<DIV align=left> </DIV>
<DIV align=left> E. J. Perkins, of the Rinehart & Dennis
Company, was in the city last night and will leave this morning for Kimball
where he will supervise the work of building the Kimball tunnel. The work
will be started at once. This company had a contract for the work some
time ago but following the retrenchment policy then in vogue on this road the
work was delayed until the present time.</DIV>
<DIV align=left> J. R. Serpell & Sons will also start work
at once on the tunnel near Landgraff and the work will be pushed as far as
possible. It will take fully a year to complete the job and the Serpell
contract may take longer.</DIV>
