"A number of years since
when New Iberia had only a pop
ulation of about $500 souls, there
was operated by the City Faith
ers a public sprinkling wagon III
Zines of drouth which was a gen.
eraI relief to the pedestrians.
Cannot something be done at an
early date to abate the nuisance
and relieve the people OF inhallng
all of the germs of Main Street,
and more especially the shell dust
that is blown from all directions.
On Sunday morning last it was
almost impossible to navigate
Main Street, the wind was SO
strong and hundreds Of our peo-
pie kept in doors rather than
breathe the clouds of shell dust
that was in the air. 1t strikes
us that a public sprinkling wa
gon could be operated with little
cost if the City Fathers would as
sist the citizens in this matter and
not only would the people enjoy
better health, but thousands OF
dollars would be saved to the
goods on display in the business
houses. Other communities much
smaller than New iberia see the
advantage of a sprinkling wagon
and New Iberia could have a wa
gon operated if concerted action
were taken by the good citizens
NO DEBT CAN BE PAID
more easily or satisfactorily
than a loan from the
