More Streets Needed

Editor Clarion::-If you will
take up a map Of Opelousas, or,
better still, stroll over the ground
and note how irregular and made
quate arA the streets running
east and west north of Cheney
street, you will wonder how it
could have happened that such
conditions should have endured
so long.
Will you not use your influence
with the Board Of Aldermen to-
ward securing a standing COM
mittee on streets which will
carefully look into such matters
and from time to time suggest
changes that can be made now
at much smaller expense than
later-changes that may seem
only desirable now but that will
become imperative later, and
cost a vast deal more then.
If you will do this, Mr.. Editor,
you will be entitled to the thanks
of your contemporaries as well
as of generations to come.

CITY,,Is RAPIDLY GET.
ting out OF DEBTS
A Marked Improvement In The
Financial Condition OF The
City Can Be Noticed.

When Mayor E. L. Leob, of
Opelousas, undertook a plan for
buying an engine, which would
save the city over six hundred
dollars each month, it was
thought that, he was under
taking the impossible.
Through his untir!ng energies
and labors, our progressive
Mayor succeeded in landing a
a Meitz and Weitz engine at the
Power Plant, and to-day, instead
Of the City of Opelousas going
into the customary debts it is
rapid y liquidating all
t h b a c k debts, which ag-
created an amount something
like, $18, 100000, ten months ago
when the present administration
took charge of the City. To-day,
it is said, approximately two
thirds of this debt has been paid
and in the space of few months,
the present ADMINISTRATION will
have Opelousas on the safe side.
Mayor Leob was extended a
unanimous vote of thanks from
every member of the Board of
Aldermen of this city, and should
be applauded by the people, he
has been serving so faithfully,
for his undaunted courage and
untiring efforts in everything
which is of vital Importance to
this community. The books
show that a profit of $689. 68 was
made by the City for the month
Of February, thus proving that
there is considerable change of
affairs. in the finances of this
City.

DR.. BERCIER WRITES
ON PAVED STREETS.
Thinks That Opelousas Has To Have Better Streets
And That The People Should Vote A
Mills Tax.

j Cheap things are always a bur
/ den dear things are treasures
no man ever acquired a cheal
article, which he did not regret
/ Street paving for Opelousas,
believe is a necessity, and a gooC
investment, and now is the time
for action. The most vital ques
tions are 1st. What quality il
best adapted to this soil; End the
more durable and substantial
construction, should apply to the
streets that have to bear the bur.
den of traffic; 3rd-Which are
the most important streets tt
consider first; 4th-hoW shall
we procure the money to defray
the expense.
Question No. l: Can be obtain.
ed from competent State En-.
gineer who will come and examine
the soil, study the conditions,
suggest the quality and give the
approximate cost of construc-
ton.
Question No. 2:-The Streets
which bear the burden of traffic
are 1st: The whole of Vine
Street. from East to West, Main
Street, from Vine to the South
ern extremity, over which route
over Is, 900 tons of cane, and as
many tons Of sweet and irish
potatoes and cotton, are hauled to

roads; 2nd--Landry Street, from

where most Of the cotton comes,
and from Landry Street to the

important streets to consider are
from the Lacombe Hotel to the
various depots; th-Put on the
3 mill additional tax, plus one
half of the $1,000 already set
aside, reserving the other half to
maintain the streets that will not
be paved. Capitalize this, which
will give you in ten years $65, 600,
which is enough to pave ten miles
at Sc, 600 per mile. with a sur
plus of SIS, 600.
| say $6, 1000, because from
what I can learn the very best
paving from curb to curb, with
the proper drainage, will cost
about that amount.
Our revenues will be greater
next year, owing to the railroads
and other necessary enterprises,
which will pay a tax.
I say let us have the very best,
so there will be no cause for
future regret.
Another point worthy Of men
ton, is that we should not pave
out the Sewerage District, where
we anticipate an extension OF
same.

moved in the new brick building
situated on Landry near Nam

one of the finest in this City and
one which any city would be
proud of.
Mr.. Clary has been one Of the
most hustling grocery man in
Opeiousas and now that he has
established a very large trade
and has moved in a modern and
up-todate building, it is expected
that his business will be vastly

ITALIAN CITIZENS
To HAVE GALA time
To Celebrate Feast Of st. Joseph
Easter Sunday Night. A Band
From N. @. To Play Music

The Italian citizens Of this
city have been working siren
uosly for the last few days to
get everything in readiness for
the celebration of the feast of
their fayorate saint. st. Joseph.
It has been customary for the
Italians to meet on the Church
Square, every year on the 18th
of March to celebrate the feast
of st. Joseph, but this year on
account of the 10Th falling in
Holy Week and on account of a
special request from their Parish
priest, Father Engberink, these
Engberink, these men have
decided to postpone the celebra-
ton until Easter Sunday night,
March the 23rd.
There will be an Italian Band
ftom New Orleans for the
occasion, all who heard this band
last year were impressed with
the good music, which they rem
dered and these people will no
dout be very glad to hear that
this band will play on the Court
House Square on Saturday night,
from 7:3O to 11:00 o'clock, all
lovers of good music are cordially
invited to attend.
Sunday morning at $50 the
Italians will participate at High
Mass, whilst the band will fur
nish music outside the Church,
before and after Mass. At 8
O'Clock that afternoon the
feature of amusement will be
the climbing of the greasy poll.
besides other modes of gayety
will be participated in.
Main Street will be beautifully
illuminated, from Landry Street
to the Catholic Church, at nine
O'Clock the fireworks will begin,
and it is said that the illumin-
ations will far surpass those OF
last year, so it is expected that
the affair will, indeed, be gor-
geous and several thousand peo-
pie will be there to witness the
frey spectacle.
It is estimated that there was
a crowd of over three thousand
people there to see the fireworks,
last year, but it is said that, If
the weather is promising, there
will be a considerably larger
crowd on Easter Satnday night.
The band will furnish music
before, during and after the eel
ebrations on the vacant square
where the temporary Catholic
Church stood for several years.
