D|ST|LLERY FIRE
RESULTS IN FIJI
INVESTIGATION

Fire of unknown origin destroyed a
unit of the Trenton valley Distillers
Corporation plant in Trenton, early
Tuesday morning. Damage has been
estimated at $2OO,OO0. Besides contain
ing machinery vital to the processing
of alcohol, the building was used fOr
the storage of IS automobiles.
production will be cut OF complete
~ as a result of the fire. 1t may take
IA long time to restore production un'
less we get high priority rating,
said Clark BOeckltr, parter OI
BOeckler Associates, which has leased
the plant for the duration OF the war
The Federal Bureau of Investlga-
ton is investigating the possibility OF
sabotage in connection with the fire.
DistillatiOn of ethyl alcohol in the
plant of Trenton Valley DiStillers Cor
pOration, at Trenton, began Sept. l.,
following five-year shutdown due To
lack of working capital.
Initial output will be 3,OOO,OOO gal
Ions and by the early part Of 1913 1t
was expected to INCREASE to between D.
100000 and 6,OOO,OOO gallons. Alcohol
made in the plant was to be used In the
manufacture Of SmOkeleSs powder
synthetic rubber, and for various III
dustrial uses in this area.
Renewal Of operations i'll the Tren-
ton Valley Distillery, which is one OF
the largest and most modern in the
country, climaxeS five-year endeavOT
by the present management to place
the company back on Il sound financial
footing, according to Glenn ID. Curtis
president
The company never went into re-
ownership, he says, but it has been
plagued by lack of working capital al
most from the day it started to make
whisky Refinancing has been greatly
retarded by indictments returned in
1899 against the former president and
former vice president, charging ir-
regularities in connection with sale OF
the cOmpany'S stock. Both men jumped
their bond and neither has been
brought to trial, he states.
Money to make possible the present
re-Opening of the distillery has been
made available by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation and BOeckeleI
Associates, each of which has advanc-
ed $1JO,OOO. The RFC advance is In
the form of a first mortgage on the
cOmpany'S assets. Ninety thousand dol
lars has been used to pay all back
taxes and most of the cOmpany'S other
obligations, Curtis states. The $6O,OO
balance has been used to rehabilitate
the property after its five years OF
idleneSS and for improvements.
When the corporation was formed
it had fully paid-in capitalization OF
81 100000, represented by like mum
Der Of 81 par common shares. All but
approximately 100000 of this money
was spent in building an ultra modern
whisky distilling plant, leaving the
company with u serious shortage OF
working capital with which to start
business.
DIR. William J. Hale, noted research
| chemist of the Dow Chemical Com.
pany recently became a director. Off.
GERS in addition to Curtis are Nathan.

Fl. DeBOard, treasurer; and Gordon

Unless the Supreme Cot t rules
otherwise, the amount of sc DOL aid
distributed to WyandOtte eight
ether cities of the state by tn, Depart
ment of Public Instruction, will re-
ceive another cut for 1912 ID 1913
In 1871 WyandOtte received $3.50 900
from the state. Due to the p .pOnder-
ance Of the farmer village d small
city representation in the las Legisla-
ture, the school aid bill apr priating
So, 500 900 more than the bill perating
in 1871 cut WyandOtte's apr priation
$2S,OO0. Several other cities, leluding
Detroit, were severely cut wasxse rural,
village and small city school, Tt-state
were boosted in their apRprf 3nments.
The law Of the last Leg4sk ure pro-
vided "tffn no school distrE : having

be allotted annually during he bien-
MUM ending JusA 80, 1915, .ess than
80 per cent OF the actual 4 mount, il

year 19401941." The superinI Ndent Of
public instruction acting Vder the
advice of the state attOrns> general
made a distribution OF sta aid as
they interpreted the law. bis gave
WyandOtte $211 900 this pas year.
Last week the city of .trOit in
stituted a suit of mandam s in the
Supreme Court against th auditor
general and the superintendf of pub
lie instruction alleging that hey have
distributed this money cOEIrary to
the provisions of the act. 7 1ey claim
- fc - nd q
floor mot less than IS per6ent). I'm
der such an Interpretation Wyandotte
and eight other cities would not. re-
ceive any tuition for nonresident high
school students as such for @hich 9th
er districts in the state receive Up TO
500 each.
The actual amount Of meney which
Detroit claims has been 0Serpaid to
the several cities for the two years,
1912 and 1913, is Alpens $4,000 ;
Ann Arbor, $4,000; East 6 and Rap
ids, $500; FOrdsOn, $5Os D.; Ham
tramck, $1,24O; Monroe, 81 600; Ne
gauiee, $500; Trenton, s. 1000, and
Wyandotte, $500. In a. ditiOn to
these amounts there would le further
losses due to the applicable Of de-
ductible mileage factor. If city has
high assessed valuation q relation
to the actual value they sue most at
the expense of districts with low val
nations.
If the court decides thafsfhese cities
cannot ,be reimbursed for tuition in
addition to the 50 per g Mt it will
mean that hundreds OF. 1 nonresident
students will be dropped ON school
unless their tuition is aSumed by
their districts or paid per 'nally.
The Board of Educ ion at its
meeting Monday evening q. ,ected that
