ASKS CHECK-UP
OF FINANCES OF
FLORIDA CITIES
GOVERNOR sHoLTZ SENDS
OUT CALL TO EVERY CITY
AND TOWN IN STATE TO OBJ
TAIN ACCURATE DATA
tBy Associated Pressl

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Nov. 20.
Governor Sholtz wants a look
at the financial condition of Flor
ida cities.
Every city and town in the
state has been called upon to sup
ply information about its current
debts, bonds, tax assessments, I'M
paid taxes, and other municipal
affairs.
Form questionnaires have been
sent to principal municipal Off
eiays, J. p. Newell, secretary to
Governor ShOltz, announced "for
the purpose OF obtaining accurate
and up-to-date information"
Similar queationnaires were
sent to counties recently by Comp
troller j, M. Lee, but compila-
ton of the answers has not been
/ completed.
Court Decision
The call made upon the cities is
in line with supreme court de-
cision this week that the governor
has authority to order audits of
municipal accounts. The author
ity, however, is conditioned upon
a definite fixing of the amount a
city will be required to pay for
making the audit. Such audits
must be made by the comptroller,
or by agents appointed by him, and
the cost of it becomes an obliga-
ton upon the city. The governors
authority was set out by the su-
preme court in deciding that he
had the right to order an audit of
the municipal affairs of Avon
Park.
Area Of city, its number OF
miles of paved streets, whether il
owns public utilities, and the net
revenue from such municipality
owned utilities in 1881. 1882 and
1888 were among the questions
set out in the form letter Newell
sent to city clerks.
Covers Many Subjects
On taxation, the information
asked covered assessed valuation
for 1881, 1882 and 1888, in real
and personal property, delinquent
taxes for past years. and the
miilage levied for 1881, 1882 and
1888.
| Figures on bonded debt and
sinking fund investments and cash
on hand also were called for. in
addition 10 information on the
amounts Of special assessment.
bonds and debts other than bonds
The amount of bonds indefauIt
if any, also was asked, together
with the amount Of bond interest
in default, If any, and the time the
first default occurred.
Newell asked the city official.
to return their answers to the
questionable as quickly as pos
sible.

Preliminary Work On Norris Dam
Spurs Big Tennessee Valley Project

KNOXVILLE, Ten. Nov. 20
The vast Tennessee valley pro-
ject is being pushed along rapidly
toward accomplishment of its three
principal detectives.
These detectives are operation
of the governments huge hydro
electric plant on the Tennessee
river at Muscle Shoals, construc-
ton of a $34,OOO,OO0 power and
navigation dam in east Tennessee
and the linking of the two by
226-mile transmission line.
Activity Is Widespread
There is a whirl of activity all
along the line-from the noun
tain country north of here, where
construction of Norris dam on the
Clinch river, a tributary of the
Tennessee, will impound a vast
body of water, to the whirring
generators of Wilson dam at
Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
DIR. A. E. Morgan, chairman of
the Tennessee Valley Authority,
in announcing an early star of
construction of the Norris dam
said that 900 men may be working
there by Christmas.
Test borings to determine the
nature of the foundation at the
dam site were preliminary to prep
arations for clearing land that
will be covered by water.
Huge Dam Of Concrete
The Norris dam will stand 236
feet above bedrock. 1t will be
built of concrete strengthened by
native stone from quarry near
by.
Four miles to the eastward,
laborers are building a construc-
ton camp that will house field
engineers, clerical staffs and
structural workers. Homes for
those permanently employed at
the dam will be built in ''model
town" near the temporary con-
struction camp.
Two hundred men have been
busy making a Typographical sur
vey of the proposed reservoir
which will have shore line 500
miles long. That will mean back
water extending as miles up the
Clinch river and 25 up its trib-
utary, the Powell river.
c. c. c. Men Employed
Four thousand members of the
Civilian Conservation Corps, are
working at reforestation, flood
control and preservation of the
soil in the Clinch river watershed.
At the same time a detachment
of 1000 forest workers was moved
to the 1,200-acre government
reservation surrounding Nitrate
Plant No. at Muscle Shoals.
Chairman Morgan says that ST.
100000 will be spent within the
next two months for materials used
in construction of the Norris dam
and the transmission line.
Fertilizer Production Proposed
Some indication of the response
valley communities are giving the
project is seen in applications by
100 municipalities for hydro
electric power.
The Authority tentatively has
allocated $3,500,0O0 to $4,000, 900
for fertilizer plant. That in
dustry may be conferred around
Nitrate Plant No. 2, a $50, 900, 900
wartime investment of the gov
eminent, which is idle.
Much of the electric current will
come from the power plant at Will
son dam which has a low-water
capacity of 100000 horsepower.
