Porto Pico. like the rest of the

cost of living has not been reduced
proportionately. Our greatest pres

ton. Two families are living now
where there are accommodations for
only one. We must have a large
number of houses built Immediately.

CHIEF NEED NOW FELT

Our chief need now is to have
capital look the field over. Once
this is done there is little doubt
that industrial development Will

They promise alluring profits. Busi-
ness initiative will certainly reap
a reward in Porto Rico. The har-
vest Of raw materials is abundant.
As yet investors are few.
"And as for the climate" Here
Honore mOpped his face. II don't
think there could be found one more

the extreme, exhausting heat that
is felt here. for instance. In Porto
Rico it is always like spring time
no severe cold. no oppressive heat.

Porto Rico is a reservoir of rich
raw material. 1t only awaits the
touch OF the capitalist to make 1t
a booming industrial island"
So says Carmelo Honore. chief OF
the Bursau of Labor of Porto Rico.
He is stopping at the Ebbitt while
here to confer with the Bureau of
Insular Affairs.

new industries" said Mr.. Honors

to be an ability possessed only BY
the Filipinos. But now we have
scores Of factories engaged in this
industry. In every case 1t has
proved a financial success.

credit for interesting capitalists

we certainly hope he and his as

Had he not entered this field it
would have been very difficult to

From what we can ascertain
the ballast will be burned by

said that it will take one car O.

Clam Shells for Public
Roads Discussed at
Police Jury Meetin g

, L'iiiSu Is DUI from IOur TO SIX
years. The bonds that have, been
issued and sold for road work
throughout our Parish cover
periods of from twenty to thirty
years. 1t is plain arithmetic to
figure out what the flHe Ne. has in
store for us and what The finish
will be. In other words more
taxes will have to be voted before
even one-third Of the original cost
has been paid.
We fully realize that to ac-
complish desired results road con-
truction throughout the Parish is
going to take money. We fully
realize too, that the taxpayers will
have to shoulder the burden.
This being the case why not go at
tand combine drainage with road
building, and make it a Parish
wide affair under one head. We
Il realize that each year possibly
from a half million to one millicn
dollars in farm products are lost
to our agriculturists. We also
are well aware what drainage and
good roads means-easy travel
and safe crops. We also know
hat good roads mean a contented
farmer. Fifty per cent. of the
people Of the United States are
to-day living in cities. Country
life should not only be made more
en,lurable, but also more prof
table and you cannot have
prosperous country. nor a con-
tented citizenship until we ma
terlalize plans looking to this end.
1t has often occurred to us that
rather than have each commun-
itv band themselves together and
tax themselves for drainage
bitches which in the course Of on.y
a few years are Obliterated it
would be far better to get through
an act of the Legislature so as to
absorb all sof. 4tha4rresent DRAIN
age boards, pay off the bonds and
vote Parish wide drainage tax
Of probably a million dollars and
drain the entire Parish at one and
the same time which would give
us good roads and drainage. OF
course it would be necessary to
procure the services of high
class engineer who is thoroughly
in road building and
drainage work and be guided by
his advise.
This matter of drainage and
road construction is very serious
one. Iberia Parish is probably
,ne Of the best Parishes of the
State and our people can i'll afford
% let other parishes forge ahead
while we remain dormant. 1t
would be only a question of time
when we will be relegated to the
ear. W. will then SEQ oar mis-
AXE, but possibly too late.
We most strenuously urge the
,owers-that-be to look into the
merits of the cause which we adj
rocate and we feel sure that when
hey do this they will see the alb.
olute folly in the purchase Of
