THE CANAL,

Mr. i. $. Hoyt, the eminent civil
Engineer. of Fort Dodge. Iowa, but
now of Alexandria. La who has con-
tracted for the construction Of The
New iberia Southern Drainage and
Commercial Canal, is here On the
ground with his working force ready
10 commence the work. Mr. Hoyt
comes with u good record Of work
done in various parts of the country.
This will be good news. to the people
who so promptly aud literally voted
the tax for the building of this great
.cs sS;asf il is with keen satisfaction"
that we announce J ne iac' ~ I'c pub
lie. To those who have thought on
the subject this public work means
great deal to the community, not only
in securing good drainage for the city,
but in retaining lands on each side
of the canal and aflordinR drainage to
many thousands OF acres now only III
sufficiently drained by reason of alb
sence of outlets. Another great adj
vantage is tho commercial Importance
Of the work. ms the canal will he of
sufficient capacity to admit OF good
sized vessels coming in from the Gulf.
This is bound to result in the estab-
fishing of commerce in fish, shriiups,
oysters fruits and many things not
now thought Of. II is not impossible
that the canal may attract the atten-
ton Of capitalists who are building
railroads with view of an outlet to
the Gulf 10 choose this route and
eventually enlarge this canal to great
proportions, admitting largo vessels,
which will g.Se us contact with
foreign ports. The projected road,
the Louisiana Central Railroad, row |
building this way from Monroe. may
take mp this matter LATER and develop
TO success. Whether these great OBJ
jects are ever fulfilled OF not, the
canal as now proposed will be of great
benefit TO New Iberia aud we are Of
the opinion our taxpayers who have
voted the money will be amply repaid
in the advantages acerueing from the
construction Of this canal.
We would suggest that when ground
ia broken for this great work that it
should be under the auspices of the
City Council, Progressive League aud
the Civic League that public dem
should be made and that
Hon. Leon Lemaite, President Of the
Board, and Mr.. Il. j. Carstens should
cnst the first spade of earth, for TO
their bseless shergy and devotion,
nCfo than any other. is due the sue
.ess Of this public utility.

Dear Sir: Thomas j. Bannon,

Westerly printers expect gallon
Of paint to cover 10 sets of blinds !:
Devoc covers 25; there is no such
thing as rubbing out.
(The usual reckoning is for a
gallon TO cover 16. We suspect
the Westerly people don't wear
their paint till it gets very shabby }
Devoe covers more; of course,
we know that; we know why too;
it's all paint and fnll-measue.
