Notes of Decisions

As the state has valid interest in prohibiting illegal uses of prop­erty and proper safeguards exist, abate­ment pro­ceed­ings do not amount to an unconstitu­tional taking of prop­erty. State ex rel Haas v. Club Recrea­tion, 41 Or App 557, 599 P2d 1194 (1979), Sup Ct review denied
