WELL WORTH CONSIDERING

Our Common Council viii have ere
long to consider the proposition made
to that body by Fred D. Underwood in
relation to the closing of street in
the First Ward of this city. We are of
the opinion that the request should be
granted for several reasons. Those of
our people who know Mr., Underwood
know that there is no place on earth
that he thinks SO much of as of Wau-
watosA. and they also know that he is
an honorable man in every respect,
and that he has signified his intensiors
of making this city his legal residence
and eventually his home. He has of
late spent considerable money to beau
tify that part of our city in which he
has built and that he will still continue
to make further improvements in this
locality. They also know that he is
man who would not do anything to
injure any person in Wauwatosa. He
is DESTROYS of furnishing to our people
both young and old place for recrea-
ton, and one that win be beautiful
and to have constructed thereon build
ings to protect all from storms and
make them comfortable as well. We
think that he means just what he says
in his letter which we published last
week.
Mr.. Underwood spends some time in
our cltg every summer and there is no
doubt ia our mind but that some day
he will be with us as permanent resi-
dent.
We say by all means close the street
and it will not be long before Wauwa
tosa viii have beautiful athletic park
and garden that will not be surpassed
by many cities ten times the size of
Wauwatosa.

NOW FOR A SKATING POND
Agitation on by Civic ASS ociatIon
and Citizens.

Agitation on by Civic Association
and Citizens.
The picture that pressed its lesson
home the deepest among the many
shown at John Nolen's timely lecture,
was that of child enjoying its full
rights 81 life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness And the words of the
lecturer accompanying this view met a
response in the heart of every person
who believes in the gospel of play, OF
wholesome, sport of optimism and of
real p.s gress.
Since the lecture our citizens have
been reawakened to the lack of suit
able and sufficient accommodations, for
the matchless winter fun of skating
for Young and grown.ups.
The executive committee of the Civic
Association wants this need supplied
as quickly as possible, and requests
that our citizens, grown ups as well as
boys and girls, get busy and report on
favorable location for a large rink that
may be flooded from time to time.
Look up all the vacant lots and level
spaces that are within reach of "a water
plug, and report to Mr.. Chas. Gillett,
secretary, or Mr.. Theo. M. Hammond,
president of the Association. Or leave
your reports at the office of the News.
Start your campaign of search at
once, for the time'to act is now. Every
citizen should be concerned in this
matter, for there is surely no demand
more urgent than to return to the
children and youth of Wauwatosa the
opportunity for skating Of which they
were robbed when the old dixie WAS
drained to make room for railway inn
provements.
More people of all ages can join in
the sport of skating than in any other
pastine, and a safe ample skating area
will be more appreciated than any inn
provement now within reach of our
efforts.

WANTED ON OCT. 7, $4,000
FOR THE BAPTIST ORPH-
ANAGE.

An effort will be made by the
Baptists of Louisiana to raise
$4,000 on October 7 for their state
orphanage at Lake Charles.
The workers over the State are
endeavoring to enlist every
church, Sunday school, ladies So
ciety and individual in the effort
which if done, will insure success.
This is an annual workday in
augurated three years ago, and
will be the third time it has been
observed by the fifty-five thou
sand Baptists of the State. This
idea is not new in orphanage
work, as it has been successfully
observed bp different religious
denominations in other states.
The plan is to get every midi
vidual interested TO give what
they earn on the one day set apart
for the effort, and send it in as
personal contribution.
Last year the Baptists of the
State raised between three and
four thousand dollars on Nov. 6,
which was the day observed for
the efSod, and are IhoHeful OF
raising $4,000 this year.
Louisiana people are a benevo-
lent people and are found ever
ready to contribute of their means
to all kinds of charity. Their love
for the orphan child in their mids'
is well attested by the support
given the many orphan homes in
the State. There are twenty sew
en- orphanages, children's homes
and nurseries in the State. with
combined number of three thou
sand inmates, kept up entirely by
charitable contributions. This in
itself represents quite benovo-
lent item. but when we take into
consideration the number of hos
pitfalls, homes for adults and chill
dren and homes for the infirm. we
find that quite a large amount is
given each year for charity by
Louisiana people.
Work for the orphan child is
worthy benevolence and the
Louisiana Baptist Orphanage at
Lake Charles has done q splendid
part by many boys and girls dur
ing the past ten years Of its work
1t is not only furnishing home
for from ninety to one hundred
children, but they are providing
training through well equipped
industrial plants which enable
their charges to leave the home
prepared for self-snpport.
With a well directed and
splendidly equipped home, and
provisions for educational and in
dustriah training. Louisiana Bap-
lists are doing work for the
orphan child that should com
mend itself to all, and it is to be
hoped they may raise the amount
Of money asked for on the 9TH
day Of October. Lake Charles

WHAT THE TAX WILL BE IF
VOTED.

