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.
Tho finances Of the town arc In . very
healthy condition, considering the extreme
dullness Of business the past year.
Tho revenue from tho different branches
Of business has been steadily on the de.
crease the past year. and tho Board OF
Trustees have been governed In oxpendi.
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 DO mado and
satisfy the citizens ct large.
The water works and everything con-
nected with them are In tho very best OF
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 70
and kept In good order.
The officers OF the town have been faith.
ful and energetic In tho discharge Of their
duties. The police have been viyilant In
guarding the interests OF the town and
Keeping away suspicious characters iho
arc always watching for opportunities TO
practice their nefarious busintss.
The Fire Department are deserving Of
much praise for tho ablo and efficient man.
ner In which they have acquitted them.
solves on all occasions when their services
were required. trust tho people OF Gold
Hill will continue TO have their interests
guarded In the future by - an efficient
body OF lremon - 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 to have change OF govern
ment, the last Legislature disincorporating
the town and passing tho Consolidation
bill, by which the city Of Virginia and the
town OF Gold Hill havo been consoli.
dated with the county Of Storey In one
government. II was the opiuion Of those
advocating the measure that the interests
Of all concerned would DO furthered by
having one government instead Of three.
A. IL 10 but an experiment, 10 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 ad.
ministratiou to exercise the greatest dis
erection In the management Of Affairs for
the coming year. -.
The 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 to Affairs.
I 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 TO absent myself good deal from
the town and from the meetings Of tho
| Board. ! feel grateful for the indulgent
spirit manifested toward me BY the mem.
bers. In closing your labors you can feel
lost pride within yourselves that you
have had st al times the best interests OF
ths town at heart. Your lsbors have bseu
srduous and without compensation, only
