In submitting my annual report. - re-
quired by law. have deemed 10 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 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-
lures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have been liquidated.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees to
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.
pected with them are In the very best oil
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 well attended to
and kept in good order.
The officers Of the town have been faith
full and energetic in the discharge Of their
duties. Tho police have been vigilant In
guarding the interests Of the town and
keeping away suspicious charaeters who
are always watching.for opportunities to
practice their nefarious business.
The Fire Department are deserving oi
much praise for the able and efficient man.
nsr In which they have acquitted them
selves on all occasions when their services
we're required. ! trust the people Of Gold
Hill will continue TO have their interests
guarded In the future BY - an efficient
body Of firemen a those who have guarded
them in the past.
In conclusion, I would say that oul
duties a. q Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold
Hill arc soon to have change Of govern
ment. the last Legislature disincorporatine
the town and passing the Consolidation
bill, by which the city Of Virginia and th.
town Of Gold Hill have been consoli
dated with the county Of Storey In ont
government. II was the opinion Of thost
advocating the measure that the interests
Of all concerned would be furthered By
having one government instead OF three
As il 10 but an experiment., 10 remains tc
be seen what advantages. II any. will bt
gained to the business portion OF the towr
by the change. II will, In my estimation
be found necessary BY the incoming ad
ministration to exercise the greatest dis
cretion in the management OF Affairs fol
the coming year. -,
The revenue from taxable property viii
be very much less than what II was las
year, and 10 likely to continue decreasing
unless some developments in the nine'
would give new aspect to Affairs.
l sincerely thank the members OF th,
Board for the very able manner In which
they have assisted ne In the Management
Of town afsiis. Being compelled BY othe'
business to absent myself good deal from
the town and from the meetings OF tn
Board. feel grateful for the indulgen
spirit manifested toward me BY the mem
bers. In closing your labors you can Zee
q Just pride within yourselves that yo'
have had at all times the best interests o
the town at heart Your labors have beeI
srduous and without compensation, onl.
such a. you must all feel within yoursslve
that gratifying reminder that - publ
servants you have performed the dutie
incumbent upon you and have prove'
Yourselves deserving the confidence Of tn
neonis Of Gold Hill. L. T. Fox.
President Of the Board Of Trustees.
