Ford's Proposal
To Lease Power
Project Opposed
Head of National Conserya-
ton Association Declares
Offer on Muscle Shoals
Dam unfair"
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.


Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Washington, Aug. 2S.-Gifford
Pinchot, president OF the National
Conservation association, is opposed
to Henry Ford's proposal to lease
and purchase the government water
power project at Muscle Shoals,
Ala.
Mr.. Ford's terms are characterized
by Mr.. Pinchot in statement made
public here tonight as utterly unfair
to the public" To accept Mr.. Ford's
terms, Mr.. Pinchot says, would be
giving him public property OF enor-
nous value for consideration
wholly inadequate"
Furthermore, the conservation
leader declares the Ford proposition
is not clear in what it offers the
farmer III that it is seven parts wa
ter power to one part fertilizer"
Says Terms Violate Policy.
Mr.. Pinchot also says that Ford,
under the terms he has submitted.
would be getting water power far
greater than all that has been de-
veloped at Niagra Falls, many hum
drd thousand horsepower going to
him for nothing and out Of which he
would be making perpetual and gl-
gantic profits"
The Ford offer. Mr.. Pinchot in
sists, is in violation of the govern
ment conservation policy and the
water power law of the land, since
it provides for indefinite private pos
session and that it asks for huge
horsepower for no consideration
whatever.
Mr.. Pinchot says he does not think
The Ford offer should be summarily
rejected, but that it should be
changed, as follows:
First, to make it fit the Roose-
relt water power conservation policy,
now the law of the land:
Second. to make it pay for the
of the people something ap.-
,roaching what that property is real
y worth; WASH
Third, to make. what it offers to
armers clear beyond doubt"
First Part of Offer.
"The first part of the. Ford offer" |
ays Mr.. Pinchot, ''is to lease the
Wilson dam and drawn up for 100
ears with indefinite renewals, pro-
-ided the government will complete
hem and install machinery to pro-
uce $4,000 horse power. Mr.. Ford
ffers to pay per cent on the $28,-
10000, which he estimates would
e necessary to complete this work,
r 5 4-10 per cent on $48,000,000, Mr..
lords own estimate OF the whole
overnment investment in dams,
ocks and power houses.
please note that for the water
over itself Mr.. Ford would pay
othing, and that he would be free
rom all taxes on the property.
"The second part of the Ford Of
er is to buy nitrate plant No. /,
,hich cost the government in round
lumbers $l3,000,Q00; nitrate plant
10. 2. which cost the government.
, round numbers, $40 100000, and

ost to $85,000,000 and to pay S5,000,-
