed the present administration,
who have done as much As their
means wonld justify in repairing
the streets OF the city. Among the
candidates mentioned for Mayor,
either Of them would make good
officers, as they are men of energy,
push, and we believe, considerable
moral courage. The good people
Of New Iberia should give their
suffrage only to thoss who will
stand on platforms Of reform, as
many changes for the better, could
be made in our police regulations
that will be beneficial to the city,
not only saving revenue, Int in
bringing additional revenue which
is sorely needed for streets and
bridges and other improvements.
1t is our intention when the next
Council are duly installed to agi-
tate the reforms we have in mind.
New iberia needs revenues and it
cannot secure them unless the
proper men are elected, who will
have the courage to correct some OF
the abuses that are existing at pres
enti Better streets and sidewalks
and system of sewerage. snc'I as
is being constructed in many
other towns should be the aim of
the next city administration.
Economy Don't Mean
squeezing a cent until it is out
of shape. 1t means investing
your money to the best advantage.
There is no safer or better invest
ment than real estate. If you
have only a few dollars each
month, let us buy the property
for you and we will accept week
ly, monthly or yearly install
ments in payment therefor
