In submitting my annual report, as re-
quired by law, ! have deemed 10 proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed of the condition Of the town and
Its financial standing at tho present time.
The finances Of the town afe In very
healthy condition. considering tho extreme
dullness OF business the past year.
The revenue from the different branches
Of business has been steadily on the 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 liquidated.
In the different departments tho greatest
care have been taken by the Committees to
have tho running expenses OF the town a
low a. they could possibly be made and
satisfy the citizens at large.
The water works and everything con.
uected with them arc In the very best oi
order. The Chief Engineer OF tho 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 officers OF the town have been faith
full and energetic In tho discharge OF their
duties. Tho police have been vigilant In
guarding tho interests Of the town and
Keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities 10
practice their neisrious business.
The Fire Department are deserving oi
much praise for the able and efficient man.

selves on all occasions when their services
wero required. trust the people OF Gold
Hill will continue TO have their interests
guarded In the future by ss an efficient
body Of frcmen a. those who have guarded
them In the past.
In conclusion, would say that our
duties as Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold

be seen what advantages, II any, will be
gained to the business portion Of the town
by the change. Il will, In my estimation.

ministration to exercise the greatest dis.
cretion In the management Of Affairs for
the coming year. :.
The revenue from tsxabls property will
be very much less than what II was last
year, and 10 likely 70 continue decreasine
unless some developments In the mines
would give new aspect 70 Affairs.
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 TO absent myself good deal from
the town and from the meetings Of the
Board, I feel grateful for the indulgeni
spirit manifested toward me BY the mem.
