The citizens of New Iberia
were much elated this week
when it became known to them
that Congressman Broussard had
taken the initial steps to procure
an Experimental Form for the
Parish Of iberia Mr.. Brous-
sard has introduced a bill au-
an experimental farm
to be located near this City which
was enthusiastically received by
his cO-wOrkers in Congress and
n all likelihood the bill will b,
factorablv acted upon at the next
session of Congress. At what
point in the Parish the Farm will
,e located as yet, we are unable
o state. Mayor FOntelieu has
himself in securing op.
ions on land near this vicinity
md we do not apprehend any
rouble in securing a location
lear the City limits.
AT the suggestion of Mayor
the Sewerage Board
Ippeared before the Commission.
RS last Monday evening to dis
uss the Sewerage proposition in
II it's details which will be sub
nitted to the voter for their
at an early date. The
Of the joint meeting is
o take mp the matter of voting
N the same date general i'm
tax for the paving.
xtension of the water mains to
II sections of the City and the
nstalation of an Electric Fire
alarm System as all modern
owns are putting in which neces
arilv means better fire rate
or New Iberia. These contem-
lated improvements by the City
commissioners are almost as nee
ssary as the Sewerage System
nd We trust the two propositions
ill be submitted at the same
ime. From what we learn the |
commissioners hope to submit
wo mill tax for long period
-hich will give them ample mon
Y for the proposed improve
rents. We can see no reason to
old one back for the other. Ev
ry citizen and tax payer in New
IBERIA knows the Importance of
9th and we have reasons to ba
eve they will all carry if our
eople will only pull together
