thank the Enterprise for look
ing after our interest and the
1berian for enlightning us on the
Federal side of the question. So
if necessity is the mother of in
vention? Let us get together
tremendously and devise some
method of improving present
conditions of this part of Per-
shing Highway in order that our
pretty town of New Iberia may
share her part of the patronage,
from surrounding country, New
Iberia deserves to be in the front
line. ! am proud of our little
City. What an improvement in
streets and general appearance
,, of the town in last 10 years, and
much of this is due to the. local
press, Chamber of Commerce,
and God Bless the Ladies for
/ planting trees and flowers to-
beautify the Pershing Highway
through New Iberia. Just think
of us country. folks that have to
pillow through 8 or 10 inches of
Washed Gravel to reach your
City, and you have the same per-
Torrance to do to reach the.
i country.
Thanking again the Enter
prise for publishing this my
hobby of public road building.
The public may consider the
matter purely from its own point
of view, whether l am right or
wrong. If the facts mentioned
herein does not meet with the.
approval of the readers of the.
Enterprise, the Taxpayers, and
public that have had occasion
to- wrestle with steering wheel
of automobiles while going over
read mentioned, I cant help it.
My honest opinion in the matter
has been explained for the good
of all. With no personal ill
feeling towards any one. We
all profit by our mistakes, no
person is perfect. We all have
good opinions of ourselves, and
fair minded people always So
licit justifiable criticism for bet
torment of conditions. !.
Very respectfully,

tai stage and while we are in
need of large mileage of improv-
ed roads, we should adopt the
''Pay-as-you- You-go-system" as
the roads now constructed will
be worn out, and gone long be-
fore the bonds will be redeemed.
In nearly all of the instances,
there was made no provisions
for maintenance of these roads
after construction. Mel t h r
should we be so extravagant in
spending all the money available
on a short distance. and leave
the remainder of the road of the
parish in an impossible condi-
ton, the money should be used
where most needed for the good
of the majority. The slower
five" should be considered rs
well as the upper ten" In my
opinion the most econc mical
method of building roads ct this
time, with inflated material ans;
labor prices, would be to do the
necessary grading, and main
tain a round crown on the grade
until same is packed, before APP
plying the gravel. Drainage is
the vital factor in road building,
though mostly neglected. 1t
is just as important to drain the
base of the road, as the crown,
or top of road, unbound gravel

THE NEW ROAD.

| June IA, 1921.
Editor of Enterprise:
Dear Sir-Having read your
article in your paper of June
4th, and also what the. Iberian
had to say on June 18th, relative
to the construction of the New
IBERIA Burke Highway, beg to
say that l am in accord with
your statement that this part Of
the Highway between Segura
and New Iberia has been haz-
Iardous to travel over, same has
been almost impossible and
those that attempted to 60 over
this new part, of the Highway
did SO, with considerable risk,
both to themselves and equip
ment. Your article Of June 4th,
in my judgment, only express
|sed the general sentiment of the
public who have attempted to.
use this part Of the road. and
they detour by the dirt road
along side of the Southern Pac-
tic track, rather than return.
over the gravel road, New
iberia has lost considerable bus
mess due to the condition Of this
part of the read, which business

building, if properly applied,
Profit-Island, or wash gravel is
only good where cement is used
as binder. have had Is years
practical experience with Profit
Island Gravel and find that it is
hard to bind unless cement is
used, and a macadam road has
proven to be less practical, than
an ordinary good gravel road,
which is readily compacted by
the traffic to fairly good hard
surface, that is cheaply main
tanned afterwards.
The following combination of

The present method of con-
strfction roads in this parish
that has come under my obser-
vation does not provide for nee
essary drainage. Unsightly
deep bitches with no slope OF
outlets are dug each side Of the
road to provide dirt for raising
road-bed in most instances, then
freshly made grade is followed
out from 8 TO 10 inches deep, OF
a low levee built up on each side
to prevent the gravel from
spreading, then the gravel is de-
posted before excavation or fill
has settled. Where will the
water that drains through
gravel into the hollow of road,
or between the small levees on
each side flow out? The result
will be that the road will soften
under the gravel, and the gravel
will depress the earthern sur
face, forming pockets that will
retain water at all times, causing
expensive maintenance of the
road. The New Iberia Burke
Highway is being constructed
along these lines. and several
soft places have already develop
ed which were repaired, and fill

Monday 18th, on the newly

Several of Doomed Vessels Have

Fifteen ships Of the old navy will be
put on the auction block soon. it was
announced last night by the Navy De-
partment. Several of them helped make
American history, among them being
the cruiser Brooklyn, flagship Of Rear
Admiral William S. Schley, during the
battle of Santiago. Others are the
cruiser Columbia, which in. her prime
was one Of the fastest ships on the sea;
the battleship Maine, which replaced
the battleship of that name destroyed in
Havana harbor: the battleship Missouri,
launched in 1901; the cruiser Memphis,
now a wreck on the San Dominican
coast. and the torpedo boat Dale, which
recently has been known as the Oriole
while serving as headquarters Of the
Baltimore naval militia.
Four monitors on the list are the
Miantonomah, the Ozark, formerly
the Arkansas, and the Puritan, both
of which have served as naval militia
ships at Washington, and the Tono-

One educational benefit of the in
ternational conference is already ap-
parent. The meeting has brought to
Washington from Europe and Asia
distinguished writer's for the public
press, thoroughly acquainted with all
questions pertaining to the eastern
and western hemispheres. Their
writings are being "syndicated"-that
is, published simultaneously in many
newspapers. and it is not to be dis
puted that they are enlightening to
a high degree to the American pub
lie.
The larger newspapers and the
press associations have called in from
foreign parts some of their best men.
who are painstakingly and consci-
entiously informing the omniverous
readers of the American newspapers
of the ins and outs of overseas ma
tional politics.
True to the spirit of the American
press, these thoroughly informed and
capable men do not indulge in prop
uganda, but fairly and without preju-
dice state the facts as they find them.
X X +
Overseas visitors say that one of
the most surprising features of this
conference has been the readiness
with which the foreign delegations
have fallen into the American habit
of telling it to the press" They
contrast it to former international
gatherings. Every day it is the GUS
tom for some one in authority in
! each delegation to meet the news
paper men and talk with great free
dom about what is going on. They
find that here. as at home. when they
speak in confidence. and so announce,
the confidence is maintained. The
visitors say that they have discovered
that American officials discuss with
newspaper writer's more intimately
than is the custom abroad.
The foreign newspaper correspond
ents are as welcome at the confer
ences which President Harding and
Secretary Hughes hold with the
press as any one else, and there. is
no effort to- discriminate, against
them. =,
