In submitting my annual report. - re-
ouired BY law, have deemed IL proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should DO
informed Of the condition Of the town and
its financial standing ct the present time.
The finances OF tho town are Ia 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 do
crease the 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 havs been taken by the Committees 10
have the running expenses OF the town -
low a they could possibly be made and
satisfy the citizens at largo.
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 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
ful and energetic in the discharge Of their
duties. Tho 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 neiarious business.
The Fire Department are deserving OF
much praise for the able and efficient man.

selves on all occasions when their services
were required. trust tho people Of Gold
Hill will continue 10 have their interests
guarded In the future by - an efficient
body Of Aremen a. those who have guarded
them In the past.
In conclusion, I would say that our
dutles ss q Board OF Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold
Hill are soon to have . change OF govern.

town Of Gold Hill have been consoli.
dated with the county Of Storey In one
government. II Was the opinion Of those
advocating the measure that the interests
Of all concerned would bs furthered BY
having one government instead Of three.
Az Il 10 but an experiment., IL remains 70
be seen what advantages, II any, will be
gained 10 the business portion Of the town
by the change. Il will, In my estimation,
BE- found necessary by the incoming I'D.
ministration 70 exercise the greatest dis

the coming year.
The revenue from taxable property will

would give new aspect 70 afairs.
I sincerely thank the members Of the
Board for the very able manner In which
they have assisted me In the management

the town and from the meetings Of the
Board, I feel grateful for tie indulgent
