Kaufman is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Morris Kaufman Metuchen, N.J “Many people believe the oil shale industrywill never get off the ground because of the tremendous expenses," he said. “I don’t knowif it will but and Wyomingalso get a share the oil companies are certainly — something close to2 trillion serious in considering the possibility. They are paying gallons. By law all this water is half a billion dollars to lease land tracts,” he added designated for beneficial uses.

Potential Oil Output Colorado River Basin states “T will look at severallevels and it will take water to turn of dvelopment, from what it the shale into usable energy is now to whatit could be at any stage along the way," he said “A fully developed industry would produce at least one million barrels of oil a day. Whether it ever happens depends on oil embargos and oil prices. The fully developed industry would need from 50 to 70 billion gallons of water per year. This does not include water for the additional population or for required land reclamation. Mr. Kaufman has spentfive years with the government on energy - related work. Most recently he was working on the Federal Energy Administration’s Project Independence. He wasinvolved with a study of water requirements for energy production. grandfather, Fred Pace. Along with the 12 vehicles, FAMOUS PAINTINGS depicting four U.S. Revolutionary events have been used for four Bicentennial souvenir stamp sheets, shownin the photos above and below. The stampsheets will be issued for the first time on May 29 at the opening of the seventh U.S. International Philatelic Exhibition in Philadelphia. Water Legal Problems “The legal problems of obtaining waterare incredible. The Colorado is porbably the most regulated river in the country. In addition to allotments for the upper and lower basin states, Mexico is entitled to a large portion of the river. And there are doctrines giving the Indian reservations prior claim on all the water they need forirrigation. Under existing laws, energy producers can’t even file for any water because it’s all spoken for,” he said. As of yet there isn't a solution. Mr. Kaufman favors a free market on the water. “In the West, water can be bought andsold like property. I would like to see a program where the oil producers buy as much water as they can. This way, they get the water they need and theseller gets a price which compensates him,” he explained. “Who knows what will happen? I hope my research can point out someof the many possibilities. Perhaps with this knowledge, better decisions can be made that will benefit all of us," he concluded.

David B. Liggett said the confusion on the correct rate for a two - ounce letter is caused because people assume both ounces cost 13 cents each. He explained that the rate is 13 cents forthe first ounce but only 11 cents for each additional ounce. Instead of putting 26 cents on the letter, as manydo, he noted that 24 cents would do the job just as well Another problem costing postal patrons more money than is necessaryis the failure MAPLETON 385 No. Main St. Phone 489-56 Mr. Liggett said shortpaid overseas mail is always returned for additional postage “This causes unneeded delay and extra handling, which is a real cost to the customer because of time wasted by the post office in having to return theletter,” te added. |
