THE GRAHAM DAILY NEWS
------
Railroad Improvements
    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 [later known as Carbo] 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.
