In submitting my annual report. IS re-
quired By Law. I have deemed II proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of the town and
it, financial standing ct the present time.
The finances Of the town are In Q healthy
condition. considering the dullness Of BUSH
ness the past year, sThe revenue from the
different branchs6 OF business has consid-
erably decreased. and were 10 not for the
curtailment OF the running expenses Of
the town In tho beginning Of the year. and
the strictest economy on the part Of the
Town Trustees. the town debt would have
been increased instead Of lessened.
The water works and everything con-
nectsd with them IL In excellent condi-
ton. The hydrants and mains have been
kept In the best working order.
The streets are all In good repair. and
have been kept so with very little expense
10 the town. The sewers are all In good
order. Az the cost Of new ewers and re-
pairs on old ones Is always very heavy. the
Board have not done any work upon such
only where there was extreme necessity.
The officers Of the town have been faith
full and energetic In the discharge Of their
duties. The police force, though small.
has done much In keeping OF that element
which 10 20 much annoyance to every
community. Dangerous and suspicious
characters have had but little opportunity
70 prowl around in our midst, and our
people have much reasoh to DO thankful
that their interests are 20 well guarded BY
such Al efficient police force.
The Fire Companies. TO whom 10 in
trusted the safety Of our property from
Ore, deserve some notice at this time /:
Their activity and efficiency at all times
when their services were needed has been
In keeping with their past record. and i
might safely say that nc volunteer fire
department on the coast car surpass ours
for promptness and activity.
In conclusion, I will state that I sim
ccrely thank the members Of the Board.
q and all, for the very able manne In
which they have at all times assisted me
In the management Of town Affairs. That
unity and good will which has existed
among them, together with . strong desire
70 serve the best interests Of the town. has
made my position as President Of the
Board most agreeable. A . new Board Of
Trustees will soon commence their labors.
] feel 10 my duty TO call THAR attention TO
the economy which has been practiced by
the retiring Board Of Trustees, a. the
prospects are that the revenues from taxa
bic property, owing 10 the extreme dull
ness Of the times will be much less than
they have been the last year. Very respect
fully. L. T. Fox,
President Of the Board Of Trustees Of
the Town Of Gold Hill.
