The Board The Association elected An
time Landry as Manager Of tho BOYS
Baatetball team and Janice Scharr
as manager Of The Girls Basketball
team.
1t is the intention of the Associa-
tiop to encourage all forms or athlc-
ties and sport Football for two or
three seasons has been out Of the
question due to the lack Of material
but basketball, both by the Girls and
boys has been a favol'ite sport
Tennis clubs will be organized MS
soon MS the courts are in readiness
Through the Kindness Of interested
citizens members Of the Association
will be able to indulge in this sport
on the four courts which will be To-
Gated across from the school campus.
Athletics and gymnastics have not
had the place in the Iliph School here
that it might have had, due to lack
of space and equipment However,
recently the School was able to buy
rings, punching bag. swngs, bars
and the like, which have afforded the
students much pleasure, both on
school days and otherwise.
A Volley Ball court has been the
latest acquisition.
1t IS to be hoped that when the
new school building viii be erected
there will be ample campus space to
provide for all such activities and
gymnasium fully equipped, which
win make il possible for physical
.raining to be a moving factor in the
'dueation Of the Citys youth.

CHAMBER or COMMERCE GOES ON
RECORD AGAINST PHONE INCREASE.
Teephone Companys Raise In Rates Meets Strong
Opposition At tuesdays Meeting.

The New Iberia Chamber Of Com.
,norce and the local telephone sub
..r;bcrs went strongly on record
arainst the proposed increase in ex-
ehanqc and toll rates Of the Cumber-
,ard Telephone and Telegraph Com
nanv. nj the open meeting in the
Chamber Of Commerce headquarters
Tuesday night.
This proposed increase of twenty
two per cent asked for by the Cum
berland Company so directly affects
oyarv paUne user in New Iberia that
,be Board Of Directors of the Cham
ber were unwilling to take action eX-
nressine the views of this city as a
whole without first giving everybody
eoncernad IN opportunity of express
ing their views.
For this purpose every member Of
tbe Organization, and every telephone
subscriber in the city was invited to
be present 1t the Tuesday nights
meeting. and the interest aroused
over the proposition was SO great that
the assembled crowd filled the room
to overilowing.
Mr.. IL. w. Carver. President, was
in the chair, and called the meeting
to order. after which several matters
of more or less interest were taken
m. one being the entertainment Of a
hundred or more important visitors
who will be in New Iberia for a day,
later in this month. Fuller details
of this Convention party Will bel
found in another column of this is
sur Of Tie lberian.
The special business of the even
inc was the telephone rate increase
proposition, and when President Car
YER opened this question for discus
sion practically everybody wanted to
speak at once.
Mr.. Henry Gallois, local manager
for the Cumberland Company, was
called upon, and he stated the Comp
any's side Of the proposal in a most
concise manner, and invited questions
on any phrase Of the subject, which
he answ red fully. The Company can
feel that its case was ably handled by
their local representative.
IN The last issue Of The Iberian
we published the proposed program
Of extensions Of service that the
Cumberland has planned for New
Iberia. including a new brick building
and the "flash" system of exchange
service This, of course, seemed veryl
The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1920-12-04

interesting to many people, who ex.
pressed themselves as willing to pay
an increased phone rate to secure the
better service for themselves. anc
the fine improvements for their home
town. careful reading Of the pro
gram, and direct questions put to Mr.
Stair, general manager Of the Cum
berland, revealed the fact, however
that these numerous improvements
depend not SO much on their gettin
ia raise in rates as upon this city
making the rapid growth called for
in their program. 1t was further
developed by the various speakers
Tuesday night that il New IBERIA
pays the twenty two pcr cent. in-
crease for several years but does not
grow as they have figured it may,
the telephone company gets the peo-
pies money but New Iberia does not
get the improvements.
Whca this fact was brought out
there seened to be very little argu-
ment left in favor Of granting the
increase. A motion to take no action
either way was lost for want of a
second
"A motion was made to advise the
State Commission not to grant the
increase ut this time, but to allow it
after the improvements are made.
fact, however, that the improvements
We're not to be started for two or
three years by which time prices on
will be much reduced, and
1 rate increase therefore unnecessary,
caused this motion to be withdrawn.
The substitute motion, made byI
Mr. Colvin, seconded by DR.. Shaw,
THAT the New Iberia Chamber OF
Commerce 80 on record as being OPP
posed to any increase in telephone
rates" was then put to vote, being
,arried without a dissenting vote.
The Chamber of Commerce will there
'cre direct a protest to the State !!
Commission, asking them to
refuse The plea Of the Cumberland
Telephone Company.

CHICAGO INDUSTRY
MAY PURCHASE NEW
PORT PENN PLANT
In Order to Obtain Atlantic
Seaboard Shipping
Facilities.
DEVELOPMENT is LIKELY

Instead Of being torn down and oarted
off for the building material it contains,
the shell loading plant ut Port Penn, which
was built for the government. during the
war. and never used. may remain intact
and become an important peace time
industry.
This conclusion is drawn from n report
in circulation there though lacking otil-
cial confirmation that large chicago
manufacturing concern Is considering the
advisability of purchasing the Port Tenn
outfit and moving its entire plant there.
The reason for doing this, according TO the
report, is to obtain the Atlantic seaboard
shipping facilities that the Port Penn
location would afford.
For some time prospective purchasers
Of some Of the Port Penn plant buildings
have been engaged in negotiations IN That
behalf. but from what could be learned
TODAY, nothing definite has been closed,
which gives credence 10 the Chicago re-
port. 4 Philadelphia dealer in generaiitles.
It is understood has made bud OF has
offered TO do 50, for all Of the buildings,
while offers have been made for individual
structures. the idea Of these purchasers,
il il believed, being to tear them down
and take them away for tho material they
contain. Should the Chicago manuiae-
turer outbid the others that would not
only solve the problem readily, but would
simplify matters all around, rs It would
make it unnecessary 10 tear down what has
been built The Chicago concern - said
TO be interested IN the retention ct the
railroad loop that has been built from the
Delaware railroad main line at Nj.
Pleasant. which, II IS believed, could be
put in shape for general use on short
notice.
The Port Penn plant was huilt at large
cost II was gone into on an extensive
scale, with the belief that the government
would need il N prosecuting the war but
hostilitics ended before Il was possible %
make use Of the Port Penn establishment,
and for that reason i never was fully
completed.
