New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1913-06-14

The lowest bid was that of Mr.
Dan Boutte for $1,000 and the
work was awarded to him. From
what we are informed the con-
struction will leg in as soon as the
lumber can be hauled on the
grounds. Mr.. F. w. Crosby who
made the plans for the buildings
will superintend its construction.
We hope at no distant day
the Commissioners Of New Iberia
will see the urgent necessity OF
Purchasing a sprinkllng wagon
and allay the dust nuisance on
the principal streets OF New he
ria, especially the residence sec
tions. At every trip of the Troll
lev ears on our main thorough
fare. clouds of dust from the
Model Road is rolled up and
sent into the homes that make 1t
yeru uncomfortable and unpleas-
ant for the occupants, particularly
since the gravel has been put
down in that section of the City.
On some occasions when the au-
tos hit the speedway one is hte-
rally swalloped up as 1t We're by
the dust. The investment OF a
sprinklimg wagon would be good
one and all of the residents or
New Iberia wOuld welcome It,,
particularly since the automobiles
are so numerous here, and nave
no respect as it were for the
CITY ordinance relative to speed
ing within the limits.
The friends of Judge John
R. Davis of the City Court are
much gratified to know that he
has sufficiently recovered from
his sickness to again resume his
work on the City Court BENCH
administering justice and enforc-
ing the City ordinances. Since
his sickness he was wei! repre-
sented by Judge Ventress D.
Smith who kindly volunteered to
see that the peace Of the City was
kept at the high standard set D!
Mr. Davis. We cannot but express
our opinion that Mr.. Smith did
his duties faithfully and impart-
ially and the violators of the law
were kept in subsection during
his incumbency. We trust Judge
Davis health will continue to I'M
prove as heretofore.
The services of Messrs. John
T. DeValcourt and Harry >.
Smith expert accountants have
been procured to audit the books
of the New iberia Electric Light
Plant and the Collectors and
Mayors offices preparatory to
turning same over to the new adj
! ministration. This is carrying out
the usual custom of the City
Fathers before winding up their
affairs and we are pleased to note
that local accountants were gwen
the preference in work of this ma
trre instead of sending off for
outside help. The gentlemen will
finish their work in time for next
Monday evenings session when
the first meeting of the Commits
sioners will be convened.
