Road matters included a request ed survey of the street - railroad tracks situation in the South Sub urban Area and an agreement for commercial use of the county- road on the west side of Upper Klamath Lake. The tax matter involved prop erty levies against the Crater Lake National Park Company, park lodge operators. Some time ago the reat North ern Railway proposed changes in the South Suburban Area to elim inate a hazardous condition pro gressively growing worse. The railway, noting that some of its tracks crossed suburban streets as manv as seven times at a cross ing, proposed two overpasses and the construction of a new street to reduce automobile-railway con gestion. The court asked the state to survey the situation and present its ideas on the subject. The report was received Fri day and the results were frankly disappointing. The state made a cost estimate of the Great North ern proposal but made no alter native suggestions of its own. The court decided it was not very much interested in blocking off Washburn Way where it meets the Great Northern right-of-way. a railway suggestion because GN plans to add even more tracks to the seven crossing there now. In stead, the court would preler an overpass above the congestion of tracks crossing Washburn Way. Moreover, the court is inclined to agree wilh State Highway En- ineer W. C. Williams, who ob served that the proposed new street 'from the intrrsrction of Altamont Drive and Anderson Street to Ihe intersection of Wash burn Way and Lav erne Avenue' does not appear 'to serve' any particularly useful purpose." The state s cost estimates on what the railway proposed include $226,000 for the new strert. and $232,000 and $287,000 for overpass es on the Old Midland Road.

Main But these aren't what the court is interested in anyway, so Coun ty Judge Boh Walker plans to explain the matter in detail to Wil liams on a trip to Salem Mon day. He will request a new state survey. The olher road matter was an agreement, signed after several months of discussion between Francis D. Brown, a logging oper ator and the court. Brown wanted to use the coun ty road on the west side of Upper Klamath Lake to haul logs, equip ment and supplies. His trips would run from Nannie Creek about eight miles south lo Malonr Springs. Irom which point Brown would dump logs into thr lakr. The four-year agreement stipu lates that Brown may use the road five days a week, must main tain it at his expense, krrp it sprinklrd, install signs and con struct safety turnouts. A father and son. Harry Smith Sr. and Harry Smith Jr., had complaints to make about taxes on the lodge they operate at Cra ter Lake. They maintain that a $370,000 cash value on the lodge and its sattelites is too large, and that some consideration should be giv en because the lodge operates only three months a year. The Smiths said the lodge was assessed at $25,310 for years, on which thev paid taxes of $534 an nually. Last year the county board of equalization jacked thr as sessed valuation to $70,000. on which taxes were $1,659. less dis count. The figures do not include school taxes, from which the cor poration is exempt. The Smiths said thr $370,000 true cash value figure was consider ably more than they paid for the lodge, through a stock purchase and that the Iodic could have been bought for $50,000 in 1951 They protestrd the valuation to thr State Tax Commission last fall, but haven't had any answer vet. County Assessor Hap Caldwell said the high figure last year was set partly to compensate lor too low figures in years previous, but noted that the property has since been appraised hy his staff and nn approximate valuation ot $20,- 000 has been reached. As for the Smiths' request that cdtisideration he given for their ouartcr-of-a year operation, Cald well said there was little he could do under the law to correct the discrepancy The Smiths said they tell the property has been appraised at a fair market value on an all-year basis, hut we still contend the sea sonal factor was not considered." "There is no provision in the law for me to discount this as a seasonal operation.'" Caldwell said. "By the same token." said Har ry Smith Jr.. "it decreases the amount we get out of the opera tion because we are open only irree months out of the year." mfflLffl II! 50 Phone 4-3134 PI Mi I A PAINTING of Fort Rock landmark hat a prominent spot in the display of the Bend Sage Brusher Art Society work displayed in the Capital Coffee Shop In Salem.
