ORD PLANT IS
MADE POSSIBLE
BY PRESIDENT
: fp- sl
Wilson Signs Water Power Bill
Just in Time
HAD TEN DAYS LEEWAY
Palmer Ruled That President Could
Sign a Bill Within Ten Days
After Adjournment.
HAD TEN DAYS LEEWAY

Washington, June 1S.-The water
power bill, which will make possible
the development by Henry Ford of a
great motor tractor plant at Green
Island, N. Y, has finally become law,
after campaign Of ten years.
Announcement that President Will
son had signed the measure prior to
June IL was made late today at the
White House.
The measure was passed in the clos
ling days of the last session of Con-
gress, and the President affixed his
signature to it under a ruling by Atty
General Palmer that he had until ten
days after the adjournment of Con-
gress TO act.
The bill provides for the creation of
a commission to permit the leasing Of
federal water power sites for the de-
lvelopment of electricity.
Mr.. Ford has acquired a great tract
OF land at Green Island. and proposes
to obtain power from the federal dam
at Troy to run huge plant that will
employ 5000 men at the start, in the
manufacture of tractors.
1t is expected opponents of the meas
ure may wage fight against it in the
courts on the contention the Consti
tuition provides that measure not
signed before the adjournment of Con-
gress is automatically vetoed.
Word on the signing of the water
power bill was accompanied by an
nouncement that he had failed to sign
the joint resolution repeating most of
the war time laws, and the Underwood
resolution providing for negotiations
with Canada relative to the embargo
on the shipment of wood pulp to the
United States.

The following dealers charged six cents: Felton, Second and Louisiana streets, Snodgrass X Bracy, Hegarty, Bob White and the Holman Drug Company.
 No retailers should charge more than seven cents glass, including

the war tax, for coca cola, accord ing to a letter which is being sent out by the coca cola company to all it's salesmen. The letter, of which a copy was brought to the Gazette office yesterday by coca cola representative, says that coca cola is mixed one ounce to the drink and that gallon contains 128 ounces. Figuring one hunderd drinks the retailer gets $6 and $1 war tax on each gallon. This gal lon now costs him $2, it is said, and the difference is $4 to take care of expenses and profits, or 200 per cent on each gallon.
 The letter from the coca cola company urges it's salesmen to dis courage any attempt of local deal CTS to charge too much for it's pro- ducts. The coca cola representa-. tive said that his product has ad- vanced only 25 per cent, whereas he had heard that some dealers planned advancing their price to about 50 per cent.
