New Iberia enterprise and independent observer., 1915-05-01

one Of the members Of that firm
this week he stated that they We're
III position to dispose of every
thing that can be raised here in
large qualities if our people
would only plant Oh a wholesale
scale.
Almost daily we notice the
street gang who have charge Of
collecting all Of the garbage
placed III front of the residences
and business houses which is
hauled off and dumped in the
garbage grounds have to lose
hours at the time picking I'D
waste paper and other trash de
llberately thrown into the gut
ters. Often no doubt this is done
thoughtlessly, which would not be
were those who do it to reflect Il
little bit until they reach the tin
cans that have been placed near
the sidewalks for this very pur-
pose. Many of our people never
realize that it reflects upon our
City as a whole, if they did there
would not be any need for us
calling their attention to the mat
ter. We should all work togeth-
er to make New Iberia as attrac-
tive to the eye Of the stranger as
possible and it can only he ac-
complished by keeping in mind
that waste paper and trash should
not be thrown either in the streets
Or the cutters. Since the Com
mlssloners have been in office the
people have been affol ded the use
OF garbage wagons with which to
keep their premises clean. Why
not take the same pride and use
the same judgment when it comes
to our public thorpughfares.
There IS no gainsaying the fact
that clean city, a city whose
streets are free or trash. waste
paper and other rubbish, is one of
the best advertisements that could
be devised. We are pleased to
report that more inter est is being
taken within the past two years
to beautify and embellish the lors
ON some of our principal avenues
than ever before, which speaks
well for the residents of New
Iberia. Let the same feeling of
civic pride prevail as regards the
streets as well. There is nothin?
that adds more to a community
than beautiful flower gardens
and lawns well kept, but if TIE
thOroughfares are made unsightly
with trash and waste paper, the
efforts of some are counteracted
by the practice of others who
have but little civic pride.

TIVE BROMO QUININE is better than ordinary
Quinine and does not cause nervousness nor

For some days it was ru-
mored that in all probability DR..
H. A. King, the President of the
Police Jury would soon tender mis-
resignation to that Body for the
purpose of taking his seat on the
Atchafalaya Levee Board which
appointment had been rendered
him by the Governor. A great
many of our best citizens were
hopeful that such would not be
the case, although they knew this
section Of the country was badly
in need of some representative
that would use his efforts to OBJ |
tain better protection for the Sec
tions Of the Parish that is often
inundated by the Atchafalaya
waters. Last Saturday evening
the commission issued by Gov.
Hall reached him and he in turn
Immediately resigned from the
Jury, after serving our people for
three years as a faithful, con-
scientious and painstaking public
official. With the assistance of
his colleagues many miles of the
best highways in Louisiana was
constructed in Iberia and those
who appreciated his efforts to bet
ter conditions generally in public
matters regretted to see him
sever his connection with the
Jury, at least until the close of
he administration. The loss as
