Mr.. George Taylor Of the

tractors for the proposed Model
Road to be constructed IN the
lower limits OF the City was III
New Iberia This week III consulta-
ton with the Mayor relative to
the delayed work. We are IN
formed by His Honor, Mayor
Power that he has positive III
formation that twenty cars OF
Tioga gravel is being loaded on
cars with New Iberia as It's des-
fination and That as soon as the
supply reaches here the work
will be resumed. We sincerely
hope, with others who reside III
that section of New Iberia that
the work will soon be underway.
As conditions are at present IL
is almost impossible to use the
a reefs at all and almost daily
teams are seen literally begged
and unable to move one way or
the other, often resulting nl
/ broken wagons.
Lass Wednesday, Messrs. John
ID. Valet and }. j. Burdln, spc-
cial representatives from Iberia
and st. Martin Parishes, APP
peared before the Atchafalayd
Levee Board in session at Baton
Rouge and secured an approprla
ton of $4,000, payable in three
annual installmcnts of 500, 900 Tor
the construction Of "a levee from
Port Barre to some point Oh Ba-
YOU Teche, between Jeanere'tc
and Clarendon. The building OF
a levee along the East Bank OF
/ the Atchafalaya River which has
been in progress for the past sew
eral years, has reclaimed a Vas'
area in the other Parishes to the
detriment of Iberia, St.Marln ana
st. Mary, large sections OF which
are yearly Inundated by the over
flow waters from the River, al
though these three Parishes have,
for many years, contributed their
full quota of taxes for the proper
control OF these waters. 10 REM
edy these evils, the Police JurIcs
Of IBERIA and St. Martin sent
Messrs. Wallet and Burdin to. ask
.e.ief from the Leyee Board.
SO well was the mission per-
formed, that the appropriation Sc
cured will construct the proposed
Ievee and render possible the cui-
tivation Of large territory, com
prising some of the most fertile
lands in the STATE, thereby enrich
ing the owners and, mcidently,
adding much to the public treas
ury.
