Power Company's Offer De- clared Best In Recent
 Resolutions

DEMOPOLIS, Ala, March 1.-(Spe- cial. .)-Several days ago F. c. Coleman. president of the Commercial club of Demopolis, called mass meeting to be held at the c!;ibrooms last night to con slider the various offers made the United States government for Muscle Shoals. This mass meeting was largely attend ed by representatives of the Conner cial club, Kiwanis club, Rotary club, members of the city council and other city officials.
 After n full discussion of the various offers the following resolution was unanimously adopted. after due consid- eration, that it is the sense and judg- ment of this meeting, first, that the United States governrient should not accept the Henry Ford offer for Muscle Shoals as it is not to the best interest of the whole people of Alabama that the same be accepted;
 Second. that it will be better for the greater part of Alabama and the greater number of it's people that the bids of the power companies be ac- cepted subject to the United States government retaining supervision and control of the rates to be charged for the service to be rendered the public by such power companies;
 Third, that the benefits to be de- rived in the event Ford's offer is ac- cepted will be largely local and con- fined to the section and towns at or near Muscle Shoals while if the bids of the power companies are accepted sub- ject to proper control and regulation the entire south will get the benefit of the power from Muscle Shoals:
 Fourth, that the power at Muscle Shoals belongs to the whole south and should be utilized so as to render the greatest benefit to the greatest number of it's people and this can only be- ac-