The committee of gentlemen at
the head of the Panama Exposi-
ton Of New Orleans have sent
broadcast throughout the State of
Louisiana printed cards showing
TO the voters in the November
election, just exactly what the
holders of property in the coun-
try would pay according to their
individual assessment should the
tax be carried The tax that
viii be imposed on property in
the City of New Orleans will be
exactly double that of the coun-
try:
"1he man who owns a small
farm in the country will pay gle
cents per year against each 81 900
assessment A man whose place
is worth 5000 or $500 will have
an assessment of say 5000. His con-
tribution towards the exposition
fund through taxation will b. %
cents 81 year-less than the cost
of mailing one letter every month.
Should his assessment be So. 900 he
viii contribute toward the expo
sition fund 10 cents per month"
The following tabulation will
furnish an exceilen, idea as to the
amount of exposition taxes ,ha.
will be psid by the country prop
erty holder:

TRUE STATEMENT OF CON,
DITIONS.

New Iberia, Sept. 10, TO.
Editor Enterprise:
In your last issue you were
kind enough to publish commlln-
ication of mine published in the
New Orleans papers in which you
make me say that the four river
parishes contributed $206, 146. n to
the levee fund. when | did not say
Ianythrng of the kind. What |
did say was the four River Far
ishes contributed $169,315.54 and
the seven interior Parishes con
tributed &206. 1864. These sta
tistics was taken from the State
Auditors reports and | know are
correct and was given by me to
show that the interior Parishes had
contributed considerable more
than the River Parishes to the
building and keeping up the
levees than the River Parishes,
and that the River Parishes re-
ceivcd all the advantages. While
the interior parishs received none
and when they demanded the di-
vorcement of the Mississippi from
the Red and Atchafalaya Rivers
they were opp0sde by the Sena-
tors and Representatives OF the
River Parishes. When they asked
for the lcveeing Of the west bank
to protect our people from the
floods Of the Mississippi, they go
to work .on the east bank and
throw all the floods from the At
chafalaya on the farmers and peo-
pie of the Teche country, which
is doing great injustice to those
living on the Teche Another in
Justice to the people Of the Teche

WOULD BENEFIT NEW IBERIA

Through the interchangeable Ell
forts Of the Lafayette Pro
gressive League assurances ar,
given that the Southern Pacific
are seriously entertaining the
proposition of running a motor
line between New Iberia and the
above place for the benefit Of tho
students attending the Lafayette
Industrial Institute. The schedule
to be as follows if the line is put
in service:
The car to leave New IBERIA 7 a
m. for Lafayette, via Cade, Parks,
Breaux Bridge. arriving Lafayette
about $40 a. m. 1T will leave
Lafayette on the return trip at
$50 a. m. for New iberia. via
Breaux Bridge, Arnaudville,
Parks, St. Martinvile and Cade,
arriving at New Iberia about
II 80 p. m leaving New Iberia on
the second trip at ID p. m, for
Lafayette, arriving at Lafayette
about p. NJ, and will leave La
fayette for New Iberia at 30
p. m, arriving at 7 30 p. IN.
Would it not be a wise move on
the part of the merchants and 9th
er business men Of New Iberia TO
get busy and assist the Lafayette
citizens in inducing the Railroad
Officials to put the motor ears INTO
immediate service Trade will
necessarily be brought to this City
from each point along the route
and help to stimulate the bust
ness Of New Iberia which is bad
" needed at all seasons Of the
year. We have long since real
ized what a line like this would
be to New Iberia connecting us
with the country between here
and Morgan City as a feeder, the
same benefits would accrue, If not
more. were a motor line run on
schedule as is proposed between
Lafayette and this City Now is
the time to get busy and send in
a strong petition to the Railroad
Officials endorsing the move by
the progressive citizens OF our
neighboring City.
