Secretary Chas. l.. Provost of
the Sewerage Board received this
week copies of the plans and spec
itications of the proposed sewerage
system for our little City which
has been in the hands of the State
Board Of Health for their final
approval. We are pleased to re-
port the Board have at last given
their final approval to the plans
and specifications for the sew
erage system and on June 18th
the bids will be opened as sub
mitted by the numerous firms who
are bidding to carry on this i'm
portant civic Improvement. Once
the bid is awarded by the Sew
erage Board and proper bonds
signed for faithful performance,
there will not be any more delay
unless it be due to the congestion
of the railroads running from the
LdSb lIOlll w HUH Jilt material W Ill
come. The people Of New Iberia
voted the necessary tax so will
ingly that we know they are all
anxious to see the sewerage work
begun and completed as early as
possible. Sewerage as we all APP
preciate is an internal improve
ment that is essential, if we ever
hope to see New Iberia strictly a
sanitary town and it is the only
way we can ever hope to get rid
of some Of the unsanitary places
that exist in the City limits of
New Iberia. Once this work is
commenced there will be plenty Of
work for the unemployed also and
that Of itself will be a boon to
many who are now out Of steady
employment.
