In submitting my annual report, - re-
quired by Law, I havo deemed 10 proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of tho town and
ito financial standing at tho present time.
The finances OF the town are 10 very
healthy condition, considering the extreme
dullness Of business the past year.
The revenue from tho different branches
Of business has been steadily on The de.
crease the past year. and the Board OF
Trustees have been governed in expendi.
lures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have been liquidated.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by tho Committees to
have the running expenses OF tho town a
low as thoy could possibly DO made and
satisfy tho citizens at large.
The water works and everything CON.
nected with them are in the very best OF
order. Tho Chief Engineer OF the Fire
Department has been very vigilant In look.
ing aiter 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 the town have been faith.
/ iul 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 70
practice their nefarious business.
The Fire Department are deserving OF
much praise for the able and efficient man-
nsr 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 fremsn a. those who have guarded
them in the past.
In conclusion, I would say that our
duties ~ . Board OF Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold
Hill are soon TO have change OF govern.

dated with the county Of Storey in one
government. II was the opiniou Of those
Advocating the measure that the interests
Of all concerned would be furthercd By
having one government instesd OF three.
Al II 10 but an experiment, IL remains to
be seen what advantages, II any, will be
gained to the business portion Of the town
by the change. II will, In my estimation.
be found necessary by the incoming sd.
ministration 10 exercise the greatest dis.
cretion In the management Of Affairs for
the coming year. -.
Tho revenue from taxable property will
be very much less than what IL was last
year, and 10 likely to continue decreasing
unless some developments In the mines
would give new aspect 10 Affairs.
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 10 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.
