UTAH CALL discrim- inate against one class of property simply because it is assessed by the state rather than by the county- According to Foundation analysts, it is expected tat property taxes paid by residential property owners will rise about 1.1 percent this year even if there is no overall increase in property tax receipts in 1991. Property tax increases for d businesses and other will owners be property somewhat more. This increase, which is based on an overall statewide average, is likely to he considerably more in communities having a high proportion of property. In addition, it will be higher in those communities that decide to raise more revenue from the property tax this year. A major factor for the slower growth in property taxes during recent years was enactment of the "truth in taxation" legislation in 1985 which made it more difficult for local officials to raise property taxes in Utah. Among other things, the "truth in taxation" laws require that taxpayers must be informed of a public hearing whenever local CLASS OF 1971 J North Sanpete 20th The study notes that the average property tax on a $75,000 home in Utah rose by 32 percent from $552 in 1981 to $731 in 1990. Most of this increase occurred during the early years of the decade. Since 1985, the average tax increase has amounted to only about four percent The report points out that compromise legislation enacted by the 1991 Utah Legislature will shift some of the property tax burden from propd erty owners to property owners.

The 127.5 percent payment rate brings the average priced received by all producers up to the support price. "This rate was applied to the net proceeds received by each producer for shorn wool marketed during the marketing year," Anderson explained. To maintain normal pulled wool marketing practices, ASCS supported unshorn lambs at a level comparable to the shorn wool support rate. Producers received $4.08 per hundredweight in price support payments for unshorn lambs sold during the 1990 marketing year. Nationally, ASCS disbursed about $105 million in wool payments. governments plan to raise proper-ty tax revenues.

I had wondered why all the birds scattered. One was not so lucky. Also, another visitor to our backyard was the Western Flycatcher, a bird with an unusual flight pattern similar to the bat. It is about 5.5 inches tall, with upper parts of brownish-oliv- e and under parts buff-oliand yellow. The bird has broad distinctive while eye rings. These birds arc found around waterways where there arc an abundance of insects. They can be beneficial to farmers because they cat a number of insects that prey on gardens and orchards. In the winter when insects are scarce, the Flycatcher cats cedar tree berries. for 896-640- favorite pastimes. Birds arc the most visible form of wildlife and easily lured into backyards. Birds are spectacular, colorful and useful, eating many harmful insects. In the past month I have seen two that were above the familiar chickadee, sparrow and finch. One day while tending to some outdoor chores, I noticed jout of the corner of my eye, a robin-size- d bird, light gray, with a black mask, wings and tail. It had a white throat, rump and outer tail feathers and a hooked bill much like a hawk. After referring to my "Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Birds," I found the bird was a Northern Shrike. Its diet consists of large insects, grasshoppers, beetles, etc., small frogs and reptiles, and frequently, small birds and WRECKING WE SELL QUALITY USED Gayla Berlin county.
