MEETING OF COUNCIL OF
DEFENSE.

A meeting Of the executive COM
mittee Of the Parish Council of
Defense was held at the Court
House at New Iberia last Monday
afternoon at 4 o'clock. The SUBJ
committee on food and feedstuffs
and the one on economy and con-
servation were slated for con-
solidation on account Of the ST.
milarity Of the work and the dup
LEGATION Of effortsi These two
committees were considered the
most important institutions in the
world organization Of the Coun-
ell of Defense. The policy Of the
practical work was formulated
that can be brought directly to
the farmer and agriculturist and
enlist his active cooperation. The
question Of increased food and
feed crops. and the conservation
and protection Of the health of
animals are the vital subjects con-
nected with the main work of
these committees.
Composed Of practical and sue
cessful farmers not much antag-
anisrn or tragiditional prejudice
is expected from the farmers in
this propaganda. 1t is a question
Of intensified farming at best and
the utilization Of the fertility and
the productivity Of our soil to
the best advantage.
A systematic and organized in
PRODUCTION Of modern farming
methods and the modern hand
ling, saving and distribution OF
the crops will put the farmer into
his proper and legitimate eco
monte place as a necessary and
indispensable wealth producer.
Many more lessons imposed by
the war necessities upon our agri
cultural population will in the
future be the redemption of this
section Of country and give sta
bility and confidence to the in
dustrv and the credit fabric I'm
DERIVING same.
The meeting adjourned until
Friday afternoon. at Ave o'clock
when the full membership Of the
Council Of Defense will be present
and ratify the work Of the ex-
ecutive committee. The members
present were DR.. Fl. A. King. H.

cided to build the road.
l do not think that we have
had mQ6e than two or three tidal
waves that would flood a road
four and a half to five feet above
mean tide level in the last TWEEN
ty years. 1t would very likely be
cheaper to build road that
would flood in the extreme storm
tides and need repairs after the
waters recede than to attempt to
build the road above any tide we
have ever had on this coast.
would suggest that the road
be built six feet above mean tide
level when first put up. This
would shrink to about four feet
and the surfacing material would
raise it to something more than
five feet above M. T. l..
If built along the route sur
veyed four bridges will be nee
essary. One Of these is over
Bayou at a point where it is nav
igable and 100 feet wide. | doubt
that a draw bridge will be nee
essary here as the Bayou breaks
up short distance above where
we crossed it.
The dredge that puts up the
embankment should at the same
time grade it. This is the best !
method. The bridge should be
built as soon as possible after the
embankment is put up in order to |
permit vehicles to use the dump
during good weather as that will
hasten the settlement of the en-
bankment.
The embankment should have
a crown of twenty-six feet with
side slopes of one and a half feet
horizontal to each foot vertical.
A driveway not less than sixteen
feet wide should be hard sur
faced. This would give roaa
twenty-four feet wide, sixteea
feet Of which is hard surfaced
and four feet on each side of dirt.
l understand that shells are
available not far from the south
ern terminus of the road and can

There is on Avery Island a
sand clay deposit that I think
would make an excellent binder
FOR either shells or loose gravel.
The owners Of the Island would
be glad to let you have
this sand clay material at a very
small cost if they do not have to
handle it. In fact. it would bel
! good investment for them to let
you have it free Of charge in
order to prove its value as road
material if they expect to sell it i
for such.

REPORT OF SURVEY.

The subjoined report of thu
survey Of the Road to the Sea
made by Mr.. Walter Y. Kempe
is herewith attached. The docu
ment is one full of interest to thu
people who are interested in this
project, which if completed woult
open up a fish market to New
Iberia that would rebound to the
benefit Of our people generally
This road of only four miles
would put us in direct touch with
the vast waters of the Gulf where
thousands of tons Of fish, shrimp
and oysters would find a steady
market here and within few
years New Iberia would be the
fish market Of Louisiana and hun
dreds of our people would OBJ
tain steady and profitable work
in the fishing business. Our sis
ter town Of Houma has made Won
derful progress commercially
since they have undertaken to
build up fish industry, and New
iberia will be much closer to the
fish beds if this road is completed
putting us within two hours ride
of the sea. In conjunction with
Mr.. Kemper's report, also appears
a statement from DR.. w. f. Cars
tens showing the cost of the sur
vey, etc.:
cdr. w. F. Carstens, New Iberia,
La:
''Dear Doctor have made a
survey Of the proposed road
through Avery Island and across
the marsh to Vermilion Bay at
the mouth of the Salt Mine Canal.
/ have furnished you with fifteen
copies of the map showing the
route surveyed and the surround
ing territory with the names of
the principal owners of the lands
traversed.
| started the survey where the
Salt Mine canal enters Vermilion
Bay and ran N. 3 degrees west
toward the Salt Mine shaft. From
near the Salt Mine i followed the
present roadway to the causeway
at the point where it crosses Ba-

point I have figured the distances

There were no particularly bad
places encountered in crossing the

ment can be secured by excavat-
ing a canal on one side of the
road. This canal should
have a BERN of fifteen feet and
be eight feet deep and the sides
should slope one foot horizontal

those pleasant entertainments
was enjoyed. Some new features
most novel and highly instruc-
tive were introduced and became
part of the panorama. During
the progress Of the feast many
toasts and impromptu addresses
were delivered. Naturally the
center the revolving point of all
the subjects and expressions were
the war problems and the war
questions. Due to the fervent
appeals and narrowing descrip-
tions of some of the war cOnse-
quences a noticeable decrease Of
the former apathy and ignorance
connected with the war tragedy
can be recorded. There is slow
birth of new spirit Of patriotism
arising on the horizon Of the
mental vision Of the people. AS
they begin to penetrate the web
of the war tangle they become
unfinching supporters Of the
President war program and the
Nations war enterprise.
The best fibre Of mans nature
becomes thoroughly saturated
with the movement and enlisted
in the march of right and liberty.
No other agency or element In
our life could test the courage
and determination and capacity
Of endurance and suffering of our
citizenship more than the devo-
ton and sacrifice expected from
each and every American. Father
Roquet Of Youngsville with usual
fervor and impressive eloquence
elected demonstration in favor
of liberty, equality and fraternity
worthy of the heroism that has
written with the blood of the mar
tyrs the best and stirring pages
Of our history. Jules Dreyfus OF
New Iberia addressed the congre-
CATION both in French and Eng
lish and created such vocal
furore of excitement that would
have been envied by LeGrand
Napoleon. Many other short
views were expressed on the same
question and the unanimity Of
purpose and conception estab-
lished the fact that if nothing
else more substantial could be
credited to these little social
pleasures and novelties, the serv-
ice to flag and country expressed
in patriotism and sacrifice would
be an ample reward.
