County Assessor Is Upheld In
Placing Valuations On
Large Properties.
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.
