In submitting my annual report. - 70.
quired by law, have deemed 10 proper
that the taxpayers and oitizens 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
dullness Of business the past year.
The revenue from the different branches
Of business has been steadily on tho do
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 liquidsted.
In the different departments the greatest
care hsvs been taken BY the Committees TO
have the running expenses Of the town -
low q they could possibly bs made and
satisfy the citizens st large.
The water works and everything oon.
nected with them are In the very best Of
order. The Chief Engineer Of the Fire
Department has been very vigilsnt In look.
ing after the hydrants and mains, and
keeping them In good condition.
The streets have been well attended 70
and kept In good order.
The officers Of the town have bsen faith.
ful and energetic In the discharge Of their
duties. The polloo have been vigilaut In
guarding the interests Of the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities 70
practice thsir nefarious business.
The Fire Department are deserving Of
much praise for the able and efficient man.
nsr In which they have soquitted them
selves on sll occasions when their services
we're required. I trust the people Of Gold
Hill will continue 10 have their interests
guarded In the future BY ~ an s6ieient
body Of hremeu - those who have guarded
them In the past.
In eonolusion. would say that our
duties a. Q Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at IN end. The people Of Gold
Hill arc soon 70 have change Of govern.

government. II was the opinion OF those
advocating the measurs that the intsrests
Of all concerned would b furthsred By
having one govsrnmsnt instssd Of three.

ministrstion 10 exercise the greatest dis
oretion In the msnagemsnt OF Affairs for
tbs coming year.
The revenue from taxsbls property will
be very much less than what II was last
year, and u likely 70 continue dsorsasing
unless some dsvslopments IN the mines
would give new aspect 70 a6airs.
