In submitting my annual report, ~ re-
quired by law, have deemed IL proper
that tho taxpayers and citisens should be
informed Of the condition OF tho town and
It's financial standing at tho present time.
The finances Of tho town are In very
healthy condition, considering the extreme
dullness OF business the psst year.
The revenue from the different branches
Of business has been steadily on the de-

Trustees have been governed In expendi.
lures 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 conld possibly be made and
satisfy the citizens at large.
Tho water works and everything con.
pected with them are In the very best OF
order. The Chief Engineer Of the Fire
Department has been very vigilant In look.
ing after the hydrants and mains, and
keeping them In good condition.
The streets have been well attended to
and kept In good order. go,
The officers Of the town have been faith
ful and energetic in the discharge OF their
duties. The police have been vigilant In
guarding the interests Of the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities TO
practice their nefarious business.
The Fire Department are deserving Of
much praise for the able and efficient man.

dated with the county Of Storey In one
government. II was tho opinion OF those
advocating the measure that the interests
Of all concerned would be furthered BY
having one government instead OF three.
As il is but an experiment, IL remains to
be seen what advantages, II any, will be
gained to the business portion OF the town

the coming year. 49,.
The revenue from taxable property will
be very much less than what Il was last
year, and IL likely to continue decreasing
i unless some Developments In the miues
Iwould give new aspect TO affairs.
| I sincerely thank the members Of the

/ thew have assisted me In the management
Of town Affairs. Being compelled By other

the town and from the meetings Of the
Board, I feel grateful for the indulgent
spirit manifested toward me by the mem

just pride within yourselves that you
have had at al times the best interests OF
the town at heart Ypur lsbors have be:n
