In submitting my annual report, - 70.
quired by law, ! have deemed 10 proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of tho condition Of the town and
Its financial standing at tho present time.
The finances OF the town are In Q very
healthy condition, considering the extreme
dullness Of business tho past year.
The revenue from the different branches
OF business has been steadily on the de.
crease the past year. and the Board Of
Trustees have been governed In oxpendi'
lures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have bcen liquidated.
In the different departments tho greatest
care have been taken by the Committees to
have the running expenses Of the town as
low as they could possibly be made and
satisfy the citizens Ut large.
The water works and everything con.
nected with them are In tho very best Of
order. Tho Chief Engineer Of the Fire
Department has been very vigilant 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

duties. The police have been vigilant In
guarding the interests Of the town and

dated With the county Of Storey In one
government. II was the opinion Of those
advocating the measure that the interests
Of all concerned would be furthered BY
having one government instead Of three.
Al 1t 10 but an experiment, IL remains to
be seen what advantages, II any. will be
gained to the business portion OF the town
BY tho change. II will, In my estimation.
be found necessary by the incoming ad.
ministration to exercise the greatest dis
cretion In the Management Of Affairs for
the coming year.
The revenue from taxable property will
be very much less than what Il was last
year, and 10 likely to continue decreasing
unless some developments In the mines
| would give new aspect 70 affairs.
! sincerely thank the members OF the
Board for the very able manner In which
they have assisted me In the management
Of town Affairs. Being compelled BY other
business TO absent myself good deal from
the town and from tho meetings Of the
Board. I feel grateful for the indulgent
spirit manifested toward ms BY the mem.

Just pride within yourselves that you
have had at al times the best interests Of
The town at heart. Your labors have bssu
arduoua and without compensation, only
