Whereas by examining the account of the honorable Company’s windmill it is found that it does not bring profit to the honorable Company, because the grinding money it yielded during the last years could not make up the miller’s monthly pay, much less the costs of repairs; it is resolved to try out next Saturday whether it could be farmed out publicly to the highest bidder. Dated as above.
