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
its financial standing at the present time.
The finances Of the town are in . healthy
condition, considering the dullness Of bust.
ness the past year. The revenue from the
different branches Of business has consid.
erably decreased. and were IL not for the
curtailment OF the running expenses Of
the town in the 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-
nected with them Is in excellent condi-
ton. The hydrants and mains have been
kept in the beat working order.
The streets are all in good repair, an d
have been kept 90 with very little expense
TO the town. Tho sewers are all In good
order. A tho cost Of new sewers INT re-
pairs on old onss Il always very heavy. the
board have not done any work upon such
only where there wss extreme necessity..
The oacsrs Of the town have been faith.
full and energetic In the discharge OF their
duua. The police forcs. though small,
has done much In keeping oi that element
which u 90. much annoyance to every
community. Dangerous and suspicious
characters have bad but little opportunity
70 prowl around In our midst. and our
people have much reason to DO thankful
thar THAR interests are . o well guarded By
such an efficient police force.
The Fire Companies. 70 whom 10 In.
trusted the safety Of o property from
fre. 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 no volunteer hre
department on the coast can surpass =
for promptness and activity.
In conclusion, ! will state that I sin.
cerely thank the members OF the Board.
one and all, for the very able manner In
which they have at ell times assisted mo
In the management Of town Affairs. That
unity and good will which has existed
among them. together with . strong desire
10 serve the best interests Of the town. has
made my position a. President Of the
Board most agreeable. Al . new Board OF
Trustees will soon commence their labors.
I feel IL my duty 10 call their 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 TO the extreme dull.
ness Of the times will be much less than
they have been the last year. Very respect.
fully. L. 7. Fox.
President Of the Board Of Trustees Of
the Town Of Gold Hill.
