6 - SANDY (Ora.) POST Thurs. March 21. 1974 (Sac. 1) Seniors have until April 1 to file tax deferral Smelt run hits third big week Clackamas County Assessor Juanita Orr reminded local senior citizens today that they have until April 1 to file a claim for property tax deferral with the county assessor and the state treasurer. The program is available to anyone more than 65 years of age, Mrs. Orr said. To qualify for property tax deferral, the property must be the ta x p a y e r’s homestead and must not be income- producing property. If granted deferral, the taxes on the property are paid to the county by the state treasurer rather than by the taxpayer. The amount paid by the state becomes a lien against the taxpayer’s property. The lien becomes due when the taxpayer sells the property, begins receiving income from the property, no longer lives on the property (unless forced to leave for health easons), or dies. “ This program should not be confused with the new property tax refund As the Sandy River smelt run hits its third week, Tuesday, local residents who were ecstatic about the beginning of run Feb 26. tend to peer into the water and say, “Are you still here?” The tiny fish surpassed the previous recorded record of 17 days' for duration last week Tuesday marked the 22nd day River watchers, though cautious about out guessing the mysterious smelt, estimate the run may last several more days. Dippers continue to beat a path to the river and talk is going around about reviving the smelt eating contests of earlier years BMAC takes championship The Blue Marlin Aquatic Club, Sandy, won the Senior Championship in the state of Oregon at an AAU meet last weekend The meet took place at the Tualatin Hills pool in Beaverton Saturday, March 16, and Sunday, March 17.

Observers said Saturday's crowd was the largest Commercial fe rtiliz e r may be in short supply Your gardening efforts may fall short of delivering expected results if you depend upon commercial forms of fertilizer next spring to furnish all your garden's plant food needs. Commercial fertilizers are expected to be in short supply affecting all users to the point where production m ay be seriously affected. A partial solution to the plant food shortage can be yours for a little extra effort according to W ilbur W. B u rk h a rt, area extension agent. He recommends letting the garbage disposal in the kitchen sink go without use. Instead, take the material it usually sends down the drain outside to the compœt site where it will be placed on the garden plots to become organic plant food noted for having a beneficial effect upon the physical condition of the soil. Compost made in a pile should be controlled by con struction of a square or circular enclosure from scrap lumber or chicken wire. A lte rn a tin g layers of vegetable tops, peelings, and even bones are placed inside the enclosure with layers of soil and allowed to go through a digestion process carried out by microorganisms Decomposition is hastened by stirring the pile two or three times during the winter to insure am ple aeratio n and moisture. When the spring garden season arrives, the organic form of plant food will be ready for use. Burkhart says patience may be necessary to see the results since some soils require use of the practice for a year before they become “ primed” and ready to produce maximum crops of fruits, vegetables or flowers.

While the deferral program has been available to senior citizens within the county since 1963, very few of those eligible for the deferral have taken ad vantage of the program, Mrs. Orr said. During 1973, only 258 applications for deferral were advanced to the counties by the state treasurer from throughout the entire state.

The first item concerns a progress report of the work being done at Cedar Creek Fish Hatchery and the potential impact of any future changes on creek use on area residents. The group will also discuss the election of officers to form a neighborhood com mittee which will meet the guidelines specified in Senate Bill 100 and the Clackamas County Comprehensive Plan. The third issue to be discussed at the meeting will concern providing maps which will allow owners of presently un zoned land lying within the boundaries of Firwood (as defined by the Sandy-Boring Study) to indicate their zoning preferences to the proper authorities. The maps, provided by the county, are being offered to residents as an alternative to having too little voice in the ultimate zoning decision made via the state statute, Senate Bill 100.
