<DIV align=left> The Norfolk and Western bridge forces have
begun work on the bridge improvements on the Pocahontas division which the
Graham Daily News announced some time ago were to be made. The estimates
necessary to carry out the work as planned call for close to $200,000 divided as
follows: $70,000 on the Clinch Valley between Kiser [<EM>later known as
Carbo</EM>] and St. Paul, $35,000 between Graham and Northfork, and $54,000
on the Hatfield Bend on Tug River. It is figured that other incidentals
will swell the amount to near the $200,000 mark and it is gratifying to know
that the largest bulk of this money will be put into circulation in this
immediate section, where most of the employes engaged in the work reside.
Quite a number of Norfolk and Western bridge men live at Graham and they will
get their share of the big roll of chink that the railroad company is turning
loose in this improvement to their bridges on the Pocahontas division.</DIV>
