The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1922-10-14

Some interesting and important
facts were developed Tuesday night
at the Board of Directors meeting o.
the Chamber Of Commerce relativ,
to the pollution Of the Techc the con
dition of which has caused much con
Germ locally during the past scvcra
weeks.
A gentleman representing th
State Board of Health, was ut this
meeting and made an interesting talk
on the subject. He had made III in
spection of the Bayou eai.er IN the
day, and also had visited the Boldt
Paper Mill plant, which. concern has
been getting great daal o. tic ere
dit, or blame for the present conii-
on OF the Tcche wa.
This gentleman, IN acknowledged
his opinion that the waste waters Of

mill waste water Is disc lorCd, it is
true, but there are no poisonou; nor
injurious substances in this discharge
and the only chemicai u3e,' BY the
paper mill is pure lime. which could

tc The bed of the IVA ma it no doubt
causes precipitation Of other foul
substances, and to this extent it acts
as a purifying apoat to the bayou
Thus an tni.nlnl2d rumor has been
shown up,ard orovrn to be falsa.
Mr.. Max Zimmerman had sent a
communication to the Chamber Of
Commerce, setting forth the position
in which the Boldt Company has been
put by the rumors that thc paper mill
is responsible for the bayou's pulu-
tion. He clearly detailed just what
substances they are running into the
Teche, and showed that this cannot
be the cause of the impure condition
now existing. He further statd in
detail the conditions under which Mr..
Boldt was influenced to erect their
vast factory in New IBERIA and told
of their present plans for greatly en-.
larging the mill.
Under present circumstances they
are expending annually something ov-
er ore hundred and ten thousand dol
lars cash in payrols in our city,
and paying an equally large sum of
money in cash to our rice planters
for their straw, which was formerly
an absolute waste, and in come cases
a source of annoyance and expense.
The criticism of the public as It
has been going the rounds of the city
in groundless rumors, has greatly
discouraged Mr.. Zimmerman, and he
requested the Chamber of Commerce
10 use its influence toward checking
the rumors and correcting the erron-
,uos impression as to the paper mill
being the cause of the putrid state of
the bayou water.
The friends of the Boldt Company
will be glad to learn of

The general low Stage Of the water
together with the great masses of de
caycd water lilies, is causing the
same putrid water conditions in many
other localities, to such an extent in
some parishes that the fish are die
ing by the tons, according to reports
being sent to Commissioner Alexan-
der of the Conservation Department
AS these reported conditions exist
in localities where there are no paper
mills, its is clear evidence that the
big Boldt Mill is not the cause of the
pollution of the Teche waters.
In the lberian of October 7th, we
published an interesting statement on
this subject, received by us from the
Conservation Commissioner. As it
has close bearing on the local situa-
ton, and may have been overlooked
by some who would be interested, We

MANY FISH KILLED
BY WATER POLLUTION

J. d. Devillier, agent of the Conser
walton Department at Breaux Bridge
has written TO the department that
rains in he Atchafalaya section have
destroyed tons Of fish of all kinds par
ticularly catfish and buffalo. This
damage has not been done In the
great river, but in Lake Bjeau and
the swamps Mr.. Devillier attributed
this destruction of the fish to the pois.
oning of the water by the water hya'
cinths, and said there was a stretch OF
ten miles OF dead fish that he could
not go through with power boat (pre
sumbaly owing to the stench).

fisheries division Of the Conservation
Department, says while it is not liter.
ally true that water hyacintbs poison

ton resembling combination Of oils
and acids, and this covers the water
with a thin coating and prevents the
aeration of the water underneath.
Hence there is not sufficient oxygen to
support fish life. But Mr.. Tulian Is OF
opinion that the damage was caused
not so much by the water lilies as by
drouth, by which the water became
stagnant Water hyacinths drive fish
away from the spots In which they
grow. but they do not kill the fish II

CITY TO HAVE new
WATER WELL.
l 500 Gal. Minute Well At
BOldt Mill.

1t would appear that New Iberia's
water shortage is about to end, if
one can Judge by developments of the
past two days.
Thursday evening Mr.. Moresi, who
has been putting down a well for the
Boldt Paper Mill, brought in his well
at a depth Of only 249 feet, being at
that level in an 80 foot strata of gra-
vel and sand.
The well is an IL inch one, and d.
II A. M. Friday when viewed by the
editor and Commissioner Villermin,
was gushing at the rate Of 1,500 gal
Ions per minute of clear pure water,
under a pressure of only 80 puonds
of air.
This figures 100000 gallons Of
water every "a hours, or practically
twice the amount required for the en-
tire City Of New iberia.
Mr.. Moresi has contracted to put
down ten inch well for the City,
and expects to move his outfit Satur-
day, and start operations at once. IN
ordinary good luck he should bring
in we'll at the plant within two
weeks time, which will give the pub
lie pure drinking water before the
end of the present month.

MIR. HARRY JEWEL INVENTS
INGENIOUS DEVICE.

Mr.. Harry Jewel, for years one of
the leading plumbers of New Iberia,
now states that he has things lined
up so that he can get out Of his old
trade, and "sit easy"
Mr.. Jewel has been working for
some time on the invention of de-
vice to be used as crate fastener,
and he now has his work completed,
and received word from his patent
attorneys Thursday that his patent
has been issued by the Federal Pat
ent Office in Washington, the letters
having been mailed from that city on
the tenth of October.
Mr. Jewel will go to New Orleans
this Saturday to attend to the financ-
ing or marketing Of his new device.
He has already had considerable
correspondence with the National
Biscuit Company, and expects to
close deal with their New Orleans
representative on his present trip.
The crate fastener can be used Ell
ther on new shipping crates or on
re-shipping crates, for which latter
purpose it is especially designed.
For I1se on "knocked down" cases
it seems to have no equal on the
market today, and should meet with
a great reception from the buyers of
that line Of goods.

The fifth program will be another
musical evening by the Werno La

Funniest Man In The World.
Jess Pugh, having the reputation
of being the funniest man in the
world, closes the seasons series
with m evening Of uproarous COM
edy readings and character imper-
sonations, interspersed with a sprink-
ling of serious selections.
Season tickets for the entire six
numbers will be placed on sale with
in the next few days, and no doubt
will be eagerly bought by our citi-
zens.
This is much higher class propo-
sition than Chautauqua program,
and is more conveniently attended,
being spread out over several
months period.
Prof. Bahon and the High School
deserve the support of the entire
community in this enterprise.

BLIND LEADING BLIND
IN RURAL SCHOOLS
Woman Superintendent Says
Many Teachers Are Unfit.

Boston, July 3.-The fact that resi-
dents of rural communities were no
longer satisfied with an education in
ferior to that offered to city populations
and the necessity of more and better
professional trairing for teachers were
the central ideas voiced to-day at the
first official session of the National
Education Associations annual meeting.
At the evening session Miss Charl o.
Williams. president of the association,
delivered an address on The Democratic
Awakening and Professional Education" ="
A strong plea for better education for
the rural districts was made by Miss
Minnie J. Nelson, Superintendent OF
Public Instruction of North Dakota.
out there on the plains she said
thirty thousand teachers of rural
schools have only eighth grade cduca :.
tions themselves. and IL Is a case of the
tlind leading the blind. They are not
really teachers OF schools, but keepers
of schools"
The United States Commissioner Of
Education. John J. Tigert. declared that
woman's right to participate In Govern
ment called for a new type Of education
for her He said that vocational edu-
cation was far more necessary now than
In the past.
Those who enter Industrial and COM
mercial callings." he said, "are entitled
to as much help and training as those
who enter the higher walks OF life
through cultural cources"
