dollars was put into circulation despite the fact that large

the refinery itself stood on the as
$6O0O0OO and its proportion of the taxes voted

PARISH WIDE TAX FOR
ROADS,

The building Of gravel roads IL
this Parish is the most serious
question confronting our citizens
at this time. It is true in every
Ward the people have responded
and gave their approval to the
special taxes in the recent tax
election. as they were called by
The Police Jury. For the reason
. that il has been impossible to Sc
cure the material, the bonds in
two or three Wards have never
been sold, and aside from the lit
dc work that has been done in the
Sixth Ward, the whole road work
is delayed to what the Police Jury
thinks a more opportune moment.
In the meantime strong senti-
ment has been moulded to launch
a general campaign for a Parish
wide tax so that not only the
main highways leading to the diff
gfcrent settlements will be con-
strpcted, but all Of the lateral
roads AZ well. Until a Parish wide
tax is voted which would put into
the hands Of the Police Jury Five
or Six Hundred Thousand Dol
lars we cannot hope for much re-
lief owing to the great cost Of
transportation.
AT q recent meeting Of the New
iberia Chamber Of Commerce, this
question was thrashed ont in every
detail, and ere many weeks an
organization may be formed in
each Ward Of the Parish looking
forward to q Parish wide tax dur.
ing March, April or May, If not
earlier. Only a few days ago we
had a visit by one Of the farmers
Of the Seventh Ward. and he told

removal of the shacks and cabins
in the entire square. Next year
also, the owners Of the valuable
commercial property on Fisher
Street will commence the erection
of a large brick wholesale store
and warehouses for the conduct
of their wholesale business in this
territory. These improvements,
taken in conjunction with the
paving Of our Main thoroughfare,
which is now under Roadway will
not only give employment to a
large number of artizans. but be
substantial improvements that
will 'be the best advertisement
New Iberia has ever had. The
prospects are now bright for n
bigger and better City and a more
prosperous community and when
the two canal projects are sub
to our people for their en-
we feel certain there
will be no trouble in carrying the
small taxes. Let us all put our
shoulders to the wheel and ere
the next two years there will be
work and business for everybody.

with the condition Of the public
roads, and said he felt very much
like removing to a Parish where
there were already gravel high
ways. In discussing with him a
Parish wide tax, he stated that
the movement could not be started
too soon. and he felt certain a
general tax could easily be car
ried. There is no gainsaying the
fact that the farmers themselves
who need good roads to haul their
products to market are more than
anxious to see work begin, and
there are but few who would vote
down tax to get some relief from
the present mud holes. In another
column there appears a commun-
ication sent to us from a lady,
reader Of The Enterprise, that
should make our New Iberia bus
mess men stand back Of q move
|ment to carry a special tax as
quickly as possible. Aside from
the great loss to the farmer in
time, and wear and tear on teams
which run Into thousands Of dol
lars annually, the New Iberia
business houses are suffering i'm
menselv because the country peo-
Pile cannot get to town to do their
trading. The result is the large
department stores Of the East arc
reapine the benefit. Public roads
are the most essential require
ments needed in this Parish, and
unless the movement is given the
proper impetus bv the people Of
this City, even December 1920 will
find the same state of affairs still
prevailing.
The probabilities are that there
will be little. If any. road work
in the Parish this winter owing TO
the many disadvantages in which
the Board Of Road Supervisors
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1919-12-13

find themnelves at present. This
being true, steps should imme-
diatelv be taken to drain out the
numerous bad holes in the Parish
at once and fill them with bats,
shells, or other material in order
that our country people will be in
position to come to the Parish
seat to transact business. The fact
that taxes have been voted does
ameliorate conditions one bit.
The roads should be fixed now
no matter at what cost.

SPLENDID FIRE PROTECTION

After several weeks duration
the Carver Teche Rice Milling Co.
of this City can now lay claim to
one of the best fire protection
systems Of any industry in the
State. They have just had in
stalled a sprinkling apparatus, at
a cost of $3O,OO0.O0 which has re-
duced their insurance from $500
per hundred to fifty cents. 1t con
tains several hundred water pipes
which are run along the ceiling
and walls ON the same principle
Of that installed in the Estorge
drug store. excepting that it
Is even more complete. On Tues
day test and inspection was
made under the supervision of the
Underwriters of Louisiana, and
we understand it was pronounced
perfect success. As conse-
quence, in very few years it will
ray for itself in the saving Of in.
surance premiums. In fact. from
what we are informed the mill is
now fire-proof and the owners are
more than satisfied with the in
vestment.
The Carver rice mill is TODAY
one of New iberia 5 largest indus
tries and it would be hard mat
ter to arrive at conclusion as to
its value, when taking into con
sideration the number Of men on
IT'S pay rolls. 1t employs large
number of well paid salaried men,
who otherwise no doubt would
have had to seek other fields for
steady work. From what we
learn they have done upwards Of
a Million Dollars worth of bust
ness since the mill was started
this season alone, so our citizens
can readily nee to what extent this
CITY has been benefited since its
establishment here. Even last
year. despite the late start milling
rice. the business of this concern
ran into the thousands Of dollars.
Aside from the investment, New
iberia has gained materially
having amongst it's business circle,
such gentlemen as Messrs. Hiram
w. and w. H. Carver who are
foremost in every movement cal
culated to benefit the community.
Another industry Of the same
magnitude would materially aid
in our growth and prosperity.

NEW IMPROVEMENTS

|
ing lumber and other building
material. we notice Mr.. Naviel
lIerpeche has commenced reno
waiting several buildings on ON
Main Street. Last week worl
was begun on the King building
adjoining the People s National
Bank, and it will be pushed tc
completion just as rapidly as pos
sible under the circumstances. Or
Monday last the Woodmen com
menced removing all of the inside
woodwork in the old Segurd
stores at the corner of Main and
Julia Streets. This structure
when finished will be one of the
handsOmest on our Main Avenue
The entire brick walls facing
Main Street will be removed and
be supplanted with glass and thu
two stores converted into one
structure. The lower floor will
be occupied by the McCarroll Auto
Company of Franklin who will
stock it with automobiles. This
concern has closed lease with
the Lodge for term of five years.
The upper front balcony will be
changed completely and the up
per portion used as Lodge Room
for that fraternal and benevolent
society. Work was also com
menced on the Leblanc & Brous-
sard garage near the Post Office.
This firm will erect another brick
story which will make of it the
finest Ford salesrooms and as
sembly station in Louisiana. This
concern has naturally met with
wonderful success here and
have to considerable extent out
grown their present headquarters.
The Pythian home and the build
ing of Mrs. Sarah Barnard will
also be completed during the early
part Of 1920, if the material is
available, and that of itself will
add materially to the embellish-
ment Of our main thoroughfare.
Work on the old Alma House
which is being converted into an
elegant home for the Elk Lodge,
is being pushed as rapidly as pos
sible. When it is completed. there
will be no finer Lodge building in
the State, outside of New Orleans.
Two other pretentious structures
which will help to beautify our
City during the latter part of next
year will be the large Dauterive
furniture establishment at the
corner Of Main and Bridge Streets
and the New iberia High School.
wherein something like 5000, 900 90
will be expended. 1t is said the
members Of the School Board
have about agreed upon a site
the entire block on the east side
Of Center Street from Railroad
Avenue to Pershing Street, form
erly known as Madison. We be-
lieve this site will meet the ap-
proval Of the people of this com
munity because Of its central To-
cation and that section of New
iberia will then be a better resi-
dental location on account Of the
