In submitting my annual report, - re-
quired by law, ! have deemed IL proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of the town and
its financial standing at the present time.
The finances OF tho town are In very
healthy condition. cunsidering the extreme
dullness Of business the past year.
Tho revenue from tho different branches
Of business has been steadily on The de-
crease tho 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 the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees 10
have the 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-
nected with them are In the very best Of
order. Tho 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 the town have been faith
ful and energetic In the discharge OF their
duties. The police have been vigilant 10
guarding tho interests OF the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities TO
practice their nefsrious busintss.
The Fire Department are deserving OF
much praise for the able and eficient man.
ner In which they have acquitted them
selves on oil occasions when their services
were required. I trust the people OF Gold
| Hill will continue to have their interests
guarded In the future by as an efacisnt
body OF fremen a. those who have guarded
them In the past.
In conclusion. ! would. say that our
duties a. . Board Of Town Trustees will
soon bs st an end. The people Of Gold
Hill are soon to'have change Of govern.
ment, the last Legislature disiucorporsting
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 oplniou Of those
advocating the measure that the interests
Of all concerned would be furthered BY
having one government instead Of three.
As II 10 but an experiment, II remains to
be seen what advantages, II any, will be
gained 70 the business portion Of the town
BY the change. It will, In my estimation.
be found necessary BY the incoming sd'
ministration 70 exercise the greatest dis
cretion In the management Of Affairs for
the coming year.
The revenue from taxable property will
be very much less than what II was last
year, and 10 likely 70 continue deoreasins
unless some Developments In the mines
would give new aspect 70 Affairs.
I sincerely thank the members Of the
Board for tho 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 maniiestsd toward me by the Nom.

4 Inst pride within yourselves that you

tbe town at heart. Your lsbors have bser
