i jMV V The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon. Thursday, August 9, 1979 SEVEN County forced to roll back Pacific Power's property taxes Morrow County is one of 28 counties in the state to receive recomputed assessments of Pacific Power and Light Company, following a Sup reme Court decision. The counties will have to make refunds for some of the 1975 and 1976 property taxes collected from the utility. Morrow County's valuation computed in 1976 at $1,462,540 was reduced to $1,120,449, a $342,091 reduction. Heppner couple has baby son Mr. and Mrs. William M. Helphinstine, Heppner are the parents of a son, Kris William, 9 lbs., 12 oz. He joins a brother at home, Kurt. Utility company property is appraised by the revenue department which provides counties with the valuations. Counties then apply local tax rates to those valuations. The counties will use the re computed values to figure out what tax refunds are due the utility. Pacific Power and Light disagreed with the values set by the revenue department for 1975 and 1976. The dispute was heard in the Oregon Tax Court, then in the Oregon Supreme Courl. The counties will use the recomputed property values to make refunds, plus interest of 1 percent per month, for taxes that were collected on the original assessments.
