Coons, president of Devils Creek and Breitenbush Forks Home Owners Ass’n. in the I Willamette National Forest near Detroit, said his and other associations in nine U.S. Forest Service lands also are appealing a new federal ap praisal of the summer home lots leased by individuals. The law suits, filed November 19, seeks a declaratory judgment prohibiting the state and Mar ion, Clackamas, Douglas, Lane, Jackson and Klamath from levying the land taxes on fed eral domain which was au thorized by the last legis lature. The suit contends the tax is unconstitutional and creates double taxation because sum mer home owners already pay the federal government for use of the land. Coons, president of the Dev ils Creek and Breitenbush Forks Summer Home Owners Ass’n. in the Willamette Na- tional Forest. said the market value of 72 homes in Devils Creek and Breitenbush Forks was raised from $87.000 to $128.000. He charged the Forest Ser vice did not allow time for owners to participate in the re-appraisal process and that it used an appraisal figure 60 percent higher than two ap praisers, Marion County As sessor's office which valued the land at $80.000 and James Rodman Jr., Eugene, a profes sional appraiser who said it was worth $74.535. OUR GIFT OF FRIENDSHIP. The Forest Service rejected the Association’s appeal, main taining its appraisal by Mar- I riner Orum, a Willamette Na tional Forest appraiser, was based on property sales repre- setative of the 72 lots In ques tion.
