Persons seeking to become a can didate for a vacant position on the Portland Community College Board may do one o f two things in accor- Weatherization saves taxes SALEM — Oregonians who have weatherized their homes may be able to claim a credit on their 1978 state income tax returns. Homeowners can take a credit o f $125 or one- quarter o f the cost o f weatherizing, whichever is less. The tax credit must be claimed for the tax year in which the weatherization materials were in stalled, with one exception. On 1977 tax returns, the credit was denied to persons who had work done but had not yet paid fo r the w ork. The Oregon Department o f Revenue will honor credits on 1978 returns from those taxpayers who weatherized af ter October 4, 1977 but were turned down because the work had not been paid for. As the law is now being in terpreted, the credit may be claimed fo r expenses incurred, but not necessarilly paid for, such as under a long-term weatherization loan. Acceptable weatherization work includes items such as insulation, storm windows and doors, weather- stripping, caulking, glass fireplace screens or fireplace grates with heat exchangers. A list o f qualifying items is available from the Department o f Revenue. Work must be installed to meet requirements o f the state building code and must be certified by a building inspector or contractors. The weatherization certificate must be attached to the return. The home being weatherized must be in current use. New homes under construction do not qualify. Mobile homes do not qualify. American State Bank dance with Oregon Revised Statutes 259.070: 1.

B So blow the whistle on cold’s foul play. Wintertime’s weather has pounced on us now, bringing the cold and snow. While heat ing systems work overtime to keep \ your home at a com fy 68 degrees, temperatures out side dip below freez ing.Whipped by winds of thirty miles an hour and more, the chill factor drops temperatures further. Your hands grow num b as you struggle with tire chains to keep your car straight on frozen ice-slicked roads. Maybe the cold, brisk air is invigorating... until the postman delivers winter’s first hom e heating bill. Then you want to scream. Yes, wintertime weather runs roughshod over home heat ing costs. And shorter days mean more electric energy for heating and lighting your home. That’s why hom e heating costs are higher. But, with the help o f Pacific Power, there’s som ething you can do about it.
