In submitting my annual report, ~ re-
quired BY law. ! have deemed IL proper
that the taxpayers and oitisens should be
informed Of the condition Of the town and
its financial standing at the present time.
Tho finances Of the town are In very
healthy condition, considering the extreme
dullnsss Of business the past year.
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 liquidstsd.
In the different departments the greatest
care havs been taken BY the Committees TO
have tho running expenses Of the town -
low a. they could possibly bs made and
satisfy the citizens 81 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 visilant 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
| 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 nsfarious business.
The Fire Department arc deserving OF
much praise for the abb and efficient man.
nsr In which they have soquitted thsm-
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 - an efficient
body Of nremen a those who have guarded
them In the past.
In conclusion. would say that our
duties a . Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold
| Hill are soon 70 have change Of govern.
ment. the last Legislature disinoorporating
| the town aud 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. It was the opinion Of those
| Advocating the MEASURE that the intareGts
| Of all concerned would DO furthsred BY
having ono government instead Of three.
A. II IL but an experiment, II remains to
be seen what advantages, II any, will be
gained 10 the business portion Of the town
| by the change. It will. In my estimation.
| be found neoessary by the incoming i'd.
| ministration TO exercise the greatest dis
| cretion In tho management Of anairs for
the coming year.
The revenue from taxable property will
be very much less than what Il Was last
year, and 10 likely 70 continue decreasing
unlsss some developments In the mines
would give new aspect 10 Adais.
I sincerely thank the members Of the
Board for the very able manner In which
| thsy have assisted me In the management
Of town sffairs. Being compelled BY other
business 70 absent myself good deal from
he town and from the meetings Of the
Board. I fssl grateful for the indulgsut
spirit manifested toward me BY the mem.
bsrs. In closing your lsbors you can feel
lust pride within yoprsslvss that you
have had st ~ tnss ths beat intsrSetS Of
