In submitting my annual report. a re-
quired BY law. ] have deemed 10 proper
that tho taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of the town and
It's financial standing at tho present time.

Of the town debt have been liquidated.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken BY the Committees to

government. II was the opinion OF those
advocating the measure that the interests
OF all concerned would bs furthered BY
having one government instead OF three.
Al ID 10 but an experiment., 10 remains to
be seen what advantages. II any. will be
gained to the business portion Of tho town
by the change. II will, In my estimation,
be found necessary BY the incoming ad.
