In submitting my annual report, - re-
quirsd BY law. ! have deemed IL proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of the 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 past year.
The revenue from the different branches
Of business has been steadily on the dc.
crease the past year. and the Board Of
Trustees have 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 tho running expenses Of the town -
low q they could possibly be made and
satisfy the citizens at large.
Tue water works and everything con.
uected with them are In the very best Of
order. The Chief Engineer Of the Fire
Department has been very vigilant In look.
ing after tho hydrsnts 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.
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 70
practice their nefArious business.
The 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. trust the people OF Gold
Hill will continue to have their interests
guarded In the future by - an efficient
body Of firemen a. those who have guarded
them in the past.
In conclusion, I would say that our
duties as Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold
Hill are soon to have change Of govern.

government. II Was the opinion Of those
savoc.,ipo o. thu rneaafi ra that tha intereata
of all concerned would DO furthered BY
having one government instead Of three.
As IL 10 but an experiment. IL remains to
be seen what advantages, II any, will DO

BY tho change. 1t will. in my estimation.
be found necessary by the incoming I'd.
ministratiou TO exercise tho greatest dis
erection In the management Of Affairs for
tho coming year. -
The revenue from taxable property will
be very much less than what It WAS last
year, and 10 likely TO continue decreasing
unless some Developments In the mines
would give new aspect 70 Afairs.
I 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 70 absent myself good deal from
the town and from the meetings Of the
Board. I feel grateful for the indulgent
spirit manifested toward me BY the msm-

lost pride within yourselves that you

The town q heart Your lsbors have ben
