-Messrs. jules Godcharx and
Alphonse Davis were again visi-
tors to st. Martinville in the in
terest of the Trolley extension to
that little City. While major
itv of the citizens there favor the
tax, we understand a few of the
citizens are very luke
warm over the proposition. st.
Martinville cannot afford to vote
down this important lnterurban
system. Once the rails are laid
to that point it is the intention of
the promoters to continue the line
through to Breaux Bridge which !
will necessary make st. Martin
vile the hub of that section like
New Iberia would be were it to
reach the st. Martin Parish line.
When the tax was first submitted
TO the voters Of our sister parish
it was carried unanimously, hut
owing to the panic in money mat
ters the promoters were com
Delled to abandon the project and
t now behOOves the wide awake
'itizens to again give it their sup
bort otherwise the line will be
extended from Jeanerette to
franklin where they are clamor-
ng for the important connection.
