In submitting my annual report, "a re-
ouired by law, I have deemed IL proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of the town and
its financial standing at tho present time.
Tho finances OF the town arc Ia q very
healthy condition, considering tho extreme
dullness OF business tho past year.
The revenue from the different branches
OF business has been steadily on the do
crease the past year, and tho Board OF
Trustees have been governed In expendi.
lures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have been liquidatcd.
In tho different departments the greatest
caro- have been taken by the Committees TO
have the running expenses OF tho town as
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. The Chief Engineer OF the Fire
Department has been very vigilant In look.
ing after the hydrants and mains, and
keeping them In good condition.
The streets have been we'll attended to
and kept In good order.
The officers OF tho town have been faith.
ful and energetic In the discharge OF their
duties, The police have been vigilant In
guarding the interests Of the town and
keeping away suspicious Characters who
are always watching for opportunities to
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. trust the people of Gold
Hill will continue to have their interests
guarded In the future by a. an efficient
body Of fremen a. those who have guarded
them in the past.
In conclusion, would say that our
duties a. Q Board Of Town Trustees will
soon bo at an end. The people Of Gold
Hill are soon to have change OF govern.
ment, tho last Legislature disincorporating
the town and passing the Consolidation
bill, by which the city Of Virginia and the
town Of Gold Hill have been consoli-
dated with the county Of Storey In one
government. II was the opinion Of those
advocating the measure that the interests
Of all concerned would be furthered BY
having one government instead Of three.
Az Il is but an experiment. u remains to
be seen what advantages, II any, will be
gained 10 tho business portion OF tho town
by the change. It will, In my estimation,
| be found necessary by the incoming i'd.
ministration to exercise the greatest dis
erection In tho management Of affairs for
the coming year. 49,,
The revenue from taxable property will
| be very much less than what II was last
year, and 10 likely to continue decreasing
unless some developments In the mines
would give new aspect to ahairs.
I sincerely thank the members OF tho
Board for. the very able manner in which
| they have assisted me In the management
| Of town affairs. Being compelled BY other
business 70 alsent 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 mem
bers. In closing your labors you can feel
q Just pride within yourselves that you
have had at al times the best interests OF
The town st heart. Your lsbors have BEEN
srduous and without compensation, only
