In submitting my annual report, - re-
quired by law. have deemed 10 proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of the town and
its financial standing at tho present time.
The finances Of the town are In very
healthy condition, considering tho extreme
dullness Of business the past year.

care have been taken by The Committees to
have tho running expenses Of the town %

satisfy the citizens at large.
The water works and everything con-
