New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1917-04-07

An interesting meeting Of tn,
Police Jury took place on Thurs
day and aside from the transac
: ton Of their routine business tn,
members were all unanimous anC
enthusiastic in their efforts to EN-
courage the residents of the diff
ferent Wards of the Parish tt
| build model gravel roads. Pres
! ldent EstOrge of the New Iberia
| Chamber of Commerce, DR.. II. A
Hing and others addressed the
meeting OH behalf Of the Sixth
Ward and stated that they felt
the property holders of this Ward
would tax themselves sufficiently
to build a gravel road if a tax
We're submitted to the people for
their approval From what we
learn the residents of the Fourth.
Fifth and Third Wards are all
DESTROYS of seeing gravel roads
permeate their Wards from every
direction. Mr.. A. A. -Theriot, the
President Of the Jury as well as
Hon. Adrien Gonsoulin of the
Third md Fourth Wards are do
inc everything possible to see
gravel roads in their Wards and
it is more than probable once the
work is started every Ward in
the Parish will vote a small fax
to carry on these road improve
ments. Good gravel roads are
the best and cheapest in the long
run and with good system of
drainage no difficulty should be
encountered in keeping them ND
once they are constructed.
