WEEKS RECEIVES
new OFFER FOR
MUSCLE SHOALS
Government Would Retain
Ownership, and Receive
S3,500,000 a Year.

BY Associated Press:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-On the
eve of delivery to congress by Sec'y
Weeks OF Henry Ford s offer for
the government properties at
Muscle Shoals. Ala be-sI.a- Frederick
+. Engstrom, of Wilmington, n. c.,
presented the war secretary with an
amended proposal TO complete,
lease and operate the Muscle Shoals
properties for the manufacture of
nitrates for fertilizers.
The amended proposal was &C
companied by a letter signed by
Marion Butler, acting legal adviser
for Mr.. Engstrum, which recited
the outstanding features Of the FRO
posal as follows
"A guaranteed cost 10 complete.
Government retains ownership and
preserves assets Of S141. 900.
Returns from investment on a
basis OF 100000 kilOmatt develop
ments: this lease will pay TO the
government, the letter says, $500
600 per year for so years or total
at compound four percent interest
of approximately 1897. 900, 900; this
cash will be used to produce cheap
nitrates for fertilizers or can be
turned into the treasury at .he OPP
ton of the government.
Success of nitrate manufacture
which can be economically used for
fertilizer is depended entirely on
sale OF power; without the support
of the power development and sale
of excess power to finance the nj
trate plants it would not be posi-
BILE to continue the manufacture
and sale of nitrates.
The power end OF the industry is
solely developed for the benefit of
the factory The separation OF the
factory from the power destroys
the unity of the industry.
The lease proposes to devote the
entire power development to the
manufacture of nitrates. including
the development Of improved meth
DDS for the reduction of cost OF
producing nitrates.
The quantity of nitrates annually
produced is limited only by the
amount of excess power sold and
the selling price Of nitrates fixed
by the government
The methods proposed TO finance
by the sale Of excess power the
manufacture of nitrates IS the only
possible method by which nitrates
can be produced under present
known methods and sold TO the
American farmers at a price less
than the Chilean products.
We Will be glad the letter con-
Guided. Ito consider any changes or
amendments which you may sug-
gest with a view 10 accepting the
