Postmaster Jos. A. Leblanc
of Delcambre was here on Thurs.
day transacting business. Mr.
DeBlanc has the distinction of be-
ing the secretary and treasurer OF
the Postmaster League of the
State of Louisiana. The next
Convention of that organization
will take place at Monroe in April,
Speaking of matters in which we
are interested, public roads, the
gentleman stated that the postal
receipts at Delcambre had IN
creased to the extent Of Two
Thousand Dollars, since the roads
between New Iberia and Del
cambre had became impossible.
He said that he was kept busy
filing out money orders for goods
ordered from catalog houses in the
East and he was blad to see that
the good people of the Seventh
Ward of Iberia had voted to build
model gravel highways. This he
said was bound to turn the trade
to New Iberia since the property
holders in the First Ward of Yer
million had seen fit to vote down
these improvements at a recent
election held in that parish. The
better portion of Delcambre is in
the First Ward of Vermilion and
he regretted that certain condi-
tons arose that caused the small
tax to be defeated. Without good
between Delcambre and
New Iberia we must not be dlsap-
pointed if the trade was sent else
where. Now that a Salt Mine Is
being established at Jefferson S Is
land. we can soon hope for ninety
per cent of the trade from the peo-
pie Of that settlement just as soon
as the highway, such as is con-
templated is constructed. We
trust this highway will soon re-
ceive the attention of our Police
Jury. The delay so far is due to
the gravel situation and there will
not be much relief unless those in
charge of the railroads furnish the
cars So that our Parish Fathers
can oct the work started.
