COURT HOUSE CON-
TRACT AWARDED.
Caldwell Bros, Builders of
II. S. Get Job.

The Police Jury held meeting of
great importance Wednesday fore
noon, when they opened bids for re-
modelling the Parish Court House.
Mr.. X. F. Herpeche was the low
est bidder, but as he had failed to
enclose a certified check, as required
in the call for bids, his figures could
not be considered. To avoid compli-
eating matters Mr.. Herpeche very
graciously withdrew his estimate Of
approximately $4,000 ard the con-
tract was then let to Caldwell Broth
ers, who had the next lowest. price,
of $38,500. This figure of $38, 500, i
subject to a reduction of $1,000 if
the contractor is permitted to use
dark Portland cement instead Of
white cement. AS the dark material
will give perfect satisfaction, this
81 900 reduction will De taken advan-
tage Of by the local Building Com
mittee.
Mr.. Caldwell closed the deal, sign
ed the contract, and left at once for
New Orleans, where he expected to
security a Surety Bond and return
to New iberia Thursday night.
He informed the Police Jury that
he has large amount of the neces-
sary materials already on hand and
can start the work at once.
According to Secretary Paul Bas-
sin, we can expect to see force OF
men busy on the job by the twen-
tieth of the present month.
When completed the building will
present an entirely different appear
ance.
The front view will be much i'm
proved, and the entire building larg-
er and much more convenient.
On the ground floor, the Sheriff's
Office will occupy most of the entire
side where it and the Police Jury
room now are, only leaving one small
room, neatly arranged and furnish
ed, for ladies rest room. This to
be where the Registrar of Voters
now is.
The other side, Gown stairs, vii
be fitted up for the Clerk of Court,
all modern fire proof vaults being
installed, for the safe keeping of the
priceless records.
The second floor will be given
over to the District Court room,
with private offices for the Distric,
Judge and District Attorney.
The roof of the building will be
raised, making the third floor much
larger, and here the Police Jury
room, Secretary Bassin's Office, and
the Assessors office will be located.
also the Registrar of Voters will
have his office there.

GOVERNMENT WANTS
TO REMOVE FARM.
c. Of c. Takes Steps To
Block Action.

Following it's almost annual Gus
tom the Federal government has
again opened the question of remov-
ing the livestock Experiment Farm
from Iberia Parish
The news reached New Iberia
through an article in the Times
Picayune of Monday, and Immediate
ly the Chamber of Commerce came
to the rescue, as it has had to do on
previous occasions when such action
was proposed in Washington.
Pres. Albert Estorge being absent
from the city, President AL
phonse Davis Immediately sent a
telegram to Senator Broussard, tell
ing him of the danger of our parish
losing the government farm, and re-
questing him to get in touch with
the proper authorities to block the
proposed move.
Senator Broussard wired back that
he and Representative Martin will
do all possible, and seemed to think
that they will be able to forestall
any immediate action toward closing
down the Experiment Farm in this
parish.

Loreauville and st. Martinville. Ma
terial is now on the way for these
two projects
At meeting Of the 9Th Ward
Road Board, held Thursday, new
route was adopted running from
Curtis to Duboin, cutting on the near
Side of the present road. The new
route will be nearly half a mile
shorter and requires less grading and
no filing in, at the same time ac-
eommodating a much larger number
of property holders. This route will
save about $4,000 to the taxpayers.
We are informed that Mr.. Sum-
mers, surveyor for the State High
way Commission, is now at work
surveying the Loop LOurs road bey-
ond Morgan City, and gives the as
surance that the road between here
and New Orleans will be completed
by that body before the end of the
present year.
iHlS VIII lucdu MUCH 10 new IDe-
ria and to this section of the state
as the Loop L'Ours road has for
some months been receiving a lot of
attention in national publications
that was no benefit to Southern Lou
islana, and kept tourists away.
This is the natural winter route
for tourists from New York and in
termediate points to California as
well as the southern transcontinen-
tai route between Florida and Cali
fornia, and the undesirable publicity
regarding the poor condition of this
stretch of road has tendency to
cause the tourists to seek another
route.
The tourist trade, which is no
small item and which the construc-
tion of first class road will assure,
is by no means the only value this
will have for this part
of the State for it means both the
opening of business outlet to the
east and the opportunity for us to
grow better acquainted with our
neighbors in social way which is
almost as valuable to community.

two other occasions this city has held

nay and once by Lester Scharff.
New Iberia has also won the
Quartette Trophy a number of times,
and has a splendid chance to win i:
this year again with a quartette of
girls.
The Preliminary Contests in Engl-
ish Literature, and Defamation were
held at New Iberia High School on
Monday. The contestants for Litera-
ture were Misses Marcelle Muller

called on the men to have a seven

Following the meeting, everybody
went over to the Sunday School

WORK STARTED THIS WEEK ON TWO SIXTH WARD
ROADS. SARAH BRIDGE TO Be MOVED.
New Route Adopted For Road From Curtis To Duboin
New Road From Belle Place To Olivier.

The Police Jury, at its Wednesday
meeting, passed resolution author
izing the removal of the bridge
crossing the Teche at Sarah planta-
tion, and rebuilding it at location
about one mile above the bridge at
Morbihan.
This proposed plan also provides
for the granting OF the right of
ways and bridge at Morbihan to the
Parish Police Jury, and the opening
Of a road from the new location of
the Sarah bridge in a direct line a.
cross the fields to the bridge at
Olivier.
Secretary Paul Bassin stated We'd
nesday that he has already secured
the necessary right Of way for this
new road, it all being given free of
cost by the owners Of the property
through which it passes.
The new road will run from Olivier
bridge to the Loreauville road, con-
Meeting at a point about mile on
the near side of Belle Place School.
Quite bit of red tape must be
complied with in securing permission
of the United States Government,
before the bridge can be moved, as
they control all bridges over navi-
gable streams. In it's new location
the Sarah bridge will be fully two
miles above the one at Morbihan,
while at present there is barely one
mile between the two.
The cost of moving the bridge will
probably run close to four thousand
dollars, but at least half that amount
will be saved by lessening of road
construction incidental thereto.
Work was begun Thursday morn
ing on the Sixth Ward road running
from the end of the Duperier Ave-,
pavement out to Morbihan, according
to Tom Jones, who with Perry Burke,
has the contract.
They started at the Third Ward
line, and will work in toward New
IBERIA
Work was also started this week
on the section of road leading to

far beyond the expectations of the
