CIGAR OUTPUT HEAVY.
Detroit Factories Manufactured 244r
669,333 During 1909.

There is swell chance for the figur-
er to get busy with the data that
might be run up in regard to the cigar
output OF the Detroit factories last
year. During that time there was 244.-
669.333 cigars produced in our home
factories. That would allow OF De-
troits treating every man In the
United States to a handful and still
having a few left. Or 1t might figure
out that every adult Detroit male.
could get box week without ex'
hausting the local supply.
The figures are official because
they are given. out by the internal
revenue Office here. The same report
shows that more beer was brewed In
the eastern part of Michigan the past
year than before. the local option wave
to the contrary Notwithstanding. The
total internal revenue receipts in 1909
were S5,361. 1898 and of this $1.059,392
was FOR beer stamps or about $1,000
more than the beer tax for 1908.
Cigar taxes increased. as about 49,
000, 900 more of the tobacco rolls were
turned out than In 1908. II was Diff
ferent with smoking and chewing to-
bacco, however. the tax on these show
ing a falling off due to the burning OF
a large factory more than to any other
cause.
Internal revenue receipts at Detroit
were only about 80 per cent as great
in December. 1909. as in the same
month OF the previous year. This was
pronounced as being due to the fact
that less whisky was taken out Of
bond here.

STATE FAIR WILL
Be LIMITED TO
ONE WEEK
Planned To Open on Labor Day
and To Have Everything in
Readiness When the Gates
x Are Swung.
Question Of Banishing Bar From
Grounds Comes Up in Annual
Meeting Next Monday.

In all probability the Michigan State
Fair ASSOCIATION will decide TO open
the 1910 state fair on Labor day and
limit the exposition to Ave or six days.
The question Will come up al the an
nual meeting to be held In Detroit next
Monday, when several other matters
of Importance. including the liquor
question. will be discussed.
A majority of the directors are said
to favor the one.week fair Last year
the fair opened on Thursday. but 1t
was Monday before the exposition was
In full swing and. In consequence.
much dissatisfaction was expressed by
early visitors. This year the manage.
ment will make an effort to have
everything In readiness for opening
day, and to this end more stringent
rules governing exhibitors are likely
to be adopted. One of them Will prob.
ably prohibit the placing of al exhibit
after the opening OF the fair.
That the fair will have as q special
feature this year a series of aeroplane
fights Is practically assured. The OF.
ficials realize that flying machines OF
the Knabenschue and Beachey types
are back numbers In view nf the re-
markable achievements OF the Wright
brothers. Glenn Curtiss and. IL reports
are TO be credited. OF Tillinghast. In
this connection II has just become
known that the fair management made
the Wrights princely offer to come
here and give an exhibition at the state
fair grounds last FALL but they were
then so engrossed in their government
work they refused to consider It.
The association will renew the offer
this year. In all likelihood. and will
try to enlist the cooperation OF the
Michigan Aeroplane club. recently or
ganized here. with the Wright broth
ers as charter members. Failing TO

IL is expected that the Stadebaker
Interests will fight this movea in court.
maKing the fourth legal proceeding I'M
der way as a result OF the break be-
tween the Detroit automobile concern
and the Studebaker Automobile Co.
directors. of which hold minority
interest In the EMF company.
The stock pool and voting trust was
entered into about a year ago, when
Mcssrs. Metzger and Everitt sold out
their interests 10 the Studebakers. A
large controlling interest was put In
the care OF the Union Trust Co.. this
stock TO be voted In accordance with
the unanimous opinion OF the owners
thereof. All the Studebaker holdings
and about half OF the other holdings
are In tho pool. which was to last for
three years.
Tn eagieement held the EMF. Co.
safe from being bought out by any
other concern. But since the quarrel
between the Studebakers and the other
interests In the EMF. directorate.

management will probably fall back ON

nounced their intention several months
ago OF entering the aeroplape field next
season. In any event. II Is a safe bet
that aeroplanes will fit over the state
fair grounds next fall
On the liquor question there Is

II think that matter will be dis.
posed OF satisfactorily to the majority
of fair patrons and without difficulty"
said President Postal
Plans for the year contemplate fur.
Their improvements to the grounds and
the extension OF some of the depart
ments. II Is admitted by the officials
that there Is room for betterment In
certain departments. The horse ex-
hibit. for example. was far from COM
plete last year. and a determined ef-
fort will be made to make up for such
deficiencies in the forthcoming exhibi-
ton. Increased facilities for the dis.
play OF farm products will also be
provided. and the standard of the ex-
hibits generally raised wherever this
is found necessary.
President Postal believes that. the
time has come when the association
could proftably employ a manager to
give his entire time to the Job the year
around ON a fixed salary OF such pro-
portions as to be an inducement to q
capable man.
what we need is q man to look
after things the year around" said
Mr.. Postal. "Our investment IL large
enough to make such an officiai not
only desirable but imperative. In my
opinion. And We can't get q man 20
give up his time to that work unless
we pay him what he is worth"
This matter will also come before
the association In the annual meeting.

NO RELIEF TILL 1912.
Providing Better Sewer Facilities
For Milwaukee junction 10 BIG Job.

PROVIDING Better Sewer Facilities
For Milwaukee junction 10 Big Job.
1t will be 1912. at the earliest. be-
fore any adequate relief can be gwen
to the manufacturers and household
ers In the Milwaukee Junction district
who have appealed to the council for
better sewer facilities. City Engineer
Mccormick has sent q communication
TO the common council. stating that
big trunk sewer out Mt. Elliot.-ave..
with branch running west on Ferry
ave. to John R.-st.. Is the only thing
to give present relief and care Tor
future needs.
At present, he says, the Whole dis
trict bounded by Woodward. ST. Aubin.
Garfield and Clay-aves.. Is drained by
FIVE main sewers, all emptying into the
Canfleld-ave. sewer. The five small
sewers have q united capacity OF 319
cubic feet per second. while the Can.
field sewer had but 166 cubic feet per
second capacity.
The north. and south sewers are
large enough, but any excessive rain
results In the choking OF the Canfield-
ave sewer. 1t will be cheaper to build
new sewer In Ferry-ave. than To re-
build and enlarge the one In Garfield
ave. The Mt. Elliott-ave. sewer Is an
ultimate necessity. In any event, be-
cause Of the marvellous growth of the
portion of Hamtramck adjoining the
Grand Trunk tracks. This part OF
Hamtramck is now often flooded by
heavy rains. Such a sewer would re-
quire several years to construct.
The city engineer has not yet fig
ured the cost Of the proposed sewer,
bat Il is not likely to be less than
5000, 900.

Industrial interests of Oakland
to Get Together at Big
Banquet

OAKLAND, Nov. 30.-Many accept
ances are pouring in for the big ban
quet to be given by the manufacturers
and producers committee of the cham
Der of commerce Friday evening, De-
cember 2, at the Scottish Rite cathedral
The committee looks for more than 800
guests, representative men in all lines
of enterprise, and the evening will be
devoted to getting together for mutual
benefit and for the good of the city
In addition to speakers who will dis
cuss the different aspects of the manu-
featuring industry, and men in retail
lines who will show the relationship
between the two lines, the matter of
Oakland'S water front development will
be taken up. A committee is soon to
be formed which will petition congress
for lump sum to make all the neces-
sary improvements in the Oakland har-
Dor Immediately. At the present rate
it is said that it will be years before
the work is completed, and in the mean
time the great benefits to be derived
from the increased shipping will be
held up.
One OF the active members of the
committed who, is doing much for the
success of the banquet is George E.
Randolph. n
