Edison Accompanies Flivver Maker
and Comments on Possibili-
ties of Place

Florence, Ala, Dec. 5.-A trip of
inspection that carried Henry Fora
and Thomas A. Edison to every part
of the governments incomplete Mus
Gle Shoals notrate and water power
project was completed today. This
resurvey Of the latent project on
which $105,000,000 had been spent,
was made at the suggestion of gov
ernment officials when a recent con-
ference at Washington for discussion
Of Mr.. Ford's proposal to lease the
property failed OF results. 1t was
agreed at that time that Mr.. Edison
should participate in the inspection.
With a sparkle in his eye. Mr.. Edi-
son, at the wind up of his tour of the
nitrate plants, declared: 81 can't tell
you just what the possibilities are,
they are so great"
The East Orange inventor had pre-
viously stated informally that Mr..
Ford's proposal was sound in every
respect and that "the government will
accept it if it is wise'
He said nobody else would offer as
much, and he considered it fair in all
respects"
Just what Mr.. Ford proposes to re-
port to Secretary Weeks had not been
determined, he said.
Mr.. Ford set at rest speculation
whether he would see an outlet to
deep water" if he should get Mus
Gle Shoals by declaring he had no in
tention of building railroad to Mo-
bile,' or any other port.
Hopes Of Tennesseeans that Muscle
Shoals power might, in the event of
Mr.. Ford's acquisition of the property,
be supplied them, were dispelled
when he declared his opposition to
long distance" transmission.
The Nashville delegation also was
disappointed when he said he was not
in favor Of steam plants for providing
power to generate electrical energy.
Mr.. Ford will inspect the "Old
Hickory" powder plant near Nash
Vile today and it was hoped he might
be interested In making the govern
ment an offer for this latent war pro-
iect.
The "Old Hickory steam plant is
said by army engineers to be one OF
the finest established by the govern
ment during the war.
