In a communication to us
from a reader and an old Con-
federate veteran, we are asked to
state in our columns when the
State Pension Board will begin
settlement of the $4,000 per
month pension recently voted
upon when the Constitutional
Amendments were submitted to
the voters for their ratification.
While we have no definite infor-
nation on the subject, not having
time to communicate with the
State authorities at Baton Rouge,
we have it, based on legal opin-
ion that the first payment ON
that basis will begin in March 1921
when the law becomes effective.
The special tax will not be col
lPctible from the people until
the close Of 1921, but it is pre-
sumed the Board Of Liquidation
will make provision to carry out
the law by securing a loan pred
icated upon the 1921 taxes. This
is the usual custom in instances
Of this kind and it is more than
probable the Board will be com
PEELED under the law to begin
the new settlements next March.

For many months the Fire
Alarm System in this CITY has
been working very unsatisfac-
tory, if we are to judge 5v the
manner in which the calls for
service occurs. Again on Thurs
day an alarm was sounded giving
one part of the CITY When
another was intended. In fact
we were informed that the sys-
TEN is about out of commission,
and telephone messages now has
to be sent in to the Station, rather
than use some of the boxes. This
System was erected during the
preceding administration at a
great cost to the taxpayers and
unless steps are taken to have
repairs made the whole thing
will become useless. Whether a
bond was furnished by the con
tractor who erected it here, or
ibl, we are HOl III DONill' ~
state. but he as it may, the sooner
an appropriation is made by the
CITY for its immediate correction
the better. Unless this is done
at no distant time it may result
IN heavy fire losses i'll New lh"-
ria. It Just takes once for a mis-.
take to be made and the delay in
the arrival Of the Fire Truck with
its hose NAV be responsible for a
arge confederation. Tt is un-
fortunate that the City authOri-
tcs find themselves handicapped
with a heavy Indebtedness. If
If were otherwise no doubt we
would not have TO direct attention
70 the many false fire alarms sent
N from different sections Of New
iberia. Now that the Truck Is
being ovcrhaulcd it would be
well to continue the expenditure
include the electric signals Sc
cs to avert some heavy fire losses.

graded several carloads Of clam

TO keep Main Street free of dirt
it is an impossible task as long

By the middle Of next week
from what we can ascertain, every
sugar refinery in South Louisiana
will be through the grinding ope-
ration for the 1920 season. The
crop has been one of the shortest
and we might say, least prof
liable since 1911. In some IN.
stances some of the refneries had
finished making sugar after two
weeks run. The cane farmers arc
very much in the same shape as
the rice farmer, only getting
enough in cash to harvest his
crop and bring it to the mills
The remainder will be paid over
to the grower of the cane when
the sugar is put upon the market
at an advanced price. There is d
great deal of dissatisfaction over
the. small pricSrealized, in cash
number Of cane growers not
being satisfied to await until the
demand for sugar reaches an adj
avanced figure. 1t is unfortunate
that so many Of our farmers are
not in position to await the time
when they can get all that is
coming to them and it is gen
orally predicted that they will
sacrifice their interest rather than
wait an advance in sugar. These
are unprecedented and
came at a time when the farmers
had to pay big wages and high
prices for farming implements
and unless they are very Jul
dicious0 in their expenditures
many will be forced to abandon
their farms who have no collateral
to get further advances. Were
they to take into consideration
that this country after an is IN
far better shape than many other
agricultural sections and look at
the matter from an optimistic
standpoint it would be far better
for many of them. The country
had to adjust itself and the
farmer received the heav-
lest blow of all. Notwithstand.
ing these conditions they should
all look forward to better year
in 1921 and lean towards more
Investigation next year. Things
cannot remain the same. and with
strict economy and Zeal diversi.
fication the country viii soon re-
adjust itself despite the ruinous
manipulation of the market al
present.

The 6oard Of direct tors Ofthe
Chamber of Commerce met Vast
Tuesday night, rs being the regu-
lar session. One of the matters
that came was the reading of the
resolution passed at a previous
session opposing the raising Of
rates by the Cumberland Tele-
phone Company which comes up
at Baton Rouge as we write these
notes. The resolut8ps were read
and given full approval by those
at the meeting. Another dues-
ton that came up was the Thou
sand Dollar fund collected by Mr..
Alfred Renoudet several months
since for a survey of the proposed
Bayou Boutte canal. It was ths
sense of those present that the
money be placed where it could
draw some interest and remain
N charge Of the committee until
the citizens again see fit to launch
the Bayou BOutte canal. By this
time this survey would have been
made had it not been that the
taxpayers of the Third Ward re-
fused to sanction a canal as was
proposed by the Police Jury. 1t
was planned to tap the Belle
Place canal with a big CONNER
cial canal at the expense of this
City and in that event both the
drainage and the hard wood tim
Der region would have proven a
great benefit to this community.
