Irate Goshen farmer blocks state road project outside Goshen
A 74 year old Goshen farmer, Stephen C. Smith, protested a state highway project by placing three wagons and a tractor in the road for three hours. He contends the state has plowed under his fence, two flower gardens, and a pond, blocking access to his land. He sought replacement fencing and claimed an offer of 200 to 300 dollars per acre had been refused. The roadblock drew polite response from the state project manager and contractor.
