They got a special committee of
the C.ofC. in Butte to oppose the
designation of the Mining City as
depressed area. 1t would be- simply
too, too degrading to be publicly
declared such, you see. 1t would be
so much better to take care of this
matter for themselves, old chap. But

What on earth does the steel mill
have to do with the ACM?
If the steel mill comes to the area
that operation will be provided with
cheap power from Bonneville by way
of special transmission lines. These
public power transmission lines. will
carry more power than the steel mill
can use. The extra power could be
bought by the Anaconda Company
and because it. would be so cheap
(often referred to as postage stamp"
rate) the ACM could go in for GER
tain reduction processes they can not
presently afford to do.
The cheap power would mean more
Jobs. 1t would mean new jobs in the
ACM operations as well as in the
steel mill operations. More jobs, more
power, more taxes. A bet

Because of the tax structure? !.
Aha! .,e. because of cheap power!
This Notwithstanding would be
considered mortal propaganda blow
~ the power company it seems.
