Tax Relief Money Brings No Relief Morrow county taxpayers will get more than $100,000 in prop erty tax relief, but it won't low er their taxes any. The money comes from the Oregon State legislature, the same body responsible for the higher tax rates. Figure that one out. Farm use relief and personal property inventory exemption will cause the higher taxes, ac cording to county special asses sor Joyce Ritch. The county will get $113,773 in property tax relief, she said but will lose $11,033,930 from the farm use relief and $250,383 from the inventory exemption. The higher rates will be paid bv all taxpayers, Mrs. Ritch Grid Practices Set For Heppner, lone said, but hardest hit will be landowners, including utilities whose land Is not classified un der the farm use provision. The switch comes from a law that went into effect a year ago, which changed appraisals ."T i x i x . . I Kl'l UI1UC1WOV J It A I a. oi lann miiu lruiri irue iasn vai- n. . i ........ f.

Mrs. Graham returned July 30 from spending two weeks with the family. London is a wonderful town." Heppner city auditor Al len Langenwalter told the Hepp ner-Morrow county Chamber of Commerce Monday. Langenwalter, a Hermiston accountant, told the Chamber of recent travels with his wife and daughter to Great Britain London, he said, "is a collec tion of cities that sort of co heres." He said the countryside is like Willow Creek canyon, except where dry rock juts out of the side of hills here, it is wet rock in Great Britain. He noted the difference in names in the country, and spoke of the great amount of history that abounds there. "There is so much history," Langenwalter said, "you don't even look at something unless I it is earlier than 1200 A.D." The accountant told the mem bers that some bomb damage remains around the government buildings in the city. It is being cleaned up, he said. Comparing prices, Langenwal- ue to an income approach. Farmers will still pay regular tax rates on buildings and per sonal property, she said. The second loss income comes from a provision in the state law which now provides for an exemption of inventory and ani mals, rather than direct relief, as it was before. As a result, taxpayers wiM probably be hit with higher rates, the assessor said. Fire Film Scheduled A U. S.
