10 [t e g WUSCLE SHOALS IS UP FOR DISCUSSION Major Burns of U. S. Army Tes- fifies as to Situation Washington, Feb, 13.—Major G. H. Burns, chief of the ammunition div- fsion, army ordnance bureau, was| called today to describe to the house military committee the physical 1.1_»" out of the Muscle Shoals project. He stated it to be his oplnfon that the | government was obligated to sell the Warrior plant to the Alabama Power | Co., or to "remove the plant from the fand on which it is constructed.” Reoresentative McKenzie, republi- | can, Iimeis, declaring that the War- | rlor plant was one of those compris- ed In the Henry Iord offer, asked if | this situation did mst make the pro- posal “impracticable for congress to| undertake.” The witness replied that | the Warrior plant might not be an essential part of the Ford plan, “We cannot give a clear title to that plant,” he sald, "but we can to the nitrate plants."” Other members of the committees ealled attention to the language of Mr. Ford's offer, which they interpret- ed as necessitating its acceptance in whole, or not at all, Speaking of fertilizer manufacture at Muscle Shoals, the witness said it was his “honest belief that Mr. IFord could not reduce the price very ma- terially.” Chemical research in the future, he added might reduce the present cost of production. Representative Miller of Washing- ton, analyzed war department estim- ates of power production at the plants to show that they developed enough power to operate nitrate plant num- ber two without using the Wilson dam and Major Burns agreed that power from the dam was not needed for the nitrate plant. Mr. Miller reiterated his statement that the only return to the govern- ment for the $106,000,000 expended on the Muscle Shoals project would be under Mr. Ford's offer, the $5,000,000 he would give for ithe outright pur- chase of the two nitrate plants the Waco quarry and the Warrior power plant. “I understand,” he added, “‘we can get more than $3,000,000 for the War- rior plant alone—that is three-fifths of what Mr, Ford offers for all.” “That’s right,” agreed Major Burns. MONEY ORDER DEPT. NEARLY COMPLETED New Section at the Post Office Will Be Ready for Occupancy This Week, The new money order scction which has been under construction at the local post office for the past few weeks will be ready for occupancy this week, according to the statement of Postmaster William F, Delaney, rhe painters are finishing up the work on the section and preparations are under way to move the depart- ment from its present quarters in the | east end of the building to the new section in the west end, At present, -besides the money or- der department, the' present place is occupied by the registry department, the assistant postmaster, the C. O. D. department, and other business de- partments and if there is eyer a rush in the future on the money order de- partment as there has been frequent- ly in the past, it would cause a great deal of inconvenience to all concerned. A new sub-station has been set up in McNamee’s drug store at the cor- ner of Stanley and Whiting streets and the first report was turned in from there today. It shows that there was a great need for a sub-station in that locality. There are at present eight sub-stations in operation in the city. There were formerly nine, but since the Russell drug store on West Main street changed hands, that one has been discontinued because the new owners did not care to handle the business. Mr. Delaney has the matter under consideration, and as/ soon as a suitable place can be found, | a sub-station will be set up in the west end of the city. §t.
