In submitting my annual report - re-
quired by law, ] have deemed II proper
that the taxpayers and citizsns should be
Informed Of the condition Of the town and
It's financial standing ct the present time.
The finances Of the town are In very
healthy condition, considering tho extreme
dullness Of business tho past year.
The revenue from the different branches
Of business has been steadily on The DO.
crease the past year. and tho Board oi
Trustees have been governed In expendi-
lures accordingly. Five thousand doliars
Of the town debt have been liquidated.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees 70
have the running expenses OF the town .!
low a they could possibly DO made snd
satisfy tho citizens at largo.
The water works and everything con.
nected with them are In the very best oi
order. The Chief Engineer OF the FIRE
Department has been vory vigilant In look,
ing after the hydrants and MAINS sno
keeping them In good condition.
The streets have been well attended te
and kept In good order.
The officers Of the town have been faitn'
ful and energetic In the discharge OF theii
duties. The police have been vigilant 10
guarding the interests Of tho town and
leepipy away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities Y
practice their nefarious business.
The Fire Department are deserving OF
much praise for the able and efacient man
ner in which they have acquitted them
selves on all occasions when their service!
were required. ! trust the people OF Colo
Hill will continue to have their interests
guarded In the future by - an efhoienl
body Of Aremsn - those who have guarded
them In the past.
In conclusion. would say that oul
duties a. Board Of Town Trustees vii
soon be at an end. The people OF Cole
Hill kre soon 10 have . change Of govern

As Il 10 but An experiment., IL remains Il
be seen what advantages, II any. will b
gained TO the business portion Of the towr

be found necessary BY the incoming I'd
ministratiou to exercise the greatest dis
cretion In the management Of Affairs fol
the coming year.
The revenue from taxable property vii

would give new aspect to Affairs.

Board for the very able manner In which
they have assisted me In the managemen
Of town Affairs. Being compelled BY othel
