PAUL (AP) Declining farm values in Minnesota will mean a significant shift in property taxes from farms to businesses and non-farm homes in rural Minnesota this year and next year, a study shows. The study, released Friday by the Minnesota House Research Department, projects a statewide decrease of 7.3 percent in 1987 and of 9.8 percent in 1988 in taxes derived from farm homes. At the same time, property taxes on non-farm homes are projected to increase statewide by 5.1 percent in 1987 and 9.9 percent in 1988. The figures are net taxes payable after property tax credits are subtracted. Commercial property taxes are expected to increase statewide this year by 12.1 percent, 5.8 percent in 1988, and even more in agricultural areas.

While the Twin Cities area won't have a widespread shift in property tax burden from farms to other property, metro-area homeowners will see greater tax increases next year than outstate homeowners because many in the metro area already are at the $700 limit for homestead credits. Taxes on residential and commercial property in the metropolitan area also are increasing as their market values go up- 105 East 3rd Starring 7:30 9:30 Sal Sun James Coco John Allen Nelson ftUNlf uiw itUHfri MW iWv-tlt mm Ji ih il of a ilt dl iiml HOW then hill to fni4f Malnees 1:30 3:30 Oene Hackman ROCHESTER, Minn. (AP) -Demolition began Saturday on the historic mansion of the late Dr. Charles H. Mayo, co-founder of the Mayo Clinic, a city official said.

City Attorney Fred Suhler said demolition began even though the building's owner, Rex Savage of Rochester, did not obtain the demolition permit required by city code. Suhler said the city bad postponed action on a demolition permit for Savage because an environmental assessment had not been completed. The assessment is required under state law because the mansion is on the National Register of Historic Places, Suhler said. "Mr. Savage, for whatever rea son, decided he didn't want to deal with the law on this matter," Suhler said.

Suhler said violation of the city code is a misdemeanor. He said he would study the case further on Monday. Savage could not be reached for comment Saturday. His home telephone number is unlisted and a coworker at Satisfication Real Estate in Rochester said he was not in the office. Savage also did not return a reporter's telephone calls.

John Kruesel, who conducted an ill-fated auction of the 13-bedroom landmark, had said on Thursday that the mansion was to be torn down today. But on Friday, he said demolition had been postponed indefinitely, Charles H. Mayo and his brother, the late Dr. William J. Mayo, founded the clinic.

The three-story 1893 Mayo house, though magnificent in its heyday, has fallen on hard times since Charles Mayo moved out in about 1918 after living there 25 years. It has been a YWCA building, nurses' quarters and, most recently, a garishly decorated rooming bouse. It had been on the market for $225,000 for several years with no takers. Then, at an auction of the property last November, an unemployed Minneapolis painter entered the high bid of $158,000. 7:10 Barbara Hershey Nominated 9'30 "ennl" tor 2 iifyMMVina A John Hughes Production 7:20 9:20 Sal.

While Perpich stopped short of proposing to tax personal and business services, a growing number of DFL legislators say expanding the sales tax to services is an idea whose time has come because the economy has become so service-oriented. Rep.

Dee Long, who heads the tax laws subcommittee of the House Tax Committee, said DFLers are looking at "virtually everything possible." But the Minneapolis DFLer said she's partial to combining the rate cut and broadening the sales tax base. ST. PAUL (AP) Minnesota House DFLers, in an attempt to raise revenues to balance the budget, are discussing reducing the state's 6 percent sales tax to 5V2 percent or less and extending it to some items now exempt. One proposal would raise $314 million in the next two-year budget period by cutting the rate to 5 percent and extend the sales tax to drugs, club dues, admission tickets to sports events and performances, some personal and business services. Still exempt would be food and clothing.

House DFL leaders say their caucus is a long way from taking a position on a plan. But the concept of lowering the rate and expanding the base is likely to be one. option when a bill is drawn up. "I like the idea of lowering the rate," House majority leader Robert Vanasek of New Prague said Friday. As for broadening the base, it depends on what's included or excluded, he said.

One attraction of such an approach is that it would allow DFLers to say they cut taxes this year, he acknowledged. The Independent-Republican minority believes DFLers will raise taxes by at least $1 billion this year and is primed to use that for campaign ammunition next year to try to regain control. IR legislators won control of the House from 1984-86 after promising a $1 billion tax cut, which more and more DFLers now are blaming for their current fiscal problems. But some IR leaders have proposed cutting the retail sales tax rate and broadening the base, and might find it hard to oppose such a plan by the DFL. Gov.

Rudy Perpich has proposed extending the sales tax to controversial items, including purchases by churches and charitable institutions and state and local governments. DFL legislators have come under mounting pressure from constituents to drop that proposal. By substituting items such as services, they could continue the exemption for governments and nonprofit institutions. Broadening the tax base would stabilize revenue collections in addition to aiding revenue forecasting because the sales tax is less volatile than other taxes, the Department of Revenue said. Minnesota's 6 percent rate is tied for the third highest statewide rate in the nation, but it is one of the the most narrowly based in the country.
