SHOALS POWER
SALES HIT

YaAs Oovernment virtually is
Sa6 the mercy" Of the Alabama
Power Company In the sale of
power fron the great Muscle
Shoals plant, Maj. Gen. Lytle
Brown. CHIEF OF Army engineers,
told. the House Appropriations
Committee at recent secret hear
tnEg, it was disclosed yesterday.
The Alabama Power Company
and the Tennessee Power Com
pany are the only companies
having transmission lines to Mus
Gle Shoals. Brown said.
No power Is being sold by the
Government to the Tennessee
company, but it was Browns
understanding, he said, that this
firm buys power from the Ala.
bama Power Company. The Ten
nessee company built its line
last year.
There Is no competition in
bidding between the companies
for the cheap Muscle Shoals
power, so that the Government
90 left with no alternative but
10 sen power to the one bidder,
he said.
Since the Government started
selling power on September IL,
1925, from Wilson Dam, it has
received $3,617,677, he testified.
