EultOr enterprise:
The outgoing members of the

be surprised to learn that in such
streets of New Orleans, AS St,
Charles Avenue, Louisiana Avenue

sections, there are still a number

of brick side walks, not one over
three feet wide, which have been
constructed twenty years or over.
The owners of property abuting
on said streets not having becn
forced to replace them with ce-
ment sidewalks as has been done
in many eases in New Iberia.
There are still many wooden
sidewalks in the upper sections of
the City, notably in the rear Of
Tulane University. 1t is dis
eenraging when one learns that
rentals Of residences in the above
mentioned streets yielding from
$50 to 800 eer month, while the
same modern improvements, bring
not much over $25 per month in

to thingk that New Iberia is in a

justifies such improy ements as the

TROLLEY RIDE TO JEANE-

Last Thursday a large delega-
ticn from New Iberia were the
guests of the Southwestern Trac.
ton Co. on trip to Jeanerette.
Promptly at four clock, the
party boarded the new trailer at
tached to the regular car enjoy
ing the privilege of inauguratlng
it's service. This car, with seat
ING capacity of seventy-six is OF
the regular summer type anr will
afford great comfort to the pa
irons of the road during the long
hot summer months before us. On
arriving in Jeanerette, the vlsl-
tors were met at the corporation
inc by Mayor Durocher, Jules L.
Robin, Geo. j. Labau, B. V. Mou-
ret and his Council and escorted
over the City to inspect the side
walks and street pavements rec
emily completed. These civic i'm
provements undertaken by Jean
erette and carried to such success
full issue, denote a public spirit
and enterprise in our n>ighbor
which we of New Iberia might
well copy. Starting with the
proposition to construct cement
walks through the town, the citl-
zens were called upon to vote
small tax for that purpose. Find
ing that the returns from the tax
would result in a greater sum
than would be required to retire
the bonds issued for the walks.
he officials submitted plan to
the taxpayers whereby it was
proposed to extend the tax to per-
nit Of more and greater improve
ments, rather than curtail it to
meet the obligations contracted
for. This plan was universally
approved and resrlted in the paw
ing of the Main Street from the
Eastern to the Western limits Of
he CORPORATION and providing for
the little city, a thoroughfare of
which any community might wei
he proud. And now! urged on TO
further improvements, arrange
ments are being perfected to con
tinue the pavement the length Of
Minvielie Street, from Main
Street to the Southern Pacific
Railroad station.
After viewing the improve
ments, all were invited to the
pretty little City Hall where Hon.

style, extended most cordial
welcome to the visitors, Mayor

MILFORD MERCERON KILLED

Last Monday evening an un-
fortunate homicide occurred IN
! the town of Jeanerette that east
a gloom over the entire Parish.
The principals in the affair were
Police Officer Tanis Proves and
one Wilfred MercerOn, the latter
being shot and instantly Killed
! without making a statement as to
| how it occurred. According to
the report of the officer he had
been directed by Mayor DurocheI
to hunt up negro GIRL at the re
quest of her father, when he en-
countered MercerOn, who was very
much under the influence of liquor
and a quarrel ensued relative to
the action Of the officer in carrying
out some police regulations III
closing up all Sunday gambling
games, etc. Merceron after be-
ing knocked down securing an ice
pick and attempted to take his life
resulting in the officer pulling his
weapon and firing the fatal shot
which cost the unfortunate man
his life. Officer Provost immed-
lately gave himself up and was
brought to New Iberia where he
furnished bond of $500 for his
appearance before the District
Court. Since the homicide con-
ficting statements have been made
by many citizens of Jeanerette, one
of which was that the Officer was
not justified in killing the man for
so Slight an offense. While we
have mot seen the report of the
Coroner Jury we understand it
is very damaging to the accused.
The relatives of N0r. MeIceron
have engaged the services of an
attorney and are determined to
prove that the officer. was not
justified in taking the life OF
Merceron under the circumstance.
The deplorable affair is none the
less regretted by the friends Of
both the participants in the fight.
Since writing the above as we
90 to press, we are informed that
an affidavit for murder has since
been preferred against Mr. Pro-
vost and a preliminary hearing
will be given him this afternoon
so as to enable him to secure bond
if he is entitled to it.

