Telephone Subscribers Think Demands Unjust.

general meeting Of the membership
Of the New Iberia Chamber of Commerce
vas held last Tuesday evening to take
action on the proposed increase Of tne
Cumberland Telephone Co. rates in this
City. The result Of the conference, after
a general discussion was to advise the
Railroad Commission of Louisiana to dis
approve of the Telephone Company's
plans to advance the rates. There were
present at the session besides President
Carver the following citizens Messrs.
Edwin Estorge, Alphonse Davis, DR.. J.

sard T. R. Gayle, E Vuillemot, L. G.

The attention of the members were
first directed to a communication from
the Unsectarian Aid Society asking for
an appropriation to assist in relieving the |
suffering of the needy in New iberia On
motion of Mr.. Davis, seconded by Mr.. |
Jacob it was carried that donation of |
$4,000 be made to that Society The
question of entertaining the American
Engineers while in our City on December
9Th was also arranged and the President
was given full rower to appoint commit
eos on entertainment.
With this out of the way he then in
yited Mr.. Henry Gallois, the local agent
Of the Cumberland Company to take the
loor if he wished to say anything in be-
lalf Of the Cumberland Company, as re-
yards their plans to improve the serv,Ae
n New Iberia. Mr.. Gallois handled the
ubject in a cool. deliberate and credit

Large Party Of American Engineers
will Visit our City on Dec. 9Th
Chamber Of Commerce will Entertain our Guests
with Trip to Avery Salt Mines.

Next Thursday, December 8th, the
Chamber Of Commerce Of this City will
entertain a party Of about one hundred
and twenty five members of the Amsri-
con Institute of Chemical Engineers. This
delegation Of distinguished visitors IS
made up Of the leading engineers Of the
United States and we are informed there
are in the party several foreign repre-
Isentatives and number Of ladies'. The
Association is to hold a convention in
the City of New Orleans and have taken
advantage of an opportunity to visit New
Iberia and Lake Charles while in the
State. Their purpose is to visit the Sui
phur Mines Of Calcasieu, some Of the oil
fields, our Salt Mine, the canning factory
of the McIlhenny Company also at
Avery Island and sugar refinery at
Franklin and while in New Iberia they
will also visit the Carver's Teche Rice
Mill. There is no section of the South
in such short radius, that offers more
in the way of mineral resources TO show
the sightseeing stranger and South
Louisiana will derive much good out of

heers. It is regretted that the Chas.
Boldt Paper Mills have not finished their

portunities existing in this section, and
especially New Iberia for industries Of
every conceivable kind At the meeting
Of he Chamber last Tuesday night the
matter Of entertainment was discussed
in every detail and aside from the En-
tertainment Committee, which includes
the President, there were appointed to
assist in the entertainment Of the visitors
aext week, Senator Broussard, Messrs.
John r. Taylor, Edwin Estorge, julius
Koch and Harold Kahn. From what We
ran ascertain it is the intention to tender
them a supper at Hotel Frederic and if it
IS possible to get the use Of the Elk
Lodge to entertain the ladies with a
dance. The party will remain over in
heir Pullman until next morning when
they will leave for Franklin and then

+; ebled to conduct the business here as is
intended. Several questions wer. pr5.
pounded to him Of the injustice of hi:
contention. It did not take many M =
utes for an observer to realize that tn,
members present were almost unanimous
y against any raise in the rates At this
time. Mr.. McGary, Dr.. Shaw, Joil r.
Taylor, Mr.. Colvin, DR.. Carstens, Mr.
9veyfus and several others denounced ne
raise on numerous grounds that had is
weight with the audience At this stage
Of the controversy, Mr.. Frame arose and
stated that in a conversation with Mz
Stair relative to when New Iberia .ycq'd
get the improvements, if the Commission
granted the raise. he had been told by the
representative of the Company that it
was predicated solely on New Iberia's
population reaching at least eleven or
twelve thousand. Mr. Gallois arose and
said that Mr.. Frame either did not under
stand Mr. Stairs answer to his question,
or vice versa. as no such information had
ever been given him. It was then that
Mr. Davis arose and corroborated MIR.
Frame and motion was then offered
thai the Chamber take a vote which it did,
and it was the sense Of the majority that
the New iberia Chamber of Commerce
make fight against the proposed in
crease. After this motion was carried,
Mr. Estorge then offered motion to the
effect that the people of New Iberia woul
willingly stand the raise only after the
improvements were made and better
service given.
Several ether towns in Southwest Lo1-
siana have already gone on record op-
posing the increase, but unless a strong
light is made when the Railroad Commits
ion is in session the attitude of the cit I
zens here may amount to naught. The
of opinion among our peo
lie is that the Company has no right to /
xpect its subscribers to build and equip
line for them to transact business any
nore than they could be expected to
to any other commercial enter
