In submitting my annual report, - re-
quired by law. I have deemed II proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
Informed Of the condition Of the town and
Its financial standing at the present time.
The finances Of the town are In very
healthy condition, considering the extreme
dullnsss Of business the past year.
The revenue from the different branches
Of business has been steadily on the do

The water works and everything con.

Hill arc soon to have change Of govern.

government. It 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 Il 10 but an experiment. u remains to
be seen what advantages, II any, will be
gained 70 the business portion Of the town
by the change. II will. In my estimation,
