HAD A MODEL GOVERNMENT Permanent Settlement Around U. S. Nitrate Plant Presented ? Unusual Problems. By GARRBT 8MITH. The fourth largest city In Alabama, teopled with 20,000 souls of diverse aces and religions, uprooted from far cattpred communities In every part if the United States and Canada iprang Into being almost overnlgbr round the great new government amaonium nitrate plant down on tho pen cotton and corn fields at Muscle Ihoals on the Tennessee River during he last year of the World War. Here ras s problem In city building, munlcpal government and commulty welar? that has seldom been equalled ? ind the success of Its solution has A) lever been excelled. The job was In the hands of the Air fltra :m Corporation which had been irgnnlxed under the direction of the )nliunte Department to build plant ind city st Muscle Shoals. Knrly In c0 January, 1018, this new town had a M ew temporary buildings and a popu- cu atlon of 300. This had Jumped by the nlddle of August to more than 21,000. u L population multiplied by 70 In 7 aontl.s. si( In the management of the new owns and army cantonments that n iprnng up during the war the oldlme tvila that attended the growth or lai nush room cities have been avoided >y the application of modern welfare ur lystems. But nowhere were condl- tr; Ions more difficult than at Muscle fr Shoals. Here was a malarial region ov hreatened at the same time with tther deadly disease epidemics. Trans- M ?ortatlon was lacking. No nearby nt abor was available and the general abor shortage was at Its most aoute (h itaga. Costs of labor anft supplies vere leaping over night. Furthermore, ar duscle Shoals differed from all the 00 >ther new war towns Inasmuch as It ras to be permanent. wl New Qovernment Devised. UI The managers, besides city govern- lr nent, had to handle the entire retail mslness of the town. camp super- in rlsor's department was put in charge sii >f the maintenance of all buildings, Vc Ire protection and sanitation. The js ramp supervisor looked after every- t hlng from the mending of a lock to he remodeling of groups of buildings I11 >r laying sowers or steam mains. For in he bachelor contingent a commissary tc lepartment was necessary. th The business department managed b< he stores, canteens, motion picture in heaters, pool parlors, tailor shops, r)i try cleaning establishments, barber shops, newsstands, a hotel, a vegetable _ farm and a hog farm where 1,000 hogs were raised on the wastes from eating places. It maintained a slaughter house where those hogs were put through the regular packing house 1 course. It operated a laundry which ' cleaned 7,403 pieces a day. Then there was a real estate department , that rented and managed the family J quarters and a housing department > which assigned to quarters everybody excepting the families. <4 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 w the temporary buildings, and was soon full grown and splendidly sqalpped. Conditions were favorable to disease. The winter was the lr severest on record In northern Ala- 17 bama. The men were compelled to k work either In deep snow or mud above g their knees. As a result a pneumonia epidemic developed among the Negroes j that spring. Later In ths year a tvvihAM .nlilamlA nf.? l? yitviu ?yiu?iiuiv Iiiivnivuru. I -? Moreover, the site of the plant won In the heart of the malaria district. Hut the pneumonia epidemic was chocked, the typhoid threat nipped in the bud, and malaria stamped out. A Health Record Established The little first-aid hospital presently grew to a complete modern Institution with a nurses' home and a separate dispensary for dental, eye, ear, nose, throat, genlto-urinary clinics and a surgical dispensary for first-aid work. During the eight months when the deuth rate was not affected by the influenza aud pneumonia epidemics the general health rate was 11.4 per thousand per year, which is lower than In most cities in the same latitude and climate, and the pneumonia death rate during the epidemic was lower than in most army cantonments. Much of the success of the health administration is due to the establishment of the Muscle Shoals sanitary district by tlie United States Public Health 8orvlee. The education and welfare depart ntent also had a vital work to perform. There waa a school population of over 1,000. The Kecretarjr of War created the community organisation branch of the Ordnance- Department which, with advice and aid of some of the greatest nchool men of the country, prescribed the coureee of study and recruited teachers from the beat established systems STATIONERY I PRINTING 1 I , TV r hv, ai K-Ji?
