Little THIS GUY BUILT WHILE YOU WAIT Fourth Largest Town In Alabama Full Grown In One Year. HAD A MODEL GOVERNMENT Permanent Settlement Around U. S. Nitrate Plant Presented Unusual Problems. By GARRET 8&IITH, The fourth largest city In Alabamt, peopled with 5KV.000 souls of diver* raced and religion#, ijprootcd from far scattered communities In every part of the United States and Canada sprang Into .being "nlmoat overnight around the great new government am tnonlum nitrate plant down' on the open cotton and corn fields at Muscle Shoals on the Tennessee River during the laat year of the World War. Here was a problem In city building, munle* Ipel government and commulty wel fare that ha* seldom been equalled and the success of Ita solution baa never been excelled. " The Job was In the hands of the Air Nitrates Corporation which had been organised under the direction ot the Ordnance Department to build plant and city at Muscle Shoals. Early In January, 1918, this new town had a few temporary buildings and a popu lation of 800. This had Jumped by the middle of AugusHto more than 21,000. A population multiplied by 70 In 7 months. In the management* of the new towns sitd army cantonments that sprang up during the war the old time evils that attended the growth of mushroom cities have been ^voided by the- application of modern welfare systems.But nowhere were condi tions more difficult than at Muscle Sboala. Here was a malarial region threatened at the same tlnie with other deadly disease epidemics. Trans portation was lacking. No nearby labor was available and the general labor shortage was at Its most acute stage. Costs of labor and supplies were leaping over night. Furthermore, Muscle Shoals differed from all the other new war towns Inasmuch as It was to be permanent. New Government Devised. The managers, besides city govern ment* had to handle the entire retail business of the town. A camp super visor's department was put In charge of the maintenance of all buildings, fire protection and sanitation. The camp supervisor looked after emery thing from the mending of a lock to the remodeling of groups of buildings or laying sewers or steam mains. For the bachelor contingent a commissary department was necessary. The business department managed the stores, canteens, motion picture theaters, pool parlors, tailor shops, dry cleaning establishments, barber shops, newsstands, a hotel, a vegetable farm and a hog farm where 1,000 hogs were raised on the wastes from eat ing places. It maintained a slaughter house where these hogs were put through the regular packing house course. It operated a laundry which cleaned 7,493 pieces a day. Then there was a-real estate department that rented and managed the family quarters and a housing department which assigned to quarters everybody excepting the families. Under separate Jurisdiction from Its community director were the police. The health department, In charge of a physician from New York city, started with a small office In one of the temporary buildings, and was soon full grown and splendidly equipped. Conditions were favorable to dlseose. The winter was the severest on record In northern Ala bama. The men were compelled to work either In deep snow or mud above their knees. As a result a pneumonia epidemic developed among the Negroes that spring. Later In the year n typhoid epidemic was threatened. Moreover, the site of the plant waft In the heart of the malaria district But the pneumonia epidemic wsa checked, the typhoid threat nipped In the bud, and malaria stamped out; A Health Record KstabMshed The Uttlu first-old hospital present ly grew to a complete modern Institu tion with a nurses* home and a sep arate dispensary for dental, eye, ear, nose, throat, genlto-urlnary clinics and a surgical dispensary for flrst-aid work During the eight months when the' death rate was not affected by the In-' fluenza and pneimionla epidemics the general health rate waa 12.4 per thou sand per year, which la lower than In' moat cities in the same latitude and j climate, and the pneumonia death rate during the epidemic was lower than In moat army cantonment*. Much of the puccesa of tha health administration it due to tha establish ment of the Muscle Shoala sanitary district by the United States Public Health Service. V. The education and welfare depart ment also had a vital work to perform. There was a school population of ovar 1,000. The Secretary of War created the community organisation branch of the Ordnance Department which, with advice and aid Of aowe of the greatest school men of the country, preecrlhal the coureee of atody aud recruited teach cm from the beat ee tabllahed systems. * ./TV / ? \v . ? .
