Matters of Interest About The
New Line Down Big Sandy.

The first contract for the con-
struction of the new extension Of
the Norfolk & Western up Big San
dy river, was awarded at Kenova
Thursday. The contract was Sc
cured by X. G. Carpenter, of East
Radford va. 1t calls for the con-
struction of eighteen miles on the
Kenova end, and ten miles on the
other end of the line. Work will
be begun in a short time and will
be rushed.
Pat. j. Millet, wealthy con-
tractor who built a portion OF the
Twelve Pole line several years ago
has taken the contract TO build the
only tunnel on the new line, and
few miles OF road adjacent TO it.
This tunnel is between here and
Naugatuck and is at point where
Tug river makes a very sharp
bend. To follow the river would
nccessitate making a twelve-de.
gree curve, while the maximum
allowed by the chief engineer is
six degrees-and there Will be on
ly two OF these on the line. A
short tunnel at the point referred
to gives the road a straight course
and saves considerable distance.
Mr.. Millet is building camps
and will have the work going on
within few days.
Contracts for all the grading eX-
cept the Cassville section are said
to have been closed within the
past few days. Tworoutes are I'M
der advisement on this section and
some important right of-way mat
ters are still unsettled.

gy. A meeting Of the town coun'
cll OF Cassville had been arranged
So that these gentlemen could BIZ
present. After hearing Mr.. HOl'
on the subject of granting the con
cessions necessary for the road Il
build through the town, the cOun
ell took very liberal action in TIL
matter. The three gentlemen pro
ceeGed on-their way TO NaugatucI
the next morning. The object o
the trip was to make some iina
settlements with people along tn
route whose properties have bee
condemned, and it may be that i
a few instances the line alread
run may be changed slight!
When the party reached Naugi
tuck special car was in waitin
to convey them.
In Cassvillc the line first locate
was changed so as to avoid the r.
moval OF so many houses, whic
was about TO prove "A very eXpel
sive proposition. One man VII
owned property that cost him SIC
was finally offered $4,000 for
feet through where the hou,
stood. He insisted upon havin
$1,000, and now that the line ha
been changed so as to miss h
property entirely, he is a ver
"sick" man, aud the value HI
collapsed. There are many int
estlng cases along the route.
