m PAGE 16-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, DECEMBERS 1972 FARM BUREAU SPEAKS OUT AT KISSELL HEARING WINDUP (Continued from page 1) produce as a farm crop, the value of the land is significantly less than if it were used for a development like Turnberry, a manufacturing plant, or a housing development such as Ladd Enterprises might put up. Additionally, asserted Klynstra, farmers often have no opportunity to sell their land for the high price simply because adjacent land went for a $2,000-$4,000 higher price per acre. At the close of the hearing last week, Department of Local Government Affairs officials said the job of the committee is to get the facts, to compile a report and to compile a synopsis with a summary and send it to Gov. Ogilvie. They will offer their suggestions on changes in policy and any need they see for changes in state laws. They hope to have this ready before Jan. 1 and said that citizens can obtain copies of their report. In Kooistra's report (which was praised by members of the audience following his presentation) he reviewed the property tax administration in McHenry county and said "inequalities produce a demand for qualified assessment officials and changes in the overall ad­ ministration of the property tax system. When I speak of qualified assessment officials, I mean officials of both the state and local level that have not only the technical knowledge and experience, but good judgment and common sense." He said the township assessor needs to be better trained and pass certain tests of his skills or the township assessor should be replaced with a qualified staff- appointed man as full time deputies to the Supervisor of Assessments. He also said the Illinois Department of Local Govern­ ment Affairs should compile and furnish each county and a local assessment official with assessment guides-and he indicated what those guides should include and said local assessing officials should be required to use the state assessment guides. One of his main points was that local assessment officials should be required to compile sales ratio data for farm, in­ dustrial, commercial and residential property, and the state should be required to compile sales data in the same manner. Kooistra and Klynstra both discussed how the sales ratio data can be used as a sound way to obtain an ac­ curate tax assessment value. Kooistra also said the Supervisor of Assessments and the Board of Review should be staffed by qualified people. He said Farm Bureau is opposed to classification of property for assessment purposes as presented in a previous statement by the Illinois Agricultural association. In conclusion Kooistra said: "Those of us in farming must have land to make a living. Property taxes must be paid, whether there is a crop or not. While the relative amount of land owned may have been a good indication of ability to pay taxes in the early and mid 1800's, it is both inequitable and burdensome in the 1970's." MUSIN" N' MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) thought in another time -- and whatever modern Scrooges think today - Christmas is a pretty special time.

It also has the power to enforce collection of payments due from owners for operating expenses, and may go to couft for this purpose if necessary. It may file damage suits or take other action on behalf of the association of owners. In cases of insolvency, the law provides that the interest of other owners is not affected by an owner's default on his mortgage or tax liabilities. ?
