this week by the Department of
Revenue fonowing review of
testimony taken at two public
hearings in November.
-No changes were made in
the proposed land valuations.
They will average approximately
1 1 percent higher in Western
Washington over those in effect in
1975, and five percent higher in
Eastern Washington.
-Stumpage valuations were
lowered over those proposed in
November in order to adjust
variations between stumpage
value areas and harvest types in
Western Washington, and to
reflect differences in management
and logging costs between the
public and private timber sales
used by the department in
computing valuations.
The 1976 stumpage values
show a general decline ranging
from 16 percent to 39 percent for
the major species in Eastern and
Western Washington. The decrease
in stumpage values reflects two
factors: the weakening of
stumpage markets in the past
year, and the addition for the first
time of a significant number of
private timber sales in the data
base.
The values are based on an
Despite a decline in harvest
volume, the taxable value of trees
logged on privately-owned timber
lands in the first half of 1975
increased 13.6 percent, the State
Department of Revenue
announced this week.
Timber harvests totaling 1.77
billion board feet had a taxable
first-half value of $270.5 million
in 1975, while a taxable value of
$238.1 million was placed on
1.96 billion board feet harvested
in the same period of 1974.
Mason County had a harvest
of 30,015 million board feet with
a taxable value of $3,861,200 and
a tax assessed of $250,978.
A 25.6 percent increase in
average stumpage values, from
$121.62 pe[ thousand board feet
in t934. to.$152.7| in 1975
accounted for the net gain in
taxable value.
An increase in harvest tax
assessments of 117 percent from
$8.1 million to $17.6 million
primarily was caused by a change
in state excise rates. The first-half
1974 harvest was taxed at a rate
of 3.4 percent, the 1975 harvest
at 6.5 percent of taxable value.
Forest land and stumpage
valuations for 1976 were adopted

maps are ava,lable
Free maps of the Olympic
National Forest are going the way
of the penny postcard and the
good five-cent cigar.
Wynne Maule, Supervisor of
the Olympic National Forest, said
this week that as of January 1,
1976, forest maps will bear a
50-cent price tag. Rising costs are
blamed.
Under the present free map
system, the cost of maps comes
from the same funds used to
maintain campgrounds. This
"bleeds off" dollars critically
needed to keep campgrounds
properly maintained, Maule said.
