Frank Kelley said today that hard-pressed Northern Michigan communities and school districts must live with the state's Commercial Forest Reserves Act because it is constitutional. The act exempts extensive acreage in the Upper Peninsula from general property taxes assessed on the basis of estimated land worth. Kelley issued the opinion at the request of Rep. John D. Payant, R-Kingsford.

Marquette County School District officials, Kelley said, have complained of lost operating funds because of extensive forest exemptions. But the Legislature, in passing the 1925 Forest Reserves Act, did so constitutionally, Kelley said, because it is specifically authorized to "provide for alternative means of taxation" under Article 9, Section 3 of the 1963 state Constitution.

(AP) Three men were killed when a private plane crashed while trying to land at Saginaw County's Tri-City Airport Monday night. Authorities identified the victims as Merritt S.

Cooley, 58, of Davisburg, the pilot; Jack Davis, 33, of Holly, nnd Vernon Theyson, 49, of puluth, Minn. They were on a return flight from Sault Ste. Marie to Pontiac. Earlier in the day, the two Michigan men flew to Saginaw to pick up Theyson, who also was identified as an employe of the U.S. Department of Commerce.

The craft, a Cessna 182, was given the clearance to land on the northeast runway, but came in from the southwest, veered upward and then crashed in a grassy area between two landing strips. The plane's nose struck the ground and the craft flipped, throwing out the two passengers. The plane slid 359 feet, coming to rest on a runway. "It doesn't make sense that it was a pilot goof," said airport manager Robert Denison. "I'm not saying it's not impossible." Federal officials were called to investigate the crash.

The weather was hazy at the time of the accident. Cooley, who owns a water softening service, was a veteran pilot, with 60 hours of flying time, including numerous cross- country flights.
