54—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 26, 1975 On the Hill The Home in Harrisburg will soon be taking action on several bills recently released by the House Agriculture Committee. House Bill 217 has been designed to exempt the farmer from paying assessments for sewer or water lines that are installed in a right of way fronting his land, provided he does not use the services provided by the installation. There have been cases in the recent past where far mers have had to pay con siderable assessment fees - on a front footage basis - for sewer or water lines which were laid along their property lines as a means of extending services to nearby suburban developments. Since the farmers did not avail themselves to the municipal services, they felt the assessments were unfair and exorbitant. House Bill 217 will remedy that situation. Of course, in the event the land, or a portion of it is developed, the owner or Any way you figure it: SFEFRV=4=r\£W HOLLAND Spreaders and Grinder-Mixers are GREAT BUYS RIGHT NOW!

We have inserted an amendment which would give the municipality the right to place a lien against the property for an amount equal to that which would have been due and payable if the owner were liable for the payment. the lien would be interest free, and will not have priority over any judgement or mortgage placed against the land, and it cannot be executed unless the owner avails himself of the municipal services. If he uses the services he will be liable for the amount of land utilizing the services. Placing the lien of the land insures that the municipality will get paid for its in stallation services in the event the land is developed. The lien would be made known to a potential buyer when the tide is searched, and it can be removed only when the buyer pays the municipality for the ser vices. Roy A.

Wiley & Son, Inc. 101 S Lime St Quarryville 786-2895 The members of the Agriculture Committee, m well as many farmers whom I have talked with, agree that the bill is fair, and 1 expect it will receive bi partisan support when we vote on it. We are also amending a 38- year old act dealing with the licensing and regulation of farm produce dealers. As you know, there is a Federal law that regulates interstate sales of produce, and we are basically revising our law to protect those who sell their produce within the state, and many provisions in it are parallel to those contained in the Federal act. Shipments or purchases of farm produce having a gross value of more than $5OO would be covered by the new Soil Surveys Can Help Home Buyers How homebuyers can use soil surveys to avoid later regrets is explained in a new publication released by the USDA, Soil Conservation Service. State Conservationist Benny Martin said the new booklet explains how a soil survey can pinpoint areas subject to flooding, septic tank failure, seasonal wetness, and erosion hazards. By checking a homesite on a soil map, prospective homebuyers can find out what soil hazards, if any, they risk by buying the house, Martin added. The state conservationist said there are over 300 dif ferent soils in Pennsylvania, and many of them cause serious problems when used for house lots. These soils have different properties which must be considered in planning then use for homes, agriculture, and urban facilities.

Of course, agricultural cooperatives which market farm produce for their members only, or purchases covered by a written con tract would be exempt. Dealers will be required to pay $25.00 for their licenses, which will be renewed an nually. A license could be revoked if the dealer has rejected, dumped, or destroyed any shipment of farm produce without just cause, and could only be renewed by the dealer’s posting of a bond. Under the provisions of House Bill 612, the dealer would no longer have up to 48 hours to pay the producer; payment in full would have to be made upon acceptance of the farm produce, and the dealer will have to keep percent of the land in the state has been soil surveyed and the information is available at the local offices of the SCS.
