DAM COMPLETION
 IS DECIDED ON BY
 HOUSE COMMITTEE
Two Representatives of Ford Will Be Called Before Com mittee in Closed SeS-
 sion Today
By Associated Press

Washington, April 2s.--An infor- nal agreement that the Wilson dam at Muscle, Shoals should be com pleted, was understood to h--ve been made today by members of the House military committee, at an ex- ecutive session, called to continue consideration of the private pro- posals for Muscle Shoals development with view of drafting report to the House.
 A decision to have w B. Mayo and J. w. Worthington, representatives, of Henry Ford in the negotiations for Muscle Shoals, appear before the committee in closed sessions to- morrow, also was said to have been arrived at today.
 It was reported unofficial.y that Messrs. Mayo and Worthington had requested an opportunity to reappear before the House committee before they began their statement next Mon day before the Senate agricultural committee on the Ford offer.
 Their statements tomorrow vii. be given to the military committee be- hind closed doors. The two speakers for MT. Ford, it was indicated, were expected to announce a willingness on hlS part 10 make 1urtner moQlIl- cations in the contract proposals for purchase and lease of the Muscle Shoals properties.
 Regarding the completion of the Wilson dam, 1t was said the commit te, agreed that the work should be done either by or under the super vision of the war department. In the event it was found more advantage ous for private enterprise to under take the work, it was specified that the army engineers should give it the closest attention cnd approval before the government accepted the project as built by private capital.
 + was pointed out during the arr gument between the committeeman that the government already had in- vested $17,000,000 in the Wilson dam and logical reasoning called for it's completion by the government In that manner it was said possibilities of future controversies between the government and private interests would be eliminated, litigation made impossible and repetition of any situation similar to that existing be- tween the Alabama Power company and the war department over the Gorgas steam plant would be pre- vented.

Improvement of the city health de- partment costing s17.620.7s, remodel ing offices of the legal department at $1.S7S.6s, and luxuriating the city commissions private lavatory at S1.- S56.74, making the combined total of s26,452.2S for the three items charged against the department headed by Commissioner William L. Harrison, drew caustic criticism from the com missioner yesterday and directed to D. D. McLendon, president of the city commission, being the second such reply received since President Me- Lendon's now famous uitimatum was directed to his associates last Fri day.
 In his reply, Commissioner Har- rison states that by making the proper charges for the improvements iR the city hall his department would be found to have not exceeded it's appropriation. but operated within it at good margin.
 Commissioner Harrison states that he has. not attempted to avoid any responsibility and that it was his belief that a commissioner should do the best possible and that by not be- ing able to operate within his budget appropriations would not necessarily call for impeachment
 Harrison's Reply
 Harrison's letter to the commits sion president is as follows:
 Replying to yours of the 2eth inst, in which you say that my de- partment has exceeded it's budget to the extent of S1s.s7s.31. desire to call you attention to the following facts:

quarters, which cannot be said to come within the purview of manage ment and maintenance of puhlic buildings, has cost the city SIT T.620.7S. which has been charged to my de- partment
 Tn addition new headquarters were built for the legal department at a cost of $1.s7s.ss. and private lavatory was constructed and built at cost of S1,S56.74.
 Not Properly CharseabIe
 No part of these three items can be properly chargeable 10 the depart ment of public safety propeINNN ment of public property and public utilities, over which I have been placed in supervision. In other words. the aggregate cost of these three items, viz; s21.45 has been charged to the department over which I have supervision. when un- der the clear provisions of the law describing the duties and the author ity of the several commissioners. the department of which I am the head has Supervision over the manage ment and maintenance of all public buildings. etc. and the department of public Improvements, under the law. has special supervision of all public mprovements-and the erec- tion Of all public buildings
 Properly charging these items brings my department within it's budget.
 By citing the facts and the law, as 1 have done, I want it distinctly understood that I am making no effort to avoid any responsibility and whether a commissioner exceeds his budget, in my opinion, would not ordinarily call for impeachment Commissioners must do the best they can under all circumstances, but I respectfully call your attention to the fact that have not exceeded my budget as has been reported in the newspapers and as stated in your communication"
