Railroad Officials Here Agree on Joint Improvements
A party of Norfolk and Western Railway officials led by Division Su S. Martin and Councilman J L Welshans reached an agreement with the town on joint improvements. The railway will raise the German street crossing for an easier west approach and temporarily retain old track for contractor use, while the town grades High street and installs culverts at Mill and High. The railroad plans to supply earth and stone from the station yard and the town will permit a new side track from Lemen's elevator to Morgan's Grove. They also coordinate with R G Miller on yard grading and pavement. The meeting included a musical note about a future Avilla gathering to revive memories of old tunes.
