SHOALS POWER TO
PEOPLE OE SOOTH
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—Secre
tary Weeks disclosed today that he '
was taking steps to ascertain the !
scope of his authority to contract |
for the temporary disposition of [
power generated at the Muscle '
Shoals nitrate plant, should congress
fail to make final disposition of the
plant prior to she completion of the
power units. The war secretary is
confident that if he has legal power
to do so, he can make advantageous
contracts with nearby power com
panies to take the bulk of the power
output which is to be developed.
The power plants at Muscle Shoals
are rapidly nearing completion and
unless congress acts during the com
ing short session upon'pending leg
islation to make final disposition of
the whole project, the war secretary
faces the probability that he will
have on his hands completed power
units which must stand idle unless
he has authority to operate them and
lease the output or to lease them
for operation.
He, therefore, has asked Major
General Hull, the judge advocate
general of the army, to furnish him
with an opinion as to his legal pow
ers.
If opinion should hold that
he has not the authority to make
such temporary contracts for power
as he has in mind, Mr. Weeks prob
ably will ask congress to confer the
power upon him by resolution when
it appears that the Muscle Shoals
legislation is not to be completed
during the short session.
While there may be some diffi
culty about finding temporary mar
kets for all of the power the Muscle
character usually mean that the
power companies are known to be
prepared to take a very large part
of it. The form of contract for such
leases would be for short term of a
year or so, the contracts containing
a revocable clause which could be
applied in the event of an unexpect
ed development at any time for the
permanent disposition of the whole
plant. Short term contracts of this
price received for the power would
price received for he power would
be a little less than could be obtani-
I ed on a long term lease without the
revocable feature except in cases of
national emergency.
Mr. Weeks has noticed that with
the approaching opening of the short
session of congress, and with the
Muscle Shoals legislation first in or
der of business on the senate calen
dar, there has been a revival of talk
about the Muscle Shoals project,
manifested by the number of callers
at his office who mention that sub
ject.
He had an appointment today
with Elon H. Hooker, of New York,
one nf the men interested in one
of the many bids now before con
