should be carefully perused by
those interested in road build

the American Agriculturist and

On Wednesday evening and
Thursday morning the Trolley
ears ceased TO operate to the
great Inconvenience Of all OF the
residents along the line who had
business in New Iberia. The
trouble was caused owing to
an accident which occurred at
the Plant. 1t seems the large
belt which operated the dynamo
broke and it was necessary to
send to New Orleans to get an
experienced man to glue the belt.
On Wednesday evening the large
delivery automobile Of the Moresl
foundry was fitted up with two
benches and about thirty people
were transferred home who had
came to New Iberia to appear as
witnesses before the Grand Jury.

We were requested to an

Upon the return from Hous-
ton. Texas. where he attended a
meeting of the board Of directors
Of the Gebert Shingle Company,
Mr.. Arthur Schexnayder, the
general manager of the Com
pany's interests here brought
back the information that it was
the sense of the Board that the
mill close down indefinitely at the
end Of the present month. The
reason from what we understand
is due to the fact that they can
not compete with some OF the
larger conc erns Of the west who
make shingles from the refuse OF
the saw mills and the further fact
that there is no demand for cy-
press shingles at the present
time. This is certainly bad news
for New iberia and the loss OF
its $4,000 per month pay roll will
be felt by a great many who
profitted by the mills operation
here. This industry which was
founded by the family Of Hon. j.
A. Gebert many years ago has
been running almost continuous
ly every since, employing very
often as many as 100 men. At
present they are working eighty
people who will do doubt be
compelled to leave the City for
parts unknown in order to find
employment. 1t is probable that
all of their timber holdings will
be transferred to some saw mill
in one of the lower parishes.
The timber owned by this cor
pOration is situated near White
Castle which was also a long haul
to New iberia.
