In submitting my annual report, - re-
ouired by law, ! have deemed Il proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
Informed Of the condition Of the town and
It's 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 70
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.
uected with them are In the very best Of
order. The Chief Engineer Of tho Fire
Department has been very vigilsnt In look.
ing after the hydrsnts and mains, and
keeping them In good condition.
The streets have been we'll attended 70
and kept in good order. .,
The officers Of the town have been faith
ful and energetic In the discharge Of thsir
duties The police have been viyilant IN
guarding the interests OF the town ana
keeping away suspicious characters wno
are always watching for opportunities 70
practice their nefsrious busin.ss.
The Fire Department are deserving OF
much praise for the able and efioient man
psr In which they have acquitted them
selves on all occasions when their services
were required. ] trust the people OF Gold
| Hill will continue 10 have their interests
guarded In the future by % an efficient
body Of Aremen as those who have guarded
them in the past.
In conclusion, would say that our
duties a. Q Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold
Hill are soon 10 have change Of govern.
meut, the last Legislature disincorporating
tho town and passing tho 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 opinion Of those
advocating the measure that the interests
OF all concerned would be furthered By
having one government instead Of three.
A IL 10 but an experiment, II remains 10
be seen what advantages, II any, will be
gained to the business portion Of the town
By the change. It will, In my estimation,
be found necessary by tho incoming I'd.
miuistrstion 10 exercise the greatest dis
cretion In the Management Of Affairs for
the coming year.
The revenue from taxable property will
bs very much less than what 1t Was last
year, and 10 likely to continue decreasing
unless some Developments In the mines
would give new aspect 10 Affairs.

Board for the very able manner In which
they have assisted me in the management
Of town affairs. Being compelled BY other
