Douglas Taylor, Commissioner, State Tax Commission PREPARED BY: Vernon B. Romney, Attorney General, G. Blaine Davis, Assistant Attorney General QUESTIONS: When individuals, companies or corporations, which are not actually engaged in any agricultural pursuits, own land which is leased to farmers for agricultural purposes, is that land eligible for participation under the Farmland Assessment (Green belt) Act? 2. Can lease payments to the lessor of such leased agricultural lands be used in determining whether land meets the minimum income requirements of $500 of the Farmland Assessment Act? 3. Should the provision required by Section U.C.A. 1953, when agricultural land is converted to a use, be applied when property is removed from the classified tax roll because the owner failed to file the required annual application, even though the land used remains the same and the property is still otherwise eligible for a farmland classification? 1. . roll-bac- WEDNESDAY.

(ACCN) Every public official should be required to make at least a reasonable disclosure of his financial holdings,' Assemblyman, Ken Cory (Dem.; Anaheim) told at a press conference held (tewsmen 14, to publicize his bill to that end. The bill would require public officials to file an annual statement describing the nature and extent of his investments which are subject to the regulation of any public agency of which he is an officer if such in- -, vestment is in excess of $10,000. . . at the time of the statement." Cory denied that the timing of the news conference had anything to do with the recent disclosure that California Gov. Ronald Reagan paid no state income tax for last year, or the fact that two legislators are currently under investigation for alleged misconduct in land transactions. It seems to me extremely appropriate that the people of California know what public officials have in the way of private holdings," said Cory. He said that his bill was designed to fill the void created in March of last year when the California Supreme Court ruled the previous Unruh Disclosure Act overly broad." In the case of City of Carmel by the Sea v. Bnrtram N. Young the court held that the statute was to all inclusive and restrictive of persons holding public office. Cory, who said that he owns some insurance stocks and an interest in a ski lodge, told newsmen that he has no inhibitions about telling voters o!. his personal holdings. He said that his bill would probably cause of ficials to choose to disclose everything" rather than just those items specified in the legislation. dinners Asked about and other campaign contributions, Cory said that the existing law is probably sufficient to deal with campaign financing, although he did $100-a-pla-te admit that campaign financial ARC0 Announces UTAH 1 480651 LEGAL NOTICES: r AIRLINE CRASH l TRAGEDY STRIKES HARD Operations Consolidation NEW YORK (ACCN) LAKE CITY, '), I'.1.

The Atlantic Richfield executive said that the marketing operations under consideration for sale included service stations and allied facilities in an area southward from Virginia and southwestward to and including the slate of Arizona.
