This point was made bv Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization, in a study released this week. Under a classified property tax, certain tv pes of property (such as business property) are assessed and taxed at higher rates than are other property classes (such as residential property). The Foundation observes that this practice often has considerable political appeal, because of the large number of homeowners in relation to the number of owners of business. Although most states have a de facto classified property tax resulting from assessment inequities, only ten states, the District of Columbia, plus several counties in Illinois have formal provisions for property assessment classification. Minnesota has the nation's oldest and most elaborate system of property classification, consisting of numerous classes and subclasses with assessment ratios ranging from 5 to 50 of market value. Proponents of classification argue that the cost of homeownership can be reduced by shifting part of the cost to others through a classified property tax. They argue tha- t1. Home ownership is a social objective that should be encouraged. 2. For the most part, residences are not income producing properties. 3. Business usually is better able to pay the property tax than is the private residents. 4. In some cases, taxes paid by business residents may be passed on to 5. Since many states already practice de facto classification, constitutional classifications merely legalizes what has been the actual practice. Opponents of classification, on the other hand, argue that the practice has owner-occupie- d And County Fair Combine Chief Kanosh (Scott Tarbet) marrys his Christensen), Betsykin (Suzanne Pioneer Supper Tax Article Amendment Would Lead To Property Tax Classification long-rang- e Grounds (rounds 0 p.m. Open class pik up premium money at the Courthouse Must present claim check 10:30 a.m. Demonstration ol home curing ot meat.

They point out that discriminary business taxes inevitabli reduce the communitys ability to raisi the productivity of its economy. This results in a loss of jobs and a lower tax base to support governmental services. The long-rueftev of classification, therefore, could be higher, rather than lower taxes.

Utah Power & Light is a 25 plant under participant in the construction near Delta, Utah. The study was originally made by the Project Manager, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and was presented at an IPP Coordinating Committee meeting in The study was requested by the board when new cost estimates increased the construction cost of the project from $5.4 billion to $6 5 billion. Increased interest rates would raise the total cost from $8.7 billion to over $11 billion. According to Reece Nielsen, Board Chairman, the review will be distributed to the participants and the FYoject Manager. Because of Utah Power & Light's recent downgrading by Standard and Poor's, consideration of reduction of the size of the project is simply an example of good business practice and of the flexibility in the design of the project," he said. coal-fire- d mid-Jun- Recently Utah Power & Light's commitment to IPP created a financial condition that resulted in a reduction of their rating by Standard and Poor's from A plus to A. Further downrating," Chairman Nielsen said, "could result in damage to the Project's rating, which in turn affects the interest rates on the IPP bonds and the cost of the project to the participants." The Project is being financed by issuing municipal bonds. Four series totaling $1.5 billion were issued in 1981 with an average cost of funds of 13.21. The first bond issue carried an interest rate of about 11.75 which climbed to 14 by the fourth issue. TTte bonds are nevertheless outperforming those of similar agencies in secondary markets, according to Chairman Nielsen. Utah Power & Light has been pursuing the possibility of laying off (selling) some of their participation in the project. A reduction of two units would change their power allotment to 375 megaw atts. "The Project was originally designed m 1974 to reflect that growth anticipated for the eighties," Chairman Nielsen said That growth has not yet materialized and at the same time interest rates have gone up The Utah participants exiept for Utah Power & light are protected by excess power sales agreements, but jeopardizing our bond rating could drive costs of the project up too high. The Excess Power Sales Agreement entitles Utah partiiipants to sell all or part of their power allocation that thev do not need to some of the California participants. "I understand that the Utah Power & Light review of the two unit study considers several alternatives that still keep that cos: of power within reasonable limits " He also said that even though some of the common facilities have been cor.struitcd the plant is designed in sets and sir be reduced without too much loss "The reduction docs not preclude using the sue and the water for units 3 & 4 some future two-uni- t time The project manager the participants and their representatives on the IPP Cuordma ting (ommirtec will study the LP&L review before the next board meeting scheduled for August 24. 1982 Horse Races At The Millard County Fair August 14th will mark the first trv at horse racing at the Millard County Fair in Fillmore.
