Com pare Assessed Values and Millage The individual taxpayer often compares his tax bill with that of his neighbor. Perhaps he thinks that his property is as sessed too high. Perhaps he be lieves that the assessor has made a mistake in computing his bill; or possibly the taxpayer believes that his property is not subject to taxation. Each of these problems should be handled differently. For example, when you are in terested in determining whether or not your property is assessed at the proper level you should not compare t^e taxes but you should compare assessed valuations, be cause this is the only part of the process for which the assessor is directly responsible. There Are Other Factors That May Influence Tax Bills Utility Ratios: Hhere are the facts conermng utility ratios: 1. The present util ity rations are high in relation to those on other classes of pro perty in your county. 2. The 1951 Legislature instructed the State Tax Commission to trend these ratios to the level of those on lo cally assessed property in the various counties. This ais being complied with. Exemptions: Here are the facts concerning exemptions: 1. Every time an exemption is allowed for proper ty, the total assessed value is de creased by just that much. The money to be raised is unchanged. Those who receive no such ex emption must shoulder the bills by paying proportionately more taxes. State Levy of Taxes: 1. The state as a whole will have to raise additional money to pay for the many services needed to continue its program. 2. The State Legislature may decide that a portion of this money is to be raised through use of the state property tax. 3. If this is done, the money to be rais3d will be apportioned to the several coun- | ties in proportion to the true cash value of the taxable property in that county. Special Assessments: These are in the form of com pulsory charges imposed by a government upon the owners of a selected group of properties. They are used to defray a part or all of the costs of a specific improve ment or service which is presum ed to be of special benefit to the owners of such properties. 1. These assessments come from street improvements, sewer in stallations, etc. 2. They are usual ly assessed directly to those per sons who directly receive the benefit. Federal "In-Lieu-Of-Tax" Payments: 1. Payments in lieu of tax money by several federal agen cies are apportioned to the states wherein they originated. These are earmarked for apportion ment to the county and taxing districts for payment on certain types of tax budgets. 2. Since the amount of money received varies, the amount of money need ed through apportionment to the property tax will vary also. Rock Creek Road Gets New Bridge ROCK CREEK — Ground work has started on a new bridge by the L. Holley and Clarence Reed places. The bad curve will be eliminated and the new bridge will go straight across the creek. Herb Counts went to Klamath Falls deer hunting and came home with a three-point buck. Mrs. J. Van Wert fell and broke her left wrist in two places last Wednesday. Katherine Keasey and her girl friend Charlotte from Portland were at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ted Keasey over the week end. Mrs. George Martan, daughter Janis and April and Frank Gunt her visited Mrs. Martan's twin sister, Mrd. Elsa Guthrie and family at Toledo, Oregon the past' week end.

I u«ed fewer sheila than the old gentleman and took home more birds - but not be cause I did better shooting. I’d borrowed a dog for the oc casion. Pops took along Rlue, hia ancient pointer. Several times I noticed Pops walk up to a clump of bushes Blue had pointed at and Are into the air «though he hadn't flushed a single bird. Naturally. I wanted to know hy. "Well," he said sheepishly, ve been hunting with that dog r 11 seasons. Hia nose isn't much help any more—but I'd rather waste a shell than let him know.” From where 1 sit. Tops always shows consideration for people, too. For instance, thia is a small thing, but he puts a bottle of beer on ice for me when I visit him — though he never takes anything but coffee himself. Even if he doesn't agTee with me on a mat ter of personal choice (which is his right) he'd rather not make a "point'' of letting me know. e CepingV. /Vx, l nord .Mere» The exciting '56 Plymouth is in our showrooms now for all to see and drive ... a car more representative of our jet air-age than any you have ever seen!
