New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1907-01-19
GRAND JURY REPORT.

= about four o'clock entered court
/ and presented its final report
l through its foreman MIR. F. 6.
BlumenthaI. 1t had found &c
no true bills and 20 true bills
but as it says:
he number of no true bills,
and true bills is not true index
) to the number OF cases submit
ted, owing TO the fact that many
charges were of long standing
andmany of the witnesses could
not be located by the officers,
and We would suggest that more
diligence upon their part might
result in better attendance of
witnesses" Continuing the re-
port says:
PUBLIC ROADS.
In the matter of the public
roads, we made no report, for
the reason that the Police ury
has only at the beginning of
this year framed out to contrac-
tors the repairs of the Public
Roads and as yet it is too early
to report their progress although
good practical results are to be
hoped from this business like
innovation.
| SCHOOLS.
eanerette High School
The condition of this School
was found fairly good: Fence
in several places have pickets
broken walks to out-houses
require repairing; no provision
for drainage of grounds, except
a badly layed tile pipe drain to
the right of main entrance.
The attendance of Pupils at
this School is now up to the
full capacity OF the teachers, and
an additional teacher is neces-
sary especially for the session
of I9o7-oS: every room is in
use, but one room is at present
used as a recitlng room and
could be furnished with the nee
essary desks and the additional
teacher installed therein in
support of the above assertion
we would state that not less
than six children have been re-
fused admission to this school
during the past week, and as
the demands for admission will
no doubt continue, that even
with an additional teacher, in
the very near future an addition
shall have to be made to this
building, or another school
building erected elsewhere in
Jeanerette. The provisions for
sanitation are not good, and we
recommend that sanitary closets
be installed.
"StewartSchool This school
house on the road leading from
Olivier TO eanerette, is in
very delapidsted condition
then nor since this building was
erected, it has never received a
single coat of paint either exter-
nally or internally; the gate is /,
off its hinges the fence is down {
in several places, cover of els
tern broken and unscreened,
and the out-houses have the
same delapidated condition and |
as the school house. 4
"New iberia Central High s
chool.-Concerning this hand
some structure that should be |
the pride and ornament OF New e
iberia we find that the fences q
it are in most della d
pidated condition-the out. z
houses out of repair and woe b
tully lack sanitary attention G
the galleries and ratings in the c
upper part of this building are
80 frail and weakened as to ac-. {

he lives of the pupils who u
play upon and use them. j
The interior of the school is a
n fair preservation. but in our a
Judgement, the entire building $
ind its out-houses need most d
thorough overhauling and the .
attention of the School Board of Ii
he Parish is most urgently il
allied to this matter. il
CouRT HOUSE AND JAIL.
"The Court House seems in d
air condition for its uses, but f,
We find that carpets for the a
Court room are sadly needed n
nd again, as did our predeces- b
ors, we appeal to the Police 81
ury to have removed at once IL
he shabby covering OF the a
court room and the substitu- OIL
ion of a new and durable carpet. e.
"The Jail, We find to be in q in
air condition, well ordered and al
