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
iu financial standing at the present time.
The finances Of the town are In Q very
healthy condition. considering the extreme
dullness Of business the past year.
The revenue from the different branches
Of business has boon steadily on The de-
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 tsken BY the Committees 70
have tho running expenses Of the town 40
low % thoy could possibly bs made and
satisfy the citizens st large.
Tho water works and everything con.
nected with them are IN the very beat 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.
The oficers OF the town have been faith
fol and energetic In the discharge Of their
duties. The police have been viyilant In
guarding the interests Of the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities 10
practice their neiarious business.
The Fire Department are deserving Of
much praise for the able and eficient man.
nsr In which they have scquitted them'
selves on all occasions when their services
wore required. ! trust the people Gold
Hill will continue TO have their interests
guarded In the future BY - an sfacient
body Of frsmen - those who have guarded
them in the past.
In conclusion. would say that our
duties a . Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold
