SaltLako Opposition to house bill wlilch would placo smelters under tho control of tho public utilities commission of Utah, lias taken tho form of a petition presented to tho stato senate, signed by mining companies of tho state. Tho petition reads: "Tho undersigned, producers of metalliferous ores in tho stato of Utah and customers of tho 'smelting plants within the state, respectfully request nnd urge that tho said smelting plants bo not included within tho jurisdiction juris-diction of ' tho public utilities commisbion as proposed in houso bill No. 28, by Greenwood. Wo bollovo it Is impracticable to placo smelting operations within tho Jurisdiction of the public futilities commission, as Uic ores of this stato vary so greatly in character and cost of smelting that it is Impossible to standardise standar-dise and regulato charges. As tho oro producers bear all costs -of oro treatment , tho proposed legislation would entail additional addi-tional expense to us as producers pro-ducers without giving us any corresponding benefits whnt- "over."
