IMMEDIATE WORK
ON NITRATE PLANTS, !.
GOVERNMENT PLAN

Washington, July 16.-Secr etary
Baker announced today that plants for
the production Of nitrate from atmos-
pheric nitrogen would be constructed
hmm ediately at q cost of about $4,000
900 and that water power would not
be used. Sites have not been selected.
Further discussion by localities de.
string to be considered as possible sites
Is closed temporarily. the announce
ment says, while the site committee OF
cabinet officers Is making further en-
gineering studies. ~
1t has been assumed ever since the
great nitrate project was proposed that
a vast supply of water power would be
needed. Consequently sites with wa
ter power have been supposed to be
the only ones likely to get considera-
ton. Muscle Shoals of the Tennessee
river was one of the places nosi
strongly urged during the debates in
congress.
Congress appropriated $zo,000,0OG
for the project Apparently the en-
tire expenditure contemplated by the
war department is one-fifth Of thai
sum.
