City approved The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Devel- opment has announced that the City of Shelton has been accepted into the National Hood Insurance Program. This means, said Acting Federal Insurance Admin- istrator J. Robert Hunter, that individual property owners here are now eligible to buy flood insurance protection at af- fordable federally-subsidized rates, offering more extensive coverage under the expanded program authorized by the 1973 Flood Disaster Protection Act. "Since flood insurance is now available," he added, "the law requires that it must be purchased by owners of property in areas identified as flood-prone by HUD, in order to be eligible for virtually all forms of federal or federally-related financial assistance for building purposes in those areas. "This would include FHA or VA mortgages, loans from the Small Business Administration, or loans from any federally- regulated or supervised banks and savings and loan in- stitutions. Harvesters of Christmas trees cut from non-cultivated land are subject to payment of excise taxes under the Forest Taxation Act, just as har- vesters of privately-owned commercial timber are. They also are required to keep records including the legal description of the land from which the trees were harvested, and lineal footage-of their harvest by species. The data is needed for audit use by the Department of Revenue. The tax on Christmas trees harvested from non-cultivated land in 1975 will be due in January, 1976. The taxable value of Douglas fir Christmas trees in western Washington is com- puted at 9 cents a lineal foot. This value times the excise tax rate of 6.5 percent gives the amount of tax due. For a hundred six-foot trees the tax would be $3.51. The tax valuation of true fir and other species in western Washington, such as Scotch and western white pine, is based on 26 cents a lineal foot.

The tax rate also is 6.5 percent. Christmas trees grown on cultivated land are assessed as property and taxed annually by the county in which they are located. The exemption is set forth in 84.33.170 RCW, which reads in part: "... Christmas trees which are grown on land which has been prepared by intensive cultivation and tilling, such as by plowing or turning over the soil, and on which all unwanted plant growth is controlled continuously for the exclusive purpose of raising such Christmas trees, and such land on which such Christmas trees stand, shall not be taxed (under the forest excise tax laws.)" An exemption from the state excise tax also applies to Christmas trees harvested from land classified under the 1932 Reforestation Act. They are taxed at the time of harvest by the county in which they are located. everyone in the family can enjoy the advantages of loans, savings programs and the financial security offered by the credit union.
