Show Large numbers of buffalo, moose, coyote, deer, elk, antelope, ante-lope, sheep, and both grizzly and black bears are found in their native environment in Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone National Park was set apart not only to preserve pre-serve its geysers (which number num-ber more than 200), ts thermal ther-mal features and wildlife; but, to protect the entire area for the benefit of all people from all lands. Moose are commonly found in the shallow lake areas throughout Yellowstone National Na-tional Park. Bus, truck tax due August 31 Roland V. Wise, District Director Di-rector of the Salt Lake City District Internal Revenue Service today reminded owners of trucks and buses that the Federal highway use tax is due on August 31. Revenues collected go into a highway trust fund, created by Congress, to help finance the Government's interstate highway building program. In addition to the Federal highway use tax which affects truck and bus owners, revenues reve-nues from taxes on motor fuels, fu-els, tires, inner tubes, retread rubber and other items are being be-ing funneled into the highway fund. Highway use taxes on trucks and buses range from $81 to $180 annually for each vehicle subject to the tax. All trucks operating on a public highway are subject to this tax if they meet certain unloaded weight and axle specifications and are registered by state law. The elevation of Yellowstone Yellow-stone National Park is from 5,000 feet, near the Yellowstone Yellow-stone River north entrance, to 11,360 feet, the summit of Eagle Peak in the southeast corner of the park. |
