The minutes Of the previous
meeting was read and on motion
approved.
DR.. Henry A. King on behalf
of the Police Jury appeared be-
fore the Board asking the Coun
ell to defray one-half of the ex-
pense Of building the Canal. Aft
err an explanation by DR.. King 10
behalf of THE Police jury and the
Mayor on the part of the City, 1t
was moved and seconded that the
expenses already incurred on the
Canal by the City be deducted
from the Parish's expense OF said
work and that the City share
equally in the expense of cutting
of said Canal
The plans and specifications
and contract of the proposed &C.
ment walks was presented to the
Canal. The Mayor then adj
dressed the Council and wig
orously protected against the
building of the said sidewalks AT
this time, stating that the pres
emit Council had only "a little over
forty-fve days to complete their
term OF Office and pleaded that
said Improvement be deferred
and left to their ccessors to de-
termine whether it was advisable
to build said walks at this time.
The Mayor took the position that
while he was in favor of all i'm
provements that he did not think
that after two strenuous years,
owing to the failure Of crops and
the depressed condition of many
OF the taxpayers of this City for
want of employment that it was
not advisable to proceed with
the work. TIE stated that over
$50 DELINQUENT tax notices had
been sent out from his office that
day. Tie urged the members Of
the Council to defer action. He
also stated that while he stood
for all improvements that in his
opinion the most essential i'm
provement was the proposed sew
erage system to be presented to
the taxpayers at an early date
and that he stood for that int-
provement before any other as
that meant the health OK the
community.
After arguments BY different
members Of the Council it was

EAST SIDE RECLAMATION.

Messrs. RI. p. Gates, i. G. De
Blame l., J. Landry, Fred De
court Jno. ID. Valet, Jules Drey-
fms and DR.. II. A. King constltut-
ed a delegation from IBERIA who
attended the meeting of the st.
Martin Police jury last Monday.
The object Of their visit was to
discuss with the st. Martin otll-
cials. the levee which the Atcha'-
alava Levee Board had agreed
TO construct to protect the high
lands of the Teche from annual
overhows; but the building OF
which has never been undertaken.
Mr.. .Jno. ID. Valet Of LoreauNllle
addressed the meeting and unged
the appointment OF a JOINT com
mittee from the two parishes to
appear before the levee board IN
an effort to expedite this work,
o vital to the interest Of tins sec
ton. This course was agreed
upon, and the following commit
tee appointed Messrs. Valet,
Ulysse Landry, F.. S. Broussard
and DR.. King from Iberia; and
Messrs. Smedes, Shaw, Guldry AMI
Sheriff Wade Martin from st.
Martin. These gentlemen re-
paired to Baton Rouge last We'd
nesday and presented the case to
the Levee Board then in session;
and obtained from that body the
promise that the proposed levee
would be begun as soon as the
present flood waters receded, and
the work continued to its compile
ton. This contemplated project
means much to the Parishes IN
terested and it's consumation Will
result in mtold good. For the
past IS years, the residents on
the East Side of the Teche have
annually contributed thousands
of dollars towards the Atchafa-
lava Levee Boards funds which
have been expended in the con
struction of levees on the East
Bank of the Atchafalaya thus
causing the food waters of the
river to spread yearly further
and further over its East Bank,
and inundating those whose very
contributions were responsible Tor
these conditions. BY the con
sthuction of the proposed levec
from Port Barre to Clarendon,
this injustice will, in large meas
IRE he remedied. The restrainl'nr
Of the overflow waters to the
timbered swamps, will not only
reclaim thousands of acres Of the
richest farm lands of st. Landr',
st. Martin, iberia and st. Mary
Parishes, but will add greatly TO
their revenues by enhancement
OF values and consequent increase
in assessments. The gentlemen
of the committee are to be con
graduated and Mr.. Valet in par
ticular is deserving Of thanks.
To his thorough knowledge OF
conditions and to his Jealous ef-
forts are the interested ones in
debted for the success Of a plan
devised by him for their protec-
ton and now to be carried out 10
gccessful issue.

issued to the said Estate to be

RABIES BECOMING A MENACE

The spread Of rabies amongst
the animals of this Parish is grow
ing to alarming proportion and
some steps should be taken for
its eradication. From widely diff
ferent points come stories of NAL
dogs running the public roads, bit
ing and inoculating whatever
crosses their path. Lately seve-
raj valuable animals have been
lost to their owners; and more
serious still, a number Of people
have been sufferers. Some two
months ago five members of the
Lacanme family were bitten near
Loreauville by pet dog suddenly
gone mad. Some weeks later.
Arthur Dore and three others Of
his family suffered from the bite
of a cat and last week the five
year.old daughter of John
Bourgue, living one mile south Of
New iberia was attacked and bit-
ten by young pig which had de-
veloped the disease from having
been inoculated some days before
by a rabid dog. All of these were
Immediately taken to the Pasteur
Institute i'm New Orleans where
the last named five are still un-
dergoing treatment. Not only
has this been a source Of great
anxiety TO relatives and friends
of te victims, but it has been a
source Of expense to the Parish
which has been called upon to
bear the burden in several Of the
eases where the sufferers were
destitute of funds. The case OF
