14 3 POWER COMPANIES MAKE SHOALS OFFER ‘Would Produce 100,000 Tons of Fertilizer Annually for ! Fifty Years. CARBIDE CONCERN HAS PLAN Believes It Has Process for Pro- ducing Better Form of Nitrates. Secretary Weeks recelved today from representatives of three south- ¢rn power companies and chemical manufacturers a formal proposal for the manufacture by them of fer- tilizers at Muscle Shoals, Ala., for fifty years, the duration of the lease asked by them for the nitrate plants at the shoals. | Under the terms of the offer, it was pointed out, $1,600,000 would be vald out annually by the company for power generated at dam No. 2, and in addition a rental of $150,000 yearly would be paid for nitrate plant No. 2. The committee was told that 100,000 tons of fertilizer would be produced annually. The proposal was turned over by the War Secretary to experts of his department for study and report pre- liminary to its submission to Con- gress for final consideration there. The new offer was designed to work fn_conjunction with that previously submitted by the Memphis Power and Light Company, the Tenessee Electric Power Company and the Alabama Power Company requesting a fifty- vear lease of the power projects at uscle Shoals at a rental of $100,000,- 000. These companies agreed to fur- nish 100,000 horsepower for fertilizer manufacturing and it is in connection with that provision that the chemical manufacturers, headed by Theodore Swann of Birmingham, assoclated with Dr. Louls C. Jones and Dr. R. F. Bacon, fertilizer and alr fixation sclentist, that the offer today was made. Representatives of the Union Car- ide Company of New York appeared today before the House military com- mittee to explain its offer, which cons templates the manufacturs of fertilizer 2t Muscle Shoals. ¢ The committee was told that the company, with long and varled ex- perfence in the manufacture of elec- trie furnace products, possesses what it believes to be a process for the production of the most desirable form of nitrogenous fertilizer so far de- veloped, and would be able to use existing’ facllities in nitrate plant No. 2, at Muscle Shoals.
