to develop the governments vast pow
er and nitrate projects at Muscle
Shoals, Ala, has been given additional
approval by the house military COM
mittee" and reported to the house with
in the form agreed to In committee.
The action taken was IL to 8, in ex-
ecutive session, and was interpreted
by committee men generally as being
in effect but the preliminary skirmish
to what promises to become bitterly
contested battle between the propo.
nents of the Ford offer in the house.
In arriving at its final decision the
committee decided to eliminate from
the properties covered in the Ford Of
fer the steam plant at Gorgas, Ala,
and agreed with w. B. Mayo and j. w.
Worthington, representatives of the
Detroit manufacturer, upon new lam
guage regulating the manufacture OF
Ford offer was fully approved.
Mr.. Mayo declared when advised of
the committee action that despite elm
ination Of the Gorgas plant he regard
ed the. results announced as decisive
victory for Mr.. Ford and that more
determined effort than ever before
now would be made to obtain the
properties. To agree upon every de-
tail involved in the negotiations, ex-
cept one, was distinct achievement,
Mr. Mayo added. particularly since the
discussions had been extended over so
long period of time. more
than = year since they were first be-
gun at the war department. He ex-
pressed warm appreciation for the
courteous and conscientious work done
by the committee from the time it be-
gan consideration OF the subject.

ing 81, 100000 for continuation OF work
on the Wilson dam. so that a separate
vote might be had.
In the senate agricultural commit
tee, Oscar c. Merrill, executive officer
of the federal power commission, testi.
fled that the Muscle Shoals projects
should be completed and put in opera
tion preferably by private enterprise.
If the goternment decided to operate
the properties, Mr.. Merrill said he be-
lieyed the bill by Senator Norris OF

NEWS AND VIEWS
From T The
STATE CAPITAL
BY F. r. Birdsall

Boards of supervisors and mayors
and alderman throughout the state
are becoming actively interested in
the law which requires the making
up and publishing OF county and
city budgets, covering all expenses,
and showing every source of revenue,
and from what source derived. Almost
every day inquiry is made here at the
capital for this law. Failure to COM
ply with the provisions of the law
shall make members of boards OF
supervisors and aldermen and mayors
liable on their official bonds for the
ful amount of any claim allowed, con-
tract entered into, or public work pro-
vided for and the district and county
attorneys are directed to prosecute
them for violation Of the law. While
the publication of this budget. which
must be done after the September
meeting, brings in considerable money
to newspapers, 1T is estimated that
many more dollars will be saved the
taxpayers.
