COMMUNICATION


 Only because it appears possible some of your readers might be in- terested in facts, not fiction, am I taking the trouble to reply to the letter which appears in your March } issue over the signature of Peter Wood.
 His letter contains the usual marks of a person who has an axe to grind-false statements, slander- ous insinuations, and the dragging of a red herring across the original issue in order to attempt to con- ceal it.
 It might be well to remind your readers that the factual data pre- sented to them over my signature in recent issue of your newspaper concerning what Wood refers to as the "Gruening road scandal" has yet to be refuted by Wood or any one else.
 The $2900, roughly, of tax money which was spent on the Eagle Riv- CT road should not have been cover ed up with false statements to the press. The fact that false state ments were used to justify the ex- penditure is in itself condemnation of the project.
 Assuming, for the sake of the argument, that everything Wood wrote about the road to my Scatter Tract property is true, it still would offer no excuse or justification for the construction of the Gruening
 ,oad with fuel tax funds. I hold no higher regard than Wood for John Holzworth, conser- vation extremist, who is the plain tiff in the suit against Gruening and others. The fact that it was Holzworth who brought the suit, however, does not alter the matters of fact in connection with the Gruening road. The injection of Holzworths name in Woods letter s simply another red herring. The Scatter Tract road to which Wood refers was not built by tie City It is not private road. There is not parking area for my ] use on the road. The City did not level the road. The road was not serviced first and always, although t was serviced last on several oc- ,asionS.
 It was not sanded regularly. It aas not cost the taxpayers thous- ,nds of dollars. Statements to the contrary, whether made by Wood )r anyone else are untrue.
 Of several neighbors in this area, he house which has the best view of equipment using this road is
 hat owned by Joseph A. Ma Lean, who represents himself to be Woods legal adviser, at least in the matter of Woods letter.
 Mclean, an attorney and insur- ance agent, knows quite well that at least some of Woods statements are false. Since Mclean, com- petitor of mine, is also an attorney. and as such is supposedly familiar with the laws of libel and islander, it hardly seems as if he would have given Wood any of this false in- formation.
 Governor Gruening was in the immediate area shortly after my letter on the Eagle River road ap- peared in the Empire, and was talk ing pictures apparently of the road, my roperty. or both. Whether this has any connection with Woods let ter would. of course. be pure con- lecture.
 In case any of these men, or the public, is interested in why and with whose money the road was built, the facts follow.
 In 1947 Jack Hegstead, husband of Anna Hegstead, approached me with thea idea of putting road across their property to the ap-
