(From Ann Arbor Daily News)
Options on water rights on the Sa-
lineftriver |ind adjacent property including the historic Schuyler Mills
are \eingfobtainea". by Henry Ford.
Detroit antomobile magnate, it was
learneXysaturday, and the options
are expected to be exercised within
a week,
A representative of the Ford interests has been negotiating with owners of property along the river, and
Mr, Ford has also visited the location. The river rights probably
would necessitate the purchase of
about 15 acres.
The Saline mill is one of the landmarks in. the vicinity, and' is located
in what is commonly referred to as
Barnegat. It was built about 1845
by Schuyler Haywood, a native of
Barnegat, N. J., from which this section of Saline received, the nickname.
Mr. Haywood found a sufficient
supply of running water for his purposes and when first built, the mill
was run by what is known as a
"brgast wheel." This wheel was
about 18 feet long *and 1£ feet in
diameter, and 18 yoke of cattle were
required to -bring the shaft, (which
was three feet thick.) about one
mile. . . . • >'
After operating the mill for about
10 years, Mr. Haywood) sold it to
Jacob Sherman who two years later
disposed of it to John A. Klein, the
mill remaining in the Klein family
until eight years ago when it was
sold: to Joseph Schmid, the (present
owiner, with whom Mr. Ford .is negotiating. ..; ,.-.'•
Under the supervisio'n of Mr. Haywood, the mill was used to the best
advantage and turned out an average of 25 barrels of flour per day,
exclusive of custom work, which at
that time was estimated at $20,000
yearly. After Mr. Klein acquired the
mill, only a fair amount of custom
work was undertaken but three
grades of flour had a large market
in Ann Arbor and Detroit. Three
sets af burrs are used in the mill,
two for flour and one for corn.
The mill wias operated' until about
10 years ago, and during the ownership of Mr. Klein new machinery was
installed which still is in good *:oii-
d'ition. The mill was operated entirely by: waterpower.
Ths mill is a three story structure
with a basement, and stands at ihe
point where the old Chicago turnpike
crossed the Saline river.
A sawmill nearby with an upright
saw also is included in the property
cwned by Mr. ISchmid ana included
in that upon which Mr. Ford has an
option.

Mr. Haywood found a sufficient supply of running water for his purposes and when first built, the mill was run by what is known as a "brgast wheel." This wheel was about 18 feet long *and 1£ feet in diameter, and 18 yoke of cattle were required to -bring the shaft, (which was three feet thick.) about one mile. . . . • >' After operating the mill for about 10 years, Mr. Haywood) sold it to Jacob Sherman who two years later disposed of it to John A. Klein, the mill remaining in the Klein family until eight years ago when it was sold: to Joseph Schmid, the (present owiner, with whom Mr. Ford .is negotiating. ..; ,.-.'• Under the supervisio'n of Mr. Haywood, the mill was used to the best advantage and turned out an average of 25 barrels of flour per day, exclusive of custom work, which at that time was estimated at $20,000 yearly. After Mr. Klein acquired the mill, only a fair amount of custom work was undertaken but three grades of flour had a large market in Ann Arbor and Detroit. Three sets af burrs are used in the mill, two for flour and one for corn. The mill wias operated' until about 10 years ago, and during the ownership of Mr. Klein new machinery was installed which still is in good *:oii- d'ition. The mill was operated entirely by: waterpower. Ths mill is a three story structure with a basement, and stands at ihe point where the old Chicago turnpike crossed the Saline river. A sawmill nearby with an upright saw also is included in the property cwned by Mr. ISchmid ana included in that upon which Mr. Ford has an option. 4-H Club Members, k TftWnopnf] fluk Parents At Banquet A lWWUbCIiU UUU Is Organized Here /Legionaires Stage A Rotary Club Enjoys New Year Party Boy Scout Program Kiwanis Sponsored Affair Well Carried Out; ;Some of the Honored Ones.
