In submitting my annual report, ~ rs-
quired by law. havo deemed IL proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of the town and
Its financial standing st the present time.
The finances Of the town are In . very
healthy condition. considering the extreme
dullness Of business the 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 havs been governed In expendi.
lures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have been liquidsted.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees to
have the running expenses OF the town 10
low a. they could possibly be made and
satisfy the citizens at large.
The water works and everything con.
nected with them are in the very best Of
order. Tho Chief Engineer Of the Fire
Department has been very vigilant In look.
ing after the hydrants and mains, and
keeping them In good condition.
Tho streets have been we'll attended TO
and kept In good order.
The officers OF the town have been faith
ful 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 70
practice their nefarious business.
Tho Fire Department arc deserving OF
much praise for the able and efficient man
ner in which they have acquitted them.
selves on all occasions when their services
were required. I trust the people OF Gold
Hill will continue TO have their interests
guarded in the future by ~ an efficient
body Of Hremen a. those who have guarded
them In tho past.
In conclusion, would say that our
duties "a . Board OF Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold

government. 1t was the opinion Of those
advocating the measure that the interests
i Of all concerned would be furthered by
having one government instead Of three.
As IL IL but an experiment, II remains to
be seen what advantages, II any, will be
gained 70 the business portion OF the town
BY the change. It will, In my estimation.
be found necessary BY the incoming I'd.
ministration 70 exercise the greatest die.

the coming year.
Tho 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 10 Affairs.
! sincerely thank the members Of the
/ Board for the very able manner In which
they have assisted me In the management

the town and from the meetings Of the
Board, ! feel grateful for the indulgeut
