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 st the present time.
The finances OF the town are 10 . 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 liquidsted.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees 70
have the running expenses Of the town ~
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 the Fire
Department has been very vigilant In look.
| l.. sha hyIranea and rnafna And
keeping them In good condition.
The streets have been we'll attended to
and kept In good order.
The officers Of the town have been faith.
ful and energetic In the discharge OF their
duties. The police have been vigilsnt In
guarding the interests OF the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities TO
practice their nefsrious busin,ss. -.
The Fire Department are deserving OF
much praise for the able and efficient man.
ner in which they have acquitted them.
selves 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 IS an efficient
body OF fremen as those who have guarded
them in the past.
In conclusion. I would say that our
duties a. 9 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 disinoorporating
the town and passing the 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. It was the opinion Of those
advocating the measure that the interests
Of all concerned would DO furthered by
having ono government instead Of three.
Al IL 10 but an experiment, II 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 sd.
ministratlon 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 II was last
year, and 10 likely TO continue decreasing
| unless some developments In tho mines
would give new aspect 70 ahairs.
I sincerely thank the members OF the
Board for the very able manner In which
thew 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 o. the
Board. I feel grateful for the indulsent
spirit manifested toward me oy tne mem,
bsrs. In olosing your lsbors you can Ieel
