FORD AND EDISON
INSPECT SHOALS
Declares He Is Determined to
Acquire and Develop
Big Project.
BY the Associated Press.

FLORENCE. Ala, December B
Henry Ford. Detroit automobile man
ufacturer, and Thomas A. Edison, the
electrical Wizard, late today inspected
the skeleton Of the great Wilson dam,
which constitutes the nucleus around
which Ford proposes to build an in
dustrial empire in, the south.
On arrival here Mr.. Ford and Mr..
Edlson proceeded to Wilson dam.
driving through the streets of Flor
ence. where they were cheered. En-
route to Florence Mr.. Ford, in talk
ing to newspaper men who were on
his special train. emphasized the fact
that he had not in any way changed
his original bid for the Muscle Shoals
project and that his visit was mainly
to allow Mr.. Edison to visualize the
project in it's entirety and to verify
the original figures submitted by
Fords engineers.
Cost Main Difference.
The main point of difference be-
tween him and the government, Mr..
Ford said. lay in the cost Of compile
tion of Wilson dam. The estimates
of the Army engineers range from
$4,000. 900 to $55,OOO.00O and Mr.. Ford
$20.000,0O0 is ample for the work. The
automobile manufacturer declared
that his sole interest in Muscle Shoals
was not commercial.
we want Muscle Shoals he said
because we want job-and we
want to help provide cheap fertilizer
for the farmers of the nation
When asked what he knew about
nitrates Mr.. Ford said: II don't know
a thing about nitrates-Mr. Edison is
here to take care of that. We might
make aluminium, we might make
cloth, we might make steel or we
might make automobile parts-we
won't need nearly all the power we
will have to make nitrates"
1t was suggested to Mr.. Ford that
he was the first Of the big northern
capitalists to talk of coming south
The manufacturer leaned forward and
said: i know no lines. 1 have never
known any. The only fault find with
the people of the south is that they
are too darned hospitable.
Il s<m down here at the request OF
Secretary Weeks" Mr.. Ford added. "a
am figuring for the government, and
I know that if this dam is completed
it will confer a great benefit on the
whole south. We want to build the
dam. We know that we can do II
cheaper than the government could
and the government knows it. too
We can get all the labor we need or
the spot. 1t may be necessary to bring
in skilled labor as our industries are
developed and our plans take shape
Il will make the only report made
on the inspection of Mr.. Edison and
myself to the government" he con-
tinued.
