THE MClLhENNY ROAD.

Some tipc since We published IN
account of the proposition Of Mr.. Ed.
McIlhenpy to build . shell road from
this City to the Avery Island indus
tries. The matter was 1T once acted
upon by the Police Jury, . COMMITTEES
Of that body being appointed to secure
the right of way and to take the pre-
liminary steps to securing this much
coveted public utility.
We trust the committee has not be-
come tired or discouraged, We should
be pleased to hear from them as to
what status the work has reached,
and what the prospects are for its
completion. So wake up, committee
men and let us hear from you that
good work is being done.
Since writing the above We are
panied to hear that our country
friends positively refuse to give OF
sell rights of way for this much need
ed road.

A CHARMING AFFAIR.

New iberia should be much indebt-
ed to those delightful hostessesa who
are willing to take the time to devise
varied and interesting entertainment
for their guests. On Tuesday after
noon Mrs LeDCux Smith gave one Of
her always charming affairs Although
the rain fell heavily, there We're Ger

A BOARD OP TRADE.

New iberia is without any organ
ization formed for business purposes
only. Our Progressive League has
lapsed into inocuous desuetude and
with not much prospect of revivica-
ton. 1t therefore seems to be ne
cessity that Board Of Trade should
be organized to look after the q inter-
ests of our town 1t should be strict
ly non -partizan, non political and de-
City. Its scope should embrace pub
lie improvements, such as railways,
paving of streets, good roads leading
into the City, hotels, opera houses
and the encouragement Of immigra-
ton and capital to enter our domain
and become identified with US in
everything that develops a City and
surrounding country. These are only
q few Of the matters that a Board of
Trade might exploit. 1t would be
within it's province to work for low
or rating Of the town with respect to
Fire Insurance. Many complaints are
made by our property holders in this
respect, as the rates have been ad-
vanced in some instances one hundred
per cent. over the rates OF q few
months ago. With strictly nom
political organization, q Board OF
Trade could do much to advance the
financial, industrial and agricultural
interests Of our City. Let the or
ganization be formed without delay.

REGULAR MEETING OF THE Pc.
LICE JURY

New IBERIA, La, Jan. 4, 1906.
The Police Jury met this day in regular
session, with President pro tenn Lemaire
and all the members present except Mr..
Geo. J. Labau.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read and adopted.
A communication from the eye, ear,
nose and throat hospital were read and on
motion of Mr.. Dallas, duly carried, tabled
until next meeting.
DIR. J. w. Sanders submitted his annual
report as Parish Coroner and also turned
over to the Board mis- check for Seven dol

on December 18th, 1905.
Report was unanimously adopted.
On motion of Mr.. Romero, duly secon-
ded and carried, the matter of repairing
Court House floor was referred to commit
tee on building.
The following written report was read
and adopted, owit
New Iberia, La, Jan. 3, 1906.
To the President and Members of Police
Jury. Iberia Parish, La.
Gentl0nen-We, the undersigned mem
bers of your committee appointed to look
into the bridge crossing Bayou Teche at
the East End of New Iberia, beg leave to
report.
That We have made careful investiga-
ton and find that the present bridge,
though dangerous to cross. has been a
great convenience to people living just
across the Bayou, people of Loreauville,
as we'll as to the people of New Iberia
wishing to go to Loreauvifle, Morbihan
and other points along this road. And
especially to the school children living
across the bayou and attending school in
New Iberia.
In our opinion it would now be a great
carry out your intention of building a sub
stantial bridge at this point. 1t would
not only be a great convenience to the
public, but would relieve the road leading
to Duperier Avenue, in the center of the
town. which has always been very expen-
sivs. and difficult to keep up owing to the
great amount of traffic over it.
Trusting that you will give this due
consideration and decide to build the
bridge, we beg to remain,
Yours truly,
A. b. NICHOLSON.

Another Navy Scare.

There are efforts just now to get
up another of the periodical scares
about the condition of the American
navy. 1t is good to remember that
the one time when the American
navy always comes up 10 the scratch
in fighting trim, perfectly capable
of keeping away from the rocks and
peculiarly apt in getting at the
enemy, is in time of war.
Rear Admiral Mason, head of the
Bureau of Ordnance, is fearful that
unless the S12,OOo,OOO that has been
cut ont by the Rouse Is restored,
there will not be means to main
tain a reserve of ammunition and
keep up target practice Target
practice isewhat has made the Amer
lean navy the most competent in
the world for the real business of
fighting. 1t ought not to be inter-
fered with. and probably viii not be.
Colonel Hepburn the other day
made a speech about the tendency
Of our warships to get into unnec-
cssary trouble, and there was
good deal of this sort of opinion
aired during the discussion of the
SlO,OOO,00O battleship proposition.
Much of the criticism is unfair;
some of it is justified. But, after
all, Congress is as much to blame
as anybody for some of the most
unfortunate conditions in the navy
The undermining of vessels and
the impossibility of getting young
men to go into the naval service
certainly are evils that could be
remedied if the service were made
sufficiently attractive. Congress
should permit more money to be
paid to the men of the navy. There
should be substantial rewards for
special fitness among gunners and
other experts IN the service, and in
every possible way it should be
made attractive
Of one thing the navy people
ought TO be satisfied by this time.
The era of great and increasing
naval expansion in this country is
nearing an end. The discussion of
the proposition for the big battle
ship and the close vote on the item,
together with other evidences of
growing conservatism about naval
expenditures, ought to make this
plain. All the naval powers would
be glad of an example of modera-
tion. If the United States, which
everybody knows can afford better
than any other power to keep right
on building, would set the example
of 'tapering off" other powers
would be glad TO accept it as an
invitation TO do likewise. And there
is no doubt of an increasing dispo-
sitiOn in this country to slow up on
building naval vessels. Fewer new
ships and greater efficiency in man
agement of those we have is likely
soon to be the watchword of those
who direct naval policy.
