An article in the Enterprise of las
week headed Let US have a Park
is very opportune and it is to be hoped
it will have the effect to stir up al
interest of a practical nature in this
one OF the pressing needs of New
Iberia. 1.-The Civic League with {
view to giving series of lawn fetes
during the summer for the purpose OF
raising a fund for for its proposed
work and also to make a practical test
OF the value and appreciation of @
public square made application to
Mrs. l.. T. Patout, through her rep
resentative here for the use of he1
vacant lot between the home of Mrs.
Flora Schwing and the old Weeks
home. 1t was the purpose of the
League to clean up the ground, SOW
grass seed, put in comfortable bench
es. and otherwise improve conditions,
making it pleasant place or rest and
twice month give a lawn fete fer
the benefit of the League, In this
laudable effort, however they were
thwarted by the fact that at the time
OF the sale of the lot, Mr.. Hall was
pledged the exclusive use of the place
until sold and the frontage leased to
Mr.. Murray for purposes of a1vertis-
ing. Failing in this the League APP
piled to Mrs. Leopold Levy for the
use OF the lot adjoining her former
residence on East Main. This was
declired. So the matter perforce has
been dropped for the time. That the
City needs park, a breathing place
Of some sort no our denies. Who will
take the lead in the matter. The
League has no funds for so large an
undertaking, but if the City could see
its way to purchase the ground, they
will lends its best efforts towards it
identifying and care. Why not call
a mass meeting, not in hall, but in
the open somewhere and ask men
from all the different parts of town
to speak. What a fine idea it would
be for the town to secure property
large enough for a park or square and
a hotel site and then offer the site
to capitalists Oh terms that would be
an inducement to them to put up
modern Southern hotel, looking out
on the public square. We have just
such sites now, but in few years
where can we look for them?

Communication from Ex-Mayor
j. E. Dupuy.

Mr.. Editor-In view Of the fact
that the financial status Of the City
shows considerable indebtedness,
and in justice to several gentlemen
who participated in The recent mu-
nicipal campaign, deem it proper
to give publicity to the following
correspondence. The resources
upon which we placed reliance will
not materialize in full for the rea-
son that action has been taken to
defeat the payment of these licenses.
Because of this my administration
compromised some of the claims
for fifty per cent. The others are
in Court again. Had these licenses
been paid, the City would have re-
ceived Thirteen Thousand Dollars,
sufficient to pay all debts.
Yours truly,
JULES E. DUPUY.

DRAINAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

The past week of torrential rains
have disclosed great need, made
more pronounced owing to the great
discomfort, Inconvenience and positive
loss of land owners south of the South
ern Pacific Railroad embracing the
entire territory to the Gulf Marsh
line. We refer especially to the need
of drainage. There are several Drain
age Districts in existence, viz: The
Bayou Carlin Drainage District, The
New.Iberia Southern, ana the proposed
Petite Anse District, only one Of these
have as yet done any work, the Bayou
Carlin having dredged out considera-
BILE in districts that do not affect the
drainage nearer New Iberia, and thus
the vast territory of finest lands in
the South are left prey to flood rains
that must remain on the ground until
the sun evaporates them or the ground
absorbs it, during which slow process
the crops are destroyed, and the hon.
cSt OScIWOIktu ldIuci Iulucu duu
discouraged, although taxed heavily
for the purpose of making these canals
so far only on paper, which if carried
out as intended would give ample
drainage There is but one remedy
and that is for those who are COM
PEELED to live in these deluged Districts
to arouse themselves asserting their
rights, and demanding that drainage
shall be given them for their money,
or Auxiliary Districts formed restricted
in territory which could be easily OPP
Grated by some of the residents having
Landed interest in the drainage
There cannot be too many of these
Auxiliary Drainage Districts, as the
nature of the soil and topography of
the country demand q closer scrutiny
and more detailed attention than can
be given by board of directors for q
large district, who seldom can get
working quorum to transact business.
Unless our people make q deter
mined effort to secure drainage they
cannot hope for permanent relief.

Hon. Jules E. Dupxy.
Dear Sir-During the recent mu.
nicipal campaign, in which it was
my pleasure to engage actively in
your support, | made the public
statement that under your admins
tration the current expenses of the
City had been met promptly, and
the back Indebtedness had been
paid.
You know that | made such state
ments from the data given me by
you and others connected with the
City government. | also was thus
advised by the express terms of the
platform which you and the other
gentlemen who were candidates
signed and published.
! now learn professionally aud
from other sources that the inform
alton given me on those matters
appears incorrect. To have been
the medium of giving to the voters
an erroneous statement, however
innocently done, is a matter of
much concern to me. / have no
doubt but that the gentlemen who
furnished me, as we'll as the others
in the campaign with the data used,
had some basis, to them at least,
justifying their representations.
! would be very grateful if you
furnished me with a statement as
to the situation.
Very respectfully,
WALTER j. BURKE.

Mr.. Walter j. Blu, he:
Dear Sir-In reply to your letter
of even date, making inquiries as
to the statement furnished by my.
self and my fellow candidates or
the Dupuy ticket to you and others
engaged with US in the campaign,
| have to say that the statement
seemed justified by the resources Of
the city.
appreciate the fact that you
made your statement that the in
debtedness OF the City had been
paid, upon the information to
that effect given you and others by
me and others of the administra-
ton.
While it is true that these debts
had not been actually paid, my
associates and /, knowing that
there would be, as a resource with
which to pay the indebtedness, the
money due by the liquor licenses
for 1904, considered that we had
practically made provision for the
of the debts. We con-
sidered that through our admin
istration, the means with which to
liquidate these debts had been pro-
vided.
/ regret that the matter had not
been presented to You in that light,
but trust it will be appreciated that
we had good ground upon which to
rest our statement to You that the
debts had been paid.
| trust this explanation will be
satisfactory to you, and remain
rours truly,
JULES E. DUPUY.

pALIsADE mas NATIONAL BANK

As evidence of the faith that some
of our most influential citizens have
in the future growth and develop
ment of the palisade district the
Palisade National bank has been
organized with a capital of S25, 1000,
fully paid up. Many Of our most
wealthy and influential citizens will
be Interested and associated with
them Will be V. n. Reed, the Colorado
Springs capitalist. Mr.. Reed is heav.
ily Interested in the Grand valley and
is doing much to develop the re-
sources of the western slope. The
names that will appear as stock
holders will make it as strong bank
financially as any in the state.
The establishment of such fin
ancial institution in Palisade means
much for the future development OF
this end of the valley. The north
room of the new Purcell building has
been secured on long lease and
workmen will begin on the vault al
once. which will be pushed to com
pletion as soon as possible. The
management of the bank will be il
the hands of an experienced banking
man, and they expect to open for
business within thirty days.-Th'
