Brewers Seek State Incorporations Amid Dry Law Clash
Brewers press their case before the House Ways and Means Committee. Pre prohibition output stood at 100 million barrels annually, now reduced to 30 000 to 40 000 barrels of near beer. Several applicants in Lansing for brewing company incorporation papers were denied due to conflicts with existing dry laws that stay in force despite repeal of the state constitution's dry clause.
