Penland appraisal
appealed
15, 1974
Lake Penland Corporation
has appealed to the State
Department of Revenue an
appraisal increase on its
property by the Morrow
County Board of Equalization
for 1974.
The Lake Penland property
was appraised at $29,800 last
year and raised to $71,560 for
this year.
Basis for the owners' appeal
is that the property is not
salable, and should not be
taxed at its highest and best
use, according to L.E, Dick,
an official of the corporation.
Joyce Bergstron, Morrow
County assessor, told the
Gazette-Times last week that
the basis for the increase is
that a plan to develop the land
as a recreational subdivision
has been filed. "It may be that
the department of revenue
will take into consideration
the non-salable status of the
property," Mrs. Bergstrom
said, "but under the circum
stances we had no alternative
to appraising the property at
its highest and best use value
as recreational property."
She said the appraisal meth
od used on the Lake Penland
property is exactly the same
as is applied to all other
recreational property in the
county.
Dick said the owners are
enjoined from selling or dis
posing of the property until
final clearance has been
granted by the Department of
Environmental Quality, which
has not been granted to date.
The appeal involves only
unimproved land at Lake
Penland, not land upon which
homes have been built or
which are under construction.
UTILITIES VALUATION
UP IN THE COUNTY
The State of Oregon Depart
ment of Revenue has deter
mined the assessed valuation
of public utilities in Morrow
County at $16,044,322. The.
assessment is $629,967 over
last year's.
Public utilities included in
the appraisal are Columbia
Basin Electric Co-op, Pacific
Gas, Northwest Bell Tele
phone, railroads and Colum
bia River barges.
GRASS FIRE
Fire of undetermined origin
burned approximately one
acre of grass on the Marcel
Jones Ranch Monday. The
volunteer fire department
responded to the call, but, the
fire was out before firemen
arrived at the scene.

Fair board
appeals for
support
A joint meeting of the
Morrow County Fair Board
and Fair Committee was held
Monday night to iron out last
minute details in preparation
for Fair Week.
Among the topics discussed
was the lack of spirit and
community involvement with
the fair. "Everybody should
become more involved. We
need help. We can't expect the
same people to do everything
all the time," said Helen
Acock, chairman of the Fair
Committee.
Members agreed that com
munity participation has
made the fair a success in the
past and lack of participation
threatens the quality of future
fairs.
Sunday has been designated
as Work Day. There's still a
lot to do before the fair opens.
The Fair Committee solicits
the support of all the com
munity to donate time and
labor to get the job done.
Those interested in helping
make the 1974 Morrow County
F'air its usual success have
been invited to join the work
crews at 10 a.m. Sunday, Aug.
18. at the fairgrounds.
Steve Van Arsdale returned
home Sunday from a week's
stay at Boy Scout Camp at
Wallowa Lake.
