Construction Toll Proposed Work Stopped at Muscle Shoals
Washington May 23 By order from the White House work has been halted on the Muscle Shoals dam project. The action halts concrete pouring as the dam is judged to be lower than specifications to maximize water benefits. The stop delays the project until the Tennessee Valley development program advances and the halt is to be investigated by the Department of Justice. A separate telegram from Delegate Anthony J Dimond reported by the Alaska Territorial Chamber of Commerce indicated proposed tolls on interior highway traffic under Interior Department rules. Government sources later said only for hire vehicles would be taxed, with pleasure cars exempt. The delegate’s telegram questioned the wisdom of toll plans and promised further details.
