The Petrolithic Company o.
New Orleans, building the Mode
Road from this City to Jeanerett'
having extended an invitation tt
the people interested in their wore
TO meet with them today and III
spect the portion of the road tina
completed, many took advantage
of the opportunity and went iron
here by automobiles that were IL
waiting for the party. Up to the
present time there is not more
than three miles of the roadway
that is actually completed be
tween the two towns, the weather
being verv much against the con
tractors making better headwa,
with their undertaking. Fron
what we can hear those OF our cit
liens who have examined the roac
are perfectly satisfied with th(
material and drainage but tn,
plans should have been for roao
at least ten feet wider than what
we are receiving.

We had occasion to visit OIL
sister City of Jeanerette last
Tuesday, and observed the fallacA
OF a guard rail along the trolley
tracks as proposed by the City
Council of New Iberia owing 70
the damages to vehicles along ON
Main thoroughfare. Were the
Southwestern Traction Company
t, build wooden guard rails her.
we dare say in twenty-four hours
thereafter orders would be issued
to take them up at once. Once a
wagon or buggy gets its wheels i'll
between the tracks and guard rail
there is no earthly way to extri-
cate the vehicle without breaking
off wheel unless the team fol
lows the same path until the end
of ahe guard rail is reached. The
plan of the Company to pack eth
er side with Tioga gravel and
keep supply on hand at all times
when large ruts are made will
give much more satisfaction to
the people. -.

The Bull Moose meeting last
Sunday evening at the Pastime
Theatre was in point Of attend
ance a failure due to the inclement
weather which kept many away
from the meeting, the speakers
being Hon. John NJ. Parker, Har-
old Noise and William Polk
Judge John r. Davis of this City
called the meeting to ordes, intro.
ducing the different speakers
with a short impressive talk,
From what we learn they made
many converts to Roosevelt s
cause. During the morning OF
the same day a meeting was held
at Loreauville, the local speak
ers being Hon. John d. Wallet
and Judge Prince. Mayor of Lo-
reauwille.

When the two new school
buildings were erected in New
Iberia at each end of the City linn
its, many of our citizens were OPP
posed to the outlay Of money con
tending that there was ample
school facilities here already and
now we are confronted with the
fact that there is still not suffi-
cient loom in the present build
ings to conduct all Of the grades
as they should be without over
crowding the study rooms. The
sale Of the laBge building by the
Police Jury at the corner OF
Weeks and st. Peter Streets has
compelled the School Board to
rent the hall of iberia Fire Co. No.
? on Hacker street for the use o.
the Seventh Grade to the great
Inconvenience Of many pupils
vho reside at each end of the
City limits. Either an addition
will have to be made to the High
School building on st. Peter street
or a new Central building will
have to be erected at an early
date to meet the demands Of the
patrons Of the public schools OF
New iberia.

Several complaints have come
to us of late with respect to the
unnecessary whistling Of the mills
in this City every morning, wax
ing The people up from their slum-
Der at an hour when rest is en-
joyed the most and which is a
terrible strain on sick people who
happen to reside near these mills.
Almost every morning between
the hour Of four-thirty and five
o clock whistles are blown that
wake up the neighborhood and
when there is sickness in the
household it is very distressing
to the patients who happen to be
within the sound of the blast. 1t
strikes us that nearly every en-
