In submitting my annual report. a. re-
quired by law. ! have deemed II 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 q
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 oi
order. Tho 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
| full and energetic In the discharge Of thsil
duties. The police have been sigilsnt In
guarding the interests Of the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities tc
practice their nefarious business.
The Fire Department arc deserving oi
much praise for the able and efficient man
ner In which they have acquitted them
selves on all occasions when their services
we're 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 oui
duties 20 . Board Of Town Trustees viii
soon Be at an end. The people OF GOLD
Hill are soon to have change OF govern
ment, the last Legislature disincorporatinl
the town and passing the Consolidation
bill. by which the city Of Virginia and thu
town Of Gold Hill have been consoli
dated with the county Of Storey In one
government. II was the opinion Of thoss
advocating the measure that the Interests
Of all concerned would be furthered BY
having one government instesd OF three
| An II 10 but an experiment, IL remains te
be seen what advantages. II any. will bs
gained to the business portion Of the town
| by the change. II will, In my estimation,
| be found necessary BY the incoming ad'
ministrstion to exercise the greatest dis.
cretion In the management Of Affairs for
the coming year. -,
The revenue from taxable property will
be very much less than what 10 was last
year. and 10 likely 70 continue decreasing
unless some developments In the nine'
would give Q new aspect 10 Affairs.
I sincerely thank the members OF thu
Board for the very able manner In which
they have assisted ne In the management
Of town affairs. Being compelled BY othei
business TO absent myself good deal from
the town and from the meetings Of thu
Board. feel grateful for the indulgen
spirit manifested toward me BY the mem
bers. In closing your labors you can fee
. Just pride within yourselves that yor
have had ct all times the best interests o.
the town at heart. Your labors have beer
arduous and without compensation. onl!
such a. you must all feel within yourselve'
that gratifying reminder that - public
servants you have performed the dutiei
incumbent upon you and have provet
yourselves deserving the confidence Of th'
people Of Gold Hill. L. 7. Fox.
President Of the Board Of Trustees.
