TO the Women Of New Ibcria:-

To the Women Of New IBERIA
We met by chance, the usual way,
. few Of New LIBERALS public spirited
women, (all tax pay ers. bye the bye.
| and the sanitary needs of our town
streets, etc. II was decided by them
that it seemed negligent, almost to
crir,inality, for earnest, intelligent
women to sit quietly by and watch the
said results, without lifting q helping
hand or voice for the improvement OF
conditions.
Good women are power when their
home and loved ones are endangered.
The green scum on our cutters which
are our open sewcrs); the fowl water
thrown from our water plugs upon our
gardens and streets, and, in some
cases. used in the bath, are no doubt a
prolific source Of trouble.
So. let the earnest good women Of
New IBERIA meet together on Thurs
day, Sept. 2lst. 1 O'Clock. City Hall.
and organize "Womans Civic
and the East End, Brooklin, and the
South town. Let every religious de-
be represented. AID those
whose faith consists in doing good TO
their fellow men. especially should be
there. Let each vie with the other in
bringing the best results. There
ought to be three or four hundred
members all told.
The officers should be suggested and
elected Mt the open meeting. The
committee signed only to call the good
women together for practical work.
SO. don't forget Thursday, Sept 2lst.

Through the courtesy of Mr.. Ed.
Estorge, on Thursday last, a de-
legation Of Iberians were taken to
st. Martinville in his automobile,
thus enabling New Iberia to be.re-
presented in and to take part in
the convention OF citizens of the
Attakapas, which was assembled
there for the purpose of discussing
certain improvements contemplate
ed for the streams of this section.
The meeting was called to order
by DR.. J. NJ. Olivier of st. Martini
vile, who stated the objects of
the meeting. He was made the
chairman Of the meeting and Mr..
j. ]. Burdin was chosen to act as
its secretary.
The meeting was evidently in
spired by State and Federal au-
thorities, Representatives of both
the State and United States En-
gineer Departments being in at
tendance.
Mr.. Dickey, Government Engineer
in charge Of the construction work
Of the Keystone Locks, now being
built in the upper Teche, was CALI
ed upon to address the meeting.
In the course Of his remarks he
made it evident that the U. 8. En-.
gineer's office for this district was
very much in ernest in the desire
to have certain improvements in
the Teche and Courtableau rivers
made. These improvements con-
sist in the entire enforcement of
the Courtableau from the Atchafa-
!aya ana the locking Of the Cour-
tableau at or near Port Barre in
order to raise the surface level Of
that stream some ten and d half
feet; the excavating of the head
Of the Teche to . depth sufficient
to allow the waters OF the Cour-
tableau to flow down the Teche;
the placing Of . second lock 1T or
near Arnaudville, in order to Sc
cure IN average depth OF water
in the Teche Of eight feet for it's
entire length. These improve
ments, II made, would secure year
round navigation in both the
Teche and the Courtableau and
would, by the increased depth,
volume OF water, and continuous
flow Of water in the Teche, relieve
this stream Of much Of its pollution
during long dry spells.
Maj r. n. Ker, Chief of State |
Board OF Engineers, in his address
which followed outlined the States |
interest in the contemplated inn
and stated that his de-
partment was in full accord with
the Government Engineers. He |
gave m idea Of the plans which
have been adopted by the State |
Engineers looking to the protec- |
lion OF the west bank Of the Atcha-
!alaya river from periodical over
lows BY the construction Of Z con-
Efnuous levee system, following the |
vest bank Of that river from it's
source to the high land on the lake
lhofe east Of Jeanerette. The
building Of this levee win Of neces-
'ity close the mouth Of the Cour-
.ableau. The waters Of this latter
