Protest Against Abandonment of the Eagle Lake Road
May 9, 1939
S. A. Webb of Eagle Lake and Pacific Grove, appeared before the board of Supervisors today, a leading protestants against the proposed action to abandon a country road on the west side of Eagle Lake.
The road in question runs from the Gallatin holdings at the south end of the lake, north on the west side, to Champ’s Flat and Coyote Flat, and back to the lake again at the old Stone ranch.
At two different points are branch roads running into the lake shore but not included in the abandonment proceedings.
Spalding’s resort and other holdings along the lake shore would be affected, the protestants say, adversely, and Mr. Webb, who owns property on the lake shore and spends his summers there has been active in arousing property owners to what he considers a most damaging proposal.
Other protestants include the Gallatins, the Forest Service and J. B. Christie. It is understood that a score or more of people have filed letters in opposition to the abandonment of the road.
