MUSCLE SHOALS | BID WITHDRAWN Henry Ford Decides To Develope His Own Power Project In South (United Presß Service) New York, Oct. 14—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Henry Ford has withdrawn his bid for Muscle Shoals and will develop his own (tower project in the south. Muscle Shoals "is no longer a live issue with us,” Ford said in an interview with Collier's Weekly, made public today. "More than two years ago we made the best bid we knew how to make. INo definite action has been taken on it. I "A simple affair of business which [should have been decided by anyone, within a week has become a complicated political affair. We do not intend to be drawn into politics. Birmingham. Ala., Oct. 14 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —With Henry Ford's bid for Muscle Shoals out of the way, the Alabama Power com ( pany will continue its proposal. Pres ident Thomas W. Martin said in a statement issued here today. “Withdrawal of FoM’s offer for Muscle Shoals does not affect the position of the Alabama Power company,” Martin said. GRADE CROSSING SAFETY MEETING First Organized Effort To Eliminate Accident Toll Started < United Press Service) Indianapolis. Oct. 14—The first organized effort to eliminate the rapidly growing accident toll at the 10.000 grade crossings in Indiana started here today with the opening of the two-day Grade Crossing Safety Conference. Governor Branch, at whose call the conference is being held made the opening address by telling briefly why he had issued and what he hoped the outcome would be. About 130 delegates —representaj tives of railroads, interurban comi panys, automobile associations, state j government departments, newspapers • and the public service commissions from states circumjacent to Indiana were present. E. M. White, assistant attorney general, followed the Governor with an address "Grade Elimination and , Grade Separation” in which he told .of the possibility of enacting new laws for grade crossing accident ' elimination and of the proper en- ; forcement of present laws. i Elimination of grade crossing accidents will eventually depend upon j police enforcement, H. D. McClelland . manager of the state automobile i license department declared in an address following that of White. He , said although the most glaring signs i are put at grade crossings warning i them of the danger or warning them Ito stop, or if the must stringent | laws are enacted most of the motor- , ists would either disregard them consciously or unconsciously unless enough police were employed to enforce them, he said. I He recommended tnat the public service commission designate the most dangerous crossings where stop signs are necessary and have sufficient warning signs placed on them. He said that the legislature should i create a state police force large enough to keep ths motorist conscious enough of them. i ' Boulevard stop signs in the city are large'y successful even if there is no policemen permanently stationed at tile crossings because drivers are afraid that th Mr might be a policeman nearby o stop them if they did not obey the order,” he said. "So mdy grade crossing signs be success ful when motorists begin to fear that a state policeman might be near tc stop them if they did not obey the order of the grade crossing sign.” | Court House | Judgment for $90.50 Judgment for $90.50 and costs was awarded the plaintiff today in the case of Cyrus C.
