THE CANAL AND OTHER I'M
PRQy1a6NETs.

On Monday evening last,
Mcssrs. Alexis VOORHEES,, 4. F.
Willard, Chas. Il. Provost, Ed
ward l.. Estorge, Frank Decuir,
j. w. Eckart, r. Ashley, M. W.
Fisher, Mayor Fontelieu and
Commissioners Suberbielle and
Nillermin met to discuss the prop
|, osition of submitting the canal
Sbond issue to the citizens OF New
iberia at an early date as is feas-
ihle. After q general discussion
BY those present, Commissioned
!. Of FINANCE Suberbielle explained
That it was the intention OF the
Board of Commissioners to sub
init the Improvement tax in sue n
a way that the property holders
would not pay one cent more for
these improvements, than the,
are now paying. In other words
the people would be asked to ap-
prove the Commissioners issuing
bonds to the extent Of $l3O,0OO
by extending the three mill Wat
err Works and Electric Light tax
for an extended period Of forty
wears which would enable them to
Iproratc the bond issue according
": $4,000 TO be used in cutting
the canal from the Teche to the
Lake; $40, 600 for the City's share
of paving and placing the neces-
sary sewers ON our Main Street,
80 as to avoid taking up the paw
ing whenever the City is severed
in accordance with the plans OF
the Sewerage Board and $4,000
for refunding the remainder Of
the outstanding bonds Of the
Electric Light and Water Works
plant which will become due IN
1917. When taking into consid-
Grafton the increase in assess
ment. which has been on the basis
Of two per cent. per annnm, due
to general improvements within
the past ten years. Mr.. Suber.
belle assures us that these bonds
could be taken up within the next
twenty years. Two per cent is
over conservative. because the
past ten years has shown an in
crease Of approximately nine per
cent and we believe in short
while it will SHOW much greater
gain without raising the assess,
ment on a single piece of real
estate. In addition to the inn
provements mentioned which
would be secured by the author
lied bond issue of $4,000. the
Board, Of Trustees contemplate
putting in other Improvements,
ali of which will be made without
any extra taxation, the cost to be
paid out Of the general revenues
Of the City. These improvements
will consist Of the installation OF
an electric fire alarm system,
which will increase the efficiency
Of the Fire Department of New
Iberia and insure continuation,
