ers Association members held

The local farmers urged adop
tion of several pieces of farm

phasis was placed on passage of

than its speculative value for
potential development.

senators Richard Snyder and
Clarence Manbeck and represen
tatives Sherman Hill, Harry
Gnng, Marvin Miller, Harold A.
Horn and Jack Horner.

ing were Mr. and Mrs James

Legislators
Perm Hams Motor Inn at 6 30
p m Monday Eailier in the day
by the annual banquet at the
the local people talked with the
i°presentatives at the Capitol
The land assessment law the
PF A is urging includes provision
for a three year roll-back on
taxes when the land is turned to
uses other than agricultural or
horticultural, besides making the
bill more palatable to urban
people, some members indicated
that collecting back taxes when
land is turned to development is
fair
Some provisions include that
the amount of land involved be
a minimum of five acres devoted
to agriculture or horticulture for
at least two years before applica
tion and that application for tax
ation under the new law must be
made every year by the owner
at no fee The land must gross
at least $5OO per year from agri
cultural or horticultural sales
and that a state committee shall
lecommend land assessment
values based on capability of the
land as determined by soil sur
vey', use such as crop land and
wool land, and capitalization of
net farm income for each coun
ty.
The proposal would be similar
to what is known as the New
Jersey plan and the state assess
ment law would be ammended to
allow the assessment formula to
include the earning power of
property as a basis for assess
ment, along with assessment
based on maiket value
Other PFA positions announc
ed on legislative proposals in
clude;
—Opposition to an ammend
ment to the Pennsylvania Con
stitution to reduce the size of
the House to 121 members and
the Senate to 41.
—On a bill to regulate snow
mobiles, the PFA is seeking an
amendment that would require
permission of landowneis before

excess of 30 per cent of gross

boards to establish cithei four
quaiteis 01 thiee trimesters of

—PFA supports punciple of
bill permitting certain counties
