THE HOUSE QUESTION.

Mr.. Jos. VOORHEES, of Lafay-
cite and F. J. KokoSky Of New
Orleans, representing the Liberty
Realty and Securities Co. of New
Orleans arrived here on Thursday
in the interests Of that concern.
The purpose of their visit here is
to dispose Of sufficient stock
among our citizens to insure the
building of at least twenty dwell
ilings in New Iberia. They have
already pledged themselves to
build four for the employees OF
the Charles Boldt Paper Mills.
and if there is enough stock sub
scribed will undertake to meet
the demand for houses here in the
future. Mayor Sealy and julius
Scharff interested this Company
IN making investments here and
already a number of our citizens
have subscribed shares in the cor
poration. This corporation was
organized under the laws of Lou
isiana in 1913 and the original
capital of 100000 has now been
increased to $250,000.00, divided
into $4,000 shares with a par
value of $1,000 each. Since the
organization a dividend Of fifty
three per cent has been declared.
They dispose of the property on a
ten per cent down basis, provided
Of course the purchaser is deemed
perfectly responsible. The As
ISOLATION have erected a large
number of dwellings in New Or
leans and from what we are in
formed guarantees five per cent
semi-annually on all shares sold.
1t will be remembered several
meetings were held recently by
some of our citizens who were en-
deavoring to organize a realty
company here to meet the short
age Of houses. They failed utter
" in raising the money and it was
then that Mayor Sealv and julius
Scharff thought out the plan of
interesting this Company to come
here and build houses. Mr.. Voor-
HES assured us that if $l5, oo5
lis subscribed by our citizens
that the company would erect at
least twenty modern dwellings
here. There is no dou5t the
houses are needed r. New Iberia
They were in demand before the
Charles Boldt PAPER Mills Co
started their mills here, and now
we must have the dwellings if we
hope to cope with the situation
Almost every week newcomers
are endeavoring to locate mere and
become citizens, but after making
inquiries for houses they seek
other communities when they find
they cannot be housed in New he
ria. The Enterprise has repeat
edly called the attention of its
readers to this condition, and the
only way we can possibly hope to
take care of our growing popula-
ton is by erecting the dwellings
Those who can subscribe fer stock
should at once investigate the
standing of the company in ques
ton and if it is within their
province to subscribe towards the
$4,000 they should do so. Mr.
/ VOORHEES, is well-known to oul
citizens and is a member of The
board. Mr. Harry Smedes Of
Cade is also a member of the
Company's dictatorship.

The United Fibre Company
of Baltimore Md, is the new cor
poration recently organized to
take over the paper pulp mill here
known as the Sugar Cane By
Products Co. Mr.. VIM. 7. Larl;in,
the new president of the corpora
ton arrived in New Iberia this
week with several other interested
stockholders in the enterprise ana
he stated to us that the Plant
would be overhauled and within a
few months would be in running
order Contracts have already
been given for some new machin-
erv which would make it one Of
the going concerns of New Iberia.
The new company has sufficient
capital back of it now, so Mr..
Larkin stated to us, to equip the
Plant with every new device that
will insure successful pulp man
ufacture and it was the intention
to run it at the full one hundred
per cent capacity when the mill
is fully equipped

OIL DEVELOPMENT IN
IBERIA.

Last week we mentioned the
fact that the well of the Louisiana
Petroleum Co. on the Patout
lands had met with a mishap
caused by the wrenching off Of
the drill pipe and they would en-
deavor to fish out the pipe, or side
track and proceed with the drill
ling as before. having reached a
depth Of two thousand feet. We
are sorry to report that the work
had to be stopped as unsuccess-
full. This, coupled with the short
age of coal stopped the work for
few days. Yesterday morning
we learned that the president OF
the Company had reached New
iberia with a number OF other
large stockholders and steps have
been taken to change to fuel oil
and drill another well about ten
feet from the present incomplete
well. All indications point to
real development of lands IN that
vicinity by the company above
mentioned.
The Macmillan, organized here
recently with a capital of $4,000
to drill on the Sumrall property
in the proven field is meeting
with much favor and almost ev-
cry day a block of stock is pur-
chased by some enterprising cltl-
zen interested in the development
of our oil field. Under the blue
sky law Of Louisiana which does
not permit the sale of stock for
wildcatting purposes, or with
over-paid officials, there is more
reason to expect the people who
wish to see real oil development
take kindly to an investment in
this corporation. 1t is true thou
sands Of dollars have annually
been drawn from the Teche coun-
try and put into companies scat
tered throughout Texas and 9th
er states and this has had a
tendency to demoralize many who
would readily help in enter
prises of this kind. The law Of
Louisiana now prohibit wild
eating and no stock can. be sold
by any company unless it first Sc
cure a charter from the Secretary
of State. This is an excellent
law, as it affords protection to
the people from so many com,
panies that had nothing substan-
tial to offer.
All of our citizens are familiar
with the oil situation in our prov
en- field and unless local companies
are encouraged after they go to
the expense of securing a charter
and otherwise complying with the
State law, we cannot expect 9th
ers to come in here and do what
we should do ourselves. As stated
in these columns, numerous times,
either an oil field, or a gas field
would be the making Of this Sec
ton of the country and those who
can afford to subscribe should
readily do so The shares are Of
fered the public at $100 each. and
which is in the reach of most any
body.

The duty of this commission is to oversee the laying out of streets about the town and settle questions regard ing tho building lines. Thero has been a strong partisan feeling throughout the town as all three men on this commission arc republicans. Thero should be at least one democratic re- presentative on it is the opinion. Not that the present men arc not capable of filling the office properly, but the fact that tho other party should have person interested in the affairs of the commission is the argument heard. There was Q time when two republicans and one democrat held the office but the latter resigned. He was Harry Castle. His reasons wero that ho was too busy to attend to the duties. The office is a gratis position and no pay is connected with it.
 The threo present members are Charles H. Newton, F. L. Benzon and A. H. CandelI. The democrats have mentioned Edward Prior as possible appointec for the office. He iS at pres ent selectman, justice of the peace and fro chief
