LAKE TO TECHe CANAL

Iue president q meeting o
the Chamber of Commerce
was held Tuesday at Z o'clocl
Z. M. for the purpose of dis
cussing the Lake Fauss,
Pointe Canal project.
Twenty of New Iberia's S cit
lzens were present, men who
with combined efforts anC
proper support could pu'
over any laudable undertak
ing they might attempt.
AS there was no need O.
convincing any present of the
need for this canal and its
great benefits to our city, the
discussion d hinged almost sole.
ly on the most feasable plan
of procedure, and the proper
organization of the Naviga,
ton district required.
1t was recalled by Mr.. P.
K. Burke that several years
ago the Police Jury had
named Board and outlined
a Navigation District, which
Board, though never func-
tioning, is still in existence.
Mr.. Burke and Mr.. F. E..
Delahoussaye looked up the
Legislative Act governing such
organizations and found that
only by Act of the State Leg
lslature can the boundaries
of such district be changed
when once designated. Other
changes, such as making it le-
gal for the city corporation to
participate in a special tax
for parish enterprises of this
nature, were found to be ne
cessary, for as the city char
ter now stands we are ex-
empted from special taxes
voted under call of the Police
Jury.
Before a vote can be taken
on the incurring of debt and
issuance of bonds for con-
structing this canal it will be
necessary, therefore, to await
the convening of the next
legislature in May 1920.
In the meantime it is the
intention to proceed with all
preliminary details, which
will consume three or four
time at least, so no
real delay will be occasioned
by the legal difficulties.
Some divergence of opinion
was manifested as to which
Of two routes is the better.
The "short route" is &C
Snowledged to be much
cheaper and the probably |
equal from a commercial
viewpoint. It would run from
Bayou Boutte, near it's en-
rance into the lake, direct
INTO the Teche at Belle Place,
between the old Houlton |
Plan tation and Mr.. Euzebe |
1onsoulin's property. It'll
would require 4 miles of ex-
,avation.
The other route would run
rom Petit Bayou into the
reche at some point within
or near the city limits. It'll
would cost appreciably more
% construct but seems to
nave certain advantages that
nay be found to Offset the
Inference in cost of construc-
ion.
After a discussion as to
whether the difference in
,alue Of the completed canal
would offset the difference in
cost of construction, it was
;ound impossible to settle
his important question with
,ut fuller data.
A committee was appointed
composed of the regular Wa
,erways Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce with
several added names, with
he following membership:

CHRISTMAS
SEAL CAMPAIGN.
War Declared On
Mankind Greatest Enemy

"The National Tuberculo
sis Association is engaged il
a battle in which it will be
successful only in the degree
that it is persistent, says the
! November issue of WORLDS !
WORK in a plea for the sale
of Red Cross Christmas Seals.
Because the White Plague
lacks sensational elements ii
does not command attention
and many people think the
subject does not concern
them.
"But we felt a certain con-
cern when the Germans were
accounting for the deaths of
10000 Americans, = how then
should we feel toward the en-
emy at home which, during
the same period of time, took
toll of 10000 lives? The
good natured public is slow
to wrath but slower still to
comprehend the truth when
doing so requires it to change
established notions.
at is high time that we
set yourselves right and realize
that tuberculosis claims a
victim out of every three per-
sons who die between the
ages of l8 and 45,-the pro-
ductive time of life. The
fight against this ravager is
more than a question of
health,--it is one of econo-
mics and production as well.
"Red Cross Christmas
Seals will soon be here and
their sales will register the
amount of fight which the
public is resolved to sub
scribe during the coming
year. We cannot afford to
ignore the challenge"
The publicity to be given
this ten day campaign for
the sale of Red Cross Christ
mas Seals, as we'll as the sale
of the Seals themselves, has
been placed in the hands of
Mrs. Ed. L. Estorge, by the
Anti-Tuberculosis League.
In his proclamation of No
vember 22nd Governor Ruff
fin G. Pleasant says in part: -
II hereby designate Friday,
December fifth, 1919, as Red
Cross Christmas Seal Day |
for observance in all the
of Louisiana; Satur.
day, December sixth, as Red
Cross Christmas Seal Day for
observance in all the syna-
gogues Of the State; and Sun
day, December seventh, as
Red Cross Christmas Day for
observance in all other places

respectfully urg-
ing teachers to explain this

that Rabbis and Ministers
make special mention of the
in their sermons

'or a charity, but a well or

 COLUMBIA TUESDAY

The coming vaudeville attraction at the Columbia tomorrow and Wednes- day of this week, will be the best that has been offered to patrons in some time, the big feature thereof being Beeson and Harris who will provide twelve minutes of highest class fun and entertainment in their Imaginable skit "The Raw Recruit" or "The Original Rag Time Soldier Man" They are both exceptionally good vo- calists and their comedy batter comes fast and furious and this number is a pleasing addition to the program.
 The bill further includes Bird and kema who are also above the average, presenting comedy skit literally sur charged with sparkle and laughs, and the act embodies some rather clever singing and dancing.
 George (Pork Chops) Evers has been called east, owing to sickness of the members of his family, therefore will not appear until some later time. His place on the program is filled by Henkle and Gersons in a novelty mu- sical act, par excellence in quality. Equillo and Maybelle, in ten minutes of original up-to-date novelty athlet- | ics, an act worthy of commendation- The above vaudeville program is en-
 hanced by Current Events of the