AN OBJECT I'm VIEW.

You seldom find saving lam
lily paying rent.
A family paying rent has no
special incentive to save, but the
family that buys a home has a
special object to save for. They
at once realize that it is much
more important to save their mon
ey and pay for their home than
to waste it foolishly, and if they
have borrowed money from this
Association they can pay 1t back
n easy monthly payments.
1t is all in the plan.
Call on OUR Secretary.

THE ELECTION.

Tomorrow evening Will bring
to a close the campaign for set of
Commissioners to serve the people
of this City, under a Commission
Form of Government for the next
four wears, the election being hello
next Monday between the hours
Of 6 a. m. and Z p. IN. The fact
that we have inagurated a pref
erential system of choosing our OF
icers have been mostly responsible
Tor the quiet campaign among the
andidates. free of all bitterness as
was the ease heretofore in all OF
our previous political factlonai
contests. From our observation
a majority of the voters will eX-
press themselves for the second
and third choice, IA privilege that
they could only ENJOY under the
new charter. Not even a single
political meeting was held since
the candidates have announced
themselves, though nearly every
one has issued a platform showing
the people how they stand on
mary pablo questions. As whole
we believe the voters are satisfied
with the material that has offered
themselves for the different posi-
lions to he filed and we feel conn
dent when the ballots are counted
there will be no regrets.
The names of the candidates
will appear on the official ballots
n alphabetical order as follows

NEW COURT HOUSE NEEDED.

Public improvements are now
the order of the day, almost every
community of the State is exertlng
its every effort for the betterment
of its surroundings. One will de-
vote its energies towards road and
street building, another to sew
erage, water or light plants, while
still others turn their attention to
the construc ton Of modern and
adequate public buildings.
Iberia has been no laggard III
these matters. Road improvement
within the past year has already
resulted i'm betteament of condl-
tion to an Incredible extent and
this work continues to form the
greater part of the Police Jury's
task. The pavements in Jeane-
rette and the graveled street in
New iberia show that the munic-
Qualities are also active while the
sewerage system soon to be IN
stalled here will but furnish addi-
tional evidence of this spirit OF
progress. Why not continue in
t'ic direction and provide the
Parish with Court House wor-
thy of itself The present build
ino constructed in 1884. when tn"
entire population Of the Parish
was barely larger than that OF
the present towns and its total
assessments but two million dol
lars, was built from revenues de-
rived from a two mill tax rum
ming for a period of ten years,
end cost approximately 500, 600.
At the time, 1t served its purpose
well and was ample for the ac-
commodation Of those transact
ing the official business of this
small community. With the
growth of population and the
corresponding increase Of bust
ness. it has now become too small
and not only are the officials
cramped for room, but the pub.
lie documents entrusted to them
are i'm constant danger because of
inadequate space in the fire proof
vaults. On a recent trip through
North Louisiana. we We're inn
pressed by the beauty and size of
the Court Horses which we saw
along the route, that at Mans
field, capitaf Of DeSoto Parish.
especially attracted our atten-
ton. Situated in a town of less
than 1000 people and in a parish
with but $1,000 population, the
oa''ice stands a monument to the
civic pride of the citizens.
The present assessment Of ibe-
ria Parish is about seven and one
half millions and the rate OF tax
alton. certainly not exorbitaat,
and far less than that paid by
many other parishes in the State.
ROUGHLY estimated. a 2 mill tax
would now yield $4,000 per year
and ten year bonds issued on
this amount would furnish sum
sufficient to budld and furnish a
Court House which would be
to the times and source
Of pride to an for a generation
to come. This suggestion we
make in the hope that the prom
osition may interest others and
cause it to be discussed bv the
tBv ravers. in whose behalf we
pc always willing and anxious to
serve.
