by those in authority. This canal,
it is true when it was constructed
was necessary for the drainage of
the Southern part Of the City, In
fact great deal of water found
its way through this channel from
the upper portion Of New Iberia to
be carried to the Teche. Now
since the construction Of the canal
to the Bay through the Pascal
property there is no need for any
thing more than a three-foot ditch
to give the necessary drainage
and it should be filled up at once
no matter what the expense might
be. A little culvert is a necessity
the entire lenpth Of the canal
and steps should be taken to build
it before another person loses his
life by this menace to life and
limb.

The nuptials of Mr.. Petro
Graliano and Miss Anna Rockfort
were solemnized last Wednesday
morning at St. Peters Catholic
church in New iberia in the pres
ence of large assembly of friends
and relatives of the happy young
Italian couple. After the beauti-
full and impressive Catholic cere-
monies were concluded the bridal
couple and their legion Of friends
assembled at the home of the
brides relatives to delightful re-
ception held in their honor.
These young people have the good
wishes of the best citizens Of this
community.
At the last meeting Of the
Board of Trustees on Monday,
October 22d, Commissioner Viller-
min introduced an ordinance out
lining another Street to be used
for what is known as a restricted
district. 1t seems a petition ask
ing for the removal Of these GER
tain houses in this district was
presented some weeks ago at A
former meeting Of the Council
and the matter was postponed for
future action. From what we
learn the location Of the new dis
trict is on lands now known as the
Olivier base ball park and that
vicinity. In the event it is re-
moved, and it is more than prob
able it will be, other property will
Immediately lose value in the vi
cinitv in which the houses are
placed. It is likely counter petit
tions will be presented asking the
Board Of Trustees not to deprec-
late the value of more property in
that section of the City.
The members of the Police
Jury were called to this City last
Thursday afternoon to attend a.
snecial meeting Of the Police Jury.
It was expected also to act upon
the bids for the purchase of the
Fourth Ward bonds, but as no
bids were received other business
was conducted. It is probable
they will readuertise for bids at
a later date. While in New Ibe-
ria last Thursday we interviewed
Hon. Numa Mienes of the Seventh
Ward in regard to the sentiment
in his Ward towards the bond is
sue proposed Of Seventy Five
Thousand Dollars for the con-
struction and maintenance of a
model gravel road in that vicinity.
He stated the sentiment was over
whelminolv in favor of the im-|
contemplated. All the
voters wanted was assurance in
advance Of the proposed route
and how the money was to bel
srent. In this respect he said
they were perfectly right and
there would be no trouble to carry |
the election as his constituentsl
were anxious to build model
gravel roads through their section
Of the Parish. Whatever monies
were left over when the main
road is completed will be used to-
wards the different short cuts
leading to the PRINCIPAL thorough
fare. Mr.. Migues has been a
champion Of gravel roads for
many wears and it is his ambition
to see his prosperous section take
the lead with others in develop
