Korean Angered EP Resident Blocks Road to Community Building Eagle Point The lone access road to the Eagle Point Scout-Community building was temporarily barricaded this week end in a dispute over ownership of an 800 foot stretch of the route. Mrs. Margaret Peachy, claiming that she owns the portion of B st. that runs along side her property, had a barricade erected Friday afternoon and threatened to stop anyone attempting to use the road. But Saturday afternoon, Eagle Point city officials, confident that the road is city property, knocked down the barricade arid reopened the road. Public Road The road involved leads not only to the community building, a $40,000 project ac complished through volunteer labor and donations by community residents, but also to the city reservoir and to the property of another, resident, Ed Chamberlain. It has been a public road for at least 44 years, city officials said. Up until two years ago, the city main tained a dump on the property where the community building is now located. Through the efforts of the local Junior Chamber of Commerce and others, the land was leveled, cleaned up and the building erected. ' Declined to Pay A Junior Chamber of Commerce district officer forum, for which some 150 south ern Oregon Jaycee leaders are expected, is scheduled to be held at the community building today.

Then the barricade, composed of two strands of barbed wire and a saw horse, went up Friday afternoon. City councilmen held a special meeting at 4 p.m. Saturday. After satisfying them-i selves that the city owned the road, they decided to "reopen" it. The council and city employees drove out to the barricade and at 5:20 p.m. removed it. Made No Effort Mrs. Peachy and her family made no effort to stop them. The woman declined to make any statements to reporters. The council's action came just in time to allow Junior Chamber of Commerce offi cials to move 1,000 chairs needed for to morrow's meeting to the community build ing. Mrs. Peachy had consented to let the Jaycees go up her driveway and through her barnyard to get to the building, but. it was believed that a truck could not get through that route. City councilmen also feared that Mrs. Peachy's place might be damaged by trucks taking that route, there by creating more legal problems.
