Charges made
Summer home owners say tax illegal
D William David Childers,
46, of Rt 2, Box 422C, Boring,
was arrested Nov. 28 and
lodged in Rocky Butte Jail on
two traffic violations.
Sheriff's reports said he was
charged with driving under the
influence of intoxicating liquor
and driving with a .15 or higher
level of alcohol in his blood
stream. Bail was set at $610.
Clackamas County is named
as one of eight defendants in a
suit charging illegal taxation of
recreational homes located on
national forest lands.
Plus the county assessors
office states that county
residents in the Sandy-
Hoodland area can expect an
increase
in
property
assessments and taxation
starting this spring.
According to Jack Boyd,
chief appraiser for the county,
there w ill be a general increase
in taxation throughout the
county. He also stated that if
the Summer Home Owners suit
is upheld the county w ill lose
some tax revenues.
The suit involves homes built
on federal land mainly in the
Mt. Hood National Forest. The

He loves you constantly.
And is always ready to

However, the operator who
pays close attention to society's

current concerns being ex
pressed by society, stands a
good chance of staying out of
court, the extension specialist
believes.
W illrich has five points which
he feels w ill minimize the
possibility of court litigation.
They are:
Ensure that the production
unit and waste handling and
disposal facilities comply with
zoning regulations and all other
applicable water pollution, air
pollution and environmental
quality regulations.
Provide an adequate distance
between an odor source and
points where an odor could
offend others unreasonably and
constitute a nuisance. An
adequate buffer zone for odor
dissipation should be provided
in all directions, not just in the
direction of prevailing winds.
Use waste management
methods that minimize the
release of offensive odors,
particularly if the buffer zone is
inadequate for normal odor
dissipation by natural con
ditions.
Use waste management
methods that control the
release of potential pollutants
into surface and underground
waters and the production of
flies, rodents and other pests.

that the homes on this land are
not subject to taxation by the
state because they are on
federal property owned by the
government.
The association complains
that such taxation of these
homes is unconstitutional
because it results in double
taxation and violates the 14th
Amendment. It also contends
that taxation by the state
discrim inates against the
homeowners because they
already hold special permits to
own the homes, for which they
have paid a fee, 25 per cent of
which is paid to the counties in
which the national forests are
located.
