SUGGESTION FOR LIGHT.
New Iberia, La, July 1, 1906.
EDITOR ENTERPRISE LEADER:

YIN CAH l. bftI'hlob bEaDEG.
Dear Sir
Mr.. Millard's able editorial il
the 'lberian" of June 30, throw
u much needed light on the Elec
trio Light matter. and clearl!
shows that the plant has ample
capacity to furnish the city will
arcs, care for it's regular Gus
toners, and have about a thou
sand lights to the good.
l know that Mr.. Willard goes
most thoroughly into details, anC
L am sure that he is prepared
with ample proof of what he
says, and knows whereof he
speaks, and while from the lin
tied information at my command
l had been under the impression
that neither the Council nor the
Water works Board had been &c
blame, and that it was simple
case of demand for light outrun.
ming the supply, | gather from
Mr., Millard's article that there
is really sufficient capacity in the
plant, and can see that he feels
that the trouble has been incom-
petent or neglectful management
or both.
This is a very serious charge
to lay at the door of the Water
and Light Board, and | believe
that Mr.. Willard almost hints
that politics has more to do with
the situation than any incapacity
in the plant.
have a suggestion to make
which ought to be acceptable to
all parties.
Let Mr.. Dupuy be asked to va
cate his place, pending results,
and Mr.. Willard be placed in
charge of the plant as manager
with the support of the whole
board pledged to him on honor.
Then will our troubles melt
away like mist under summer
sun. Mr.. Willard has earned the
good will of the Council, and
they will be entirely satisfied
with the arrangement. Mr.. Mil
lard's capacity for detail will
stand him in good stead, and he
will get the plant organized and
upon satisfactory ba-
sis, and being inside, and in
charge will permit the people to
forget the bitterness endanger-
ed by the election of year ago
asst April, and the wounds will |
speedily heal.
If Mr.. Willard has, as he
should, confidence in his state
nents he will promptly accept
temporary charge of the plant,
md if he is right the trouble is
'ver. If he is not correct, he
will have an accurate personal
knowledge of conditions, and
an in decency no longer continue
var upon Board which he will
hen know to be doing right,
nd in any case the best interest
t the town, and of justice and
ruth will benefit.
A m onths rest will do Mr.. Du- f,
NY good, and a months change
{ work will rest Mr.. Willard.
lie should have the salary while
cting) and the dove of peace /,
ill breed over our community.

CANAL FOR SEWAGE.

| he question as to whether
any of the citizens are connec-
ting with the drains of the City
to carry off their sewage was
discussed in the street TODAY,
but no definite information
could be obtained. 1t was stated,
however that if thorough
search mere made it would be
proved that there are cases OF
this kind i'll the City.
That the sewers are needed is
admitted by nearly every one.
That they should be built at an
early date is also conceded but
the officials have not taken the
matter up as yet.
One of the problems to be
solved is as to the outlet. 1t is
one of the most important
points to be decided, but it is
stated that arrangements could
be made in very short time to
obtain a sewage canal or a canal
through which the sewage could
90 into the Cult without the OBJ
lection of Uncle Sam.
MIR. A. B. Romero who has
had great deal of experience
with the drainage canals of this
Parish said today that for an
outlay of not more than s., 1000
an outlet could be had very
quickly.
At present a canal is
being made in the Jack
Coulle. In a short time the
contractor.will be finished with
his work and could move his
to the PEBBLES Cou-
lie which. would carry off the
sewage from the City for ages
and the entire cost would be but
a small sum. This canal could
be extended to point just be
low the Big Jim aid there it
could be tapped by the sewers
of the City.
1t is probable that the people
along the coulie would pay a !
part of the expense of making
the drainage canal and that
would leave but the sum OF
about S 5000 to be furnished by
he City.
According to indications the
natural fall of the land of the
-ity is in the direction of the
head of this canal.
here would have to be no ex-
ended outlet made TO accommo-
late the flow, and it would re-
leve the situation at once for it
ould be constructed in a very
hort space of time.
A canal once established for
n outlet would be followed up
~ the connections with the
ouses and even the surface wa
er could be taken off that way {
nd thus relieve the Bayou.
Mr.. Walter Byrnes, of New
1exico who was visitor to the
,ity yesterday said that even in I
ne new towns of the new coun- I
y provisions are being made
n sewers. The people there
elieve that one OF the first re-
llsite for a city is health and
lthout sewers they did not be- a
eve this could be had. G
In Southern States where the {
Gather is warm he thought it ?
the more necessary that there q
ould be sewers. Il

RAILROAD WORK DELAYED.

