FOR FLETcHER'S
Q STO RIA

On Wednesday a largely attended
conference was held in New Orleans,
in the Association of Commerce
Headquarters looking to the building
of good road over the short gap at
Bayou Lewis in Assumption Parish.
This gap of impossible swamp is
about all that now remains to be
built to provide an excellent road
clear into New Orleans. AS it only
cuts across a small corner of As
sumption Parish that parish will not
appropriate the funds needed. How
ever, both st. Mary and Terrebonne
Parishes promised at the New Or
leans meeting to put up $4,000 each.
Because of some technecality in the
law the Federal Government has so
far refused to put up its customary
half of the expense, but strong
committee was appointed Wednesday
to go into the matter with the Gov
eminent and try to get their assist
ance. If this cannot be done the
merchants in the Crescent City will
subscribe the amount still needed.
Mr.. Alphonse Davis was sent by
the New Iberia Chamber of Com
merce to represent this parish at the
conference, and upon his return
Thursday he spoke assuringly OF the
prospects Of the road being built
without much more delay.
AS it is now this part of the State
can hope for very little, tourist trade,
but with this last link between Texas
and New Orleans completed no limit
can be placed on the number OF
tourist parties that will pass through
New Iberia every week.
