moved his law Office from the
Cage building to one of the Off

Several changes have taken
place in Police circles this week
due to designations of Police Vi
ficers Felix Romero and Henry
Mouret who have been on the
force since the City Commission
ers were installed. Mayor Fon-
telieu has filed the position OF
Mr.. Romero by appointing MIR.
Phil Broughton. an estimable gen
tleman and citizen in his stead
and we are satisfied he will make
New Iberia an excellent official.
The position of Mr.. Mouret is
now filed by Mr.. Ernest Viator
whom we believe will also give
satisfaction as right officer.

The press Of The Enterprise
has been exceedingly busy this
week turning out thousands OF
pamphlets and other literature for
the Immigration Department OF
the Franklin & Abbeville Rail
road recently opened here in
charge of Messrs. Landgraf and
Stowell. These circulars, adver-
Using the resources of Iberia and
st. Mary Parishes will be circulat-
ed broadcast over the United
States and ere long we will see
hundreds of farmers settling upon
our large sugar estates engaged
in diversified farming and stock
raising which will be an object
lesson to many of our farmers
who have from season to season
planted one crop of cane with
not even a fig or eggs to bring IN
little extra money. With dl-
versified farming being sys-
tematicany carried on, we. feel
certain change for the better
will soon be the order of the day
and all of our farmers will profit
thereby.

1t will be noted from the
minutes of the Board Of Trustees
resolution was offered by Mr.
J. p. Suberbielle, Commissioners
of Finance, directing the Secre-
tary to Immediately get in touch
through correspondence with
Congressman Broussard for the
purpose of having this City
made the headquarters and dis
tributing point when the work
begins on the dredging of Bayou
Teche, a large appropriation for
that purpose having been made
at the recent session of Congress
This is a step in the right direc-
ton and we are pleased to see
the City Fathers 'bestir them
selves in matters Of this kind
when 50 much is involved. 1t
will be remembered when the
Keystone Locks were being con-
structed by the Government of
ficfals. st. Martinville was made
their headquarters and thousands
Of dollars were disbursel there
that might have been distributed
here had we not slept on our
oars and allowed them to cap
ture the plum. Nearly every
dollar paid out here to the en..
|ployees who will be engaged in
that work will be spent with our
merchants and all will indirectly
get some benefit from it. It is in
matters Of this kind that our peo-
pie should wake up and mas
much as it did not occur to the
Board Of Trade to get busy in
this matter, we are glad that the
Citv Fathers did not overlook this
