Dillon to Build Flour Mill Amid Local Talks
Dillon will gain a flour mill after millman R F L Dodds spent weeks consulting local business leaders. He plans a 75 barrel capacity mill financed by royal financiers, abandoning an earlier 200 barrel plan and failing to secure terms with Lews Buege of the new elevator. The project now appears assured though delays may occur over summer. A local businessman notes the initial excitement has given way to pragmatic steps, with Dodds considered the likely builder.
