Marie. The loss is about $250,000, fully covered by insurance. The plants were built in 1890, and included a sash, door and blind factory, box factory and planing mill. As the Hall & Munson plants were the sole activity of the town, Bay Mills has now practically ceased to exist, and the 1,200 people wil be obliged to seek other fields. ===========================================================================
