BUY HOME PRODUCTS.

So few of our citizens beln5
aware Of the beautiful wood work
turned out in New Iberia with
our native cypress by the Ber-
trand Lumber Company Factory
and that of Mr.. E. 2. Folse, that
we felt it our duty to call atten-
ton to it through the columns
of The Enterprise. In discuss
ING with one of our felloW-cltl-
zens the extent that our small
industries and business houses
suffer, owing to the amount OF
merchandise bought from foreign
houses, our attention was called
to the grade Of wood work being
turned out right here at home by
the above concerns which to our
mind is superior to that brought
in from the outside and at prices
that would surprise the natives.
Very recently Mr.. F'olse complet-
cd five foot cigar stand which
was installed in the News Stand
of Mr.. A. A. Dauterive in the
Frederic Hotel that, for work
manship is the equal Of any piece
of furniture brought to this City.
The entire outfit of dining tables
and cash register stand in the
Capitol Restaurant Of Mrs. Jules
Landry was also turned out by
Mr.. Folse's Factory and it would
pay our citizens interested III
New Iberia's products to call
there and see just what is being
done with our native cypress.
There is ample room here for
woodworking factories, if our
people would place their orders
with them and there is no
better way to improve con-
ditions here than by keeping this
money at home. There is too
much inclination on the part o.
some Of OUT citizens to send their
money off to larger centers and
it behooves them to stop this
practice if they wish to see New
Iberia take it's place as a manu-
featuring center.

MASS MEETING NEXT TUES
DAY NIGHT.

At the request and suggestion
of Mayor Fontelieu and members
of the committee on organization
appointed by His Honor. we wish
to urge upon our business men
the Importance of attending a
mass meeting at the City Hall
next Tuesday evening at $50, for
the purpose of organizing a live
Chamber of Commerce for New
Iberia. For some time The En-
terprise has been urging upon its
readers the Importance Of New
Iberia keeping itself in the fore
front with a good live civic body
with but little response on the
part Of our citizens. At last,
however. we feel gratifed to
chronicle to our readers that our
efforts have not been IN vain and
a very strong sentiment has been
christalized favoring the move
ment. 1t now behooves every
taxpayer who really has the in
terest of the City at heart to be
present and assist in forming the
Association, which will mean so
much to the future welfare of our
City. An organization with a
good live Board of Directors
holding sessions at least once a
week, assisted by a competent
and active Secretary who will
give all of his time to the work
can accomplish a hundred and
one things for our advantage.
Were the Association to do Moth
ing more than educate our people
to "trade at home" instead of
sending away for their merchan-
disc, paid Secretary will be
worth the price. Let every man
ufacturer, merchant, banker, real
estate dealer, lawyer, doctor,
mechanic and clerk enroll his
name as a member of the organ.

together with one object in view
that we can ever hope to better
our conditions and the time is
now opportune for us to get busy

Mr.. ]. P. Suberbielle, Trustee OF Finance
New Iberia, La.
Dear We are in receipt of your
favor OF even date stating, that after
consid eration Of she proposals for
Insurance. submitted to the Board OF
Trustees, you were instructed by,them
to inform rs that they would make no
change in the award made by them of
the business to other agents.
You further, very properly state, that
our proposal for this line Of insurance be.
ing at seventy nine cents, our policy Of
twenty thousand dollars would have cost
the City $500. But would not Mr..
Alphonss Davis policy for this amount,
TO whom you awarded the bulk OF the
businsss) have cost the City $4,000 at
the rate OF his proposal of eighty centsf
You also very properly state that tie
City secured the amount OF twenty thous-
and dollars Of insurance for $l57.50,
which was made possible by Mr.. Weeks
proposing to write Ave thousand dollars
of tue amount for @37 so and your giving
to Mr.. Alphonse Davis the remaining fif.
teen thousand for $4,000, or at a rate Of
eighty cents. II the fifteen thousand dol
lars written by Mr.. Davis for $4,000 had
would have cost the City $l18 so; aud
giving to Mr.. Weeks the Five thousand at
his bid Of $37.6 would have made the to-
tai cost to the city under onr proposal
$4,000 for the twenty thousand dollars Of
insurance. Is this not less than the
@157 so you paid for it,
These figures are so plain that run
ming man can read them, and unquestion-
ably bear us out in the statement that
our prosposal was a lower one than that
of Mr.. Alphonse Davis to whom you gave
the bulk of the business. In plain lam
guage you gave him the business at eigh-
ty cents, when our proposal was at seven
ty nine cents. OF course the proposal Of
Mr.. Weeks for the FIVE thousand was low
er than the proposals of either Of us, but
rs the next lowest to him, we were GER
tainly entitled to that portion of the bust
ness he was unable to handle.
Trusting that the Council will re- consid.
er their action in this matter. in order
that they may not be placed in the posi-
ton of treating unfairly those who were
invited by the Board to make these pro.
posals for insurance, we are,

