MUSCLE SHOALS
RULING IN Z WEEKS
Secretaries Weeks and Hoo.
yer Confer With Henry
Ford Yesterday.

Following conference between
Henry Ford of Detroit and Secretaries
Weeks and Hoover and Brig. Gen.
Harry Taylor. Corps of Engineers, at
the War Department yesterday after
noon. in regard to the formers offer
to lease and operate the Muscle Shoals
plant. Secretary Weeks announced
that the question of the disposition of
that plant would be referred to Con-
sress within the next two weeks for
final action
The reference. he said. probably
would include the proposition of Mr..
Ford. as well as those received from
Frederick Engstrum of Wilmington.
\. C., and from c. z. Tinker of San
Francisco.
Secretary Disappointed.
Explaining the action taken by the
conference. Secretary Weeks said he
was disappointed in that Mr.. Ford
declined to agree to certain modifica-
tions of his plans. which were held
desirable by his conferees. One of
these was that affecting the reduction
of the 1O0-year-lease period. The
principal modification agreed to by
MIR. Ford was that guaranteeing pay
ment annually of per cent interest
on the cost OF construction of dams
Nos. and 3. regardless of the cost,
whereas at first he offered interest
only on $2S,000.O00
Secretary Weeks statement fol-
lows:
Mr. Hoover and ] have had a long
consultation with Mr.. Ford about his
offer for Muscle Shoals. and have
brought up for consideration various
| h.a.. ~f 4 to-,
which Mr.. Ford is willing to make Is
based on our request that there
should be a guarantee of the limita-
tion of cost of building dams Nos. ,
and 3. and. in that matter. he has
offered to pay 4 per cent interest on
of their completion to the expiration
OF the contract.
THAT, of course. means on the
amount of money which has not been
returned to the government through
the amortization plan made in the
Ford is going to be put in the form
of contract and sent to Congress" :"
Would Add to Task.
1t was explained that Mr.. Fords
refusal to accept the modification pro-
posed for reduction of the 100-year
term probably would give Congress
an added task in connection with its
consideration of the offer. Existing
laws regulating lease of properties
possessed by the federal government,
il was explained. limit the period of
maximum lease to less than century
and Congress probably would have to
modify the statutes in the event it
decided to accept the Ford proposal.
Mr.. Ford, however, was said to have
expressed an unwillingness to agree
to a shorter time on the ground that
the financial investment he would
make would involve a greater amount
of money than he was prepared to
spend under any time period less than
100 years.
