Henry Ford Sticks
To Original Offer

Washington, Nov. ia report
to congress embodying the conclu-
sions Of Secretaries Weeks and
Hoover on the proposal OF Henry
Ford for the purchase and lease OF
the nitrate plants and water power
projects at Muscle Shoals, Alabama,
may be made in few days, It was
announced tonight upon the ad-s
journment Of q conference between
Mr.. Ford and government officials.
Government officials participate
ing in the conference said they saw
no reason why the report could not
be made within q day or so, Secre-
tary Hoover, who presided at the
conference, however, declined to
comment on the subjects discussed,
as did Mr.. Ford and his engineers.
Secretary Hoover announced that
the conferences would be continued
tomorrow at the war department
provided Mr.. Weeks was able to at
tend. Mr.. Ford will remain ia
Washington until the war secretary
has recovered from temporary in-s
disposition.
Revised estimates made by army
engineers, it was said, place the
cost Of construction work on the.
Wilson dam at figures ranging from
100000 to s55,000,000, allow
ing certain amounts for improve
ments in navigation. Mr.. Ford,s
original offer allowed s2S,000,000
for the construction work necessary
to complete the dam and, it was
understood, he declined In the con-
ference todayct o alter that figure.
The difference between Mr..
Ford's estimations and those Of
army engineers was believed to be
the principal point on which an
agreement between him and the.
government hinges. The statement
that a report might be made toS
congress within a few days LED
some to believe that the conference
had reached a comprou ise on the
figures.
It was explained that the report
would not necessarily cantain rec
concentrations either f,r the ac-
ceptance of the Ford offer Or for it's
rejection, but would mer .ly present
the facts to congress for consider
alton and final action. II recon-
mendations are embodied in the re-
port, it was said, they would be
made personally by the secretary
of war and not by the commerce
secretary.
