Henry Ford a offer to purchase ami le.-mu the nitrate and water powot pro jects at Muselo Shoals, Ala., stands a ione among the. widely different propo sals received from nitrate interests by' which the Government would entirely rid itself of future construction expenses in cident to the completion and immediate operation of tho project. Of the other proposal received, and contemplated by War Department of ficials, including that of C. C. Tinkler, of 8an Francisco, none can be construed iu the ctaiipefitivo sense as In'iug com parable to that mado by Mr. Ford.
