INLAND WATERWAYS.

On Tuesday forenoon, at the call OF
Mr.. Jules Dreyfus, the president OF
the New Iberia Board of Trade, Il mass
meeting OF the citizens OF this place
was held at the court house, for the
purpose of hearing Messrs. Henri l..
Gueydan and Leon Lock, the presl-
dent and secretary respectively OF the
Louisiana Division of the Interstate
Inland Waterways Association, on the
question of the getting the right OF
way through the coastal sea marsh OF
this parish for the construction OF the
great Intercoastal Canal There were
over fifty Of the leading business men
hear the gentlemen.
Both the visitors had been in close
confer euce with Maj. E. H. Schulz,
Chief of Engineers in charge of this
undertaking on the part of the Ma
tional Government, and they announc-
ed the intention to carry the canal
through the marsh lands, and thus to
avoid the use Of Vermi,ion and other
Bays. The favored route lays outside
OF Averys and Weeks Islands, but in
side of Cote Blanche Island. The
right OF way must be 800 feet wide.
The canal will be IS feet wide by a
depth of feet. The lntercOastal
Canal will leave the marsh and enier
the Teche through the Hanson canal,
Just below Franklin, which latter
canal the Government will buy at a
cost of $65, 900. 1t will be w,dened
aud deepened. A further 100000
will have to be expended III building
the railroad bridge across the canal.
Franklin citizens have undertaken
the getting of the right of ways Deces-
sarv in that parish and have shown
considerable enthusiasm in the allot-
ted work.
In obedience to motion duly pre-
sented and adopted the Chairman has
appointed the following committees
On Rights of Way: G. M. Compton, +.
A. McIlhenny, H. P. Patoni, Charles
G. Henshaw, F. F. Myles, Desire Del
cambre, Madison Leblanc. Paul Gull
foux, Walter J. Burke, and E. J. Ga
ian. Committee to call on the Police
Jury OF this parish to solicit an appro-
priation to aid in meeting the ex-
penses Of the State general organizH-
ton: P. A. Landry. l.. K. Burke, La
card King, Nj. w. Fisher, and Ed l..
Estorye. 1t was announced that the
expenses of the Louisiana division OF
the general association amounted TO
between four and Ave thousand dol
lars per year. Iberia. on a previous
O. casion. contributed $3.50 TO this gen
eral expense fund. and It was indlcat-
ed that $500 more would be very nc
ceptable at this time. Vermillon pre-
viously gave $3.50 and recently appro-
prlated $500 more st. Mary's first
Appropriation was $500; an additional
appropriation of $1,000 will be asked
for.
Mr.. Gueydan outlined some OF the
benefits that will follow the cutting OF
the Intercoastal Canal, and called AZ
tentiOn TO the fact that over 1000
acres of VermiliOn marsh lands had
been reclaimed since the starting of
the project. These lands had the val
ne of So per acre before the starting OF
the work of reclamation; now they
are worth from $50 to SO per acre.
In addition to this one great project
Vermilion has some 10 or II new
drainage districts. which will do an
inc stimable work in raising the value
of many more acres. Such results
should follow In iberia.

PARISH ROADS.

If there is any one thing above
another that the present Police
Jury has devoted itself to in the
effort Of making an Issue Of it, il
is the question Of making good
system Of parish roads. 1t is de-
voting the mos; earnest effort to-
wards the laying Of substantial
foundation for this end, seeking
relief from the immediate road
troubles ana preparing the way
FOR the future development.
A shorter aud a better route IL
sought for the road leading out "a
Averys Island aud surrounding
country.
The extension of Main street, of
this city, 10 direct line for few
hundred yards, then turning Il
The left, would give the traveller
4 road an direct AZ the present
one to Segura aud Burke stations.
1t would also have the great ad
vantage Of taking the travel out
Of that section. just above the
city limits, where the road Is sub
j.ct TO flooding after heavy rains,
and locate the new road on higher
land where the cost Of maintt
nance would be far less expensive.
This il one of the road problems
thai the Police Jury now has we'll
under way.
The strengthening OF the road
between Segura and Burke sta
tlons has just been accomplished !.
The new road has just been open
I'd aud in short time ii will b.
made a model thoroughfare. 1t
follows close alongside of the rail
road and makes a very straigh,
way for travel.
Some two Or more surveys have
been made Of the proposed route
for u short road from this city e
the new road of st. Martin parish.
The first OF the surveys was made
