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.
Tho finances Of the town are In very
healthy condition. considering the extreme
dullness Of business the past year.
Tho revenue from the different branches
Of business has been steadily on The dc.
crease the past year, and the Board OF
Trustees have been governed In expendi.
tures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have been liquidated.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees TO
have the running expenses Of the town a.
low as they could possibly be made and
satisfy the citizens st large.
The water works and everything con.
nccted with them are In the very best Of
order. The Chief Engineer Of the Fire
Department has been very vigilsnt In look.
ing after tho hydrants and mains, and
keeping them in good condition.
The streets have been we'll attended to
and kept in good order.
The officers OF the town have been faith
full and energetic in the discharge Of their
duties. Tho police have been vigilant In
guarding tho interests OF the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities to
practice their nefsrious busin,ss.
The Fire Department are deserving OF
much praise for the able and efficient man.
ner In which they have acquitted them.
selves on all occasions when their services
were required. ! trust the people Of Gold
Hill will continue to have their interests
guarded In the future by a. an efficient
body Of firemen a. those who have guarded
them in the past.
In conclusion, I would say that our
duties as Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold
Hill are soon to hAvo . change Of govern

government. It was the opinion Of those
advocating the measure that the interests

having one government instead Of three.
As IL Ia but an experiment. II remains to
be seen what advantages, II any, will be

BY the change. 1t will, In my estimation,
