Show Study of Utah Coals Made by Research Group J. L. Gibson of the University of Utah faculty, and member of the Utah Conservation and Research Foundation, a' group that has made a rather exhaustive study of low-temperature low-temperature carbonization of Utah coals, was in Logan this week, and preslited to the Cache county library a copy of the report made by this committee to the governor and the state legislature. Mr. Gibson is not a stranger in Logan. He was at one time a member of the B. Y. College faculty fac-ulty here and has a warm spot in his heart for Logan and many of its citizens. While here on official of-ficial business, he took time out to make a personal call on his old friend and former associate on the college faculty, Dr. Weston Vernon. The report submitted is a bound volume contains 872 pages together togeth-er with fly leaf and cover. Experts Ex-perts were engaged in making this study of the coal industry. This expense was met by an appropriation appropria-tion of $25,000 by the state legislature. legis-lature. A mere newspaper report of the accomplishments of the research re-search group could in no way do justice to the work accomplished by the committee. Persons interested inter-ested may see the report at the Cache county library. Quoting from the report: "We are hopeful that as the result of this effort, the value of coal research re-search to the state as a whole will be evident, thereby serving as an inducement to further investigate in-vestigate work concerning not only with the carbonization but also with the mining, preparation, distribution dis-tribution and combustion of Utah coals including the furtherance of a program of smoke eradication". |
