Rockefeller Road Gift Sparks Island Controversy
On Mt. Desert Island a proposed gift of 4 million dollars by John D. Rockefeller Jr. would fund about 13 miles of road, boosting local labor and public access while island natives favoring preservation fear tourist invasion clash with longtime summer residents who aided the park’s creation and bought land for conservation. Rumors allege Bath bootleggers turned spotters for federal agents, causing distrust as price data show liquor sells at 6 to 8 dollars per quart, down from higher months ago.
