Elephants Used to Pull Autos
Out Of Holes.
New Iberia Enterprise. }

New Iberia Enterprise.)
New Iberia is not the only place
on the map where there are bad
bog holes Judging from an excerpt
taken from the Alexandria Town
Town. 1t is true on many of our
streets it is impossible to drive a
vehicle of any sort without STALL
ing. In great measure this trou-
BILE is due to the fact that when
the trenches were cut for the sew
erage the ground should have been
packed tightly and put in the same
condition it was before the
trenches were cut. In Alexandria,
on streets where there is no paw.
ing, there are holes equally as bad
as those in our own city Judging
from the following:
1.-TWO large elephants belonging
to Nj. Il. Clark d Sons Shows, are
being used daily to rescue automo-
biles that bog in mud holes in
West Monroe street. The ele.
plants get in behind the cars and
push with their heads. 1t has
been reported to Town Talk that
numbers of these machines bog ON
this street daily and that the ele-
plants are kept in readiness. The
cars are moved at nominal cost"
