Oregon’s disabled veterans, war widows, of the Mexican, In dian and Civil wars eligible for $1000 property tax exemptions have until April 1 to apply at । their county assessor’s office, thej Oregon department of veterans’| affairs cautioned, this week. Chapter 412, Oregon laws, 1945, | provides an exemption "not to exceed $1000 of the taxable value of the property" of the following residents: 1. Any honorably discharged union veteran of the Mexican war, the Civil War or Indian wars. 2. Any honorably discharged veteran of any other American war who, as officially certified by the U. S. Veterans administra tion. may bt' rated as having dis abilities of 40 per cent or more. 3. Any honorably discharged veteran who is rated by a phy sician, but not by the VA. as having disabilities of 40 per cent or more, provided he has not re ceived mor than $1500 in the past calender year as pension or retirement pay for military serv ice. 4. Widow, remaining unmar ried, of any honorably discharged veteran of any American war. The state veterans’ department emphasizes the fact that para graphs 2 and 3 of the tax exemp tion law should not be confused, and cited legal opinion of the PAGE THREB the World’s Best Climate state tax commission dated Feb. 15, which points out that each of these sections stands by itself. In other words, there is no limit on the amount of pension or compensation which may be received by a veteran whose dis ability is rated as 40 per cent or more by the VA. The. $1500 limitation applies only to thsoe whose disabilities are rated by a private physician. Veterans in this category must submit a statement of last year’s pension or retirement pay along with a physician’s certificate when ap- plying for the tax exemption. Those veterans with the recognized disabilities should im- mediately write the veterans ad- ministration's regional office, 208 S. W. 5th Ave., Portland, for a current Cetrified statement to submit to the county assessor. The county service officer urges all who are eligible to file same. .
