FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

Editor Enterprise
Dear Sir-In view of the fact
that your efforts looking to the
bettermcnt of New iberia and vi
entity have been many and partlc-
ularly in advocating so strenuous
~ through the columns of your
paper. the voting of the special
tax for the New Iberia & Northern
Railroad. | am prompted to ad-
dress you.
In glancing over the time card
of this Railroad some few days
back, it impressed me as now ope-
rated aside from the competing
and accommodating features little
benefit has been derived. ! dare
say that other considerations were
in view when the New iberia
mrchants and property holders
voted this tax. There is no doubt
but what possibility of securing
the business Of the numerous vii
Hayes along this route was one rea
son why the tax was carried. New
iberia is the "logical point and
should get all that is coming to
her. The vast amount Of business
that is naturally ours is possibly
going elsewhere The people be-
tween here and Port Barre must
90 somewhere or send somewhere
for what they need. AS it is now
the "layover" is in New Iberia
the train arriving here at four
o clock p. m. and leaving at I 80
a. m. the next morning. the hours
here are those that would hardly
afford time for purchasing, conso-
quently few from those points are
observed on our streets.
Would it not be to our advant-
age to use our efforts to have the
officials of that road make a
change and have the "stay-over
at the other end of the hnel Those
living along this route. if the
change was made would be enabled
should they so desire to visit our
town to do their shopping and be
home by night This is quite a
factor to the growth of any com
munity. and in view that efforts
are being made "to hold our own
so that we will not be in the "also
ran" class when next Uncle Sam
comes around to count us, !
thought that possibly if this was
called to the attention of the rail
road officials it would meet with
their approval. and if put into ope-
ration. would rebound to the ben
eft Of this community.
