By GEORGE BRITT. (Special Correspondent) Washington, Feb. 25.—Muscle Shoals has been a household gener- | lity since the war, but neyer was it such a pertinent issue as now. = Heretofore it was possible to dis- r it with a “Ho, hum, let them finish it before they worry me ihout it. Time enough to cross 4.+ bridge when we get to it.” Well, in literal fact, they are} iv completing the mile of driveway 3vhich bridges the masonry arches of the great Wilson dam. It is zeady to be crossed. The hydro- electric installations are virtually complete and the spring high water 4s expected to move eight turbines generating 260,000 horespower. ? Now, What to Do? Now that the government has a 450,000,000 dam, in addition to $80,000,000 worth of nitrate plants, what is it going to do with it? ‘There are three uses of the Muscle Shoals development. First, the government considers | * the big nitrate plant, No. 2, of mary military importance. It will insist that it be kept in condition to make, nitrogen for explosives Without delay. Second, there is the fertilizer pos- Sibility. ‘The plant may be used to Prodiee nitrogen enrichment for the soil. Third, and of greatest immediate smportance, there is the mighty electric power for which the use- fulness is of unlimited value. 3 ris’ Plan Senator George W. Norris of Ne- braska, the man chiefly responsible Yor defeating the Henry Ford bid on the shoals, would have the gov- ernment itself operate the plant, making nitrates and selling the sur- plus power for the common benefit. President Coolidge is in favor of leaging the plant and a resolution to ask for bids for a 50-year lease is before the Senate now. Tho > two policies seem to be the alternatives. In spite of the tremendous vol- ume of talk about the advantage of the Muscle Shoals plant for the manufacture of cheap fertilizer, it is widely agreed by this time that the advantage is not so great.. Nit- rogen fertilizer can be made else- where and sold cheaper. Farmers use mostly nitrate of soda, which is notthe cost convenient product of the:Muscle Sheals plant. Consequently, engineers now say that fertflizer production, while de- sirable, will yield first place in im- portance to electric power. _ The idea of putting the Tennessee river water power to work would be considered almost anybody’s idea. For 15 years there has been agitation for government action by. Jom resident of the Tennessee I improvement Association. He is the man who induced Henry Ford to make his offer. The decision to locate the project at Muscle Shoals was made by President Wilson whose part is commemorated by the name of the Wilson dam. Plans were drawn and the supervision of the engincer- ing work was carried on by a form- er afmy engineer, Colonel Hugh L. Cooper. construction was by civilian labor under the guidance of army engineers. Lieutenant George R. Spalding was the chief for the zg rT part of the time, and Major Cc. Tyler now is in charge. shadowing all these names in Hopular attention, however, is that of Henry Ford. The ironical fates. made him the personification of the Muscle Shoals dream, and all he did was to offer to buy for $5,- 000,000 the property which had cost the people $89,000,000 and which had-a replacement value of $55,- 000,000. Ford proposed that the government complete the Wilson dam‘and build the. No. 3 dam which would produce almost half as much power additional. by Ford's Offer Ford wonld take these on a 100- F lease, with a rental of about 2} ‘aff ber.cent of the ‘cost he would A $5,000,000 for the two nikente Biante and. the industrial villages; he would use one plant to make auto- mobile parts and would sell fertil er from the other at a profit limit- ed to 8 per cen, di fer was made in July, 1921 andsreceived with approval by lions who considered Muscle Shoals si a white elephant.
