Excerpt from Molen Database (https://www.molendatabase.org/molendb.php?step=details&nummer=1230)
In 1838 miller Hermanus Hoefsmit submitted a request to the council to be allowed to grind with just one pair of stone rye in addition to grinding run and peeling rice. The council rejected his request. In 1843 he again applied for permission to grind malt and unloaded grain. This time he was successful; his request was granted. In 1845 his son Johannes started the construction of Flour Mill De Hoop on the Houtenseweg.
The 1860 Chamber of Commerce annual report stated that the run gallery was doing well. In the province, bark was only ground on a mill in Amersfoort, Utrecht and Wijk bij Duurstede. Elsewhere in the country this took place on the flour mills. In 1862 the Chamber announced that there were two types of bark that supplied a different product. The bark of the field-milled wood, which was eight to ten years old, yielded eek exclusively intended for tannery. The eek was harvested in the months of May, June and July. Entire families went into the forest to beat bark. In order not to have to stoop to work, people stood in a pit. The bark was knocked off the logs on a wooden block. Hollow pipes of approximately 30 cm in length were obtained. The miller chopped pieces of about 4 cm from this, which were ground. During this grinding, he always had to ensure a sufficient supply of bark to the stones with a stick. This was an extremely dusty work, in which he was dusted completely brown.
The bark of oak trees with an age of 25 years and older provided the taan, intended for the tines for preserving fishing nets and sails, among other things. It was said that taan was almost completely pushed out of the market by the caochou.
In 1861, in anticipation of the definitive end of the lease with Hoefsmit, Gijsbers made a new attempt to obtain the mill for rent. The council appointed a committee to provide advice on this. Although the contract provided nothing for this, Johannes Hoefsmit requested an extension of the lease in early 1862.
From the above detailed statement of the facts it can be understood that the council did not feel much in favour of re-entering into the contract with Hoefsmit, despite the fact that he wanted to increase the rent to NLG 550. His request was rejected. The committee had discussions with Gijsbers, who clarified his request. The result was that an extra amount was calculated in the annual rent, so that the municipality would receive the amount of NLG 1,625 to be paid to Hoefsmit. The mill was privately rented to Gijsbers, initially for 21 years, later extended for an indefinite number of years.
