Muscle Shoals Plant Seeks Private Owner In Auction
Muscle Shoals went on the auction block with bids led by Ford in a 100 year lease plan. The House Military Affairs Committee met in secret to finalize disposition and draft legislation to transfer the plant to private operation. Ford proposes nitrate fertilizer production and cost plus eight percent margin for farmers, with power kept by Ford. The Associated Southern Power companies seek a 50 year lease with government looped profits, and Hooker Electro Chemical supports continued government ownership with private operation and a one-fourth profit share.
