Many Its Refund Checks Undelivered Some Utah taxpayers have undelivered refund checks waiting for them at the Internal Revenue Service. Taxpayers who have not yet received their refunds should call or visit their local IRS office as soon as possible, Roland V. Wise, District Director of Internal Revenue for Utah, said this week. The most common reason for an undelivered check is that the taxpayer has moved and left no forwarding address with the U.S. Postal Service. In cases where taxpayers suspect their checks may have been lost as soon as possible so that the IRS can put tracers on the missing checks. Some refunds may have been delayed because of errors or omissions on tax returns. Taxpayers affected should follow the instructions received from the IRS in order to speed up issuance of their checks. In all refund inquiries to the IRS, the taxpayer should be prepared to provide the name and address as it appeared on the return, the actual name and address if different, the social security numbers, and the type of form filed. - ed Moss Votes With Majority On Goal Leasing past, he said, is that some holders of federal leases have held them for years and never produced anything. Under this new bill, they would require to begin producing within 10 years or forfeit the lease. It is important to the state to have the holdes of leases producing so they can receive the royalties. Moss also said the bill would have broadened the purposes for which the states could use the royalty funds. Thus, he said. Utahs faced d communities boomtown problems brought about by enhanced energy needs could use the states share of funds for such needed services as police and fire protection and water and sewer facilities. Hw added that he hopes the House will follow the Senate's lead and also override the Presidents veto. Should the House fail to override, he said he has in readiness a substitute bill to provide increased royalties from federal coal leases in the western states. Senator Frank E. Moss this week voted with the majority in overrid- ing a Presidential veto of the Federal Coal Leasing Amendments, Moss said he was delighted with the outcome of the vote because the bill contains provisions for added income for Utah and other western states from federal coal leases that is absolutely necessary to meet the problems caused by rapid energy expansion in these areas. The benefits to western states from the federal leases will be considerable, he said. Utah, for example, has over three million tons of recoverable coal reserves under federal leases at the present time. Based on 1975 figures and existing law, Utah received from leases last year. Under this bill Utah will receive an additional $1,908,659. Moss said the bill also contains a provision that will require holders of federal leases to begin production within a 10 year period.

More of this nations forest lands must be if there are to be well-manag- . ed enough wood products around when todays children grow up. Industry sources estimate Americans will use about twice as much paper and wood in the year 2000 as they use today. And the U.S. Forest Service predicts that our nations commercial timberlands wont be able to keep up with the demand. But one solution to this potential wood fiber shortage may be to help private landowners increase their yield. They own about 60 percent of Americas forest lands yet produce only 30 percent of the wood fiber. In contrast, forest products companies own only 13 percent of the forest lands yet produce 34 percent of Americas fiber. To help close this productivity gap, International Paper Company is expand- International Paper will help landowners find a contractor to do the actual forestry work, or the company will do the job itself at cost. In return for all of these services, IP receives the right of first refusal to purchase the timber at competitive prices when it reaches har-vestab- le size.
