plant near the coal mines at Gorgas,
Ala. This was in co operation with
the Alabama Power Company pint
there, and since the war il has been
sold to that company. With trans
hitting line, this plant cost about
SIS 100000
The foregoing items constitute the
present. layout at Muscle Shoals. In
the field Of power development, how
ever, the two dams which so far are
only dreams, represent a highly i'm
portant consideration. These dams
are intended to make the shoals Sec
ton entirely passable for navigation
and to utilize all the power possibNi-
ties Of the stream.
Dam No. is intended to serve
navigation interests only. II will
have no power plant. It will be about
three miles downstream from the
Wilson dam and will cost only about
81 100000.
Dam No. 3 will be about 20 miles
upstream, Mt the head Of great
pool backed up by the Wilson dam.
II will be longer than the Wilson
dam about 800 feet long but only
so feet high. 1t will develop maxi
mum Of 100000 horsepower and will
cost about $25,0O0,0O0. But these
two dams are not as yet even author
lied. The great industrial possibili-
ties Of the region. however, seem to
promise that such development will
become necessary.
