Wooden Mill

AT the meeting of the business men on
Thursday night OF last week TO consider
plans for the establishing of a wooden
mill in Alma, g. +. Brown was elected
chairman and Bert Hayes secretary. A
committee of three, consisting of r. w.
Hooper, DIR. W. Kelly and Bert Hayes,
was appointed TO solicit investors in the
project, and we understand the commit.
tee is meeting with good success. The
plan is to organize a stock company of
those willing to invest, each investor to
receive five per cent interest on the
amount of stock held and as fast as the
proceeds of the mill warrant, the stock
is to be taken up by Mr. Moore. This
is certainly safe investment as the
building and machinery will be insured
to more than cover the amount of stock,
and remains the property of the COM
pany until each stakeholder is fully paid
up.

CAN'T SELL BEER.
Except as il is Shipped Direct From
the RreWerN


According to the recent issues of the
daily press, Attorney General Osen has
rendered decision in regard to brew
cries establishing, in other counties than
where they are located, agencies for
the sale of their products to retailers
The following is the opinion as handed
down:
"In reply to questions from Mueller
Bros, brewers of Owosso, Attorney
General Oren states that brewers who
pay 500 tax cannot enter IA local option
county and store or sell liquor. But
they can sell in any county at wholesale
without paying additional tax. They
cannot build store houses i'll other
counties, as that would be equivalent Co
additional breweries."
1t is thought that the attorney general
never gave such an opinion as the above,
as it would be impossib BILE for him TO do
so under the laws of the state governing
the sale of liquor.
Here is what brewer, who has paid
his 800 tax may do, according TO past
supreme court decisions III this state:
He may sell his beer in any county,
town, village or city in Michigan, local
option or otherwise, in original packages,
at wholesale only, by shipping direct 60
purchaser Without an extra state
license he may erect a cold storage ware
house for the benefit Of his consumers,
have an agent in charge of IL and de-
liver beer from it TO bona fide customers,
providing the original barrels, kegs or
cases We're consigned from the brewery

with the customers name and address.
