NEUROLOGY.

On Friday afternoon the re-
mains of Mr.. Joseph Terrell ar
rived in New Iberia for interment-
The funeral ceremonies were con-
Quoted at st. Peters Catholic
church in the presence of a multi
tude of sympathetic relatives and
friends. Mr.. Terrell, as was re-
ported in the last number Of The
Enterprise was accidentally killed
while engaged at large sugar
mill at Preston, Cuba on Monday,
February 9th. His earthly re-
mains were taken in charge BY
the Catholic Knights and Wood
men of the World organizations
of this City.

Lower Main Street is being
excavated and graded in order to
prepare it for the laying of the
vitrifed bricks just as soon as
another batch reaches New Ibe-
ria. 1t is unfortunate that Richie
Bros who have the contract to
do this work have experienced
such difficulty in getting the
brick here. 1t is hoped since the
railroads have gone back to pri-
waite ownership that this intolera-
bic condition will change. Work
on Main Street in charge of the
Southern Roads Co. should be I'M
der full Roadway within the next
few days il we are to judge from
the recent shipment of sand and
gravel they received this week.
This will be good news to the
property owners in that portion
of New Iberia as they are al
anxious to see the improvements
finished as rapidly as possible.
Once this is fully accomplished,
very probably the contractors viii!
then begin operating on the East
Side of the Teche. The residents
over there are all eager TO see the
work started.

Before the next thirty days, il
we have been correctly informed,
there should be some development
looking towards bringing in crude
oil in this Parish. Almost every
day we hear encouraging reports
that drilling will soon be started,
either in the Petite Bayou field,
or on the lands bordering on
Spanish Lake. With such great
development at Shreveport and in
other sections of Louisiana and
Texas and our field, apparently
deserted, it is almost incomprc-
henslble. With proven field
right here within four miles
| of our City that have produced as
much as 100000 barrels Of the
liquid and then abandoned under
one pretext and then another is
unexplainabIe. GuShers are be
ing brought in every day in Caddo,
and Claiborne parishes by indie
pendent companies and yet but
little or nothing is done here other
than securing options. 1t is real
development that is now needed
here to make of Iberia Parish the
greatest oil field in the South, we
can see no reason why there should
not be twenty derricks ready to
begin operation.

The board of directors of the

Secretary of the Chamber of Com

Despite the fact that we have
called the attention of our read
ers to the City ordinance relative
to driving tractors with Tugs over
the paved portion Of the streets
in this City, in some respects the
ordinance is not taken seriously.
SO far Judge Power has imposed
penalties on three different per
sons and it is his intention to con-
tinue to do so until a lesson is
taught. This is necessary for the
reason that unless it is stopped
before the paved street is even
accepted by the City Fathers it
will get broken to pieces. The
vitriffed brick paving is costing
the owners of property abutting
the street, 1894 per square foot
and certainly they cannot afford
to have it used so roughly by the
tractors. This is more serious
than some people have an idea
and while His Honor has no in
tention to be hard on any one, still
the property owners insist upon
their property being protected.
These tractors can be run very sue
cessfully without Tugs and those
who do not obey the law and re-
move them will have to suffer the
consequences. AS soon as the
country roads are graveled it is
the Police Juryis intention also
to enforce this law, and surely in
a city where the paving is so ex-
pensive no one would be so I'M
reasonable to suppose that they
can break them up with impunity.
The purpose of building expen-
sive highways is to enable the
users of tractors and automobiles
to get the advantage of them
while in the pursuit Of both bus
mess and pleasure, but on the
other hand there is certain restric-
tons that must be put in force,
otherwise even the paved streets
will soon go to pieces and the in
restment prove a failure. IT be-
hooves those who are using trac-
tors to remove the Tugs before
coming into New iberia otherwise
they too will make themselves
liable for damages.

fact from the eases now on the

many days to get through with

Now that the railroads has

entirety to the original owners
after eighteen months govern
ment supervision both Of the
freight depots in New liberia has
been completely divorced. The
New Iberia & Northern as well as
the Southern Pacific will now be-
gin to bid for trade and the peo-
pie Of this community. like those
all over the United States will be
sought after for business as here
tofore. 1t is true we can never
again expect to see freight moved
at the old rates that existed prior
to the war, but the masses of the
people hope for some slight reduc-
tion at least. High freight rates
necessarily means higher cost of
living for everybody. On the
other hand quick transit and eff
cient service means so much to the
business man that one and all,
