BUT THE RAIN, 1T RAINETH
EVERY DAY.

All our farming interests are benefited
So when Epiphany Sunday School de-
termined to have their annual picnic
they said "never mind the weather, if the
wind don't blow" They made admirable
arrangements for transfer al the way to
Clarendon and the beautiful lake and
very comfortable dry and spacious
quarters when they all arrived. But old
Sol hid his head behind the cloud, and
refused to say good morning, and the
rain fell in torrents. But, it failed TO
dampen the courage of the leaders in
this determination to make the blessed
children happy, and in answer to an
anxious question, "an we gol" A
strange cheerful voice replied: Ger
tainly we are going, all ready to start
now. And SO the transfers and many
private cars ran swiftly along filled with
merry happy children. and those who
were helping to make the excursion a
success. Then the sun began to play
bo-peeps, and when they all arrived at
the beautiful grove on the Lake, every
tree was brilliantly trimmed with
sparkling rainbows in every drop Of
water. Even the tiny children were inn
pressed with the beauty of the scene.
Letcher Grant and is family and DR..
Costing and his family were rusticating
for a short while beside the lake, and
were glad to welcome their home friends.
The Lake added fish and crabs to the al
ready abundant dinner. The pianola
played merry music, and the young folks
skipped about in graceful motion. Then
the girls and the boys went into the
water, some merely to splash, and other
to swim. There were some expert swim
mers among the boys. Grant Miller
lately out of our Navy at one time won
prize for diving and remaining longest
undsf water and in contest in the far
East. De won a prize as the most capable
and graceful swimmer But he learned
to swim in our own Bayou Teche. The
afternoon was perfect and everybody de-
clared there never was more delightful
picnic. M. L. P.

A COMMUNICATION.

! Avery Island. La, June 10th.
Editor Enterprise:
Dear Sir-In your favorable
comment in last weeks issue of
your paper on the experimental
piece of ccmentitiouS sandstone
road near Boutte switch, put
down at the expense of my
aunt, Mrs. VIM. Preston john
ston. under the supervision of
Mr.. Phil Broughton who made
no charge for his valuable ser
you say we are surprised
MIR. Avery had not called this
material to public attention be-
fore. have to differ with you
in this.
Six or seven years ago. on the
completion of the new Avery Is
land road. | went before the
Police Jury on behalf of the
owners of Avery Island offering
to donate this material to sur
face this road from the town
limits to the toll gate. The
answer of the Jury being no
funds for the work. think
you will find this offer in the
minutes of the Jury at that
time. If | am not mistaken
| made a like offer to the last
Jury. getting the same answer.
On behalf of my co-owners
now make the above offer to
the present Police Jury.
An experimental piece of road
on Avery Island built of this ma
tcrial. near the heron pond,
where every vehicle is compelled
to pass coming on the Island,
stood without repairs for over
five years.
If the material is what we be-
lieve it to be. the experimental
piece Of road will speak for il
self. Should it prove worthless
we have no desire to merchan-
disc it.
Respectfully,

a large number of motor boats
carrying passenger and freight
traffic in the Parish that have
not been carried on the assess
mcnt roll, these boats should be
taxed.
This Board also calls the at
tention of the State Board of At

Parish of Iberia that a large
number of motor vehicles are
being operated in the Parish of
Iberia, that do not bear its pro-
portion of taxes. These items

on account of the decrease in
value of all agricultural lands
and implements. shortage of
feed and low prccs of Farm
Stock have decreased the as
scsSnent on mules in this Par
ish and also horses and other
work stock from $4,000 to
$4,000 per head. This in tie
opinion of this Board as being
fair valuation on account of the
conditions existing in this sec
ton.
In conclusion this Board de-
sires to say that it has seen fit
to rcclassify certain lands in this
Parish which were heretofore
classcd as Class "a, for the rca-
son that it was of the opinion
that a large number of acres of
lands that should have been
classcd as Class B were in Class
A. This class of land that have
been classed as Class b were in
Class A: This class of land
that have been decreased are
that class of lands for which the
proprietors have been obliged to
vote a special tax forthe pur-
pose of draining same to en-
able them to grow sugar cane
and that in some instances some
owners were obliged to put up
artificial drainage plants to
maintain their lands.
This board would, without
IN any way. desiring to trespass
upon the authority of the State
Board of Affairs. respectfully
suggest that the lands that are
now being classes as denuded
cypress swamp land should be
reclassified and assessed for
gum stumpage or hard wood
lands.
The Board of Equalization
would call the attention to the
State Board of Affairs to the
book of instructions sent to the
Assessor wherein the assessment
of the Parish of Iberia, is in
structed to assess dcnuded cy-
press swamp land $3.50 and that
subsequent to this issue the
State Board of Affairs have
adopted resolution to place de-
nuded cypress swamp land in
Class A at One Dollar per acre,
the Assessor should be officially
notified what valuation he
should place on the assessment
of 1921.
This Board finds that the Of
flee of the Assessor is being
properly taken care of and the
assessor and the force should be
commended for their services
rendered to the Parish and the
State.
