O'NEAL GOING TO WASHINGTON ON
 NITRATE PROJECT
Muscle Shoals Advocates Hope to Get Action by Which Power Can Be Developed in Near
 Future

Emmet ONeal, former governor, will leave Sunday for Washington, where he will endeavor to convince the interde- partmental board, consisting of Secreta- ries Baker, Lane and Houston, that the government should locate the proposed nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals.
 Fn route the governor will be joined by c. H. Houston, prominent citizen of Nashville, who, in the consultations, will speak for the people of Tennessee.
 Although Secretary Baker has insisted that discussion of sites be postponed un- til after experimentation in temporary plants is completed, it is known that a strong effort is at present under way to the end that the interdepartmental board might authorize the construction of the permanent plant at once.
 The three secretaries have publicly stated that they intend to develop Muscle Shoals If they cannot be per- suaded to proceed at once under exist ing law, it is understood that effort to enact new legisla ton will be undertaken. The contemplated legislation would either name the site for the proposed plant or would authorize cooperation in the development between the govern ment and private capital.
 Governor O'Neal hopes to ascertain the exact status of the Muscle Shoals move ment His report will be followed, it is understood, by concerted and deter mined action on the part of citizens of north Alabama and central Tennessee.

BUNN ID SPEAK AT REALTOR LUNCHEON Head of Traffic Bureau to Tell of Industrial Bir-
 mingham

Robert P. McDavid, Jr.. secretary of the Real Estate exchange, says that "know myself" is an ancient and time . honored axiom but little of it prac ticed in Birmingham.
 "Birminghams oldest inhabitants, ,'' stated MT. McDavid, were recently surprised by the announcement that Birmingham had more industries than Chattanooga. Atlanta, Memphis or any other of her southern rivals. This an : nouncement was a severe jolt to the chronic knocker who has heretofore taken pleasure in proclaiming that Birmingham has nothing but the Steel corporation to draw from. The com : mon complaint has been Why don | we go out and get small industries like Chattanooga has done?'
 Tt simply takes a man like MT. Bum. who heads the traffic bureau to knock this kind of conversation cold. The knocker will find small solace in the figures made public re- gently by MT Bum, when he took an industrial survey of Birmingham"
 MT Bum will be the principal speaker at the luncheon of Birming ham Realtors today at the Hillman at o'clock and he will tell the mem bers of the exchange all of the de- tails about industrial Birmingham.

 miner, and the national president of

 to Construct Permanent Roads

that will take care of merchandise too heavy for the trucks. rapid transit line may also be constructed at a later date, but the association will not be con- nected as a body with that scheme. An injunction is now before the Alabama public service commission requesting that the district rate for Birmingham be ex- tended to the Warrior, so that the exist ing railroad lines can carry produce from Maxine, Cordova and other river points to Birmingham at cost that would allow them to compete with the all-rail route.
 It is announced that campaign will be launched by the association to fos- ter interest in the project with the idea or ultimately issuing bonds for the i'm provement of the road, so that Birming- ham will at last actually be on the War rior. Dr. R. F. Lovelady, a member oi the board, suggested yesterday that such an issue be made, and that in the fu- ture permanent roads be constructed.

A committee from the Civic associa- tion appeared before the board of reve- nue yesterday asking that the road to Taylor's Ferry that is now under con struction be made of concrete and be de- signed to carry very heavy traffic. The committee consisted of c. L. Harold, Senator Frank s. White and Commis- sioner James Weatherly.
 The board was asked to extend the limits of the road to the junction of the Warrior and Valley creek, where there is said to be an ideal location for the construction of docks and terminal facil- ities for a boat line. The construction of the concrete road will cost about twice as much as the road that has been planned, 1t is said, but the association members believe that the interest on the extra money used will be much less than the annual maintenance cost of the road that is being considered.
 The Civic association also hopes for the construction of an electric line later
