erected in the little town of LO-
reauvlle, the construction OF same
to begin as soon as the material

The building will be Of pressed

tircly different from anything in

The farmers are now com
| planning of too much ram, It be-
my impossible to keep the grass
out Of the crops, which at TN S
time need dry weather. The coun-
try has been visited almost daily
with heavy downpours, which
will initiate against the farmer
very much. Even the rice crop
will! be hard to harvest unless
| there is a ceceSSatIon OF ram very
soon in the Attakapas Parishes.

The Water and Electric Light
Board were called together last
Tuesday to receive the bids Tor
the furn shing Of new pump Tor
the Plant. Whilst the bids were
opened and prices obtained the
Board very properly deferred the
acceptance of any bid until they
look into the merits of the pumps
offered for the use Of the Pant.
The Board should take It's time
before accepting any bid as the
matter of a couple OF hundred
dollars should not stand IN the
way Of securing the best, winch
is always the cheapest IN the long
run.
The first rice of the season
was shipped the latter part of
last week to New Orleans by Mr.
Philip Conrad. the successful rice
grower of this Parish, followed
~ another large shipment last
Friday. The harvesting OF tins
cereal will soon be very active
in this Parish if the rains will dis
continue long enough to permit
the farmers to get to work. Mr..
r. L. DelahOussayc, 50 we are IN
| formed will commence cutting MS
rice the latter part Of next week
and from that time on the Vocal
mill here of Mr.. Jules Dreytus
will begin operations for the sea
son. This mill has doubled its ca
pacity and is in shape to handle
more rice than has even been
milled here before.
| Commissioners Romero has
had his squad of men at work
| in different parts Of the City,
cutting the grass out OF the ditch
es and otherwise opening the
/ drains, particularly in the east
ern section of the City. From
our observations there is entirely
100 few drains in New Iberia to
carry off the surplus OF rain wa
Her which necessarily lies dormant
Hong enough to become cesspooI
land breeder Of mosquitoes and
other germs as well as destroying

i is high time now that New iberia
employ an engineer that would
lay off a system Of perfect dram
