Slight rebuttal offered to previous writer

To The Eagle:

In last week's Eagle, a remark by Hannah Booth-Watts in a letter to the editor, was made concerning the paving of the Elochoman Road by the county.

My husband and I think that is in error. For those of us who have lived here a long time, we remember that the Elochoman Road was once a state highway, and they are the ones that actually paved the road.

Later on, as the state starting giving the counties some of these smaller highways, the county took over. So, while continuing maintenance and improvements happened while under the county's ownership, we are quite sure that the original paving actually happened when it was under the control of the state highway department.
