Weld County presses Ford to sign taxes bill for federal lands
Weld County Commissioners urged President Ford to sign a bill providing payments in lieu of taxes on federal land in the county. The measure, advancing through the Senate, would yield about 99,000 to 100,000 dollars annually to Weld County, covering the Pawnee National Grassland area. County officials wondered about continuing rental fees totaling around 36,000 dollars directed to local school districts.
