swamped under a wave of
Kennedy votes.
McCormack went to the
convention microphone short

his name from consideration.
Kennedy started looking to
the future immediately.

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.

age assessments in connection with the city's
new sewer system and stating that anyone
attempting to use the road leading to the
community building would be arrested.
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.
