a committee to discuss with Major
Schultz, in charge of the govern
mcnt work in Louisiana. the adop-
ton by the government of our
: Commercial Canal which runs to
the bay as the route for the in
tercoastal system returned from
New Orleans on Thursday night
after an interview with the gem
tleman. From what we learn the
question of the government TAX
ening over our canal for that pur-
pose is almost completely out Of
our reach at present. In the
first place upwards Of 1925, 900
would have to be spent on bridges
and sixty-five foot rightaway on
both sides of the canal would be
necessary before the government
would even consider our PROPOSE
ton. This being the conditions
confronting the committee and
City Commissioners, there is no
anticipation of anything further
being done to interest the officials
of the intercoastal in the merits
of our project. Thus it looks like
the people of New Iberia will have
to look to some other projects
for their industrial advancement
besides the intercoastal.

it was the opportune time to re.
