NEW SHOALI OFFER
IS FROWNED upon
Would Be Disastrous To De-
velopment OF District, Is
View Of Tri-Cities
MUSCLE SHOALS BCREAU |
THE AGE-HERALD
FTorance AIo n~c q /


The reaction of the public of the
Tri-Cities on the report that a new
Did has been filed with Secretary
OF War Weeks for the govern
ments properties at Muscle Shoals,
which contemplates the purchase of
power which will be generated at
Wilson dam at stipulated price of
Sz6O0,O00 per annum, is that the ac-
ceptance of such a bid would be dis
astrous to the industrial development
OF the district and defeat the will
OF millions of farmers who want the
power used in the manufacture of
fertilizer.
The information from Washington
following Henry Ford's conference
with President Coolidge that his offer
sun stands and the statement by the
President in his message to Con-
gress that he favors the sale of the
Muscle Shoals properties is the best
news this district has received re-
Gently. Although Mr.. Coolidge did
not say he favored the acceptance of
the Ford offer. he did say he favored
the disposition of the property and
a $ the Ford bid is the only one be-
fore Congress providing foriits pur-
chase, the local viewpoint Is that he
wants Ford to have it.
Madden Bill Questioned.
There has been some question here
as to the seriousness of Congressman
Madden's bill providing for the build
ing of an auxiliary steam power
plant on the Warrior river to re-
place the one recently sold to the
Alabama Power company SO that the
Muscle Shoals properties would rep
resent the same valne as that pro-
posed in the original Ford offer, but
a representative of the Florence
Chamber of Commerce, who has re-
Gently returned from Washington,
where he conferred with officials of
the Tennessee River Improvement
association and legislative leaders,
has set aside such questions by say
ing that he was advised that Mr..
Madden and the advocates of the
Ford offer are very much in earnest
about the matter and that the plan
proposed is both feasible and reason
able.
Secretary Weeks has refused to d.
vulge the names of the new bidders
for Muscle Shoals, but the people
feel confident that 1t is some con-
Germ interested only in the sale of
power with no idea OF fertilizer pro-
duction. The people here do not be-
lieve that any such offer will receive
serious consideration by Congress of
that it will tend to further delay &C.
ton on the Ford proposal.
