Mrs. Kuhn acknowledged that cattle have been lost in the area but added that the tenant farmer who leased her fields for 25 years believed his stock had strayed over the mountain or onto an adjoining farm where fences are not maintained. She reported that no rustling complaints have been lodged with police. “And Mr. Eastham has never made an insurance claim. 1 don't know why not if he's lost so many cattle.”

Seven Miles Of Frontage

"Mr. Eastham has over seven miles of road frontage on Route 211 and 729. We will have less than 25 or 30 feet if you take this (Route 629) away from us. If they' have all that frontage, I can see why they would want to get rid of some and get two or three acres back free from the county,” Mrs. Kuhn said.

Supervisor Charles Estes asked if the highway department would put in a turn-around cul-de-sac on Route 629 should the east end of the road be abandoned.

It depends on what the property owners want. Askewreplied, adding that the highway department wouldn’t need a turn-around for its purposes. He also noted that the bridge, on the portion of the road fronted by the Eastham land, would become Eastham property.

The resident highwayengineer told the supervisors they had three options: (1) to abandon the entire section of road, (2) abandon the portion bordered by East ham's property and (3) table the matter.

By unanimous vote, the board chose the second alternative.
