Michigan Supreme Court February 27, 1920, Docket No. 61 (Carland v. United Engineering Co.)

Sharpe, J.

The defendant sugar company operates a plant at the village of Blissfield, in Lenawee county, for the manufacture of beet sugar. Among its waste products was a liquid known as Steffens water. This it was compelled to store at some expense, as it developed an offensive odor and could not be run into the river.
