Investigators Admit Burden Is Heavy; Cooperation With Owners Is Urged. Valuations placed by the county assessor on the larger timber hold ings of Lane county and protested by timber owners on the ground the figures were too high, will be used as the basis for 1925 tax assessment, it was decided Satur day when the county board of equalization refused the petitions of the owners foi’ reductions. In a lengthy report the board went on record as being satisfied with the valuations assigned by Assessor Keeney. Reductions were made in the valuation on small holdings of eight timber owners, but these were made upon recommendation of Mr. Keeney. A determined fight was made by the larger timber owners to bring about a reduction in the figures. Petitions were filed stating the figures were unfair because valua tions were held to be out of pro portion to assessment of city and farm property. The board in its report stated that it is possible timber owners may be carrying too much of the burden of taxation, but it felt the assessor and timber owners should get together and reach some basis of valuation fair to both timber and county. Lack of full information upon which to base actual valuations of timber prevented the board from determin ing whether the figures were unjust in comparison with valuations placed on city and farm property. City property in Eugene was as sessed at the rate of 32.2 per cent of its actual value, while farm property was assessed at 34 per cent of its actual value. In the case of the timber own ers no figures were available to show actual valuos except in a few cases where there were records of land transactions, Some of these figures were used by Mr. Keeney, Average assessments on the prop erties in question ranged from $11.75 to $28.75 per acre, it was stated. In making assessments Mr. Keeney used a scale, A, B and C, for quantity grading and a scale, 1, 2 and 3, for quality grading. Cruised figures on timber land were not submitted to the board and the law does not require timber owners to supply such figures. Timber owners affected by the ruling of the board are: Weyer haeuser Timber company, Booth- Kelly Lumber company, Bradley- Woodard interests, Coast Range lumber company, Dollar Portland Lumber company, Mohawk Lum ber company, Pacific Timber com pany, Anderson & Middleton com pany, McKenzie River Timber com pany, Penn Timber company. Drew Timber company, James Sheldon Riley, C. W. Stimson, Lillian T. Travis and John F. Kelly. "So Brown took a course in first aid. Is he good at itt” "A little bit hasty sometimes.
