He gave me the first news
from the outside, that Woodrow
Wilson. governor Of New Jersey,
had become President Of the
United States. I was the first
white man In the Mt. Mckinley
legion to know It. After impart.
ing this news Wada was silent on
other outside affairs. He was
reticent, as all brownies are
trained to be. A fine listener,
but q hesitant and careful talker.
Strangest of all, he had six
other japanese with him. and he
informed me he was going into
the Kuskokwim country. 1t was
a surprise to me. and I wondered
what he was up to. with those
companions. From his papers of
two years before I knew he was
no ordinary prospector. He left
and I bade him and his party
good-by.

To the People Of New Iberia through
the Board Of Trustees.
Gentlemen
After making a survey of the Fire
Alarm System | find that about fifty
per cent of the wire and few Of
the Alarm Boxes have been taken
down from the poles. In other words
you have no longer an alarm system
so in case Of FIRE ring up the
FIRE HOUSE, or No. III, and give
location. If you follow the above in
structions you will get prompt serv-
ice because an alarm bell has been
installed in the Firemen's room which
they will hear at all times.
Don't ring up POWER HOUSE
FIRST because you are losing pre-
cious time; Power House will then
have to ring FIRE HOUSE!
IF you do not get prompt service
kindly file complaint to me and | as
sure you it will be adjusted.

from the Frank Tea G. Spice Co. of

Hon. Board Of Trustees, City OF New

Gentlemen
herewith hand my estimate OF
requirements necessary for the COM
ing year 1923 and in SO doing
have based the estimate operating As
lit present and take this occasion TO
suggest to the Board that steps be
taken to have preliminary surveys
made by competent consulting engi-
neers in which survey a complete re
port may be submitted to this Board
explaining the cost Of improvements
III the Water and Light Plant, that
will care for the future growth Of
the City for the next ten years. The
efficiency Of a modern plant should
reduce the operating expense, as
shown in my estimate of require
ments, by considerable amount
The survey should include the in
stalling Of water and sewer lines to
al parts Of the City at present pop
ulated, and as the demand is grow
ing at very rapid rate for water,
lights and power, it should be start
cd as early as possible, because it
will require some time for its COM
pletion.
After the completion of this sur
vey, the Board will be in a position
to include any improvement contem-
plated for the benefit and welfare Of
the citizens Of New IBERIA.
Should your Honorable Board care
to employ means towards the carry
ing out of this suggestion, | offer
my cooperation.
