New Iberia, La, Nov. 9Th, 1921.
To the Honorable Board of Commits
City of New Iberia.
sioners,
Gentlemen
We, the deponents in the affada-
Wits, without comment as conclusive
and unquestionable proof that the
Chief of Police of the said City of
New Iberia, with his advocacy OF
lawlessness and violence, is unfit and
unqualified to serve as an officer of
the law Of this or any other city,
Parish, State or Government, and
that while he is in the official posi-
ton of Chief of Police Of said City,
the citizens of New iberia cannot
expect protection from violence as
has recently occurred as set forth IN
the attached affadavits.
We respectfully submit this, and
the attached affadavits for your
consideration and action.
Respectfully submitted,
Llyod G. Porter, H. Lyles, R. w.
Frame, Rene Mestayer, p. w.
Broughton, W. P. Moss, Jay Taylor.
The communication while address,
ed to the Board refers to the Mayors
Department and Mr.. Villermin re-
fers the matter to Mayor LaSalle for
consideration.
Mayor LaSalle stated to the COM
mittee that his officers were doing
their duties, since in Office, to his
satisfaction and he would not make
any changes at this time; he thought
that if the matter had been called to
his attention at an earlier date he
would have given it his consideration.
Trustee of Public Property calls
the Boards attention to the neces-
sity Of having connections made on
Center Street for water at each pro-
perty, as the Board is without funds
to make such advances to the prop
erty holders, that they have the wat
er taps put in at their expense at
the earliest possible time; so as to
have the water when they would
need it.
On motion of Mr.. LaSalle, second
ed by Mr.. Villermin, the meeting
L. F. VILLERMIN. ED. LasALLE,
City Clerk Mayor.
