There has been a great deal
of demand within the past two
months for houses in New Iberia
for rental uses. Some six months
ago there were several hundred
vacant houses in New iberia with
for rent signs attached to them.
Things are very much better now
since the oil development was
started. If the demand for homes
continue as at present, houses will
be at a premium. Of course most
of the new corners are seeking
houses with sanitary equipment
which has always been scarce be-
cause New Iberia had no sewerage
system. Very soon these condi-
ton will be remedied.-

The Pastime Theatre build
ing was sold this week to Mr.. J.
T. Lejeune who is remodeling the
entire structure in order to ac-
commodate his garage which is
now located on upper Main Street.
1T is Mr.. Lejeune's intention to fit
up an ideal garage for the accom-
mediation of his trade.
Sad tidings were received
here on Thursday morning an
nouncing the death at Broussard-
vile of the little son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jos. Comeaux. The remains
were inferred in the Catholic GEM
etery at the above place the same
afternoon. The Comeaux-Segura
families have the sympathy Of
many friends here.
Owing to the recent traffic
ordinance passed by the Board of
Trustees, Mayor 4Sealy has ap-
pointed Mr.. James Hebert traffic
officer until the people can get
acquainted with the different
ordinances now on the statute
books. Since this ordinance was
passed there is a noticeable
change in the conduct of many
drivers, and as a consequence ac-
cidents will be seldom in the fn-
ture. 1t is Mayor Sealy' S inten-
ton to see to its enforcement.
more especially the speeding Of
automobiles in different parts Of
the City which had become quite
common. It is hard to conceive
how so few accidents took place
when taken into consideration the
chances certain people took when
running their cars at thirty and
forty miles an hour.
Through some misunder-
standing, so we are informed, as
to the nature of the material that
would be used in the proposed
construction Of the road in the
Fifth Ward, the tax for the cleo
ton was defeated last Tuesday
From what we learn in point of
valuation the amount was voted
but in numbers there was de-
cided majority against it. 1t is
said also a great many Of the tax
payers were not qualified voters
and could not participate in the
election. This is unfortunate as
it will deprive the people Nof that
Ward of a road that would have
meant much to them. Oftentimes
when special elections for in
ternal improvements are first sub-
nitted they meet with defeat be-
cause the people do not under
stand the nature 'of the work to
be performed and the cost to be
We feel certain in due
time many who voted nay last
Tuesday will reconsider, and be-
come staunch good road enthus-
asts, more especially if they feel
none of the money will /
