AT last the people of New
Iberia seem to have awakened to
the need of internal improvements
that will put this community in
the rank of other towns that have
advanced in leaps and bounds as
a consequence. On Wednesday
night hundreds Of our fellow cit /,
liens and ladies. with the Civic :
League in full force, congregat- !
ed at the City Hall as per the in
vitation of the Mayor and Coun-
ell to meet and hear Mr.. George !
&. Earle, Superintendent Of the
New Orleans Sewerage system
lecture on the Importance Of good !
sewerage and fine drinking water
for New iberia. The gentleman
had with him a stereoptican ma
chine and threw on "a large can
vas dozens Of pictures Of the sew
erage system of that City which
was very instructive. His impress
sion Of New Iberia are that we
are so situated we would expert
ence little difficulty in installing
sewerage at a moderate cost and
get good drinking water from the
springs of Spanish
Lake, sufficient to answer all pur-
poses. His idea is tina. it would
be necessary to install stpt:c
tank which would destroy al i'm
purities Of the sewerage and we
would have no trouble in depos-
ting Of it into the Teche. He was
asked several questions by MEM
bers in the audience as to the rel
alive cost of a sewerage plant and
said that it was necessary to OBJ
tain the services of an engineer to
arrive at any basis whatsoever.
Those who had the pleasure Of
hearing him were well satisfied
with what they had learned and !.
from ali indications the people Of
New Iberia are determined that
our little City will not suffer much
longer in this respect. It was
pleasing to the gentlemen present
to see so many ladies out on that
occasion and with their influence
back of the officials, much good
IS bound to result in bringing this
natter to a realization.
