OVERTURE TO FORD
ON MUSCLE SHOALS
Representative Madden Out
lines Plan to Coolidge to
Meet Manufacturers View.

Outlines for q new proposal for
disposition Of the Muscle Shoals
project, contemplating a duplication
of the Gorgas steam plant, recently
sold to the Alabama Power Company,
and its inclusion In the properties.
was presented to President Coolidge
today by Chairman Madden. of the
House appropriations committee.
Under the plan outlined the gov
be built a new plant at dams Is. 16
and II. located about ten miles south
west Of Gorgas. A new power trans
mission line from the plant to Muscle
Shoals proper also would be author
lied. Mr.. Madden expressed the be-
lief that revised offer based On
these proposals could be obtained from
Henry Ford.
The Illinois representative told the
President he would soon begin work
on a bill embodying his plan and
would have, the legislation in shape
for presentation when Congress con-
venes next month. He said also he
believed there was q substantial unity
Of opinion In the House in favor of
z speedy disposition OF the Muscle
Shoals question.
"One Of the first acts Of Congress
should be to clean up this Muscle
Shoals proposition" said Mr.. Madden
after his conference. This question
has been before Congress long
enough. and there is a general opin-
ion among House members that the
drain on the Treasury should be stop
ped through lease or sale Of the war
built properties to private interests"
President Coolidge is understood to
have informed Mr.. Madden that he
favored early settlement of the ques-
tion.
"If we can make the southern states
more productive through the manu-
facture of nitrates for fertilizer at
Muscle Shoals we will have added
that much to the riches and pros
perity Of the whole United States"
said Mr.. Madden. Taking that view
of the matter, / believe that the gov
ernment can afford to make a con-
tribution in the interest OF national
prosperity to the amount 1t original
ly expended in building the Muscle
Shoals property"
