the final reports Of the outgoing town
officers Of Gold Hill, including that Of
the Finance Committee Of the Board
Of Trustees, the President of the Board
and that of the Town Treasurer. The

the past year, and the yearly Interest
considerably over N half. The pres
emit Indebtedness Of the town is $751;
374 81, and II the new Board elect will
do as we'll as the old Board has done,
they will not leave much Of 1t for their
successors to dispose OF. The report
Of Mr.. Stern, President Of the Board,
will be read with peculiar interest by
all taxpayers and residents. We ex-
tract the following: "OwinH to this
saving In interest we have felt justified
In reducing the taxes from 81 Is to 81
OH the 500 of taxable property. While
we have reduced the Indebtedness Of
the town nearly $1,000, no depart
ment OF the town has been sighted In
the least. The streets, under the su-
pervision Of our most efficient Street
Commissioner, are In splendid
condition. Through our energetic
Fire Commissioner, the reservoir,
pipes. and hydrants are In superb or
Ger. The Fire Depart nent Is we'll
supplied with all the necessary equip
ments In case Of fire. aud 1 believe II Ia
not only our policy, but a duty to the
taxpayers Of the town, to give 1t all
the encouragement necessary TO keep
the Department In as good condition
at least as It Is now. In fact, each and
every department Is In as good a con-
dition. II not better, than they have
been heretofore.
