A flouring mill on the North Loup was now in contemplation, and S. J. Bories agreed to build one if the county would vote and give to him $12,000.00 in bonds. Therefore an election was called on March 31, 1874, for the purpose, and the bond proposition carried by twenty-three votes to twelve votes against.

May 31, 1874

The County Commissioners met and refused to issue bonds and enter into contract with S. J. Bories for the building of the proposed mill, for the reason that the Supreme Court of the State had just decided mill-bonds voted by a county to be illegal.
