There is q little hitch between the

The Norfolk and Western authorities
say that the desired connection at the
northwest corner of Woodland Park will
BIO inconvenient to the road, and oppose
connection with tho main line at any
place, preferring that the junction be
made with the prospective belt line. Tho
Roanoke and Southern wants to make
connection so that construction trains
may be put on the line at an early day
to facilitate the work. The junction is
a necessity for the speedy completion
OF the road, and the Roanoke and South
ern is unwilling to wait for the compile

make temporary construction with
the main line, and to connect with the

If not there is some question as to tho