Owing to the fact that it has
been found necessary to change
the grade and line of the Cen
trail Railroad OF Louisiana work
has been stopped, especially as
regards the grading. 1t is
learned upon the best authority
that it is probable that the work
will be resumed at an early date,
possibly within thirty days, OF
Immediately after new lines have
been established.
Just where these changes are
to be made is not made public
yet but it is within the range OF
possibilities that the distance
between Crowley and New Ibe-
ria will be shortened, that the
line will be changed near Lees
vile so as to decrease the grade
and that a new crossing may be
provided for Grand Lake.
Since it would be impossible
to 60 on with the grading with
out loss until these new lines
have been absolutely fixed the
contractors have stopped work.
But within a very short time is
expected that new locating par
ties will be at work and that
when grading is renewed it will
be with doubled force OF teams
all along the uncompleted line.
There is about twenty-five
miles of the roadbed between
here and Grand Lake ready for
the steel and it is probable that
the change will not affect this
portion of the route, but to the
west, it is known that some dis
tances might be lesscned and
the future operation of the road
made less expensive.
While the delay may seem
great now, it is probable that the
road will be finished long qe-
fore the time set forth in the
charter and that before many
days the selection of site for
the terminals and round house
will be actively under way.

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.

Among those present at the
Board of Trade meeting Thurs
day night were Messrs. n. f.

r. S. Mcmahon, &C. Henshaw
Geo. w. Dallas, Jules K. BIan-
Chef, Robert Perry, !. w. Eek
art, DR.. Albert Emmer, Mr.. +.
G.. BIumentnaI.
The Committee on the St.
MartinviIIe Road reported that
they had gone over the entire
line of the proposed road and
found that it presented a feast
BILE route. he Committee also
went to the property owners IN
St. Martins who decided the
right OF way to the Committee,
so that the right of way in this
Parish only needs to be OBJ
tanned.
| he Committee was CONT
nued and instructed TO search
the title, to obtain other rights
of way, to follow up the move
ment to get the road as soon as
possible.
Nh. Blumenthal said for
mer estimate was that 1t would
cost about $1,000 to $500 to
build the road. This estimate
was obtained when he was a
member of the Council.
Mr.. Robertson called at
tentlon to long road near
Segura 70 Spanish Lake which
could be shortened by going
straight along the railroad. If
the Police Jury would deed the
road back TO the owners, the
owners might deed the land for
a straight road.
The same Committee was APP
pointed to act in this matter.
Mr.. Mcmahon brought up
the Plaquemlne lock question,
and thought that the people
ought to take great interest in
the investigation. He suggested
that a committee ought to be
appointed to 60 before the in
vestlgatlng committee. The
subject, however, was continued
until later meeting. Mr..
! ohm K. Taylor was elected
member of the Board of Direc-
ors and Second Vice President.
Mr. Blanchet moved that a
committee OF 7 be appointed to
Increase the membership of the
Board.

TO SHORTEN ROUTE.
The Board oil Trade throug

at the last meeting has opene
the way for a road leading to S
| Martinvlle, over which ther
will be no toll and which will b
about four miles shorter tina
the present route.
The advantage which thi
road will confer upon New Ibe
ria and also upon the resident
of St. MartinvilIe is so grea
that now that the way it prepar
ed every effort should be mad
to carry out the project.
1t was stated at the last meet
of the Board that the proI ert,
owners along the proposed roac
were willing to give the RICH
of way and a committee was APP
pointed to see If this were so
The committee consisted o
Messrs. ]. w. Eckart, 4. f
Delhommer, p. A. Landry anc
J. Blanchet.
These gentlemen went over
the proposed road several times
and were satisfied that with very
little expense road that would
save the people thousands OF
dollars and many hours could
be established. Such a road
they concluded would shorten
the distance between the two
cities by at least three and a
half to four miles and besides
it would do away with the tolls
that prevent free intercourse.
The property owners were in
tervIewed and it was found that
some of them were willing to
have the road go through their
property without cost and that
it would be necessary probably
ty obtain the rest of the right of
way by appropriation.
Monday evening the committee
with DIR. Emmer and Mr.. Das-
pit, notary, visited Mr.. Oeze-
me Segura in St. Mortln's Par
ISL and Mr.. Segura was public
spirited in the extreme. He not
only decided the right OF way to
Inc representatives of the Board
Of Trade, but gave the grantees
he right of choice between two
'outes. One, straight route
passes through marshy ground,
md the other, triAe longer, is
IN high land. If the latter i,
:hosen the whole charge will be
nut SIS. If the other the cost
viii be nothing.
The right of way disposes of
he route so far as St. Martins
'arish is concerned. In this
'arish it may be that expropria-
on proceedings will have to be
tarted to cover distance of
bout three acres. This action
i'll be taken soon if required.
In talking of the matter this
corning Mr.. Eckart, Secretary
1anager of the Board OF Trade i

lad were made. 1t would
