In submitting my annual report, - re-
quired by law. I 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 10 very
healthy condition. cunsidering 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 liquidassd.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken BY the Committees to
have the running expenses Of the town a
low ss they could possibly be made and
satisfy the citizens at large.
The water works and everything con.
uectsd with them are In the very best oi
order. Tho Chief Engineer Of the Fire
Department has been very vigilant In look.
ing after tho hydrants and mains. and
keeping them In good condition.
The streets have been we'll attended to
and kep In good order.
The officers OF the town have been faith
ful and energetic In the discharge Of theil
duties. The police have been vigilsnt In
guarding the interests Of the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities "a
practice their nefarious business.
The Fire Department are deserving oi
much praise for the able and Efficient man
ner In which they have acquitted them
selves on all occasions when their services
were required. I 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. . 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 disincorporatine
the town and passing the Consolidation
bill, by which the city Of Virginia and thu
town Of Gold Hill havo 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
A IL 10 but an experiment. 10 remains tt
be seen what advantages. II any, will bt
gained to the business portion OF the towI
| by the change. II will, In my estimation'
| be found necessary BY the incoming ad
ministration 10 exercise the greatest dis
cretion In the management Of Affairs FOL
the coming year. -,
The revenue from taxable property will
be very much less than what IL was ias
year. and 10 likely TO continue decreasing
unless some developments In the mine'
would give . new aspect 70 ahairs.
| I sincerely thank the members OF 10.
Board for the very able manner In whicf
they have assisted me In tho Management
Of town affairs. Being compelled By othel
business to absent myself good deal from
the town and from the meetings OF th'
Board. I feel grateful for the indulgen
spirit manifested toward me BY the mem
bers. In closing your labors you can fee
Q Just pride within yourselves that yos
have had at all times the best interests O
the town at heart. Your labors have beer
srduous and without compensation, onl!
such a. you must all feel within yourselve
that gratifying reminder that - publi'
,ervants ron have performed the dutie
incumbent upon you and have prove'
