In submitting my annual report, - re-
quired by law, have deemed IL proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of the town and
its financial standing st the present time.
The finances Of the town are in . very
healthy condition, considering the extreme
dullness OF business the past year.
The revenue from the different branches
Of business has been steadily on The de-

Of the town debt have been liquidated.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees TO

satisfy the citizens at large.
Tho water works and everything con.
nected with them are In the very best Of
order. The Chief Engineer Of the Fire
Department has been very vigilaut In look.

keeping them In good condition.
The streets have been we'll attended TO

The officers Of the town have been faith.

duties. The police have been viyilant In
guarding the interests OF the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities to
