Complaints come to us each
day about the condition of the
gravel road now i'm course of
construction Known as the New
Iberia-Burke Highway which
makes it exceedingly dangerous
to auto drivers. The trouble be-
ing that the entire road is COW
cred with rocks that make il
hazardous and almost unfit for
use. Some attribute its condi-
ton to the dry weather. con-
tending that when the red pit
was placed upon the road bed,
it dried out and found its way
between the crevices of the
wash gravel and now the entire
surface of the road is made up
of rocks. Just what steps will
be taken to correct the trouble,
we have not learned. Some
thing however. should be done
quickly before there is another
serious accident as occurred
when the car of Mrs. A. r. Yea
zey skidded some days ago and
came near killing the occupants
in the automobile. The proper
gravel should be purchased at
once and placed on top of the
pile of rocks on the entire
stretch connecting New Iberia
with Segura, otherwise the pub
lie will not take the chances of
using it and the money will be
wasted. The matter is a serious
one and instead of accommo-
dating the public. it might be
wise TO advise the public not to
use it until the road is put in
proper shape. Only on Thurs
day we had occasion to meet
q citizen from the vicinity of
Pare Perdue and he informed
us that rather than come 10 New
Iberia to do his shopping nc
would rather 60 TO Lafayette
than take chances of coming to
New Iberia over road in such
dangerous condition.

Now that almost every rail
road in the United States have
inauguratcd summer tourist
rates, it would be well for those
OF our citizens who contemplate
doing little travelling to bear
in mind that they can purchase
round trip tickets TO any point
out of New Iberia. The truth
OF the matter is that tickets arc
sold here al a saving Of from
five TO ten dollars, depending
upon the distance. Mr.. C.. A.
Barnes the genial agent of the
Southern Pacific i'm New Iberia.
as well as his assistants will
be pleased to have all who an
ticipate making tours to give
New Iberia the preference over
New Orleans. They are in po-
sition to quote rates TO any
point in this and even foreign
Countries and the purchaser of
a ticket not only saves money
for himself. but on the other
hand New Iberia will get the
credit which all goes i'm build
ing up our City. Our citizens
who are anticipating travelling
a little this summer we are sure
would be much better pleased
to have their tickets read from
New Iberia to New York. or
California than out of New Or
leans. Let every one take into
consideration the amount of
advertising New Iberia will re-
ccive with tickets labeled New
Iberia rather than New Or
leans and act accordingly.

Now comes peace, with railroad
ana passenger rates enormously
increased. Industry, another
branch of business, says il must
have lower railroad rates. So
you read that four hundred mil
lion dollars yearly will be TAX

road workers in order to keep

All of the tracks are laid

and cars are in place 10 be used
as quarters for the employees
of the Southern Pacific, i'm the
making of ballast for that rail
road system, just outside of the
City limits of New Iberia. Few
of our citizens realize what that
industry will mean in the shape
of pay rolls distributed among
the employees here. SO far
there are about forty workmen
constantly on the job and from
what we are informed. it means
almost steady work. covering a
period of ten years. Train
loads of dirt are being hauled
here to be put on the top of the
ballast beds and the vast tract
of land will soon present busy
appearance. New Iberia besides
getting advantage of the enorm-
Gus pay roll will receive a great
deal of advertising from the en-
terprise, which we have been
SO fortunate to capture. Much
of the credit for interesting the
railroad officials i'm taking over
the land near our City was due
to the interest manifested bv
Mr.. C.. A. Barnes the genial agent
of the Southern Pacific Co. Mr..
Barnes is a hard and enthusiasts
tic worker for New Iberia and
we were very fortunate when he
was placed in charge of the sta
ton here.

New Iberia now laws claim
to having one of the b"s
equipped ice factories in South
ern Louisiana. For several
months the new proprietor :,
successors TO the Erath concern
have been expanding thousands
of dollars adding new machill-
cry TO the plant which WI, in.
creased in capacity to forty tons
per day. The Plant is operated
under the management Of Mr..
J. C. Christian, formerly OF
BOgalusa, an experienced ice
manufacturer and he assures us
that his Company is more than
pleased with the prospects for
building up a large consumption
i'm New Iberia. Since the plant
is now operating under its
own steam and they do not
have to depend on our sister
town of Jeancrette for ice they
have reduced the price to 6Oc
per hundred pounds. The
fact of the matter is the people
of New Iberia as a result of the
investment here by The new
proprietors, are buying ice at
Zoe per hundred less than what
it is sold in the town of Crowley.
It is the intention to give not
only full weight but good SER
vice. There are now five wagons
kept busy distributing ice in
New Iberia and there should be
no complaint that any one is
overlooked. Any complaints of
any nature that is within reason
will be looked into by Mr.. Chris
ton if the patrons Of the Plant
will only make it known to him.
New Iberia was indeed fortunate
in getting such gentlemen as
DR.. Slaughter and Mr.. Christian
to make such an investment
here, as it means that next year
they will equipt a first class ice
cream manufacturing establish
ment also. This will fill a long
felt want and besides the bring
ing in of outside money as they
mean 10 ship ice cream as far
East as Thibodaux and West as
Lake Charles where they will
have a large field. The factory
will give employment to a num-
Der of men and possibly some
women and it necessarily means
additional pay rolls put in cir
culation here. Mr.. Christian
has identified himself with the
community in numerous ways,
in fact he never loses an oppor-
lunity to boost his adopted
home.

There ought to be living In Pueblo at

jail to make up a rock pile squad"
but the funds of the police depart
ment have run short and there is no
money available to pay n policeman
to guard the men.
The new appropriation for the city,
that takes effect the first of the year,
will make it possible to reorganize the
ball and chain platoon and work
will be carried ahead.
