1t will be noted there are two
routes, one marked B, being that
of Petite Bayou which would con-

while the other proposed route
marked A to B covers an area OF
only four and a quarter miles.
This route would connect with the

would be brought to New IBERIA
by the cutting of canal of this
kind. There are several hundred
families residing along the differ

country who would naturally
trade in New Iberia rather than
make the long distance to Pa

trust steps will soon be taken to
get estimates of the cost to exca-
