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.
On
May 31, 1874, the County Commissioners
met and refused to issue bonds and enter
into
contract with S. J. Bories for the building

mill-bonds voted by a county to be illegal.
