MAIL TRIBUNE, Mfford, Or. ThurMlay, Jan. 28, 1960 A 3 Value Increases Of Land Along Freeway Noted Salem-Studies of land val ues in the area traversed by the Baldock Freeway have revealed substantial increases in the value of the property in most cases, according to the Oregon state highway department. Results of a land economic tudy made of property be fore and after the freeway was built are explained in a paper prepared for the high way research board by Leon ard I. Lindas, highway de partment chief counsel. The study showed that damages were paid to the landowner in 65 per cent of the cases studied, although the damages were warranted in only 10 per cent of the cases. Lindas reported. It was also shown that the amounts paid by the state in the war ranted cases of damage were 15 times greater than just ified. Owner Suffers In 11 cases cited by Lindas as examples there was one property owner who suffered a loss of $6,000 due to the taking of property and the effect of the freeway upon his business. In other exam ples all property owners benefited by amounts rang ing from 52,200 to $52,080. Reason for actual benefits accruing to property which had been bisected by the free way ranged from interchange areas making the land use able for business to re-ar rangement of land for more efficient agricultural pur suits. In summing up the re port, Lindas pointed out that future land acquisitions for freeway use should have ap praisals reflecting special benefits for land use which would not be possible with out the' freeway. The study involves some 23 parcels of land, the sales of which, in whole or in part have occurred subsequent to the construction and opening of the Baldrock Freeway. The purpose of the research was to secure information in dicative of the relative in fluence of freeway construc tion upon the value of the abutting properties. Details of the study were conducted by the late Burton Dunn of the highway department's right of way section. Oregon Herefords Bound for Hawaii Salem - Nearly 500 head of Oregon Hereford cattle have passed all health require ments and will soon be grazing contentedly on a large ranch on the Hawaiian Is lands. This is the largest shipment of Oregon livestock to Hawaii in some years and is the first since statehood, says the state department of agriculture. The shipment, by boat out of San Francisco, included 294 eight to twelve months old stock from a ranch in Grant county and 171 head of young stock from a Baker county ranch. The animals will be used for breeding stock. Previous sizable shipment of animals to Hawaii was 200 goats which went out by boat from Portland about two years ago. At that time, health clearance was made by the office of the federal veterin arian in Oregon, Dr. A. G. Beagle. In the January ship ment, because Hawaii is now a state, the health clearance was made by the state veterin arian. Dr. L. E. Bodenweiser. Health requirements includ ed, besides brucellosis and tuberculosis clean records, special tests for anaplasmosis and leptospirosis. Spending for Health Studied by Group New York - (Science Serv ice) Spending for health care shows relatively little variation by family income, a survey conducted in Hacken sack, N.J., revealed. High-income families (those making $9,000 a year and more) spent an average of $232 a year for all health care exclusive of health insurance. Families making less than $5,000 spent an average of $147. High-income families spent more for doctors' services, but "only because their average cost for each contact with a physician was higher." Low - income families were found to have used more physicians' services and to have averaged higher hospital costs. The difference in total expenditures between the two groups could be ac counted for mainly by the high-income families' greater utilization of dental and op tical services, the Health In formation foundation, which supported the survey, report- EXTRA SAVINGS Friday and Saturday MVS IB HEER You'll Find "MORE" of Everything In Downtown Medford hose SPECIAL PURCHASE!
