A MOTOR LINE.
We take tho following from the
New Iberia special to The Times


We take tho following from the
New Iberia special to The Times
Democrat of last Sunday
1.-THE New Iberia, st. Mary and
Eastern Railroad 10 preparing to
begin construction, and by July it
is expected that the proposed mo-
tor line that is to skirt the bayou
will be running in to Jeaneretts.
Forces of laborers are being trans.
fsrred from the other end of the
line that runs to Port Barre and
actual construction work will be-
gin shortly. This motor line will
extend eventually to Morgan City,
and perhaps to New Orleans. 1t
will be nearer the bayou than the
Southern Pacific. and a. it is sup
posed to be a feeder to the Frisco
line, will compete for the business
of that part of the sugar district"
From the above, We must sup
pose that the branch line for which
we are asked to vote a five mill
tax for ten years is to connect with
this motor line, and not with an
extension of the line of the New
Iberia and Northern Railroad
from Parks to New Iberia, aud DO
made part of the Main line, as
mentioned and believed many of
our people.
Why should not the promoters
of this railroad come to our peo-
pie and tell them exactly what we
are offered for our tax of $3O,5OO.
We must know positively and
the ordinance calling for tho tax
must specify exactly and fully
what We are offered, We cannot
vote . tax for a railroad without
knowing positively what we are
going to got.
If it is to be a part of the motor
system, let it DO said, it ouly lit
tie independent branch from St.
Martinville to New Iberia, we
must know it, as We are satisfied
that our people will not vote a tax
for any such branch line.

THE SUGAR REFINERY

The sugar refinery question 10
again before our people and with
prospects much brighter than they
have ever boon presented to our
people.
Those who have in mind the
erection of this refinery realize
that this is about the best location
in tho state for a central refinery.
Nearly all the cane grown
around st. Martinville is shipped
TO distant retinesist by rail and
water, We have the best facilities
here to receive tho cane, and if the
Cypress Island Canal 10 used and
extended a few miles towards
Cypress Island, which can be done
at a very small cost, refinery at
or near St. Martinville, could ham
die about ono hundred thousand
tons of cane in the course of the
next two years. Our ability to
produce cane is unlimited. aud in
tho next two years We are satisfied
that with q mill at this place every
acre of idle land on the west of
st. Msrtinville would be put un-
der cultivation and be made to
produce good paying crops, as they
are our best land even If q little
heavier to work.
This matter of the refinery will
now rest with tho planters, tho
cane growers, if they arc willing
to take an interest in tho plant,
which will be strongly to their in.
tsrest to do, they can have the re-
fnery, il they refuse to take the
proper interest, they cannot ex-
poet to have the refinery, tho re-
finery must have tho cane that
will be grown around it, and the
refinery must give thu best inter-
est to planters.
A refinery here would be to the
interest of both, refinery and cane
growers, ss the cane growers pay
the freight to carry their cane to
the distant re6neries, which is
about IS OTIS per ton and this
amounts to q large sum of money
each year.
