Opinion

HENRIOD, Justice:

Review of the Commission’s denial of an award. Affirmed.

Petitioner was injured while working at a motel in 1959. She was paid compensation by the State Insurance Fund for a temporary period. The last compensation was paid in the same year. In 1965, about six years later, she filed a claim with the Commission for the first time, which was long after the -three-year .limitations statute.¹ Counsel for applicant cited only Salt Lake City v. Industrial Commission ² as a basis for compensation and continuing jurisdiction of the Commission. That case was reversed by McKee v. Industrial Commission,³ for the reasons therein enumerated, followed by Jones v. Industrial Commission,⁴ and the recent case of United States Smelting v. Nielsen,⁵ all of which are controlling here.
