In submitting my annual report. - re-
auired 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 ut 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 the de-
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 have been taken BY the Committees TO
have the running expenses Of the town -
low a. they could possibly be made and
satisfy the citizens at large.
The water works and everything con.
uected with them are In tho very best Of
order. The Chief Engineer Of the Fire
Department has been very vigilant In look.
ing after tho 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 been faith.
full and energetic In the discharge Of their
duties. The police have been vigilant IN
guarding the interests OF the town and

them in the past.
In conclusion. I would say that our

soon be at an end. The people Of Gold

town Of Gold Hill have been consoli.
dated with the county OF Storey In one
government. It Was the oplnion Of those
advocating the measure that the interests
Of all concerned would be furthered BY
having one government Instead Of three.
Al Il is but an experiment, II remains to
be seen what advantages, II any. will be
gained to the business portion Of the town
by the change. It will. In my estimation,

The revenue from taxable property will

I sincerely thank the members Of the
Board for the very able manner In which
they have assisted mo In the management
