ated and made valid throuc1~lt the 100 year lease, irrespective of the life of MT. Ford it seems that ordinary business judgment indicates that the American people should have the ben eft of the Ford offer. We feel that we must accept Mir. Ford's agreement to sell fertilizer at a profit of eight per cent as an earnet of the gem oral policy that he may be expected to adopt at Muscle Shoals
 The Muscle Shoals project dAvel- oped under the Ford offer will con- tribute to the advancement of Ameri- can industry by Introducing a plan of waterpower development which pro- vides the means whereby hydroelec- tric power ultimately may be had in the United States as cheaply as in the more naturally favored countries such as Canada and Norway.
 Interest Is 80 Per Cent of Cost.
 Since hydroelectric plant costs a great deal to cohstruct and but little to operate, there is feature of hy droelectric power well known to those in the business that the general public does not appreciate. When the items which go to make up the cost of hydroelectric power at the switch board of the generating station are examined, it is found that under the of construction and flnanc- ing existing in the United states1 the single item of interest on the invest ment constitutes so per cent or more of the cost of the power
 "Mr. Ford proposes to eliminate the interest by amortizing and returning the investment, through the opera ton of long time sinking fund. He therefore provides a series Of pay
New Britain herald., 1922-08-04

ments Which, when invested in a sink ing fund at as low a rate of interest
 as 4A per cent witl return the entire cost of both dams, including the s17,- 100000 already expended by the gov ernment. This eliminates the capital charges and interest and ultimately reduces the cost of power to the mere cost of operation and maintenance. which in large plant is from S1.00 to $500 per horsepower per year, or less than one-half of one mill per kilowatt hour. Under this plan the bonded in- debtedness on a waterpower develop n1ent is reduced instead of being in- creased as is the customary proceed ure in refnancing operations.
 We cannot withhold our support from a proposal which embraces a plan that may furnish an example of of hydroelectric power to the consum- CT may be taken from his power bill"
 100 Year Lease.
 The senators also declared their 1 willingness to agree with Mir Ford's request that the lease on the power projects be for 100 years rather than | for 50 years as prescribed by the fed eral water power act. They asserted | that the operations proposed by Mir. | Ford are on a scale without parallel l and call for an expenditure by him of | s5o.ooo.60o.
 'In view of the fact that Mir. Ford | must compete in the manufacture of electric furnace products, the report said, with such concerns as the Aluminium company of America, whose rights because of location of their plants on -navigable streame are not limited to 100 years. but are perpetual; and in view of the fact that there already exists in the coun- try three large plants. none of which have rights for less than 99 years, :. it seems reasonable that, with the responsibilities undertaken by MT. Ford, it is only fair to allow him a lease period of 100 years.
 Tn deciding for ourselves that rather than have the Ford object re- jected we will agree to the 1oo-year lease period we have come to this conclusion mainly because we believe government and the public will lose more in fifty years of government ownership and operation at Muscle Shoals than they will gain by refus- ing to consent to the 1oo-year lease period in Henry Ford's offer"
 Gorgas Steam Plant Also.
 The repore concluded with an ex-

MT. Ford agreeing to sell fertilizer at no more than eight per cent profit"
 Compared to Niagara Falls.
 'Mr. Ford's offer will result in a development whose national value can only be compared with the accom- plishment at Niagara Falls" the re- port continued. The applications of electro chemistry and electro metal lurgy have made the Niagara Falls full, and in the same way it will take the skill of the chemist and the met allurgist, together with that of the hydro electric engineer with ample capital to develop the full possibili ties at Muscle Shoals, where, due to the fuctuating flow of the stream, the problems are greater than those en- countered at Niagara Falls.
 Asking the Impossible.
 ITO compel MT Ford to state just what the operations at Muscle Slr-uls will be and just what they will pro- duce, is either to limit the possibilities of the project and cripple it's future l'ScLulAcoS ol Slsc lL 10 io dsh MI T oIu to do the impossible No one' could have foretold the Niagara develop ments thirty years ago

pression of opinion on the question of including the steam power plant at Gorgas in the Muscle Shoals proper ties to be disposed of, as requested by Mir. Ford, or of permitting the Ala bama Power Company to purchase the governments interest in that unit, in accordance with the contract executed by the company with the War De- partment.
 With reference to the contention about the Gorgas steam plant" it said, we feel that we can make little com n1ent. MT. Ford has advised our con- mittee that If my revised offer for Gorgas is rejected, then I must un- derstand that the acceptance of my oHer for Muscle Shoals as whole and not in part is refused.' A

 Important to Former.
 "A fair considera tion of all the facts" the report declared. Heads un- nistakably to the conclusion that under the Ford offer the cost of fer fllizer delivered to the farmer can be materially reduced.''
 The report added that from the present fertilizer industry the farmer might expect but little in the reduc- ton of prices.
 These interests even declined the opportunity to use the governments nitrate plants free of cost 10 them and to be allowed without paving the government penny for the use of them to earn nine per cent on their invested operating capital before nav Ing the government anything, and aft CT nine per cent was earned addi- flonal profits were to be equally di- Vlded between these interests and the government" it is said How can these interests justly complain aeainst the acceptance by congress of the Ford offer when he proposes to nav S5,oo0, GOO, for the same nitrate plants that these interests declined to rim free Of any purchase or rental cost
