Morrow Co. to receive $18,126 f rom" B.L.M. Co. schools being visited
by extension staff
Oregon counties were to
gain $2,511(1.305 this Wednesday
as 1903 payment in lieu of
luxes compensating them for
revenues lost because of tax
exempt federal lands such as
ftureau of Land Management
mid Forest Service lands with
in their boundaries, announ
ced Hill Keil of B L M. Mor
row County's payment was to
be $1R.12fi.
The payments are based on
acreage of federally managed
lands within the counties,
population, and income paid to
the counties from other sour
ces such as federal timber
sales and mineral payments.
In Oregon 2(1,971.237 federal
acre are covered
Interior Secretary James
Watt said that the U.S. gov
ernment will pay $95.9 million
to 1 fn units of local govern
ment nationwide. California
receives the largest share,
$10,127,144 President Reagan
recently signed a bill amen
ding the Payments in Ieiu of
Taxes Act negating a Michi
gan court decision which
would have complicated the
payment formula by requiring
payments to be made to 17,000
local governments.
Secretary Watt said, "These
payments go to the principal
providers of fire and police
protection, search and rescue
operations, road construction,
and other services supplied by
local governments that col
lectively contain more than
455 million acres of federally
owned lands that are not
subject to state and local
taxes.
"The Reagan administra
tion vigorously supported this
program. We feel that it is
only fitting that the U.S. gov
ernment give some measure
of financial assistance to these
local governments to help
ease the fiscal impact resul
ting from the presence of
tax-exempt federal lands
within their boundaries."
Robert Burford, B.L.M.
national director, said, "How
the local governments use the
funds is entirely up to them.
There are no conditions pre
scribed by Washington.