CONTEMPLATED IMPROVE
MENTS.

Last TUESDAY, the Wv!

bonds recently disposed OF, ana
now have the funds in hand 20
carry out the contemplated I'M
provements for which the bonds
were issued. With the amount
thus secured, work is to begin
Immediately in extending the
Water and Light service to all
parts of the City thus placing
these utilities in reach OF d
large number Of citizens, VINO
although contributing for years
TO the construction and malnten'
ance Of the Plant, have hereto
fore been denied it's advantages.
A publication plant is next TO De
installed, and instead OF the
black murky water now furnish
ed, the patrons will be served
clear clean and sanitary water,
fl for any and all purposes. And
finally. our Anticipated and con-
fusing fire alarm system is to be
replaced with an electric install
lation which will properly direct
the firemen to the locality where
their services are wanted. These
:.-,,,,,orooor+e have long been
necessities and the Commission
ers are to be commended for hav-
ing secured them without resort
ing TO additional taxes. But,
while it has been possible TOR
these gentlemen to accomplish
this. other undertakings are
equally necessary and are denied
us because of the lack Of money.
To remedy this the Commission:
ers have been laboring for several
months and have devised plan
which attorneys here as we'll as
in New Orleans have declared to
be. not only feasible, but in ac-
cord with law. The proposition
is now being prepared for sub
mission to the Tax Payers and,
at an election soon to be held.
these are to decide whether New
iberia is to receive the benefits OF
improvements which would place
it in the ranks of progressive cit
les or be relegated to the class
Of inactive ones. It is proposed
to ask the tax payers consent to
bond the City for an amount Of
$3.50, 100000 not by increasing the
present rate of taxation, but by
extending the present three mills
water works and electric light
tax for a period of twenty-five
wears. Should this be author1z-
I'd, the amount derived from this
source would be utilized in this
wise. First. $15,00o.0o would be
used in retiring the outstanding
Electric Light & Water Works
bonds; next, $75,000.0O would be
expended in the construction OF
the Bayou Boutte Canal to con-
meet the Teche with Grand Lake
and furnish an avenue of com
merce with which to divert
trade to New iberia which
IS Justly entitled to it; and final
w $4O,OO0.00 would pave MAR
Street and gravel others and for

FIRE INSURANCE..

Mr.. Editor-A few days since we were re-
uuested by the Trustee of Finance to sub
mt TO the Cum mission Council, propo.-
Il for fire insurance policies covering the
Electric Light. Power and water Plant of
New Iberia. Complying with this request
We submitted a written proposal for this
insurance, which, it will be noted from
the subj"ined letter Of Mr.. :. P. Sutei-
belle, Trustee Of Finance. was at an av-
erage rate Of seventy nine cents pei 800
on the buildings and machinery cOmpris-
ing the Plant. ,.
The Council having seen ft to reject
this prosposal, and instead, TO award the
writing of the greater part Of the lnsur-
snce to an agent, whose offer Was eighty
cents, we deem it proper to ask that you
publish tho following correspondence had
relative to the N alter:
Messrs. Sharp & Nuckolls, New Iberia, La.
Gentlemen referring to the proposal sub
mittsd by you for insurance on the Light,
Power and Water Plant. the Trustees
went over this matter very carefully this
morning and I was directed by them to
advise you that they will make no change

is 1857. so, and o. your bid for the same
amount of insurance, taking the average
rate OF seventy nine cents, as You have
figured it out yourselves, amounted to
$i58. 90, it is obvious therefore that We
have secured this insurance at cheaper
rate than you could have furnished it an
