NEW HOTEL FOR NEW
IBERIA.

Unless the unforeseen happen
New Iberia will within the next
eight months be the proud pos
SCISSOR of an hotel that other CIT
les twice THE size Of this Clty
could well feel proud. The cree
ton of a modern hosiery mas
been agitated by many OF our CIT
liens for the past five years, put
for unaccountable reasons the
matter would be allowed to drop,
only to be discussed again ana
again. We are pleased to report
that our venerable and esteemed
citizen, Mr.. Felix Patout, has at
ter due consideration, decided to
have constructed a modern three
and possibly four-story hotel to
cost $1,000 on the old homestead
property of the late William Rob-
erlson, upper Main Street, at
present owned by his daughter,
Mrs. Mary Lamb of New York.
The site is an ideal one for bus
mess of that nature, the land hav-
ing a frontage Of one hundred ana
twenty-eight feet on Main Street.
Within the next five days the
property will be adjudicated to
the new owner and ere a few
weeks the old building will be
entirely demolished to make room
for the sixty room hosiery,
something that will be an orna-
ment ito New iberia for the next
twenty-five years. A first-class
hotel will be the best advertise
ment this City could receive and
hundreds of travelling men that
make their headquarters at Alex
andria, Lake Charles and other
towns will take advantage OF the
opportunity to receive the proper
accommodations here and make
New Iberia their stopping place
in the future. Mr.. Patout is to
be commended for his business
sapacity and we have reasons !"
believe the venture will pay hand
somely under good management.

BONDS FOR ROAD PURPOSES

Tuesday, September the 10th is
the date set for the election to
take the sense Of the property
holders Of the Parish authorizing
the Police Jury to. issue bonds to
the extent Of One Hundred and
Eighty Thousand Dollars to car
~ on in q systematic and efficient
manner the construction Of model
roads ON every foot Of public
highway in the Parish Of Iberia.
These bonds are to be retired out
of the general funds only, within
the next twenty years. From
general information given us some
Of the taxpayers are under the
erroneous impression that an ex-
ira levy Of taxes win be placed
upon their property were the
election carried. This is not the
intention Of the Police Jury, that
Body simply asking that they be
authorized to float bonds on the
present assessment which would
enable them to get sufficient mon
ey to proceed to first drain every
road in the Parish in scientific
manner with the aid of q skillful
engineer and then to take up
road building with competent
road man in charge. 1t is not the
intention to give out road con-
tract as was done in the instance
of the Jeanerette Model Road in
one lump sum, though ultimately,
when that thoroughfare is conf
pleted every user of that road
will be more than satisfied with
the investment, the amount to be
expended coming solely from the
apportionments allowed the
Wards through which the road is
to be built, rumors to the con-
trary notwithstanding.
The matter of good roads is OF
universal Importance and never
in the history Of the country has
this important question OF good
highways met with more favor
than at present and it behoovcs
all the citizens Of Iberia who use

many Of our citizens that a few
days after his well earned promo
ton, his friends got together and
planned a royal welcome for him
which could not be carried out,
owing to an urgent call demand
ing his presence at once in Wash

disappointment to all Iberians.
Now that he will be our guest
next Friday, let the welcome be
one that a faithful son should
have reasons to feel proud and we

will leave nothing undone
to make the affair one of the
grandest ever witnessed in New

to any law suit. but entirely pre-
Permitting the question as TO
whether or not the Police Jury
can now igndre lhis ordinance
and levy tax upon the property,
there is something more involved
than the mere ability to thus dis
regard the promise or pledge
made in the ordinance. 1t is a
matter Of good faith between the
Parish Of Iberia, through it's rep
resentatives, the Police Jury, and
the citizen who acted upon it ana
built a factory. We think when
your Honorable Body comes to
consider the matter in this light,
that YOU will authorize the reduc-
ton of the assessment and place
it back to where it was before the
improvements were made. This
would be just and fair between
the parties and would have the
effect of assuring any persons
who desired to erect factory or
an enterprise Of that character in
your Parish, that they could alb
solutely rely upon the good faith
of the Police Jury in carrying
out their promises.
We are sending copy of this
letter to your Attorney. OF
course, we feel sure that he has
advised you conscientiously as to
the law, but without discussing
the question at all as to whether
or not his opinion upon the law is
right Or wrong, until some third
person forces you to violate the
agreement entered into under and
by virtue of your resolution, We
think that you ought not to at
tempt to ignore it.; in other words,
we do not think you ought to do
voluntarily what you might be
forced to do against your will.
Would be pleased to hear from
you after reconsideration of this
question.
Yours very truly,

TO the Honorable President ana
Members Of the Police Jury of
the Parish Of Iberia:
Dear Sirs-Our client, The
Segura Sugar Company, Limited,
presents TO us two ordinances, one
Of date November 5, 1908, and
another of date January 6. 1910,
in which the Police Jury in the
first instance--that is, on Novem-
Der 5, 190S-enacted an ordi-
nance which reads as follows:
1st. That all sugar factories
erected between now and the 1st
day Of January 1910, shall be ex-
empted from the payment Of Par
ish' taxes for period of ten
years.
I'd. That all sugar factories in
Iberia Parish, already built
which shall have it's capacity
doubled between now and Jan
uary LIST, 1910, shall have that por-
ton consisting of the improve
ments exempted from payment of
Parish taxes for ten years.
This ordinance was re-enacted
on January 6, 1910.
Acting upon the faith Of the
validity of this ordinance and of
its faithful performance by the
Police Jury of The Parish Of Ibe-
ria, the Segura Sugar CO., ltd,
doubled the capacity of its rein
cry and made it 1000 ton house
instead of 1000. They now inform
lis that there is an effort being
made to assess and collect taxes
on these betterments and improve
ments. This factory does not
make any threat with reference
