POWER COMPANY
 SEEKING RENEWAL ON SHOALS PLANT
Sheffield Hears Lease For Another Year Already
 Granted
Muscle Shoals Bureau.)

SHEFFIELD, Ala, Nov. 2G.-The Alabama Power company has evidently renewed or contemplates the renewal of it's lease from the United States government of the steam power plant located at nitrate plant No. 2, Shef- field. That the power company has extended it's lease on the steam power plant for another year is indicated by its renewal of the insurance policies on the plant.
 $3, 500, 900 and are payable to the United States government.
 A large amount of this insurance has been placed with agents of companies operating in Sheffield, Florence and Tuscumbia and the remainder with agents in Birmingham. The Alabama Power company pays the government $120,000 year or $10,000 month for the use of this steam plant and power is furnished to several adjoining states when the plant is in operation. The power unit is capable of developing 90,- 900 horsepower, or approximately TO- 900 kilowatts.
 The application or the Alabama Power company to the board of alder men of the city of Muscle Shoals last week for the right to build a power transmission line through the streets of that city has been the cause of much speculation in this district. Ac- tion on this application was deferred by the city council until a meeting could be held Friday night.
 
 While this proposed line, it is pointed out, could be the projected line from Cherokee to Hopgood, at the same time this franchise, if granted, would put the power company in position to run a transmission line directly to the south side of Wilson dam and thus enable them to make immediate use of the power from the dam as soon as it is available should Secretary Weeks be successful in his apparent effort to lease the shoals to them before final disposition by congress of the project.
