quired by law, ! have deemed u 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 tho town are In . very
healthy condition, cvnsidering the extreme
dullness OF business the past year.
The revenue from the different branches
OF business has been steadily on The de.
crease the past year. and the Board OF

advocating the measure that the interests
Of all concerned would be furthered By
having one government instead Of three.

be seen what advantages, II any. will be
gained to the business portion Of the town
